AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Somerset
Replacing a sliding or patio door in Somerset usually runs between $1,200 and $4,800 depending on the door type, glass package, and whether the rough opening needs re-framing. Most Somerset homes we work on were built before modern energy codes, so we expect non-standard openings, corroded old frames, and weatherstripping that turned brittle years ago. If your patio door sticks, fogs, or lets the August heat through, call (888) 635-0804. We’ll measure, quote, and install it right the first time.
We know Somerset because we work here. The ranch houses off Somerset Road, the manufactured homes throughout 78069, the older frames that have settled out of square over three or four decades. That local knowledge matters when you’re ordering a door that has to fit an opening a San Antonio supply house has never seen.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Somerset’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
TruePane Windows & Doors was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and the company carries years of craft heritage into every job. Dale’s rule hasn’t changed: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That matters in Somerset, where a door that binds in July is a door we won’t leave behind.
Somerset homeowners call us because we answer the phone with a live person, day or night. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. A person. We schedule a background-checked, uniformed technician who measures the opening twice before ordering anything. Both manufacturer warranty layers get registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s The Keystone Standard, and it’s on every job.
Our Somerset customers mention two things most often: the technician showed up when we said, and the bill matched the quote. That’s a square deal. We also keep a Done Right Promise on every install. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork fights, no arguing.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Somerset
Patio Sliding Doors
Most Somerset ranch houses still have their original single-pane aluminum sliding patio doors. They corrode at the jamb and sash until the only way to open them is to lift the door and kick the frame. We replace those with properly sized, energy-rated sliding doors that actually glide. In manufactured homes, we work within HUD-code rough openings, which are often narrower or shallower than what a stock residential door is built for. That means custom order, not shelf stock.
Panoramic Sliding Systems
Some Somerset homeowners want to open the back of the house to a patio or pasture view. Panoramic sliding systems use multi-panel glass to create wide openings without sacrificing structural integrity. The framing has to be precisely squared, and in Somerset that usually means correcting rough openings that have shifted over decades. We order the system to the corrected dimensions, not the old ones.
Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
For Somerset homeowners who want a door that will still be square and smooth in twenty years, heavy-duty sliding doors are the honest answer. Heavier frames, reinforced tracks, better rollers. They’re especially worth considering if your existing door faces direct south or west sun, which is where we see the most UV warping and frame failure in 78069. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying.
Pocket & Barn Doors
Pocket and barn doors work well in Somerset’s smaller ranch floor plans, where a swinging door eats floor space. We install pocket doors in interior wall cavities and barn-style sliding doors where wall space is limited. The trick is getting the track hung true on a wall that hasn’t been straight since the 1980s. We shim, we level, we check.
Screen Door Installation
Somerset’s heat means homeowners want outside air in the evenings, but the mosquitos and dust don’t cooperate. We install screen doors matched to your existing patio slider, including custom screens for manufactured home openings that don’t take stock sizes. A proper screen door lets you run the breeze without turning your living room into a bug light.

Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Somerset Homes
- Corroded original single-pane aluminum frames. Somerset ranch houses built in the 1970s through the 1990s usually still carry their original aluminum patio doors. The jambs corrode where they meet the threshold, and the sash sticks so badly it takes two hands and a hip check to open.
- HUD-code rough openings that are not square. Manufactured homes in the 78069 ZIP use rough openings built to HUD sizing standards, not site-built dimensions. If a new door goes into an opening that’s out of square by half an inch, it will bind. We shim, square, and seal with flashing tape before setting the unit.
- UV-damaged vinyl frames and failed seals. Summers in Somerset regularly pass 100°F. That heat plus intense UV breaks down vinyl frame compounds faster than in central Texas and turns weatherstripping brittle. Foggy glass means the seal between panes has failed, and the door is no longer insulating.
- Doors that no longer latch or lock securely. We see patio doors in Somerset that have been forced open so many times the latch no longer catches. That’s not an inconvenience. It’s a security problem on the back of the house, and it needs a new lock assembly or a full door replacement, not a pry bar.
Key Takeaways: Somerset’s housing stock is older and more non-standard than most San Antonio suburbs. Expect custom sizing, expect re-flashing, expect a quote that accounts for the rough opening, not just the door. And expect a company that answers the phone when you call.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Somerset, TX
A standard patio sliding door replacement in Somerset typically runs $1,200 to $3,200.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Somerset
Manufactured and HUD-code homes in Somerset’s 78069 ZIP use rough openings built to federal manufactured-home sizing standards, which are often narrower or shallower than standard site-built residential dimensions. An off-the-shelf patio door from a supply house will not seat properly in that opening. You need a technician who knows HUD-code sizing and can order a door that fits, or who can adapt the opening without compromising the framing. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll measure it right the first time.
Yes, fog between the panes means the insulating seal has failed. The door has lost its thermal barrier and is leaking conditioned air into the South Texas heat. In Somerset’s climate, that translates to higher utility bills and a door that doesn’t do its job. The fix is usually glass replacement or a full door replacement depending on the frame condition. Either way, it’s a free estimate call.
Yes, most sliding patio door replacements in Somerset require a permit, especially if the rough opening is being modified or if the door is part of an exterior wall. Replacing original single-pane aluminum with modern code-compliant glazing can also trigger energy code compliance on the new assembly. We pull the permits and handle inspections. The cost of the permit and any required upgrades goes into your quote upfront, in writing.
It’s usually the frame and the rough opening, not the rollers. Somerset homes are older, the frames have settled out of square, and the original aluminum jambs have corroded. When the temperature passes 100°F, metal and vinyl expand, and a door that was marginal in April binds in August. A neighbor in a newer San Antonio subdivision with a square, modern frame won’t have the same problem. The fix is correcting the opening, not greasing the track. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free assessment.
Yes, and for Somerset manufactured homes it usually requires a custom-cut screen because the existing patio door is not a standard size. We measure the exact opening, fabricate or order the screen to fit, and set it with hardware that works with your current door’s track. Expect $180 to $450 depending on the frame material and whether it’s a sliding or hinged screen. Estimates are free.
