What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes
Sliding doors are not a one-size-fits-all product, especially in Coral Gables where many homes were built between the 1920s and 1980s with non-standard openings. We service and install every type of sliding and patio door you will find in this area, from original aluminum frames in Old Cutler Bay estates to modern impact-rated systems in Gables Estates. Here is what we handle.
Sliding Glass Door Repair
When a sliding door starts grinding, sticking, or falling off its track, the issue is almost always the rollers, the track, or both. In Coral Gables, coastal salt air accelerates corrosion on older steel rollers, and we regularly replace them with marine-grade stainless components that hold up far longer. We also regrind or replace bent aluminum tracks, adjust door alignment, and lubricate with a dry silicone that does not attract sand and grit the way petroleum-based products do. Most repairs are done same-day, with the parts in the truck before we knock on your door.

Sliding Glass Door Replacement
When a door frame is twisted, the glass is fogged between the panes, or the door is simply decades old and leaking conditioned air, replacement is the square deal. We measure every opening twice, then quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, including CGI, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, so you see exactly what you are buying. Coral Gables code requires impact-rated glass on many openings, and we will tell you plainly if your project needs it, pull the permit, and pass the inspection. The new door is set square, plumb, and true, with both warranty layers registered in writing before our truck leaves the driveway.

Patio Door Installation
French-style patio doors, multi-slide systems, and lift-and-slide units all fall under this category, and each one demands a different approach to flashing, leveling, and sealing. In Coral Gables, we deal with older masonry walls and stucco openings that are rarely square, so we shim to plumb rather than force the frame. We install the threshold with a positive slope for drainage, tape the rough opening, and set the door so it glides without lifting or dragging. Uniformed, background-checked technicians do the work, and the same crew that installs the door cleans up when they are done.

Sliding Door Glass Replacement
A cracked or shattered pane in a sliding door is a safety issue first and a cosmetic issue second. We remove the broken glass, inspect the frame and track for hidden damage, and cut the replacement to the exact size of the opening, not a generic approximation. For impact-rated doors, we replace the laminated glass with the correct interlayer and sealant system so the door keeps its windstorm rating. Tempered, laminated, low-E, tinted, and obscure glass are all available, and we will tell you what the original manufacturer specified so the repair does not void a warranty.

Sliding Door Track and Roller Replacement
The track and rollers are the workhorses of any sliding door, and in Coral Gables they fail faster than anywhere else in South Florida because of the combination of salt air, humidity, and fine coral dust. We replace worn rollers with sealed bearing units that are rated for coastal environments, and we replace or resurface tracks that have been gouged by years of grinding metal. The door should glide with one hand when we are finished, and we test it five times before we call the job done. If it takes two hands to open your door, the track is telling you something.

Sliding Door Screen Replacement and Repair
Patio door screens in Coral Gables take a beating from UV exposure, pets, and kids, and a sagging or torn screen is not just an eyesore, it is an open invitation to mosquitoes. We build replacement screens with a heavier-duty spline and frame than the big-box versions, sized to your exact opening. Our screens are built to slide easily, stay square in the frame, and hold up to daily use. We also repair bent screen frames, replace broken rollers in screen doors, and can upgrade to pet-resistant mesh if your four-legged family member has been testing the limits.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and sliding doors are one of our deepest benches. We service and install CGI impact sliding doors on a regular basis, including their multi-point locking systems and heavy-duty stainless steel roller assemblies. If a CGI door is out of square or the interlock is not engaging, we know how to correct it without voiding the windstorm certification.
We also work extensively with ES Windows and ECO Window Systems. ES Windows builds some of the strongest impact doors on the market, and we have installed their multi-slide units in waterfront Coral Gables homes where the door spans 20 feet or more. ECO Window Systems offers a strong value for impact-rated sliders, and we install and service their lines with the same care we give to the premium brands. If you have a CWS door, or any other make, we can help with that too. If we cannot get original parts, we will tell you straight and offer a square alternative.
Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Right Now
- The door takes two hands to open or close. This means the rollers are worn, the track is bent, or the frame has settled. In Coral Gables, humidity can swell wood frames and make the problem worse in summer. If you are compensating with muscle, the track is getting damaged every time you force it.
- You can see daylight or feel air passing around the closed door. A sliding door that does not seal is leaking conditioned air, which shows up directly on your Florida Power & Light bill. The interlock may be worn, the weatherstripping may be shot, or the frame may have moved out of square. A door that leaks air is also a door that leaks wind-driven rain during a storm.
- Condensation appears between the glass panes. This is a failed seal, and no amount of wiping will fix it. Once moisture is between the panes, the glass has lost its insulating value and the fog will only spread. Glass replacement is the fix, and TruePane replaces failed insulated units regularly in Coral Gables homes.
- The door grinds or squeals when it moves. That sound is metal on metal, and it means the rollers are no longer rolling. Every slide is wearing a flat spot into the track, and the repair gets more expensive the longer you wait. We can tell you over the phone whether it sounds like a roller or a track issue, but we will know for sure when we see it.
- The lock does not engage properly, or the door lifts out of the track. A sliding door that cannot be secured is a security problem, not just a nuisance. If the latch does not catch, or if the door can be lifted out of the frame, you do not have a working lock. We fix or replace sliding door locks, add secondary security locks where they make sense, and make sure the door cannot be lifted from outside.
Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step
- 1
You call, a live person answers. No phone tree, no callback form, no regional call center. When you call TruePane at (954) 507-3613, a member of our local team picks up and schedules your free estimate at a time that works for you. We arrive when we say we will.
- 2
We measure and diagnose on site. Our technician measures the opening twice, checks for level and plumb, and examines the track, rollers, frame, glass, and lock. You will get a straight diagnosis on paper, with the brand lines quoted side by side so you can compare what you are buying.
- 3
We quote a fixed price and get your approval. No allowance items, no “we will see when we open it up” language. The price we quote is the price you pay, period. You approve the work before a single part is ordered, and we never start a job without your signature on a written estimate.
- 4
We do the work right, most of it in one visit. For repairs, the parts are in the truck and the job is usually done the same day. For replacements, we schedule the install, pull the permit if required, protect your floors, and work clean. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before we leave.
- 5
We walk the job with you and stand behind it. Before we call the job finished, we open and close the door with you, lock it, unlock it, and show you exactly what was done. If anything is not right, we make it right. The Done Right Promise means exactly that: done right, or we fix it, no arguing.
How Much Does Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Cost in Coral Gables?
Sliding glass door replacement in Coral Gables typically runs $2,800-$8,500 installed, depending on the size of the opening, the glass package, and whether the door needs to meet current impact code. A standard 6-foot sliding patio door with insulated glass will land on the lower end of that range. A 12-foot multi-slide impact door with laminated glass from ES Windows or CGI will land at the top. Repair work is far less: a common roller and track replacement runs $180-$450, a new lock set runs $75-$250, and a fogged glass replacement runs $350-$900 depending on the glass type.
What affects the price is straightforward: the size of the opening, the glass package, whether the frame needs to be rebuilt or resurfaced, and whether permits and inspections are required. Coastal Coral Gables homes, especially those east of Old Cutler Road, will almost always require impact-rated glass, which costs more than standard insulated glass but is not optional under current Florida Building Code. Overpaying happens when a contractor quotes one brand and installs another, or when low-quality rollers and hardware are used to shave a few dollars off the bid. TruePane quotes manufacturer lines side by side on paper, uses factory parts, and shows you the warranty registration before we leave. Our free estimate includes exact measurements, a written scope of work, and a fixed price with no allowances. Call (954) 507-3613 to schedule yours.
