Patio & Sliding Doors

Sliding and gliding patio doors that open up the room and seal out the weather.

A patio door connects your living space to the outdoors and brings in light — but a big moving panel of glass is also a demanding thing to install correctly. We install Andersen gliding and sliding patio doors, including multi-panel configurations, matched to the opening. We set the unit dead level, flash and seal the opening against the wind-driven rain this region gets, and adjust the rollers and hardware so large panels glide smoothly and lock securely. Done right, a patio door opens up the room and stays weather-tight and easy to operate for years.

Why Patio Doors

What sets Patio & Sliding Doors apart — and why we install it across Hampton Roads.

Andersen gliding and sliding doors

We install Andersen patio doors, including multi-panel configurations, with proper manufacturer support for the right unit and dependable lead times.

Set dead level for smooth operation

Large sliding panels are unforgiving of an out-of-level sill. We set the track true so panels glide smoothly and seal evenly along their full length.

Flashed and sealed against coastal weather

A wide opening is a wide path for water. We flash and seal the sill and jambs to keep wind-driven rain out — critical in the Hampton Roads climate.

Secure locking and adjusted hardware

We adjust rollers, strikes, and weatherstripping so the door locks securely and operates with one hand, not a shove.

Patio Doors in Virginia Beach & Hampton Roads

Where and how we install Patio & Sliding Doors across the coast.

We install Andersen gliding and panoramic multi-slide patio doors as a contractor across the six-city Hampton Roads market — Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hampton, and Newport News. A wide wall of glass carries a design-pressure rating that should be matched to the site's coastal wind exposure, and homes near the Oceanfront or Sandbridge can sit in the wind-borne-debris region, where impact-rated glazing or approved opening protection may apply. On the low-lying, flood-prone lots common around Lynnhaven and Back Bay we detail a proper sill pan and threshold flashing so the track sheds water. Confirm current code specifics with the City of Virginia Beach.

We don’t just supply it — we install it.

Patio & Sliding Doors is only as good as the crew that installs it. See how our windows & doors service delivers it weather-tight and built to last across Hampton Roads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Patio & Sliding Doors.

A patio door is a large, heavy, moving panel of glass, so it's far less forgiving of an out-of-level or out-of-square opening. If the sill isn't dead level, the door binds, doesn't seal evenly, and wears unevenly. We set the track true, flash and seal the opening, and adjust the rollers and hardware so it glides smoothly and stays weather-tight.

Yes. Andersen patio doors are available with black and other exterior finishes, so they can be matched to black or modern windows for a consistent look. We'll coordinate the door and window selections so the exterior reads as one cohesive design.

Sometimes — it depends on where the home sits. Along much of the Oceanfront and Sandbridge, the coastal wind-borne-debris region of the building code can call for impact-rated glazing or approved opening protection, which matters more on a big patio door than a small window simply because of the glass area involved. Every unit also carries a design-pressure rating that should suit the local coastal wind speeds, roughly 115–130 mph (3-second gust) depending on site and the ASCE 7 edition in force. We match the unit and flash the opening to those conditions; check the current requirements for your address with the city.
