AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Sunrise
We replace and install sliding and patio doors in Sunrise, FL, and we know exactly what Broward County inspectors look for. This city sits inside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which means your new door needs a specific product approval before the permit is even pulled. Call (863) 264-3649 and you’ll get a live person who can walk you through what’s actually required, then schedule a free estimate at your home.
TruePane has worked on houses from Sunrise Golf Village to Springtree, and we understand the particular headaches these 1960s and 1970s CBS homes bring. Original aluminum sliders, fogged glass, corroded tracks, and a codebook that’s stricter than what cities fifteen minutes north enforce. Our Sliding & Patio Doors team knows what passes inspection here because we’ve done it hundreds of times.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Sunrise’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, but our crews have been setting glass in South Florida homes since 2008. We’re not a franchise. We train our own installers, and the people who show up at your door are background-checked, uniformed, and paid to do the job right, not to rush to the next one. The whiteboard in our shop still has Dale’s rule on it: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
We’re an authorized installer for a dozen manufacturer lines, including, PGT, and CGI. That matters in Sunrise because we can quote you side by side on paper: one manufacturer against another, the product approval numbers listed, the warranty durations written out. No guessing. Our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard mean both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. If something’s not right within 90 days, we come back and fix it. No paperwork fight.
Sunrise homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: they’d rather pay once and know the door will still track smoothly in July. We get it. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you call from Sunrise on a Tuesday morning or a Saturday afternoon, you’re talking to someone who can help, not a voicemail tree.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Sunrise
Patio Sliding Doors
A standard two-panel or three-panel patio slider in a Sunrise home typically runs $2,800 to $6,200 installed, depending on size and whether you’re doing a full-frame tear-out. Most of the homes here need the tear-out. The original 1970s aluminum frame isn’t worth saving, and it won’t meet HVHZ requirements anyway. We measure every opening twice, then quote you an impact-rated replacement that carries the right Florida Product Approval and NOA documentation.
Panoramic Sliding Systems
Multi-panel panoramic systems open up a whole wall of glass, and in Sunrise they’re increasingly common in the larger Springtree properties and updated mid-century homes off University Drive. These systems typically run $9,000 to $18,000 for a three-to-four-panel setup. The rails and rollers on a big panoramic system take real abuse in our climate, so we spec marine-grade hardware so salt air doesn’t chew through the tracks in eight years.
Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
Heavy-duty sliders, especially the impact-rated models built for Broward County’s wind-load requirements, typically run $4,500 to $9,500 installed in Sunrise. These aren’t off-the-shelf units. They’re engineered for the design pressures this county enforces, and the difference between a compliant heavy-duty slider and a “heavy-looking” one comes down to the NOA sticker and the structural frame. We only install units Broward inspectors will pass on the first trip.
Pocket & Barn Doors
Pocket and barn doors solve a real problem in Sunrise homes: floor space. Many of these 1960s floor plans are tight, and a swinging door eats up room a sliding pocket door gives back. Expect $1,800 to $4,200 for a quality pocket door installation, more if we’re reframing the opening in a concrete block wall. These projects require careful rough-in work, and we coordinate the permit and inspection so you’re not wondering what’s next.
Screen Door Installation
Screen doors in Sunrise take a beating. Between the UV, the salt, and the daily use, the average screen slider lasts five to seven years before the mesh sags or the frame warps. We install screen doors on both new and existing openings, with pricing generally between $450 and $1,100 depending on size and frame material. We’ll match the screen to the existing sliding door and make sure the rollers don’t bind.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We’re an authorized installer for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows, among others. PGT and CGI both manufacture impact-rated sliding doors that carry Miami-Dade NOA listings, which is exactly what Sunrise and unincorporated Broward County require. When you work with us, we stock the proprietary rollers, locks, and weatherstripping for these brands locally, which means faster turnaround when a part does fail. No three-week wait for a replacement track from a regional distributor.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Fogged glass from failed seals. The insulated glass unit in a 1970s or 1980s slider breaks down after 20-30 years in our sun. Once the seal fails, the argon leaks out and the glass fogs permanently. You can’t clean it from the inside. The fix is a new insulated unit or a full door replacement, and in Sunrise the replacement usually makes more sense.
- Corroded tracks and rollers. Salt-laden Atlantic air gets into the track channel and eats the aluminum rollers. We see sliders in Sunrise where the door weighs 200 pounds and the rollers are basically oval. Binding, grinding, sagging. If the frame is still sound, we can replace rollers and realign. If the frame’s corroded through, you’re looking at replacement.
- Permit blockers on older doors. If you bought a house with a pre-1994 non-impact slider, that door is a time bomb at inspection. Broward County will fail the rough inspection if the unit doesn’t carry an explicit HVHZ or Miami-Dade NOA designation. We’ve had to re-order doors for homeowners who bought units from out-of-county installers that only had a generic Florida Product Approval.
- Binding from heat expansion. Direct afternoon sun on a west-facing Sunrise patio door can cause the frame to expand and bind. If the door sticks every day from 3 to 6 p.m., the install wasn’t done with proper thermal clearance. We set doors with the right expansion gaps so they track year-round, not just in January.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Sunrise
Broward County requires any permitted sliding glass door replacement in Sunrise to carry a Florida Product Approval with an explicit HVHZ or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance designation. A generic Florida Product Approval without the HVHZ or NOA mark will fail inspection. This is the single most common paperwork problem we see with doors ordered by out-of-county contractors. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll verify the product approval on any door before you buy it.
Yes. If the door is part of a permitted project, a non-impact patio slider that does not carry the required HVHZ or Miami-Dade NOA designation will fail the rough or final inspection. Broward County inspectors enforce this strictly, and re-orders cost weeks. The workaround is to make sure the door is approved before the permit is pulled. That’s part of our standard quote.
It can reduce your premium or prevent a surcharge. Many Florida insurers now require documented impact protection on all openings, including sliding doors, or they add a windstorm surcharge or worse, decline to renew. After we install, we provide the paperwork showing the NOA and product approval, which you can send to your carrier. Call (863) 264-3649 for a free estimate; we’ll walk you through what your policy needs.
Technically you can replace the insulated glass unit, but in most Sunrise homes with the original 1980s aluminum frame, it’s a poor investment. The frame isn’t impact-rated, the track is likely corroded, and the door still won’t pass a county inspection. Full-frame replacement with an impact-rated unit is usually the better long-term call. We’ll give you an honest assessment and price for both options.
The insulated glass seal has failed. Over 20 to 30 years, the sealant around the glass perimeter breaks down in our heat and humidity, and once moisture gets between the panes, the argon escapes and the glass fogs permanently. You can’t fix it by cleaning. The fix is a new insulated unit or a full door replacement. Call (863) 264-3649 and we’ll tell you which one makes sense for your door.
If your sliding door is binding, fogging, or failing inspection in Sunrise, we’ll make it right. Call (863) 264-3649 to schedule your free estimate. A live person answers, day or night.
