AfterTrusted Sliding Glass & Patio Doors for Westchester Homeowners
Sliding glass and patio doors in Westchester typically cost between $1,800 and $6,500 installed, depending on size, glass package, and whether you need impact-rated protection. At Winslow Windows & Doors, we’ve been installing and repairing these doors for Westchester homeowners since 2011, and we answer the phone live, 24 hours a day. When a patio door starts sticking, leaking, or letting in drafts, it’s rarely a small problem, and the fix often requires more than a can of lubricant. That’s where we come in. Call (863) 251-5864 for a free estimate from a local company that puts Ed Winslow’s name on every job.
Most Westchester homes were built with sliding doors that have seen twenty or thirty years of salt air, afternoon storms, and daily use. The tracks wear down, the rollers flatten, and the seals dry out. We replace those failing doors with modern systems sized to the existing opening, and we do it without turning your living room into a construction zone for a week. If you’re in Westchester, Miami, or Coral Gables, we’re already in your neighborhood, and we don’t charge a trip fee inside our home county.
What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes
Sliding glass and patio doors aren’t one-size-fits-all. Some Westchester homes need a straightforward replacement of a builder-grade door. Others need an engineered impact system that meets Miami-Dade County code and protects the house from wind-borne debris. We handle all of it, and we never push a homeowner into a product they don’t need. Here’s exactly what we do.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
When a sliding door has failed beyond repair, we remove it down to the rough opening, inspect the framing for water damage, and install a new door that fits like it was built for the house, because it will be. The most common replacements we do in Westchester are the old aluminum-frame sliders that leak air and jiggle in the wind. We upgrade those to thermally broken aluminum or vinyl frames with laminated glass, better rollers, and a tighter seal. A typical replacement takes one day for the door itself, with cleanup handled before we leave your driveway.
Patio Door Installation
Patio doors serve a different purpose than sliding glass doors. They’re wider, they’re the main access point to your back yard or lanai, and they need to open and close without a fight. We install hinged French-style patio doors, two and three-panel sliders, and pocket door systems that disappear into the wall. Before any installation, we check the floor for level and the opening for square. If the rough framing is off by even a quarter inch, we correct it before hanging the door, because that’s the difference between a door that swings smoothly for twenty years and one that sags in two.
Sliding Door Repair
Not every sliding door needs to be replaced. A door that’s hard to slide usually has worn rollers, and a door that’s drafty usually has bad weatherstripping. We repair these issues all the time. What we won’t do is patch a door that’s structurally compromised, which happens in Westchester when salt air has eaten through the frame. If repair makes sense, we’ll tell you, and it usually costs far less than replacement. Just remember that any repair over $200 qualifies for a $40 discount, and second opinions on written estimates are always free.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Living in Westchester means your sliding doors should be able to take a hit, not just from a burglar but from a flying tree branch during hurricane season. Impact-rated sliding doors use laminated glass that cracks but holds together, and frames reinforced to stay in the opening even when the glass takes a direct strike. We are authorized installers for PGT and CGI, two of the most respected impact-door manufacturers in Florida. Before you buy an impact door from anyone, check what our Miami customers have experienced with our impact installations. We pull permits when required, and we schedule inspections so the work is on record with the county.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
Every manufacturer builds doors a little differently, and knowing those differences matters when you’re diagnosing a problem or ordering parts. We carry certifications and factory training for the brands we sell, and we service what we sell for the long haul. We work extensively with Therma-Tru doors, and our technicians understand their hinge systems, threshold designs, and glass packages down to the model number. When a Therma-Tru patio door develops a seal failure, we know the fix, and we can usually complete it in one visit.
For modern architectural sliding doors, we install and service ES Windows and ECO Window Systems. These are high-performance systems popular in newer Westchester construction, and they require precise installation to keep their thermal performance. We’ve seen what happens when these doors are installed slightly out of level, and we fix that too. Whether your door carries one of these names or it’s an older builder-grade unit with no branding left on the frame, call us and we’ll identify it, source the right parts, and give you an honest recommendation. If you’re comparing us to other installers, we also outfit homes in Coral Gables with the same premium brands.
Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Right Now
- The door sticks or grinds when you slide it. This usually means the rollers have flattened or the track is bent. Forcing the door open and closed makes the problem worse and can eventually crack the glass or damage the frame. We fix this routinely, often for under $300.
- Water pools on the floor after a rain. In Westchester, this is often the result of a failed threshold seal or a frame that has shifted. Standing water rots subflooring and breeds mold inside the wall. The longer it goes, the more expensive the repair becomes.
- You feel a draft even when the door is closed. Worn weatherstripping or a frame that has moved can let cooled or heated air escape all day, every day. On an average Westchester utility bill, that’s real money. We can replace the seals or, if needed, adjust the door so it closes tight.
- The glass is fogged or shows condensation between the panes. That’s a failed insulated glass unit, and it means the seal is broken. The glass can’t be repaired, but it can be replaced with a new unit that restores clarity and efficiency. In many cases, the frame stays and only the glass panel changes out.
- The door doesn’t lock properly. A sliding door that won’t lock is an open invitation. Even if the door slides fine, a broken lock or a misaligned latch means the door isn’t securing your home. We treat this as a priority issue, and we’ll tighten or replace the locking hardware so the door actually does its job.
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
Free assessment at your home. We come to your Westchester property, measure the opening, inspect the framing and floor, and listen to what the door is doing. This is where we find the actual problem, not just the symptom, and we walk you through what we see. You get a written quote before we leave, and there’s no fee for the visit inside our home county.
- 2
Product selection and ordering. If replacement is the answer, we help you choose a door that fits your house, your budget, and the local code. We explain the difference between standard and impact glass, and we show you samples so you can see and feel the hardware before deciding. The door is ordered factory-direct, and we handle all measurements and paperwork.
- 3
Removal and structural inspection. On installation day, we pull the old door and inspect the rough opening for rot, termite damage, or improper framing. If we find problems, we show you photos before we proceed and give you the cost to correct it. No change orders get slipped in at the end, because we handle surprises while you’re watching, not after.
- 4
Installation and sealing. The new door goes in level, square, and plumb. We flash the opening, install new insulation, and seal every joint against water and air infiltration. Then we reinstall trim, caulk the exterior, and clean up the work area completely, including hauling away the old door.
- 5
Final walkthrough and the guarantee. Before we leave, you test the door, inspect the locks, and watch the glass. If anything isn’t perfect, we fix it on the spot. And every installation is covered by the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That promise has no expiration date.
How Much Does Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Cost in Westchester?
A standard sliding glass door replacement in Westchester runs between $1,800 and $3,500 for most homes. Patio door installations with a wider frame or hinged panels typically run $2,500 to $5,000. Impact-rated sliding doors from PGT or CGI start around $4,000 and can reach $6,500 or more depending on size and glass options. Repairs are significantly less: a roller replacement usually runs $180 to $350, a seal replacement $150 to $300, and a glass-only replacement $400 to $900.
What affects the price most is the glass package. Westchester is in hurricane territory, so many homeowners choose impact glass, which adds cost but protects the house and may reduce insurance premiums. The condition of your existing framing matters too. If the rough opening is rotted or out of square, it has to be corrected before the new door goes in, and that adds labor. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a line-item quote that shows exactly what you’re paying for: the door, the hardware, the labor, the permit, the disposal. That’s what we hand you on the first visit. Call (863) 251-5864 and we’ll give you a number that doesn’t change once work begins.

If a patio door won’t close, won’t lock, or has shattered glass, we treat that as a priority and we’ll get a technician to your home as fast as possible. We don’t use call centers or voicemail loops. You call, we answer, and we get you scheduled. If it’s after hours, you’re still talking to a person, not a recording.
We provide the 36500-Day Done Right Promise on every installation and repair. That means if the work isn’t done right, we come back and make it right, no fine print, no expiration date. In addition, the doors we install carry manufacturer warranties on the frame, hardware, and glass, and we help you register those warranties so they’re valid. Ed Winslow’s name is on the business, and the promise is his, not a corporate policy.
Clear the area around the door inside and out, move furniture and plants at least six feet from the opening, and remove anything fragile from nearby shelves. If you have pets, keep them in another room while we’re working. We’ll handle everything else, including protecting the floors, containing the dust, and hauling away the old door and all debris. There’s nothing you need to do to the structure itself; we prefer to inspect it before we touch anything.
