Entry & Patio Doors
Front-door, sliding-patio-door, French-door, and multi-panel replacement planned around the existing opening and daily use.
Door replacement starts with the opening, not a catalog. We review frame condition, threshold and drainage details, operation, security hardware, glass, exposure, and surrounding finishes before recommending an entry, sliding patio, French, or multi-panel system. The written scope should make clear whether the existing frame can remain or a full-frame replacement is needed.
How to choose the right scope
- Document sticking, drafts, water entry, damaged frames, lock problems, and threshold conditions.
- Compare operation, accessibility, glass package, screens, hardware, and drainage details.
- Confirm whether the opening or exterior envelope changes before ordering.
What happens next
- 1. Share photos, the address, approximate dimensions, and what is not working.
- 2. Review practical options and receive a written scope for the selected product or glass.
- 3. Complete final measurement before custom fabrication or ordering.
- 4. Install the approved work and review the finished project.

Entry & Patio Doors common questions
Can you help me choose the right entry or patio door?
Yes. Selection should account for opening size, exposure, security, glass, operation, threshold, frame condition, exterior finish, and the written product specifications.
When is a full frame replacement appropriate?
A full-frame approach may be appropriate when the frame is damaged, the opening needs correction, water intrusion is present, or the new system requires a different configuration. The existing opening must be assessed first.
What should I compare in patio doors?
Compare operating style, frame material, glass package, sill and drainage details, locking hardware, screen options, accessibility needs, and manufacturer documentation.
Do door projects ever require permits?
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and scope. Changes to structural openings, egress, or exterior-envelope details may require review, so confirm with the local permitting authority.
