If your slider is 20 years old, it's time
The tells are obvious: the door sticks, the rollers grind, condensation forms between the panes, you feel the draft from the couch. After 20 years, the frame seals fail and the rollers wear down — a full replacement pays back in comfort and resale within 3 years.
We replace almost exclusively with Andersen 200 and 400 series sliding patio doors. They slide smoother, seal tighter, and last longer than anything else in the mid-premium tier.
6-foot, 8-foot, even 12-foot triple-track
Standard 6-foot and 8-foot two-panel sliders install in one day. 12-foot triple-track and multi-panel sliding systems can take 1.5 days depending on header and structural prep. In all cases, the hole in your house does not sit open overnight — if we need a second day, we close the opening weather-tight before we leave.
