Our Sliding & Patio Doors team has replaced hundreds of original aluminum sliders in Delray Beach’s 1960s and 70s CBS tract homes, from Chatelaine to Pines of Delray to the Lake Ida corridor.

Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
We’ve built our reputation in Delray Beach one tight side yard at a time. A lot of the homes we work on sit on zero-lot-line parcels where the neighbor’s wall is six feet from the slider being replaced. We stage materials on the street, protect landscaping with plywood and drop cloths, and keep noise inside the hours the city actually allows. The crew that shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and led by someone who has done this specific job hundreds of times, not a trainee reading a script.
Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still governs every install: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. What that means for a Delray Beach homeowner is simple. We measure every opening twice. We register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. And we back the whole thing with a Done Right Promise. If something is not right, we make it right. No paperwork fight, no argument about who’s responsible.
We answer the phone with a live person 24 hours a day. That matters when you’re a snowbird calling from Connecticut in October trying to schedule a slider replacement before you fly down for Thanksgiving. You’ll talk to a human who knows Delray Beach permitting, not a call center reading a flowchart.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Delray Beach
We install, replace, and service the full range of sliding and patio door systems across Sliding & Patio Doors in Delray Beach. Four jobs dominate the work we do here, and each one carries its own local wrinkles.
Patio Sliding Doors
The standard two- or three-panel patio slider is the workhorse of Delray Beach’s 1960s and 70s houses and a core part of our Custom Windows & Doors - Delray Beach offerings. Most of the originals are single-pane aluminum with U-factors around 1.2, which means your air conditioner is effectively leaking through the glass all summer. We replace them with impact-rated vinyl or marine-grade aluminum units using insulated low-E glass, narrowing the U-factor to 0.28 or better. In the Lake Ida area and Chatelaine, where original sliders have been through forty or fifty hurricane seasons, this is usually the single best dollar-for-dollar upgrade a homeowner can make to the back of the house.

Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
When you’re opening a 12- or 16-foot wall to the patio, standard rollers and tracks will not hold up. Heavy-duty sliders use reinforced stainless steel tracks, ball-bearing carriages, and multi-point locking hardware rated for spans that wide. We specify these often in Delray Beach because so many mid-century CBS homes have generous covered patios and pool decks that deserve a wide clear opening, not two narrow sliders mulled together. The price runs higher than a standard slider, but the difference in how it operates ten years from now is the whole point.

Pocket & Barn Doors
Interior sliding doors solve a specific Delray Beach problem: rooms where a swinging door would eat floor space that the house does not have. We install pocket door kits inside existing walls, which works well in the medium-sized bedrooms common to 1970s CBS floor plans, and we do exterior-grade barn door systems for screened porches and covered patios in neighborhoods like Pines of Delray. Both come in impact-rated configurations when the opening is on the exterior envelope and inside the wind-borne debris zone.

Screen Door Installation
Delray Beach’s bug season runs long, and a good screen slider is not an afterthought. We build and install custom screen doors sized to your existing slider track, using fiberglass mesh that resists the salt air along the A1A corridor far better than aluminum screen. If your current screen door hangs up or the mesh is torn along the edges from years of pets and grandkids, we’ll measure and build a replacement the same day in most cases.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We’re an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, and on Window Installation - Delray Beach jobs we most often specify. The brand decision matters more in this city than in most places. A salt-air home within a mile of the Atlantic needs marine-grade aluminum or premium vinyl, not standard builder-grade aluminum that will start pitting in four years. A historic-district property near Old School Square needs a manufacturer that can match original muntin profiles without sacrificing the impact rating Palm Beach County requires. We quote brands side by side on paper so you can see exactly what each product line gives you for the money, and our local parts stock means faster turnaround on repairs and adjustments for the brands we service most in Delray Beach.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Salt-air corrosion killing tracks and rollers. East Delray homes within a mile of A1A have aluminum sliders whose tracks and roller housings oxidize fast. The door gets harder and harder to move until the rollers seize entirely. We see this on roughly a third of the coastal jobs we quote in Delray Beach.
- Fogged seals on original 1960s and 70s sliders. The dual-pane units in some CBS homes from this era used early seal technology that fails after thirty or forty years. When moisture gets between the panes, the glass is done. That’s a replacement, not a repair.
- Historic district mismatches that fail final inspection. In the overlay districts around Old School Square and Nassau Park, homeowners sometimes install a slider that meets the wind code but doesn’t match the muntin profile of the original wood or steel window. The Historic Preservation Board catches it at final inspection and the door has to be torn out and reordered. That’s a two-month delay we prevent by checking the board’s requirements before we order anything.
- Zero-lot-line access problems. When a slider is on a side wall eight feet from the neighbor’s house, getting the old unit out and the new unit in requires planning. We stage on the street, walk the new door through your house or over the roof depending on access, and protect the neighbor’s property as if it were our own.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Delray Beach, FL
Here is what Delray Beach homeowners should expect to pay for sliding door work in this market. A standard 6-foot impact-rated vinyl patio slider runs $2,800-$4,800 installed, with the spread driven by frame finish, glass package, and whether the opening needs new framing. A 4-panel panoramic system runs $9,000-$16,000, and a true 16-foot multi-slide heavy-duty system runs $14,000-$22,000. Screen door replacement runs $200-$550. Historic district work adds permitting and board review time, which we factor into the quote up front. Every estimate is free, written, and line-itemed. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll walk the job with you in person.
| Job Type | Delray Beach Market Range |
|---|---|
| Standard 6-ft impact patio slider (vinyl) | $2,800 - $4,800 |
| Standard 6-ft impact patio slider (marine-grade aluminum) | $3,500 - $5,500 |
| 4-panel panoramic sliding system | $9,000 - $16,000 |
| 16-ft heavy-duty multi-slide | $14,000 - $22,000 |
| Screen door replacement | $200 - $550 |
What drives the price in Delray Beach more than anything is the opening’s proximity to the coast. Within a mile of A1A, we quote marine-grade finishes as the baseline because standard aluminum fails too fast to be a square deal. Inland off Military Trail, a good vinyl slider is usually the right call. Either way, the number we quote is the number on the bill. If the job changes scope mid-install, we stop and put the new price in writing before we continue.

The Delray Beach Angle: Historic Overlays, Coastal Corrosion, and Zero-Lot-Line Work
Delray Beach has one of Palm Beach County’s highest concentrations of seasonal residents who leave homes unoccupied from roughly May through November, which is also the heart of hurricane season. That’s why impact-rated sliders are the default recommendation here over accordion shutters or panels that need someone physically present to deploy them. But the city throws two complications at that simple decision. First, the historic overlay districts around Old School Square and Nassau Park require sliding door replacements to match the original muntin pattern and appearance while still meeting Palm Beach County’s 160+ mph wind-borne debris standards. A standard impact slider from a big-box brand will not pass the Historic Preservation Board’s review. You need a product that satisfies both the board’s aesthetic rules and the structural code simultaneously, and that short list of approved products adds two to six weeks to the permitting timeline. We know which products qualify before we quote, because we’ve done this dance with the board on dozens of jobs.
Second, a large share of Delray Beach’s housing stock sits on zero-lot-line lots. When the slider you’re replacing is on a side wall eight feet from the neighbor’s stucco, access changes everything. We stage materials on the street or in the driveway, not on the neighbor’s side yard. We walk the new door through the house when we can, over the roof when we can’t. And we notify the abutting homeowner before we start, because a quiet, professional crew on a tight site keeps everyone civil. That’s how we run every Delray Beach job, and it’s why so much of our work here comes from neighbors who watched us work next door.
We recently replaced a corroded aluminum slider in a 1970s CBS home in the Lake Ida area, where salt-air exposure had seized the original track and fogged both panes. The homeowner had been fighting that door for five years, propping it closed with a dowel in the track. Our crew pulled the original frame, reframed the rough opening to square, and installed a marine-grade impact-rated vinyl slider with argon-filled low-E insulated glass units, flashing tape at the sill and a fusion-welded frame to meet code. The whole job happened inside a tight side yard with four feet of clearance, and we scheduled it around the owner’s snowbird return so someone was home to sign off. That’s the standard work looks like in Delray Beach: tight site, clear plan, clean result.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Delray Beach
Yes. Any exterior door replacement within Delray Beach’s historic overlay districts requires review by the Historic Preservation Board, and the new slider must match the original muntin profile and general appearance while still meeting Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris standards. We handle the board submission for you and spec products that pass both reviews. Call (561) 708-6771 before you order anything, and we’ll tell you which sliders are approvable for your specific street.
You can have the work done while you’re away, and many of our seasonal clients schedule replacements for the summer months when their Delray Beach home sits empty. You’ll need to designate someone to provide access or use a lockbox we coordinate with you. We document everything with photos, register both warranty layers in writing, and email you the paperwork before the truck leaves. The key recommendation for any snowbird: install impact-rated sliders, not shutters you’d have to deploy from another state. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll coordinate the schedule around your travel dates.
The most common cause in east Delray Beach is salt-air corrosion. Aluminum roller housings and tracks oxidize far faster within a mile of the Atlantic, and once the rollers pit, the door grinds instead of glides. We replace the track and rollers with corrosion-resistant stainless steel and occasionally convert the door to a marine-grade frame if the corrosion has spread. The fix is usually one visit, and the result is a slider that operates with one hand instead of two. Call (561) 708-6771 and we’ll take a look.
Sometimes, but not usually. If the original frame is in good condition and the board approves a panel-only replacement that matches the muntin pattern, we can do it. But most Delray Beach sliders from the 1960s and 70s have frames that are too far gone for a panel swap to make sense. The board’s rules hinge on appearance, not on whether the frame is original, so a full replacement with the correct profile often passes more cleanly than a patch job. We’ll assess your specific opening and tell you which route is faster and cheaper before you commit.
It changes staging, access, and timing. We stage materials on the street or in your driveway. We walk the new slider through your home’s interior or over the roof when the side yard is too tight. And we notify your abutting neighbor before we start, because on a zero-lot-line lot the crew works within a few feet of their wall. None of this adds significant cost unless the access is unusually difficult, and we’ll confirm the approach during our free estimate. Call (561) 708-6771 to schedule a walkthrough.
