AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Boca Raton
Sliding and patio door replacement in Boca Raton typically runs $2,800-$6,500 for a standard opening, with impact-rated units starting around $4,200 installed. Most projects take 4-8 weeks from signed contract to installation day, though that timeline is driven by Boca Raton’s dual-approval process - HOA architectural review first, then the City of Boca Raton building permit - not by crew availability. Call (754) 254-7558 and we’ll walk you through exactly where your job sits in that queue.
We serve Boca Raton from our Miami (South FL) office, with crews running daily routes through the city. Whether you’re in a 1980s CBS stucco tract off Military Trail or a Mediterranean Revival home along Royal Palm Way, we measure once, quote in writing, and install to the same spec we documented on the survey. That’s Haven Clause 1: the measurement and the quote are the same document. No change orders, no verbal allowances, no surprises.
Why Sightline Windows & Doors Margate Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
We’ve installed sliding and patio doors in Boca Raton since 2012, and the patterns are consistent. The aluminum-framed sliders in homes built between 1970 and 1995 - which is most of the city’s housing stock - are now 30 to 50 years old. Salt air off the Intracoastal has pitted the frames. Rollers have seized. Tracks have gunked up with oxidized aluminum. Homeowners call us because the panel drags, or because they can’t lock it, or because their insurance inspector flagged it.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors in Boca Raton crews know the local conditions. They know that a home within a mile of the Atlantic or the Intracoastal needs full frame-and-sash replacement, not reglazing. They know that CBS walls are rarely square, and that the original thin aluminum jamb can’t carry a modern impact-rated unit without header reinforcement. They know to document every step for the wind mitigation credit.
Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and identified by license number before arrival - Haven Clause 3, Verified Crews. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. And every job leaves a documented photo record, because Haven Clause 4 says Evidence on Every Job.
The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every contract, not offered as a courtesy. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s written into the Haven Standard, not a verbal assurance.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Boca Raton
Patio Doors
New patio door installation in Boca Raton starts with a measured survey you keep. We specify the unit by what the opening requires - U-factor, SHGC, design pressure rating - not by what we have in stock. For homes in master-planned communities like Boca West or Woodfield Country Club, we also flag the ARB submittal timeline so you’re not waiting on permits we can’t control.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Boca Raton sits in Palm Beach County with adopted wind-speed design requirements around 160-170 mph. That means impact-rated or protected openings. Our impact sliding glass doors use laminated glass interlayers and reinforced frames from manufacturers like PGT and ES Windows. We specify by performance tier and price range. The installed cost for a standard 6-foot impact slider in Boca Raton typically runs $4,200-$5,800. For coastal properties near the Intracoastal, we budget for full frame replacement - the salt corrosion makes anything less a temporary fix.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
This is where the real work shows up. A 1980s CBS stucco home off Royal Palm Way still had its original aluminum-framed sliding glass door, and salt-laden air off the Intracoastal had pitted the frame and seized the rollers. We removed it, found undersized header framing and failed waterproofing, wrote the allowance into the contract, and installed a PGT impact sliding glass door with laminated glass interlayer, then documented the install for the owner’s wind mitigation credit. The homeowner also got HOA sign-off from their community’s ARB before we submitted to the City of Boca Raton building department.
That’s the standard scope on older Boca Raton homes. The original opening is rarely plumb. The waterproofing has failed at the sill. And once the permit is pulled, the inspector will enforce current Florida Building Code - which means the header, the flashing, and the attachment all get upgraded. We price this in writing before we start, not after we find it.
Impact French Patio Doors
For Mediterranean Revival-influenced homes along the Intracoastal and near Royal Palm Way, we install impact French patio doors with custom sizing for arched and radius-top openings. These are not off-the-shelf stock. We measure the sightline, specify the glazing, and submit manufacturer spec sheets to the ARB as part of the approval package. Lead times run longer, but the alternative is a unit that doesn’t fit or doesn’t match the elevation.
Screen Door Installation
Screen doors for sliding and patio units in Boca Raton need corrosion-resistant hardware - standard steel rollers and latches fail within two years of salt exposure. We specify marine-grade components and document the hardware package in the written scope.

We keep local parts inventory for hardware and roller replacements, so service calls on installed units don’t wait on shipping.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Salt-corroded aluminum frames seize within a mile of the Intracoastal. The panel drags. The track gunks up with oxidized aluminum. Reglazing won’t fix it - full frame-and-sash replacement is the only durable scope on coastal Boca Raton homes.
- CBS walls from 1970-1995 master-planned builds have rough openings that are rarely square or plumb. The original aluminum slider’s thin jamb often can’t carry the weight of a new impact-rated unit without new framing and header reinforcement.
- Failed waterproofing at the sill and jamb is uncovered once the old door comes out. The permit-triggered code upgrades (wind-load, design pressure) mean the opening has to be rebuilt to current Florida Building Code, not just swapped - a cost most Boca Raton homeowners don’t see in the initial bid.
- HOA ARB requirements delay projects by weeks if not handled upfront. Communities like Boca West’s ARB require elevation drawings and manufacturer spec sheets before they’ll schedule a review, and the City of Boca Raton building department won’t accept a permit application without signed ARB approval for deed-restricted properties.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Boca Raton
Most Boca Raton replacements require dual approval: your HOA’s architectural review board first, then the City of Boca Raton building department. ARBs in communities like Boca West or Broken Sound have their own submittal requirements and review calendars, and the city won’t accept a permit application without signed ARB approval. That combined queue typically runs 4-8 weeks before a single slider comes out. Delray Beach and Boynton Beach have far lower HOA density, so most jobs go straight to municipal permitting. Call (754) 254-7558 and we’ll tell you exactly where your community’s ARB stands.
Yes. The City of Boca Raton building department requires a permit for any sliding glass door replacement, and their locally amended checklist enforces current Florida Building Code wind-load and design pressure requirements. Once the permit is pulled, the inspector will verify header sizing, attachment methods, and waterproofing detail - which often means upgrading framing and flashing that wasn’t code when the home was built. We inspect for this during our measured survey and write any needed allowances into the contract before we start. Call (754) 254-7558 to schedule your survey.
If you’re within a mile of the Atlantic or Intracoastal, full frame-and-sash replacement is almost always the durable scope. Salt-laden air pits and oxidizes aluminum frames, corrodes hardware, and seizes rollers - damage that reglazing doesn’t address. If the frame is structurally sound and you’re inland, reglazing may work. We make this determination during our measured survey and document it in the written scope we leave with you. Call (754) 254-7558 for an exact assessment - estimates are free.
Yes. We specify custom-sized impact units from PGT, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux for arched and radius-top openings, measured to the exact sightline. These are not off-the-shelf stock. We submit manufacturer spec sheets and elevation drawings to your ARB as part of the approval package. Lead times run longer than standard rectangles, but the unit fits and matches the elevation. Call (754) 254-7558 to discuss your opening.
We install PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux, specified by performance tier and price range. Some ARBs maintain approved-manufacturer lists or require specific finish colors - we verify this during our upfront survey and submit the required documentation with your ARB package. Brand selection can affect approval timeline if the ARB requires samples or additional spec sheets. Call (754) 254-7558 and we’ll confirm your community’s requirements before we quote.
