Westgate sits close enough to the coast that salt air works on door tracks and rollers year-round. We see it on nearly every service call. Powder-coated aluminum frames pit, rollers seize, and lock assemblies corrode from the inside out. Ed Winslow has lived and worked in Palm Beach County for over 15 years, and he’s built Winslow Windows & Doors around a simple idea: a neighbor you can call at 2 a.m. and someone will actually answer. We also serve homeowners with Palm Beach Sliding Glass & Patio Doors. No call centers. No ticket numbers. Just a live person, 24/7.

We install and service sliding glass doors, French patio doors, and multi-slide door systems from the brands homeowners actually want. Every job is backed by the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. Period. That’s not a warranty buried in fine print. It’s Ed’s name on the door, and on every job we do.

What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes

Sliding Glass Door Installation

Sliding glass door installation means removing your old unit, prepping the rough opening, and setting a new door that operates smoothly from day one. You need this when your current door has fogged glass, a bent track, or a frame that’s pulling away from the wall. Winslow handles the full scope: tear-out, disposal, weatherproofing, setting, trim, and haul-away.

We install Therma-Tru sliding patio doors for homeowners who want a door that glides on stainless steel rollers and seals tight against Westgate’s humid summers. If you’re nearby, ask about Sliding Glass & Patio Doors - Greenacres. Ed’s crew shims and squares every unit before the first screw goes in. A door that’s even slightly out of plumb will bind, leak, and wear out its rollers years early. We don’t let that happen.

Every installation includes new flashing and sealant around the perimeter. That’s the part big-box installers rush. We take our time because water intrusion around a patio door is the fastest way to rot out the subfloor in a Westgate home.

Sliding Glass Door Repair

Sliding door repair covers rollers, tracks, locks, handles, and weatherstripping. You need it when the door scrapes, sticks, or you can see daylight around the edges. We come out, diagnose the exact cause, and give you a written line-item quote before any work begins.

Most sliding door problems in Westgate trace back to either worn rollers or a track caked with salt and sand. A door that’s hard to open puts strain on the frame and can crack the glass at the corner. We replace rollers with sealed bearing units rated for coastal environments. We also clean and align tracks so the door moves with two fingers, not two hands and a hip.

If your door is beyond repair, we’ll tell you straight. We don’t patch a door that needs replacing. The free second opinion on any written estimate means you can get another contractor’s quote and bring it to us. We’ll go line by line.

Patio Door Installation

Patio door installation refers to hinged French doors or swinging patio doors, distinct from sliders. You need this when you want a wider opening, better security, or a classic look that a slider can’t match. Winslow installs hinged patio doors with the same weatherproofing standard as our sliders.

French patio doors in Westgate homes often replace a window or a worn slider. We frame the opening properly, install the new door, and trim both sides to match the existing style of the house. Whether it’s a single inswing or a double-door setup, the hinges, threshold, and weatherstripping get the same attention as the door slab itself.

We also install multi-slide patio doors for larger openings. These are big, heavy glass panels that stack and slide to open an entire wall. The engineering is more complex, but the same Done Right Promise applies. If the track isn’t perfectly level, a multi-slide door will never operate right. We level everything with a laser before setting a single panel.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Impact sliding glass doors are engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds and flying debris without shattering. You need them if you’re replacing an old door and want the strongest protection available in South Florida. Winslow is an authorized installer for PGT and CGI impact doors, both of which carry Miami-Dade County approval.

An impact-rated slider uses laminated glass and a reinforced frame. It’s heavier than standard glass, which means the rollers and track need to be rated for the extra weight. We don’t just swap the panel. We install the full system: frame, rollers, interlocks, and all hardware built to handle the load.

Many Westgate homeowners replace their sliding door with impact glass when they’re already doing window replacement. It makes sense to coordinate the work, get matching glass packages, and pull one permit for the whole scope. We handle permits and inspections so you don’t have to chase the building department.

Patio Door Glass Replacement

Patio door glass replacement means swapping the insulated glass unit inside your existing frame. You need it when the seal fails and the glass fogs permanently, or when a crack or chip compromises the pane. Winslow matches the original glass and installs it so the door looks and performs like new.

A fogged patio door glass unit can’t be cleaned from the outside. The seal between the two panes has failed, and moisture has gotten between them. We measure the exact thickness and tint of your existing glass, order the right IGU, and replace it without disturbing the rest of the door.

If your patio door is impact-rated, glass replacement must use laminated glass that matches the original rating. We source through our authorized brand channels so the new glass carries the same approvals as the original. Substituting standard glass in an impact frame voids the rating and leaves your home exposed in the next storm.

Patio Door Hardware Replacement

Hardware replacement covers handles, locks, hinges, and multi-point locking systems on patio doors. You need it when the handle is loose, the key won’t turn, or the deadbolt no longer aligns with the strike plate. We stock common hardware for the brands we install and can source nearly anything else within a few days.

A patio door lock in Westgate takes abuse from salt air and daily use. The tumblers corrode, the springs weaken, and one day the door won’t secure. That’s a real security issue. We replace the full lock assembly, not just the visible handle, so the internal mechanism works for years.

For sliding doors with foot locks and secondary locks, we check the alignment on every service call. A door that locks at the handle but not at the foot is only half-secured. Small adjustments make a big difference in how solid the door feels and how well it resists forced entry.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors

We service and install sliding glass and patio doors from the brands South Florida homeowners actually have in their homes. ViewLux is one we work with regularly. Their aluminum frames are common in Westgate condos and single-family homes, and we stock the replacement rollers and hardware that keep them gliding. We know the extrusion profiles, the glass thicknesses, and the weak points. When a ViewLux door starts dragging, we don’t guess. We’ve seen it before.

PGT and CGI are the two impact-door brands we install most often for coastal properties. These are heavy, laminated-glass doors with specific engineering requirements. We’re an authorized installer for both, which means we order direct and install to factory spec. A PGT impact slider isn’t a door you want a generalist fumbling with. The interlock, the threshold, the roller rating. All of it matters. Therma-Tru rounds out the lineup for hinged patio doors, and we’ve put in enough of them to know exactly how their adjustable hinges and weatherstripping should be set for a Westgate summer.

Whether you have a PGT slider, a Therma-Tru French door, or a no-name aluminum door from 1998, we can help. The diagnostic is the same. The standards are the same. And the Done Right Promise covers all of it.

Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Right Now

• Your door scrapes or grinds when you open it. The rollers are shot or the track is fouled. Continuing to force it bends the frame and eventually cracks the glass at the corners. A roller replacement is a quick, inexpensive fix compared to a full door replacement.
• You can see daylight around the closed door. The weatherstripping is compressed or the door is out of alignment. That gap leaks cooled air all summer and lets rain drive in during a storm. In Westgate, a small gap becomes a water problem fast.
• You have to lift the door to get it to move. That’s a sign the rollers have dropped or the frame has settled. Lifting a heavy glass door stresses the frame and wears the track unevenly. It only gets worse, and the eventual repair costs more than fixing it now.
• Condensation or fog sits between the glass panes permanently. The seal has failed. The door’s insulation value is gone, and the glass will never clear on its own. Glass replacement restores the look and the energy performance in one visit.
• The lock doesn’t engage or the handle feels loose. A patio door that won’t lock is an open invitation. The lock assembly or the alignment needs repair. We treat a broken patio door lock as a security call, not a minor fix, because that’s what it is.

Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Call and talk to a live person. You call (561) 468-6136 and someone answers. Not a machine. We ask what’s going on with your door, walk through what you’re seeing, and schedule a time that works for you. You’ll know who’s coming before the truck pulls up because every technician is background-checked and uniformed.
2. 2
   We diagnose on site. The technician arrives, inspects the door, and checks the frame, rollers, track, glass, and hardware. We use a laser level to check for settling and a moisture meter if we suspect water intrusion around the opening. You get a written line-item quote before any work begins. No vague “we’ll see when we get in there” pricing.
3. 3
   We present your options clearly. If the door can be repaired, we tell you exactly what it costs and how long the repair will last. If it needs replacing, we show you the numbers for standard and impact-rated options. You choose. We don’t push. Our free second opinion on any written estimate means you can compare us to anyone else in Westgate before deciding.
4. 4
   We do the work right the first time. Installation day: we protect your floors, remove the old door, prep the opening, and set the new one. Flashing, sealant, insulation, trim. Every step done to manufacturer spec and then some. We pull permits when required and schedule the inspection so there’s no open compliance issue.
5. 5
   We walk through the finished job with you. Before we leave, we open and close the door with you, lock it, unlock it, and show you the hardware and glass. If you’re not satisfied, we don’t leave. And if anything isn’t right after we’re gone, the Done Right Promise means we come back and fix it.
