Patio Door Cost Quote

Hello Dane, I'm in Texas and we are estimating the finished exterior door to be around $3500 by Anlin. NT doors was a bit less at $3100. So, what do you think of these prices? Fair or should I keep looking? What are the best rated patio doors in your opinion?

Dominique, those are pretty standard price points for those brands generally speaking. Honestly, when it comes to doors, I would collect three to four additional bids to get an overall picture of what you can expect price-wise. More than window prices, patio doors and slider can vary widely in terms of what they cost

Best Patio Doors and Sliders

Hi John, I just watched your video, Best Rated Patio Doors and Slider in the US. Thank you for such helpful information. Trying to find windows/doors is so overwhelming! I’m going through a remodel and am looking for a slider for my dining room out to the screened porch. My contractor confirmed size, 60 x 80. My house is a 1950’s colonial with a lot of typical wood moulding. Out of all the companies you reviewed would you recommend one that would seem like a good match for the aesthetic look of my colonial? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

While I don’t need to have a wood slider (my new windows are wood in the inside and vinyl outside), I do want one that has a very small frame, mostly glass where I can choose an oil rubbed bronze door handle and not clunky looking. Also, I’m not a big fan of sliders as I imagine those metal clunky sliders of the 70’s with large handles, yuk! I have reviewed many contempary patio doors, but most are either super expensive, too contemporary or don’t work — because my space is small I opted for a slider.
