Fast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Palm Beach
Sliding and patio door replacement in Palm Beach typically runs $2,800 to $9,500 per opening depending on the system, and on this island the job almost never stops at the door itself. The salt air, the ARCOM approval process, and the condition of rough openings in 1920s masonry walls all shape what the work actually involves. TruePane Windows & Doors has handled enough of these openings across Palm Beach to know what we’ll find before we open the wall, and to quote the job so you don’t get surprised later. Call (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate from a crew that works this island every week.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
We’ve been replacing and servicing sliding doors on this barrier island long enough to know the difference between a door that needs new rollers and a door that needs a masonry rebuild behind it. Palm Beach homeowners call us because we don’t pretend every job is a simple swap. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s how every job works.
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008 on a rule that’s still on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. We’re a second-generation glazier’s shop, not a franchise operation running crews through a playbook. Our installers train as apprentices and work their way up, and most have walked through ARCOM hearings alongside Palm Beach homeowners, submitting impact-rated units that replicate original Mizner-era profiles. We know what the Town’s reviewers look for because we’ve sat through the reviews.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors team serves the entire island, from the Estate Section down to the South End, and we quote jobs in West Palm Beach, Greenacres, Royal Palm Beach, and Wellington the same way we quote Palm Beach itself. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You call, a person picks up. That’s it.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Palm Beach
Patio Sliding Doors
Standard patio sliders are the workhorse of Palm Beach homes, and they take a beating here from salt-laden air moving across the island from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal. We replace corroded tracks, stiff rollers, and failed insulated glass units, and when the frame is too far gone we quote impact-rated replacement systems that meet Florida’s Wind-Borne Debris Region requirements. Most standard patio slider replacements in Palm Beach run $2,800 to $5,500, and we handle the ARCOM paperwork when your property requires it.

Panoramic Sliding Systems
For homeowners opening a living room to the ocean or the Intracoastal, panoramic sliding systems create a wall of glass that stacks or pockets fully out of the way. On Palm Beach, these systems must be engineered for wind loads and salt exposure that mainland homes don’t face, which means upgraded stainless hardware and marine-grade frame finishes. Expect $7,500 to $18,000 per opening depending on panel count and glazing, and expect us to ask about your ARCOM status before we even quote. If the property is a contributing structure, the system has to look like it belongs on a 1920s estate, and we’ve done enough of these to know how to make a modern unit pass review.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
Heavy-duty sliders carry oversized glass panels, often floor-to-ceiling and wider than standard openings. These are common on Palm Beach’s newer construction and on estates where panoramic views matter more than anything else. The hardware has to be stainless, the track has to be reinforced, and the frame has to hold true under hurricane wind loads. We quote PGT and Jeld-Wen heavy-duty lines side by side so you see exactly what each manufacturer offers, and typical installations run $6,000 to $14,000 on this island.

Pocket & Barn Doors
Pocket sliding doors disappear into the wall cavity, and barn doors ride on exposed track. Both are popular in Palm Beach remodels where hallway space is tight or a homeowner wants that Mediterranean courtyard flow. The catch here is that pocket door hardware inside an exterior wall on this island corrodes fast, and retrofitting an existing pocket cavity is not a simple swap. We inspect the pocket cavity before quoting because if the framing or the waterproofing is compromised, that changes the scope. Pocket door replacements in Palm Beach typically run $2,200 to $6,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Palm Beach work we lean on the brands that hold up to this climate: PGT among them. PGT’s impact-rated units are engineered in Florida for Florida wind codes, and their fusion-welded frames stand up to salt exposure better than mechanically fastened alternatives. We stock common rollers, track hardware, and seal components locally so Palm Beach repairs don’t wait on a parts depot out of state. When we quote your job, you get the manufacturer lines side by side on paper, with warranty durations stated in writing, registered before we leave your driveway.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Corroded tracks and hardware. Salt-laden air off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal attacks sliding door tracks, rollers, and locking hardware year-round. Stiff operation and jamming within a few seasons are routine on this island, and the fix usually means replacing the track and hardware with stainless or marine-grade components, not just lubricating what’s already failing.
- Hidden frame rot behind intact paint. Original steel casement patio doors on Mizner-era estates corrode from the inside out. The paint looks fine, the frame underneath is structurally gone. We’ve found this on Seabreeze Avenue work more than once, and it almost always means rebuilding the masonry rough opening before a new unit can be set.
- Failed insulated glass seals. Salt haze etches glass and moisture gets into failed seals, leaving patio doors fogged years earlier than the same unit inland. The insulation value drops, and the door looks tired. Replacement glass is a real repair but on Palm Beach we usually recommend checking the frame condition at the same time because if the frame is going, new glass is a temporary fix.
- ARCOM compliance issues. Homeowners on contributing structures who swap a slider without Town approval end up with a stop-work order and a door that doesn’t match the original profile. We handle the ARCOM submission, and we’ve learned what reviewers want to see. Skipping this step on Palm Beach is not a shortcut; it’s a problem that costs more later.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach, FL
Here’s what our crews typically see on Palm Beach island. A standard patio sliding door replacement runs $2,800 to $5,500. A pocket door runs $2,200 to $6,000. Heavy-duty sliders run $6,000 to $14,000. Panoramic systems run $7,500 to $18,000. Rough-opening rebuilds, ARCOM submissions, and impact glazing add to the total, and on older Palm Beach homes the rough-opening rebuild is the most common added line item. Salt corrosion hides behind intact paint, and when we open the wall, sometimes the masonry surround has to be rebuilt before a code-compliant unit can go in. We write allowances into the contract so you know the worst case before we start, and we price and get written approval on any surprise before we touch it. Call (754) 339-0784 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Palm Beach
Yes, if your property is a contributing structure or designated landmark, the Town of Palm Beach requires Architectural Commission (ARCOM) review before exterior doors can be replaced. The review ensures the new unit replicates the original profile, including arched openings and casement details from the 1920s Mediterranean Revival era. We handle the ARCOM submission for you, and we’ve sat through enough reviews to know what gets approved and what gets sent back. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll check your property’s status before you buy anything.
Salt-laden air from both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal is corroding the track, rollers, or hardware from the inside out. The damage is hidden behind intact paint and visible surfaces, and by the time the door is stiff, the corrosion has usually advanced into the frame or track assembly. This island’s dual-water exposure roughly doubles the corrosion timeline compared to homes inland in West Palm Beach. We’ll inspect the track and hardware, tell you what’s salvageable and what needs replacement, and give you a written quote. Call (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate.
Most 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes on Palm Beach cannot take a standard off-the-shelf impact slider without modification. The rough openings are not dimensionally standard, many have arched tops, and ARCOM requires the replacement to match the original profile. That usually means custom sizing, matching frame profiles, and often rebuilding the masonry rough opening before the new unit can be set. We quote these jobs with those realities built in, not as a surprise later. Call (754) 339-0784 and we’ll measure the opening and give you a real number.
Yes. Palm Beach falls within Florida’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, so replacement sliding doors must be impact-rated or protected by compliant shuttering under the Florida Building Code. They also must meet current energy code requirements for the climate zone. Both compliance layers are part of the permitting process, and we handle that end to end. Call (754) 339-0784 to talk through which manufacturer lines meet both standards for your specific opening.
The short answer is we write it into the contract as an allowance before we start, and nothing gets spent without your written approval. On Seabreeze Avenue, we replaced a corroded original steel casement patio door with an impact-rated Andersen unit and found the masonry rough opening was structurally gone behind intact paint. We rebuilt the surround, flashed the jamb with marine-grade flashing tape, and set a fusion-welded frame to pass ARCOM review. The homeowner had no clue the frame was failing until we opened the wall. That kind of discovery is routine on Palm Beach island. We price it in writing, you approve it in writing, and there are no surprise line items on the bill. Call (754) 339-0784 for a free estimate that accounts for the worst case, not just the best case.
