Sliding patio doors for South Sound homes
A slider that glides with one finger, seals against wind-driven rain and locks properly.
What we see in South Sound homes
The old aluminum slider is the door everyone uses and nobody likes. It sticks in the track, whistles in a south wind and lets the cold in along the bottom. A new slider rolls on sealed bearings, has a proper sill pan under it so rain stays outside, and locks at more than one point.
Signs it is time
- You lift the door to get it to move
- Daylight or a draft along the bottom or the lock side
- Water on the floor after a storm
- Fog between the panes of the big fixed panel
From measure to installation day
- We measure the opening and check the floor and deck height on both sides
- You choose the panel layout, frame colour and hardware finish from samples at the measure
- On install day we set a sill pan and flash the opening before the door goes in
- We adjust the rollers and the lock with you and show you how to clean the track
What changes the price
- Width: two-panel or three- and four-panel
- Frame material
- Whether the opening needs to grow or shrink
- Interior trim and exterior finish work

We were worried about the old trim in our 1924 house. They kept every piece and matched the paint line. You cannot tell anything changed except the glass is clear.
How long is the house open?
For a standard swap, the opening is open for a couple of hours, not overnight. We plan the day so the new door is in and locked before lunch.
Can you make the opening wider?
Often, if the header allows. That becomes a framing job with a permit, and the quote says so plainly.
Foggy glass, cold drafts or a stuck slider?
One measure, one written quote, one installation day. No pressure to sign that night.
