AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Sunrise
Sliding door replacement in Sunrise usually runs $2,800 to $6,500 for a standard 6-foot patio slider, and $5,000 to $12,000+ for a heavy-duty or panoramic impact-rated system. Most jobs take one full day once the door arrives, though HOA approvals and Broward County permits can add a week or two before we even order materials. If your track is binding or the glass is fogged, call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll come inspect it. We know Sunrise’s housing stock: mostly 1960s through 1980s CBS homes and villas where the original aluminum sliders are long past their service life.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
We’ve been opening up walls in Sunrise long enough to know what’s behind them. Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That governs every slider replacement, every HOA coordination call, every permit filing. Sunrise homeowners call us because we show up when we say, we write the warranty paperwork before the truck leaves the driveway, and we don’t argue about making a job right in the first 90 days. A live person answers our phone 24/7, so when a Sunrise customer calls about a jammed roller at 7 a.m., they get a person, not a voicemail tree.
What Sunrise customers tell us matters more than the job itself: we measure twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and walk them through exactly what the county’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone rules mean for their door. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s not a slogan. Both warranty layers get registered in writing with durations stated, every time. For many years in this trade, the standard has been the same: done right the first visit, and squared away if it isn’t.
We serve Sunrise from dispatch coordinated through our South Florida office, with local crews who know the neighborhoods, the HOA boards, and the permit desk. That matters when a job in Sunrise Golf Village needs a specific frame color approved before the permit is filed.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Sunrise
Patio Sliding Doors
Most Sunrise homes were built with 6-foot aluminum sliders that are now corroded, misaligned, or simply not impact-rated. We replace them with properly flashed, code-compliant doors sized to the actual rough opening, not the old door’s face dimensions. In Sunrise, that usually means a full frame-and-sash tear-out because the opening has shifted out of square from decades of soil settlement.
Panoramic Sliding Systems
Panoramic multi-panel sliders are a growing request in Sunrise’s villa and ranch-style homes, where homeowners want to open an entire wall to a patio or pool deck. These systems are heavier, the header loads are real, and in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone the engineering has to be right. We pull permits, we spec the wind-load calculations, and we install with stainless hardware that holds up to ground-level humidity better than the zinc-plated hardware we pull out of old Sunrise sliders.
Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
For Sunrise homeowners replacing a slider on a lakefront lot or a second-story condo terrace, heavy-duty frames and reinforced rollers are the difference between a door that glides for 20 years and one that binds by the second July. We install heavy-duty sliders with double-roller trucks, stainless tracks, and factory-torqued hardware. The old 1970s aluminum frames we regularly remove in Sunrise have rollers that seize from corrosion; the fix is a complete replacement, not a roller swap.
Pocket & Barn Doors
Pocket doors in older Sunrise homes often hide their own mess: hollow wall cavities, insect damage, and non-square framing behind the trim. We source interior pocket kits and barn-door hardware for villa remodel jobs where the existing wall isn’t built to hold a heavy slider. For exterior applications, we stick to rated systems; interior barn doors are about fit and finish.
If you’re not sure which door your opening can support, call our Sliding & Patio Doors team and we’ll come measure it. A half-inch of settlement changes what fits.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT. For Sunrise customers, that means we can quote a Marvin slider and a PGT impact-rated slider side by side on paper so you see exactly what each door costs and what each warranty covers. We keep common replacement parts stocked for the lines we install most here, which shortens turnaround when a roller or latch fails and you don’t want to wait on a factory ship.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Corroded aluminum frames seizing the rollers. Sunrise’s position on drained Everglades wetland creates persistent ground-level humidity that eats at aluminum. We find sliders where the bottom track is pitted, the rollers are frozen, and the panel won’t move even with two hands on the handle.
- Out-of-square rough openings from soil settlement. Organically rich soil shifts. In Sunrise, it shifts enough that a new insert replacement can’t be shimmed true. Full tear-out and reframing is often the only honest fix, and it’s the fix that keeps the door square for another 30 years.
- Non-impact sliders failing Broward County code. Original single-pane sliders from the 1960s through 1980s don’t meet post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load requirements. Open up that wall for any permitted remodel or replacement and the county will require a Florida Product Approval impact-rated door.
- Fogged glass units in newer sliders. When the seal on an insulated glass unit fails, humidity gets between the panes and the glass looks milky. You’re not replacing just the glass in most Sunrise cases; the frame is often part of the same symptom.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Sunrise, FL
A standard patio slider replacement in Sunrise runs $2,800-$6,500, depending on size, impact rating, and whether the opening needs reframing. Panoramic multi-panel systems typically fall between $5,000 and $12,000, and a truly heavy-duty impact-rated unit for a large opening can run $7,000 to $15,000 with the required engineering and permitting. Screen door installation is the low end of the range, usually $250-$700. The big variable in Sunrise is what we find once the old door comes out: out-of-square framing is common, but it’s not a surprise on the bill. We write allowances into the contract for exactly that reason, and any change gets priced and approved in writing before we touch it. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free estimate and a line-item quote, not a vague number.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Sunrise
Because Sunrise sits on drained Everglades wetland, and the organic soil under the slab has moved over 40 to 60 years. Most rough openings in this city are out of square by a quarter inch or more, and an insert replacement can’t be shimmed true without leaving air gaps and stress on the glass. A full tear-out lets us reframe the opening square, flash it properly, and set the new door plumb and level. Call (850) 303-7739 and we’ll inspect your specific opening before you commit to a method.
Yes. Sunrise is in Broward County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Any permitted sliding door replacement must meet Florida Product Approval impact-rated wind-load requirements. There’s no inland exemption. If you’re replacing an original non-impact slider from the 1960s to 1980s, plan for an impact-rated door as part of the job. We handle the permit, the HOA paperwork if needed, and the inspection.
In many Sunrise villa and townhome communities, the HOA has deed restrictions on frame color, grid pattern, and sometimes door style. Sunrise Golf Village and similar 1970s-era communities are known for this. We coordinate approval with the HOA before filing the permit, so the job doesn’t get stopped mid-frame-out for a color mismatch. A little paperwork up front saves weeks on the back end.
Usually, yes. Fog between the panes means the insulated glass unit seal has failed. On older Sunrise sliders, the frame is often corroded or out of square too, so replacing just the glass means putting new glass in a failing frame. We’ll tell you honestly whether a glass-only replacement makes sense for your door or whether a full replacement is the better dollar-for-value. Call (850) 303-7739 for an inspection.
Expect to find exactly what we’ve found in hundreds of Sunrise homes: soil-settled framing that’s out of square, corroded aluminum jambs, and water intrusion you couldn’t see from the inside. In Sunrise Golf Village, our crew pulled a corroded 1970s aluminum slider from a CBS villa and found the jamb so far out of square from settlement that an insert replacement was impossible. We did a full tear-out, reframed the opening, and installed a heavy-duty impact-rated Andersen gliding door with low-E glass and argon fill, then flashed the rough opening with tape before stucco patch. The HOA required a specific frame color and grid pattern, so we coordinated approval before the permit to avoid a stop-work delay. That’s the job done right, and it’s the only way we’ll do it.
