Open Up Your Home to the Outdoors
Patio doors bring the outdoors in — more natural light, a better connection to your backyard, and an upgrade to how your home actually lives day to day. EMC Remodeling installs patio doors for homeowners across Central Texas, with options built for smooth operation, energy efficiency, and security that holds up just as well as any entry door.
Patio Door Replacement Services We Offer
Sliding Patio Door Replacement
We install sliding patio doors that open up your living space to the backyard, with smooth-operating tracks and options for larger glass panels to maximize natural light.
French Patio Door Replacement
For a more traditional look, we also install French-style patio doors that swing open rather than slide, giving your space a classic, elegant feel.
Adding A Door
Want a patio door somewhere you don’t currently have one? We can create a new opening to relocate your patio door or add an additional exit to your backyard.
Upgrading Size and Style
Looking for a bigger, more open connection to your backyard? We can upgrade you to a bifold or multi-panel sliding door for a wider, more dramatic opening.

Signs You Need a Patio Door Replacement
Difficulty Sliding or Opening
If your patio door sticks, drags, or takes real effort to open and close, worn rollers or a damaged track are usually to blame — and it’s more than just an inconvenience over time.
Fogging or Condensation Between the Glass
Cloudiness or moisture trapped between the panes means the seal has failed, letting in humidity that can’t be wiped away and blocking the natural light your patio door is supposed to bring in.
Drafts or Poor Insulation
If you feel air movement around the frame, or the room near your patio door always runs warmer or colder than the rest of the house, it’s a sign the seal or frame isn’t doing its job anymore.
Need to Replace Your Patio Door?
Common Patio Door Situations
Upgrading from a Single Slider to a Multi-Panel Door
Many older homes have a standard two-panel sliding door, but multi-panel systems that stack or fold open wide are a popular upgrade — creating a much bigger, more open connection to the backyard than a traditional slider allows.
Replacing an Old Aluminum-Frame Patio Door
Like older aluminum windows, aluminum-frame patio doors conduct heat and cold poorly, making them a common source of energy loss in older Central Texas homes. Upgrading to vinyl or fiberglass makes a noticeable difference in comfort.
Materials & Brands We Work With
We work with trusted names like Andersen, Pella, Simonton, MI Windows, Wincore, and Norandex — the same brands we install on windows — below are some of their most popular patio door lines, though each brand offers more options than what’s listed here.
Andersen
Andersen’s 400 Series Frenchwood is their best-selling patio door — a solid wood core protected by a low-maintenance vinyl exterior, available in both sliding and traditional hinged versions, with the option to add built-in blinds between the glass.
Pella
Pella offers several sliding patio door options, including the fiberglass Impervia line for maximum durability, and the wood-look Lifestyle Series with an aluminum-clad exterior — the same materials used across their window lineup.
Simonton
Simonton’s French Sliding Patio Door combines the traditional look of a French door with the space-saving convenience of a slider, and comes standard with Low-E glass and argon gas fill for strong energy performance.
Our Process
Measurements & Consultation
We measure your existing opening and talk through your options for door style, material, and glass configuration.
Removal of the Old Door
We carefully remove your existing patio door, checking the surrounding frame and flooring for any damage that needs to be addressed before the new door goes in.
New Door Installation
Your new door is installed, leveled, and properly sealed to keep drafts, noise, and moisture out.
Final Walkthrough
We walk you through the finished door, making sure it slides or swings smoothly, locks properly, and operates the way it should, and send over your final invoice along with your warranty information for your records.
FAQ
What are the different types of patio doors?
Patio doors typically come in two main styles: sliding doors, which glide horizontally on a track, and French doors, which swing open like a traditional door. Sliding doors save floor space and are great for a modern look, while French doors offer a more classic, timeless feel.
Are the doors easy to open?
Yes — modern patio doors use advanced roller and track systems designed specifically for smooth, easy operation, even on larger doors.
Do the doors come with blinds?
Yes — many of our patio doors offer the option of built-in blinds between the glass, giving you a durable, maintenance-free way to control light and privacy.
Can I replace a hinged door with a sliding patio door?
Yes — we can convert your existing hinged French doors to a sliding patio door if that better fits your space or style.
