AfterFast, Reliable Sliding & Patio Doors Across Wellington
Sliding patio door replacement in Wellington typically runs $2,500 to $6,500 for a standard impact-rated unit installed, and most custom orders take four to six weeks from deposit to final inspection. The lead time is set by the manufacturer’s fabrication queue and your HOA’s review calendar, not by our crew’s schedule. We’ve worked Wellington’s gated communities long enough to know both clocks. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll give you a straight answer on each one before you spend a dollar.
Wellington is not a generic Florida suburb. The homes along South Shore Boulevard, through Paddock Park, and inside Versailles were built in waves from the late 1970s through the early 2000s, and those original aluminum-frame sliders are now at the age where seals fail, frames corrode, and rollers bind. The replacements have to clear a taller bar than the original builds ever did. That’s where we come in.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors team knows what Palm Beach County requires on paper, what your HOA’s architectural board will request in practice, and how to order the unit that satisfies both without a second round of revisions. We serve Wellington and the surrounding communities from our South Florida metro office, with crews dispatched locally. One call. A written quote. A door that actually slides in July.
What Sliding & Patio Doors Costs in Wellington
A sliding glass door replacement in Wellington runs $2,500 to $6,500 for a standard impact-rated unit installed. Impact French patio doors cost more, typically $4,000 to $9,000 installed, because they carry more glass area and more hardware per opening. Large custom openings, wide-plank barn-style estate doors, and oversized lanai sliders can run $8,000 to $15,000 or more, especially on the larger parcels off South Shore Boulevard. Whole-home packages across Wellington generally land between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on how many openings you’re replacing and whether the units are stock or custom-order.
What moves the price in Wellington specifically: opening count, wind-zone design pressure, floor height, and whether the HOA is asking for a custom finish to match your stucco or trim. A stock 72×80 impact slider costs less than a 96×96 custom unit sized to a 1980s lanai opening. The quote we write is the price you pay. We lock it in writing before we order anything.
Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll come measure every opening, review the manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and give you a written line-item quote for the work. The estimate is free, and it won’t change once you sign.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Wellington’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
We’re not a franchise that hired a crew in Wellington last month. TruePane was founded in 2008 by second-generation glazier Dale Kessler, and our company’s craft tradition runs many years deep in South Florida communities. We’ve replaced enough original Wellington sliders to know exactly what’s behind the walls before we open them. The dual approval process here, Palm Beach County permit plus HOA sign-off, doesn’t bend. We’ve cleared it more times than we can count, in Paddock Park, Versailles, and the polo communities around the show-grounds corridor.
Wellington homeowners call us because a live person answers the phone every time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail tree, not a regional call center. A person who can look at our schedule and tell you when a technician will be at your door in the 33414 zip code. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to measure every opening twice before a quote is written.
Every job carries the Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, no paperwork arguments, no fine print. And every warranty layer gets registered in writing before the truck leaves your driveway. That’s the Keystone Standard. It’s how Dale has run the company since day one: if the pane is not true, the job is not done.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Wellington
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
Impact sliding glass doors are the standard replacement for original Wellington sliders, and for good reason. The old aluminum units weren’t built for large-missile impact. New impact-rated sliders from PGT and CGI carry Miami-Dade NOA numbers that satisfy Palm Beach County’s Florida Product Approval requirements. We size the unit to your existing opening when the HOA allows it, which saves on stucco and tile work, but we’ll tell you honestly when the frame has to go. In most 1980s Wellington builds, the frame is part of the problem.
Impact French Patio Doors
French patio doors are common in the Paddock Park and Versailles developments, and the impact-rated versions are among the heavier, more expensive units we install in Wellington. They have to swing, seal, and carry extra glass area while meeting the same design pressure as a slider. We order from lines like PGT and CGI, match the finish to your existing millwork, and coordinate the engineering letter when the HOA or county requests one. No surprise line items. The quote covers the door, the install, and the paperwork.
Sliding Glass Door Replacement
We replace failed sliders throughout Wellington, from the original 1970s lanai doors in the older sections to the 1990s and early 2000s units in the newer builds. What we find most often: aluminum frames that have corroded from daily humidity cycling, rollers that have flattened, and IGUs that have delaminated. The fogged glass is the visible symptom. The warped jamb under it is the structural one. We quote the full fix, not the glass-only patch, because the patch fails again in two seasons.
Screen Door Installation
Wellington’s afternoon thunderstorms and insects make a functioning screen door part of the lanai setup. We install and repair sliding screen doors on the same track systems we service, sized to your existing opening and matched to the door’s finish. If your screen door is binding, torn, or off-track after a storm, our technicians can usually address it in one visit, often the same trip as a slider service call.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT and CGI, which are the two we most often recommend for Wellington impact work. We also service Therma-Tru and ViewLux units. Because we order directly through manufacturer channels, we can pull configuration-specific Florida Product Approval documentation for your exact opening, which is what the county wants to see. We keep a working stock of common rollers, tracks, handles, and seals for the brands already installed across Wellington’s planned developments, which shortens turnaround on repairs that don’t require a full unit replacement.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Roller failure and track binding. Wellington’s daily humidity cycling forces aluminum frames to expand and contract. The original rollers in 1980s and 1990s sliders weren’t built for that cycle, and they flatten, which makes the door stick or jump the track. What feels like a weak handle is usually a dead roller underneath.
- IGU seal failure and fogged glass. The intense afternoon thunderstorms, followed by dry sun, push and pull on the insulated glass unit seals. In homes built before 2000, we see delaminated and fogged glass on almost every original slider. The fix isn’t a regas; it’s replacement with an impact-rated glazing package that meets current code.
- Corroded frames and warped jambs. Aluminum and salt-adjacent air are a bad long-term pair, even 12 to 15 miles inland. The corrosion starts at the sill corners, spreads into the jamb, and eventually pulls the frame out of square. A door that won’t lock isn’t just a security issue; it’s a sign the frame has moved.
- HOA finish and style rejections. In Wellington’s gated equestrian and polo communities, the architectural review board governs exterior aesthetics. A homeowner can pick a door, pay a deposit, and then have the board reject the finish or profile, which stalls the whole job. We’ve learned to submit finish samples and product data sheets before we order, which saves weeks.

Florida Pays You Back
Wellington homeowners replacing original non-impact sliders with impact-rated doors may qualify for several state and federal incentives. My Safe Florida Home offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation upgrades, though funding cycles and eligibility rules change. Florida also exempts impact-resistant windows and doors from sales tax at the point of purchase. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can cover 30% of product cost, up to $600 per year, on qualifying units. After installation, a wind-mitigation inspection ($75 to $150 in our experience) can unlock windstorm premium credits that typically average around 25% on the windstorm portion of your policy. Programs set the final numbers, not us. We’ll provide the documentation your insurer and the programs require, product approvals, design pressure ratings, and installation records.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Wellington
Plan on four to six weeks from the day you sign the quote to the day we finish the final inspection. Custom fabrication runs four to six weeks at the manufacturer’s queue. The HOA review board can add a week or two at the front end. Once the unit arrives at our shop, the install itself is typically completed in as fast as a single day, and we coordinate the county inspection that follows. Call (888) 635-0804 and we’ll walk through the calendar for your specific opening.
Yes, in almost every Wellington community, the HOA’s architectural review board must sign off on the door’s style, finish, and sometimes the manufacturer before Palm Beach County will issue the permit. The board’s approval is the first gate. We pull the permit after the board signs. In unincorporated areas nearby, county permitting alone often suffices, but inside Wellington’s gated communities, the dual gate is the rule. We submit product data sheets and finish samples before we order, which heads off rejections.
Generally no. Most original Wellington sliders have aluminum frames that are corroded, out of square, or not rated for the design pressure your new impact glazing requires. The glass has to be tested and rated as part of an assembly, and a frame that can’t carry the load won’t pass the county inspection. There are occasional exceptions where the frame is in excellent condition, but in our experience those are rare in pre-2000 builds. We’ll tell you what’s realistic after we open the jamb.
The required design pressure rating in Wellington depends on your specific location within the village and your home’s exposure, not just on the neighborhood. Homes on larger, open equestrian parcels along South Shore Boulevard or in the show-grounds corridor can sit in a different exposure category than a home tucked into a planned development. The county and your engineer will determine the number. We size the door to the required design pressure and provide the Florida Product Approval documentation your permit application needs.
Most carriers apply a windstorm premium credit once a wind-mitigation inspection documents that impact-rated units are installed on all openings. The credit typically averages around 25% on the windstorm portion of the premium. Your specific savings depend on your carrier, your policy, and the inspection report. We’ll give you the documentation your insurer needs to process the credit after installation.
The Wellington Approval Gate
Every sliding or patio door replacement in Wellington must clear two gates before we can order anything: Palm Beach County’s Florida Product Approval impact requirements and your development’s HOA architectural review board. That’s not true at the same scale in neighboring unincorporated areas, where county permits alone do the job. Inside Wellington’s gated equestrian and polo communities, the board governs exterior finishes, door styles, and sometimes even the manufacturer line. A homeowner can fall in love with a door, pay a deposit, and watch the job stall because the board wants a different finish or profile.
We’ve learned to run the two processes in sequence, and we’ve learned where the friction points live. We replaced a corroded, non-impact slider in Versailles with a custom PGT impact-rated sliding glass door sized to the original 1980s opening. The HOA required a finish-color match to the stucco. The county required a Miami-Dade NOA for the oversized unit. Our crew coordinated the engineering letter and permit package before ordering, locked the price in writing, then installed the door with new jamb and sash alignment to meet the design pressure for the equestrian corridor. That’s the kind of job that teaches you the Wellington rhythm. Paperwork first. Price fixed. Then the door goes in.
If you’re replacing a slider here, don’t compare yourself to a cousin in Lake Worth or Greenacres. The rules are different inside the village. Call (888) 635-0804 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through both gates before you spend a cent.
