Trusted Sliding Glass & Patio Doors for Plantation Homeowners

A sliding glass door that sticks, rattles, or lets daylight through the frame edge is doing more than annoying you. It’s leaking conditioned air, making your utility bill climb, and quietly telling you the rollers or track are wearing out. In Plantation, where humidity and afternoon thunderstorms work hard against door seals and hardware, we replace and repair sliding doors with the same standard Dale Kessler set when he founded TruePane Windows & Doors in 2008: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’ve served Plantation, Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, and surrounding Broward communities since 2008 through a heritage of craft and community commitment. Call (772) 577-2915 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.

Key Takeaways

• Sliding patio door replacement in Plantation typically runs $1,200 to $4,800 installed, depending on glass package, size, and frame material. Repair work like roller or track replacement usually lands between $180 and $420.
• Most sliding door repairs are completed in a single visit. Full replacements take one day for the tear-out and set, plus a short follow-up for final adjustment after the frame settles.
• TruePane registers both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before leaving your driveway. No other local shop we know of does that on every job.
• We’re an authorized installer for, PGT, CGI, and more than a dozen other lines. We quote side by side on paper so you see exactly what you’re paying for.
• Plantation’s salt air, humidity, and storm season punish sliding door hardware faster than inland locations. Annual track cleaning and roller inspection pays for itself in door lifespan.

What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes

We handle the full range of sliding glass work: new door installation, full replacement, track and roller repair, glass package upgrades, and impact-rated retrofits. Here’s how each one works when we do it in Plantation.

Sliding Patio Door Installation

New construction or an opening that’s never had a slider before. We measure the rough opening twice, check for level and plumb, and order the door to fit the actual dimensions of the opening, not the dimensions the previous contractor assumed. TruePane installs the frame with shimmed, screwed, and sealed corners so the door operates square from day one. We pull permits when Broward County requires them and schedule the inspection before we call the job complete.

Sliding Patio Door Replacement

This is our most common Plantation job. The old aluminum frame has corroded, the glass package is dated, or the door no longer locks with confidence. We remove the old unit down to rough opening, repair any water damage we find, and set the new door in a bed of sealant, not just caulk beads. The job includes haul-away of the old door and a final walkthrough where we open and close the door together before we leave.

Sliding Door Track and Roller Repair

When a door drags or jumps, the rollers are usually shot and the track is often grooved or bent at the threshold. We strip the door from its frame, replace both rollers rather than just the failed one, and dress or replace the track as needed. In Plantation, we regularly find track corrosion caused by irrigation overspray and pool splash. We’ll tell you if we see that pattern on your door and show you the fix.

Sliding Door Glass Package Upgrades

If the frame is sound but the glass is single-pane, fogged, or underperforming for hurricane season, we replace the glass package inside the existing frame. That means new insulated glass units, new glazing beads, and new weatherstripping at the interlock. You keep the door, you lose the seal failures and the July heat gain. We stock insulated units at Plantation-area suppliers so lead time stays short.

Impact Sliding Door Conversion

For homeowners who want a single sliding door that meets current Florida Building Code impact requirements. We measure for deflection, anchor the frame to the slab and header per code, and install the impact-rated door with the correct mullion and glass package. These are heavier doors than standard sliders. Our crews use suction cups and two-man sets rather than wrestling the panel by hand. The result is a door that glides on its track and carries a valid NOA for your insurance documentation.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors

We service Therma-Tru sliding patio doors regularly in Plantation. Most of our Therma-Tru work involves replacing worn bottom rails, upgrading glass packages, and correcting frames that were set slightly out of level. We’ve rebuilt enough of them to know the hinge and roller configurations by heart, and we keep common Therma-Tru replacement parts stocked in our work trucks, not back-ordered at a warehouse.

Mr-Glass units come through our queue often as well, especially in older Plantation neighborhoods like Jacaranda and Lauderdale West. With Mr-Glass sliders, we see track wear on doors that get heavy daily use, and we replace the rollers with factory-spec parts rather than generic hardware that binds within six months. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, call us. If we haven’t worked on that exact model before, we’ll research it before we show up, and we’ll show you the parts we’re installing before we put them in.

Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Right Now

• The door scrapes or grinds when you slide it. That sound is metal on metal. The roller bearings have failed and the wheel is dragging along the track, carving a groove that grows deeper with every open and close. Left alone, the door eventually stops moving without real effort, and the frame takes stress it wasn’t designed for.
• Daylight is visible at the corners or along the top rail. A sliding door should seal tight against the frame at the interlock and the top rail. Gaps mean the weatherstripping is compressed beyond recovery or the panel has dropped out of alignment. In Plantation’s summer, that gap is a direct path for humid outside air and every drop of rain in an afternoon storm.
• The handle or lock doesn’t engage without wiggling. A door that won’t lock cleanly is a security problem and an alignment problem at the same time. The fix usually involves truing the panel and replacing the latch hardware together, not just tightening a screw. We also check the foot bolt and interlock for wear while we’re in there.
• Condensation or fog appears between the glass panes. Failed seals are the most visible failure a sliding door can have, and it’s not reversible. You replace the IG unit or the whole door, not the seal. We inspect the frame condition at the same time, because a frame that’s sweating inside is often the reason the seal failed in the first place.
• The door is harder to open in July than in January. Plantation’s wet season causes aluminum frames to expand and vinyl to soften. A door that binds hard only in summer has a track, roller, or frame alignment issue that will get worse, not better, and is worth addressing before the frame corners start separating.

Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Call and describe the door. You’ll reach a live person at (772) 577-2915, not a voicemail tree. We ask about the door’s age, brand, and symptoms, then schedule a time that works for you. The estimate is free.
2. 2
   We measure and diagnose on site. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives on time. We measure the rough opening twice, check the track and rollers, and inspect the frame and seal integrity. We write out your options on paper, with manufacturer lines quoted side by side so you can see the difference in price and construction.
3. 3
   You choose the door and the terms. We don’t push a line, and we don’t upsell features you don’t need. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before any materials get ordered. You’ll see the durations stated, not summarized.
4. 4
   We install, haul away, and clean up. On installation day, the crew tears out the old door, preps the opening, and sets the new unit square and plumb. We test the door ten times before we call you over. Old door, old track, old screws, and packaging go with us.
5. 5
   Walkthrough and warranty registration. We open and close the door together, then hand you the warranty packet with both layers registered. If you find anything that’s not done right within 90 days, we come back and fix it. No paperwork fight, no arguing.
