When to Replace
Signs It's Time for a New Sliding Glass Door
If your old slider has any of these symptoms, you're losing money on cooling and risking water damage every Florida storm season.
Hard to Slide or Stuck
Worn rollers and bent tracks make daily use frustrating — and indicate frame settling.
Foggy or Cracked Glass
Fogging means the seal has failed and you’re paying to cool the outdoors.
Drafts Around the Frame
Old aluminum frames conduct Florida heat straight into your home.
Water Leaks During Rain
Failing weatherstripping and tracks let water into your living room — leading to mold and rot.
Single-Pane / No Impact Rating
Pre-2002 sliders rarely meet today’s Florida hurricane code.
Outdated Look or Style
Old bronze-tinted aluminum sliders kill resale value and curb appeal.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement Options
Whether you want a like-for-like 6-foot replacement or you're ready to open up the back of the house with a 16-foot pocket slider, we have the right impact-rated system for your Florida home.
2-Panel Impact Slider
The classic 6-foot or 8-foot impact-rated slider — fixed panel and a single sliding panel with multi-point lock.
3-Panel & 4-Panel Sliders
Wide-opening 9-foot to 16-foot configurations that flood your living space with natural light and Florida views.
Pocket Sliding Doors
Premium sliders that fully retract into the wall for a seamless indoor-outdoor connection — perfect for lanais.
French Door Conversion
Replace a tired old slider with elegant impact-rated French doors. We handle the framing and header re-work.
Built for Florida
Engineered Features That Matter
HVHZ Impact Glass
Laminated PVB or SentryGlas interlayer passes Florida's Large Missile Test for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone.
LoE-366 + Argon
Blocks 95% of UV rays and slashes solar heat gain — your couches stop fading and your AC stops running constantly.
Multi-Point Locking
Forced-entry-resistant locking systems with reinforced strike plates — far more secure than a 1990s aluminum slider.
Smooth Glide Tracks
Stainless tandem rollers and reinforced tracks mean a 200-pound panel slides with one finger — for decades.

FAQ
Sliding Glass Door Replacement Questions
How much does sliding glass door replacement cost in Florida?+
A standard 6-foot impact-rated sliding glass door replacement in Brevard County typically runs $3,800–$6,500 fully installed. Larger 8-foot, 9-foot, or three-panel pocket sliders range from $7,000–$15,000 depending on glass package and finish. We offer free in-home estimates and 0% financing through Regions Bank and EnerBank USA.
How long does it take to replace a sliding glass door?+
Most sliding glass door replacements are completed in 4–8 hours. A two-person crew arrives in the morning, removes your old door, prepares the opening, sets the new door, flashes and seals it, and finishes the trim — your home is weather-tight before the crew leaves.
Do I need an impact-rated sliding glass door in Florida?+
In most Florida counties, yes. Brevard, Indian River, and any home within Florida’s wind-borne debris region must have either impact-rated glass or approved hurricane shutters covering the sliding door opening. An impact-rated slider eliminates the need to install panels every storm and qualifies you for insurance discounts.
Can you replace a sliding glass door with French doors or bigger sliders?+
Yes. We regularly convert old 6-foot sliders into French doors, 8-foot sliders, three-panel sliders, or pocket sliding doors that disappear into the wall. Because we’re a licensed Florida General Contractor (CGC1520460), we handle the framing, header sizing, and permit work in-house.
What brands of sliding glass doors do you install?+
We install premium sliding glass doors from CWS (Custom Window Systems), Eastern Architectural, ViWinTech, Simonton, and PGT — all rated for Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone with laminated impact glass, multi-point locks, and energy-efficient LoE-366 / argon glazing.
Will a new sliding glass door lower my electric bill?+
Yes. Old aluminum-frame sliders are one of the biggest sources of cooling loss in a Florida home. Replacing with a new thermally-broken impact slider with LoE-366 glass and argon insulation typically lowers cooling costs 10–20%.
Do you fix or replace just the sliding glass door rollers and tracks?+
We focus on full sliding glass door replacement rather than spot repairs. If your slider is more than 15 years old, has fogged glass, leaks during storms, or is hard to slide, replacement is almost always the better long-term value than repeated repairs.
