What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes
Sliding Glass & Patio Doors - Miami take more abuse than any other opening in your home. Salt air, humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, and a track that collects sand from every trip to the beach. Our service covers the full life of these doors, whether we installed them originally or they came with the house. Here is what we handle, with the same standard on every job: done right the first visit.
Sliding Glass Door Repair
When a sliding glass door starts sticking, jumping the track, or letting daylight through the weatherstripping, the problem is usually one of three things: worn rollers, a bent or corroded track, or a frame that has settled out of square. In Miami, we also see salt corrosion on aluminum frames along the coast, from Coral Gables Sliding Glass & Patio Doors to North Miami, that compounds all three. Our technicians measure the opening and the frame before touching the hardware, then replace rollers, realign the track, or rebuild the frame seating so the door moves with two fingers, not two hands. We service every brand we install, and most brands we do not.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement
A door that has reached the end of its service life is not just an inconvenience - it is a standing air leak and, in hurricane season, a real risk. We replace sliding glass doors with impact-rated units from PGT, CGI, and CWS that meet Miami-Dade County code, including High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements. Our technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before leaving. When we replace a door, the old frame comes out, the rough opening gets inspected and corrected, and the new frame is set plumb and true - not shimmed into the existing gap and caulked over.

Patio Door Installation
New patio door installation in Miami means deciding between aluminum and vinyl, impact-rated or standard, and whether the home’s architecture calls for a two-panel slider, a three-panel slider, or a French-style patio door. We walk through those choices with you in plain language, quoting side by side so you can see what each line offers and what each warranty covers. The installation itself is done by background-checked, uniformed technicians who work in your home the way they would work in their own mother’s. The door is set, sealed, and tested before we call the job done.

Patio Door Repair
Hinged patio doors develop their own set of problems in Miami’s climate: sagging that makes the lock bolt miss the strike plate, swelling that makes the door drag on the threshold in July, and failed seals that show up as condensation between the glass by October. We repair these at the source, not the symptom - resizing the door, resetting the jamb, replacing the insulated glass unit, or rebuilding the threshold flashing as needed. If the frame has twisted beyond true, we say so and quote a replacement rather than a patch that will fail again.

Sliding Glass Door Glass Replacement
A double-pane sliding door with a fogged interior is a failed seal, not a cleaning problem. In Miami, where humidity is a constant, a failed seal means moisture will keep wicking in and the fog will come back no matter how many times you wipe it down. We replace the insulated glass unit itself, matching the coating, tint, and argon fill to the original manufacturer specifications. For impact-rated units, we match the interlayer and the glazing system so the replacement panel still carries its windborne debris rating.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
We are an authorized installer for PGT products, and we have worked on hundreds of their sliding glass and patio doors across Miami-Dade County, from Cutler Bay to Aventura. PGT’s impact-rated lines - WinGuard, PremierVue, and ClassicVue - are built in Florida for Florida, and we know the hardware, the rollers, and the glazing specs by heart. When a PGT door comes to us with a worn roller assembly or a fogged panel, we stock the OEM parts and we register the warranty with PGT in writing before the truck leaves the driveway.
CGI impact doors are a different animal - heavier frames, thicker glass, and hardware built for the most exposed coastal exposures in Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Miami Beach and Palmetto Bay. We quote CGI’s Sentinel and Estate lines side by side with other manufacturers so you can see the price difference in writing. We also service ViewLux doors, which are common in mid-rise condos along Brickell and Edgewater, where the HOA requirements often dictate specific sightlines and finish colors. Whether you have PGT, CGI, ViewLux, or any other make of sliding glass or patio door, we can help.
Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Right Now
- The door takes both hands and a hip to open. A properly installed sliding glass door moves on its rollers with two fingers. If you are using your whole body, the rollers are shot or the track is corroded, and every additional opening scrape damages the frame further. In coastal Miami neighborhoods, salt in the air accelerates this corrosion, so what starts as a nuisance becomes a stuck door.
- You can see daylight around the door frame. Weatherstripping is the first thing to fail on a sliding door, and natural light is not the only thing getting through - it is air, humidity, and water during a Miami thunderstorm. A gap around the frame means your air conditioner is working harder and your energy bill is telling the truth about it.
- Condensation builds up between the glass panes. That moisture you cannot wipe away means the factory seal on the insulated glass unit has failed. Left alone, the argon fill escapes, the glass loses its thermal performance, and the inside of the pane starts to etch permanently. It is not reversible - the panel needs replacing.
- The lock does not line up with the strike plate. This one is easy to ignore until it matters. A lock that does not fully engage is a door that is not secured, and in a city like Miami, a sliding glass door is a common point of entry. If you can lift or push the locked door and hear rattle or see movement, the lock is not doing its job.
- The door was installed by someone who did not last long. If the original installer is out of business, the track is binding, and the warranty papers are a mystery, the door needs a real inspection, not another patch. We see doors all over Kendall and Doral that were set out of square from day one - and they bind worse every summer as the heat expands the frame.
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step
We keep the process straightforward because surprises are for birthday parties, not home repairs. Here is exactly how a sliding glass or patio door job works with us.
- 1
You call, a person answers. A live person picks up the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You describe the problem, we ask a few questions, and we schedule a time that works. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no call center in another state.
- 2
We inspect and measure - twice. Our technician arrives on time, in uniform, and background-checked. We measure every opening twice, check the square of the frame, inspect the track, the rollers, the glazing, and the surrounding wall for signs of water intrusion. You get a written diagnosis and a quote on paper, with manufacturer lines side by side if a replacement is needed.
- 3
You approve the quote - no surprises. We price the job with line items: materials, labor, any code-required upgrades, and haul-away of the old door. The quote you approve is the price you pay. No change orders, no surprise line items, no “we found a problem” call in the middle of the job.
- 4
We do the work - done right. The repair or replacement is completed by the same technician, not handed off to a subcontractor. We install to manufacturer specifications, pull permits where required in Miami-Dade County, and schedule the inspection. For impact-rated doors, we verify the installation meets HVHZ requirements before we call it finished.
- 5
We register both warranty layers in writing. Before the truck leaves your driveway, the manufacturer warranty is registered and the duration is stated in writing. Then we hand you the TruePane paperwork: the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something is not done right, we make it right - no paperwork fights, no arguing. If the pane is not true, the job is not done.
How Much Does Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Cost in Miami?
The honest answer is that it depends on the door and the scope. A typical sliding glass door repair in Miami runs $180-$450 depending on the hardware replaced and the condition of the track. A full glass panel replacement on a sliding door runs $350-$800 for a standard double-pane unit, more for impact-rated or low-E coated glass. A full sliding glass door replacement in Miami runs $2,500-$7,500 depending on the size, the brand, and whether you are going impact-rated or standard, while our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Hialeah follow the same pricing structure. A new patio door installation runs $2,000-$6,000, with impact-rated PGT or CGI units at the higher end of that range.
What Affects the Price
- Impact rating. Miami-Dade County requires impact-rated products in many areas. These doors have laminated glass and reinforced frames, and they cost more than standard units.
- Opening size. Standard 60×80 doors are the most affordable. Anything wider, taller, or custom adds to material and labor.
- Frame condition. If the existing frame is corroded, out of square, or built into a wall that has settled, the job is more involved than a simple panel swap.
- Access. Second-floor installations, narrow stairways, or tight courtyard access all affect labor.
How to Avoid Overpaying
Get a written quote with line items, not a single number scrawled on a business card. Ask whether the quote includes haul-away, whether permits are included, and whether the manufacturer warranty will be registered in your name. At TruePane, all of that is standard - written quotes, permits pulled and inspections passed, manufacturer warranties registered in writing, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. We also offer $50 off any repair over $250, an $89 seasonal tune-up, and a permanent 5% discount for seniors and veterans.
