AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Wellington
Sliding and patio door replacement in Wellington typically runs $2,800-$9,500 installed, depending on width, glass package, and whether your HOA requires a specific frame finish. Most projects take three to six weeks from first measurement to final inspection, with architectural review driving part of that calendar. We know Wellington’s neighborhoods, its HOAs, and the specific failure modes of doors installed in the 1980s and 90s CBS homes that define the village. Call (561) 708-6771 and a live person will answer. We schedule free estimates across Wellington, from Paddock Park to the equestrian corridor.
If your sliding door sticks, fogs between the panes, or lets daylight through the weatherstripping, this page tells you what to expect for repair or replacement in Wellington specifically. Not a generic Florida story. Wellington’s story: CBS construction, strict HOA review, and doors that have been fighting humidity and wind load for 30 years.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
TruePane has been doing window and door work the right way since Dale Kessler founded the company in 2008, building on more than years of family craft in the glazing trade. Wellington homeowners call us because we show up in uniform, measure every opening twice, and put our quotes side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying. No phone trees. No regional call center. A live person answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
We’ve worked in enough Wellington homes to know that a door that looks fine from the kitchen can have a rotted jamb hiding behind the aluminum. Paddock Park, Sugar Pond Manor, Palm Beach Little Ranches, the gated communities along South Shore and Greenbriar boulevards. Same story in most of them: original builders-grade sliders with pitted tracks and failed seals. We also know the HOA side. Each community maintains its own approved-product list for frame color, grid pattern, and glass tint, and we’ve cleared submittals for Olympia, Versailles, Isles at Wellington, Buena Vida, and a dozen others. That’s not something a contractor learns on his first job in the village.
Dispatch and scheduling for our Wellington work is coordinated from our South Florida office, but the crews serving you are the same background-checked, uniformed technicians who work across Palm Beach County every week. We stock common replacement parts locally, which keeps repair turnaround tight for Wellington homeowners.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Wellington
Patio Sliding Doors
A standard two-panel vinyl patio slider replacement in Wellington runs $2,800-$5,200. If you’re in a CBS ranch with a 6-foot opening, the job is usually a single-day install once the door arrives. The most common upgrade we quote is a PGT or Jeld-Wen impact-rated slider with a low-E argon fill. Wellington sits in Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region, so glass without a Miami-Dade or FBC approval doesn’t pass inspection. We pre-order doors to match your HOA’s color list so the install isn’t waiting on finish selection.
Panoramic Sliding Systems
Multi-panel panoramic sliders in Wellington run $8,000-$25,000 depending on panel count and glass. These are common on the larger homes along the equestrian corridor near Palm Beach Polo and Mallet Hill, where homeowners want a wall of glass that opens to a lanai or pool deck. The engineering matters here. Panel weight, track rating, and deflection limits all factor into whether the door stays square after five Florida summers. We spec fusion-welded frames and stainless steel rollers as standard on these jobs. Our Sliding & Patio Doors team measures every opening twice before ordering. You don’t want a $15,000 wall of glass delivered to an opening that’s out of square by three-quarters of an inch.
Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
Heavy-duty sliders in Wellington run $4,500-$11,000. These are doors built for wider openings, taller panels, or repeated daily use. If you have an oversized patio opening in a 1990s gated community home and the original door sags, a heavier extrusion and a reinforced track may be the fix. We’ve installed heavy-duty units with DP ratings of 70 and higher for Wellington homes in high-wind exposure zones. The track matters as much as the panel. In Wellington’s humidity, a cheap aluminum track pits and jams within a few years. We use stainless or anodized tracks rated for the panel weight.
Pocket & Barn Doors
Pocket and barn door installations in Wellington run $1,800-$4,500 for interior applications, more if you’re putting an impact-rated pocket slider on an exterior opening. Interior barn doors are common in Wellington’s remodeled CBS homes where a swinging door crowds a hallway. Exterior pocket sliders are trickier. The wall cavity has to be engineered to hold the pocket frame, and in older CBS construction that means furring out the wall or reframing a section. We do the structural work, not just the door hang.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and for Wellington work we most often quote PGT. PGT’s impact-rated sliders show up on many Palm Beach County HOA approved lists because the brand’s WinGuard line is well documented with the county. Jeld-Wen’s premium vinyl sliders give you a wide range of frame colors, which helps when your ARC demands a specific bronze or white finish. Simonton is a solid mid-price option for single-family CBS homes where the HOA list is less restrictive. We present these side by side on paper with line-item pricing so you see the real difference between them, not a salesman’s summary. Both warranty layers get registered in writing before our truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it applies to every Wellington job.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Tracks that pit and jam from humidity. Wellington’s year-round humidity above 70% corrodes older aluminum tracks. Rollers grind against pitted metal, the door sticks, and eventually it derails. We replace the track and rollers, or reframe the whole opening if the corrosion has spread into the jamb.
- Fogged glass from seal failure. If you see condensation between the panes of your slider, the insulated glass unit has failed. The argon is gone, the U-factor plummets, and the only real fix is glass replacement. This is extremely common on doors that are 20 or more years old, and Wellington has thousands of them.
- Weathered weatherstripping from UV exposure. Wellington’s UV index routinely exceeds 10. That breaks down the seal materials along the door’s perimeter within a few seasons. You’ll feel the draft and see daylight at the corners. New compression seals and an alignment check usually restore the fit.
- HOA mismatch discovered mid-project. A homeowner gets a door ordered, the ARC rejects the frame color, and the job stalls. We’ve seen this repeatedly. We clear the submittal before ordering so the door that arrives is the door the committee already approved. This is the single biggest avoidable delay in a Wellington sliding door project.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Wellington
Plan on two to four weeks for most Wellington HOAs, but some committees meet monthly and can take longer. The process is: we prepare a submittal packet with product spec sheets, color samples, and a site plan showing the opening. The ARC reviews it at their next meeting. Then Palm Beach County Building Division reviews the permit application, typically another two to three weeks. Total from first measurement to install-ready is usually four to seven weeks. We pre-order your door once the ARC gives a thumbs-up so we’re not waiting on manufacturing after the permit issues. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll give you a straight answer on your specific community’s timeline.
Often yes, but it requires a variance request through the ARC. The committee will want documentation showing the product meets the same aesthetic standards as their listed options, plus engineering data proving it meets FBC wind-load requirements for your zone. We’ve handled this for Wellington homeowners in several communities. We prepare the variance packet, attend the meeting if needed, and work with the HOA’s designated reviewer. If the variance is denied, we haven’t ordered the door, so you’re not stuck paying for a unit you can’t install. That’s part of The Keystone Standard: no homeowner gets burned by a process problem.
It depends on the screen’s condition and whether the new slider’s frame height matches the old one. Many original Wellington screens are corroded at the bottom rail from pool splash and humidity. If the mesh is intact and the frame is sound, we can re-hang it on the new track. If the new door’s frame is a different height, a new screen is the right move. Screen replacement for a standard 6-foot opening runs $350-$900. We’ll tell you honestly which path makes sense. A patched-up screen on a new $4,000 slider looks wrong and sags within a year.
Two reasons, both tied to Florida heat and humidity. The vinyl or aluminum frame expands in summer heat, reducing the running clearance on the track. And the humidity swells any wood-adjacent trim or subframe, which squeezes the track opening slightly. The fix is usually track cleaning and roller adjustment, possibly roller replacement if the bearings are worn. If the door has been sticking for a few seasons, the rollers are likely shot. A repair call in Wellington runs $250-$400 for typical roller and track work. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll get it sliding right.
Yes. Palm Beach County requires a permit for exterior door replacement, even same-opening work. The permit is how the county verifies the new door meets current FBC wind-load and impact requirements for Wellington’s location in the wind-borne debris region. If your HOA has an architectural review process, their approval comes first, then the county permit. Missing either one creates problems at resale and potentially with your insurance carrier. We handle both. We prepare the HOA submittal, file the county permit, and schedule inspections. You don’t chase paper. That’s how we’ve done every Wellington sliding door job.
