Sliding and patio door replacement for Austin homes — replacing drafty aluminum sliding doors and aging patio door units across Travis County. Call (512) 615-9042 to schedule your door replacement. Patio doors face west in many Austin tract homes, making them a significant source of heat gain and air infiltration.
The Situation Driving This Search
Your patio door leaks air around the frame, sticks when sliding, or the aluminum frame has oxidized and lost its weather seal. West-facing sliding doors in Austin homes are high heat-gain points — upgraded doors reduce both heat gain and air infiltration measurably.
Why It Matters in Austin
Patio doors face west in many Austin tract homes — maximum afternoon sun exposure. Aluminum sliding doors from the 1980s–90s have no thermal break and no Low-E glass. The heat gain through an uncoated west-facing patio door on a July afternoon is substantial. Replacement is a qualified installation call — not a repair.

Common Questions Before You Call
How much will new windows cost?
Window replacement costs in Austin typically run $300–$800 per window installed, depending on size, frame material, and glass type. Whole-house replacement projects range from $4,000 to $20,000+ depending on window count and specifications. We provide written pricing before work begins — no surprises.
Can’t I just have my current windows repaired instead?
If your windows have a single cracked pane or a broken latch, repair may make sense — we recommend contacting your original installer or a glass specialist for repair work. If your windows are fogging between panes, frames are warping, or you’re seeing a pattern of seal failures, replacement is typically more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
How long does window replacement take?
Single window: 1–2 hours. Whole house (10–15 windows): 1–2 days. We install one window at a time so your home is never fully open to the outside at once.

Frequently Asked Questions
What patio door frame materials do you install?
We install vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum-clad patio door frames. Vinyl frames are the most common choice for Austin homes — no thermal conductivity, durable in UV exposure, and cost-effective. Fiberglass is available for higher-performance applications. Aluminum-clad frames are available where HOA requirements specify aluminum exteriors.
Is patio door replacement the same as window replacement?
Patio door replacement is a full unit replacement — removing the existing door frame and installing a new door unit. This is a qualified replacement call, not a repair. We replace the full door unit, including frame, glass, and hardware.
Do you repair patio doors?
We specialize in full door replacement and new installation. For repair of existing patio doors — including roller replacement, latch repair, or glass replacement — we recommend contacting your original installer or a local glass specialist.
How long does patio door replacement take?
A single sliding patio door replacement typically takes 2–4 hours. We measure the opening precisely before ordering to ensure a proper fit. Installation is completed in one visit in most cases.
