AfterTrusted Sliding Glass & Patio Doors for Lauderhill Homeowners
Sliding glass and patio door replacement in Lauderhill typically costs between $1,800 and $4,500 per door, with impact-rated units running higher due to Broward County code requirements. Most installations take one day once the door is on site, and the decision usually comes down to three things: the right glass for our humidity, the right frame for our wind loads, and a company that will still answer the phone a year later. TruePane Windows & Doors has served Lauderhill homeowners for years with a simple standard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate, and a person will answer, not a voicemail tree.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 with a rule written on the shop whiteboard, and it governs every patio door we set in Lauderhill. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway, back the workmanship for 90 days under our Done Right Promise, and quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you see exactly what you are buying. We are not the cheapest bid in the room, and we do not intend to be. We are the company you call when the last door you bought binds in July and the installer no longer returns calls.

What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes
The work a Lauderhill homeowner needs on a sliding or patio door falls into four categories. We handle all of them with the same crew, the same standards, and the same written warranty registration on every job, whether it is a $250 repair or a $6,000 impact-rated replacement.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
A sliding glass door replacement is the full removal of your existing door and frame, followed by a new door set square, plumb, and level in the opening. Lauderhill homeowners come to us when the rollers have failed, the glass is fogged between panes, or the frame has rotted to the point where a repair would be throwing good money after bad. We measure the opening twice, order the door in the correct rough opening size, and install it with new flashing, new rollers, and a threshold that drains water away from the interior. Most replacements are completed in a single visit, and we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before we leave.
Patio Door Installation
Patio door installation covers the broader category of hinged French doors, multi-slide doors, and single panel patio doors, any door that opens your living space to a lanai, deck, or backyard. In Lauderhill, we recommend impact-rated glass for any door facing east or west, where afternoon thunderstorms and hurricane season are not hypothetical. Our installers are uniformed and background-checked, and they set every door with shims, not spray foam, because a door that is true today must still be true in August. Dale Kessler has been setting doors in South Florida since before some of our competitors were incorporated.
Sliding Glass Door Repair
Sliding glass door repair means replacing rollers, adjusting the track, replacing worn handles and locks, or resealing glass that has begun to fog. A Lauderhill door that is hard to slide is almost always a roller or track problem, and leaving it alone will not fix it, it will just wear out the track and make the eventual repair cost more. We stock OEM parts for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we can get parts for any major brand within days. Our standard repair is a free written repair estimate, and a repair gets the same warranty registration process as a full replacement.
Glass Railing Systems
Glass railing systems are the frameless or semi-frameless glass panels that line balconies, pool decks, and stairways. They are related to patio doors because they come from the same tempering and lamination processes, and they fail in the same ways: clouded glass, corroded hardware, and loose posts. We install and replace glass railing panels with laminated, code-compliant glass, and we do the work with the same Done Right Promise we extend to every door and window we touch. If a railing panel is cracked or a cap rail is pulling loose, call us before a handrail becomes a hazard.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
We are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, which means we order directly from the manufacturer, we get real factory warranties, and we know the product lines well enough to quote them side by side on paper. PGT is the workhorse of South Florida impact glass, and we have installed hundreds of PGT sliding doors in Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, and Sunrise. Their WinGuard and EcoView lines hold up well to our humidity, and we know which configurations meet Broward County wind codes without overspending. When a PGT door needs rollers, a handle, or a new lock, we stock the OEM parts rather than substituting whatever fits from a big box store.
CGI and ES Windows are the other two impact-rated manufacturers we carry by authorization, and each has a place in the conversation. CGI frames are heavier and favor homes on the water or on a western exposure. ES Windows are a finer extrusion with thermal breaks, and homeowners who care about energy efficiency and sightlines tend to choose them. Whether you own PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, or any other make, we can service it. If it is not a line we carry, we can still repair it and source the correct parts, and we will tell you honestly if the door is worth repairing or if you are better served replacing it.
Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Right Now
- The door binds or refuses to slide in summer. Aluminum expands in South Florida heat, and a door that slides fine in January may stick hard in July because the frame was not set with room for movement. It means the door was installed out of true, and forcing it will wear down rollers and channels.
- You can see daylight around the edges. A proper patio door seal should be tight against the weatherstripping all the way around. A visible gap means you are air conditioning your backyard, and during hurricane season it means the door is not shedding wind the way it should.
- Condensation or clouding between the panes. Once the seal fails and moisture gets between the glass, no amount of cleaning will fix it. The insulating gas has escaped, the glass will fog permanently, and the fix is a sealed unit replacement, not a wipe down.
- The lock does not engage or the handle hangs loose. A patio door that cannot lock is a security issue plain and simple. A handle that droops means the internal mechanism is worn to the point of failure, and it will only get worse until the door will not open from the outside at all.
- Water trails on the interior floor after a storm. This is the threshold flashing failing, the frame seal broken, or the door not draining properly. In Lauderhill, an afternoon storm can push an inch of water into your living room before you notice the puddle. It is never just a little leak.
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step
We do the work the same way every time, because the process is what makes the warranty worth the paper it is written on. Here is what you can expect when you call TruePane for a sliding or patio door in Lauderhill.
- 1
Call and get a person. You call (850) 303-7739, and a live person answers, day or night. We ask what the door is doing, what brand it is, and when you need it addressed. We then schedule a time to look at it, at your convenience, not ours.
- 2
Measure and quote on paper. A uniformed, background-checked technician arrives, measures every opening twice, and quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper. You see the door, the glass package, the warranty terms, and the installed price before you commit to anything. No five-figure hand-waving and a contract.
- 3
Installation done true. We pull permits where required by the City of Lauderhill, and we set the door with shims and proper flashing, not shortcuts. We follow manufacturer installation specs to the letter, because a door installed outside spec has no warranty, no matter what the salesperson said.
- 4
Warranty registration and walkthrough. Before the truck leaves the driveway, both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing and the durations are stated on your paperwork. We walk you through the operation, the care, and what to do if anything ever goes wrong.
- 5
Ninety days of Done Right. If anything is not right in the first 90 days, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing, no fine print that covers neither. That is The Keystone Standard, and it has been the baseline on every job since Dale Kessler founded the company.
How Much Does Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Cost in Lauderhill?
A standard sliding glass door replacement in Lauderhill runs $1,800 to $3,800 for a non-impact unit, while impact-rated sliding doors from PGT, CGI, or ES Windows typically land between $3,200 and $6,500 depending on size, glass package, and frame finish. Sliding glass door repair is far less, usually $180 to $400 for rollers, handles, or a lock replacement, and $350 to $800 for a new sealed glass unit in an existing frame. These numbers reflect what we regularly quote and install in Lauderhill, not national averages from a website.
What moves the price is the opening size, whether the door must be impact-rated under Broward County code, the glass package you choose, and whether the existing frame can be reused for a repair. The way to avoid overpaying is simple: get a written line-item quote that separates the door, the glass, the installation, and any permit fees, and ask what the warranty registration process looks like. If a contractor cannot or will not register your warranty in writing, you are paying for a guarantee that does not exist. Our free estimates include all of it, on paper, before you spend a dime.

Frequently Asked Questions - Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Lauderhill
Sliding glass and patio door service is the replacement, installation, and repair of the doors that open your home to a patio, lanai, or backyard, including sliding panels, French doors, multi-slide doors, and the glass panels that frame them. In Lauderhill, the work typically involves rollers, tracks, glass, frames, handles, locks, and weatherstripping. A full-service glazier like TruePane handles everything from a single roller replacement to a complete impact-rated door installation, all under the same warranty standard. Call (850) 303-7739 to describe what your door is doing and we will tell you what it likely needs.
A standard sliding glass door replacement is a one-day job once the door is on site. The door itself takes two to four weeks to come from the manufacturer, depending on whether it is stock or custom, and we order nothing until we have measured twice and confirmed the opening size. Most repairs, including rollers, locks, and handles, are completed in a single visit without a second appointment.
The most common repairs we do in Lauderhill, roller and track work, run $180 to $340, while a new sealed glass unit in an existing frame typically runs $350 to $800. Full sliding door replacement starts around $1,800 and goes up from there based on size and whether you need impact-rated glass. The only way to know your actual number is a measurement and a written quote, and ours is free.
Yes, we are an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, and we stock OEM parts for these lines because they are the most common impact-rated doors in Broward County. We also service and repair every other major brand including Andersen, Pella, Marvin, Milgard, Jeld-Wen, and CWS. If the brand is not on our list, call anyway, we can source the parts and tell you honestly if the door is worth fixing or if it is time to replace it. Call (850) 303-7739 for an exact quote.
Yes. A sliding glass door that will not close, lock, or seal is an emergency, and a live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We handle urgent calls in Lauderhill and the surrounding cities, and we will tell you honestly over the phone whether the door needs to be secured now or can wait for a scheduled appointment. Our team is local, not a regional call center routing a job to some other county.
Every new door includes The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing, with durations stated on your paperwork, before the truck leaves the driveway. This covers the manufacturer’s glass and frame warranty, and the manufacturer’s installation-dependent warranty remains valid because we install to factory spec. Our Done Right Promise then covers workmanship for 90 days, no paperwork fights and no arguing.
Clear the area around the door, inside and out, about five feet in each direction, and move any furniture or plants that could be in the way. Plan for the power to be off to any outlet within the zone for a short period while we work. If you have a security system sensor on the door, let us know when we arrive and we will work around it. We handle permit paperwork where the City of Lauderhill requires it, and we protect your floors and walkways with coverings before any work begins. For a ballpark on cost before you schedule, call (850) 303-7739 and we will talk you through it.
