Protect your Sarasota house from the elements with a second exterior door. Select a style with a screen to improve ventilation and airflow inside. Storm door installation makes homes more energy-efficient and adds insulation. The top-rated material is aluminum, which doesn’t pair well with steel. Other storm doors are made of fiberglass or wood. These materials cost more but offer better durability.

Standard layouts feature a pair of panels with numerous glass panes. The broad framework and grille deliver a magnificent presentation with accentuated hardware. Choose interior or exterior French door installation for your Sarasota home. The hinged style can swing in or out based on the free space. French doors are perfect for patios and sunrooms. The glass panes let natural light in and add an elegant connection between areas. French doors also come in single panels and telescopic layouts in various materials.

Choose a sliding or hinged patio door for your Sarasota residence. Materials include vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum, steel, and wood. Patio door installation often features two large glass panels. Sunlight enters the home and conserves energy. Hinged patio doors can swing into a room or onto the outdoor areas. For smaller spaces with limitations, sliding entryways are the best choice. To enjoy the fresh air and keep insects out, patio screen doors are perfect.

Both hinged and sliding doors come with screens as an option to allow air into homes. Having more ventilation and sunlight will lower energy bills. Screen door installation is a barrier that prevents bugs from coming into houses. The entryways offer a view of the outdoors and give easy access to a patio, deck, or yard. Screens are often found in storm and patio doors.

Many homes require custom specifications for their exterior or entryway door to match the house aesthetic. Custom doors means that special styles, features, and finishes can be added to suit your needs. Call us today for a free estimate, and we can come out for a consultation and take measurements for your new custom door.

Easily access your deck or yard with sliding glass door installation. Our contractors place the tracks, rollers, and glass panels into the entryway. We also can add a screen to the sliding door to help with ventilation and keep insects from coming into your home. Vinyl and aluminum provide two affordable options with safety glass. Fiberglass sliding door installation costs more but has a longer lifespan.

Our door installation company in Englewood, FL services other areas of properties. We replace entryways inside garages connected to a house.

Your Questions Answers

French Doors FAQs

What are the benefits of French doors?

Advanced Home Window and Door used PFT French Doors, which are desired for their elegant design and ability to let a large amount of light into a room. They’re popular because they conveniently incorporate outdoor decks & patios into your living space while adding timeless appeal.

How are French doors constructed?

“A French door is built of multiple lites, or full-length pieces of glass. Decorative grills can be embedded in between double-pane glass or superimposed on top of a single pane of glass in the door. For an elegant touch, decorative patterns are cut into the glass.
Typically, French doors are installed to open toward the inside of the house with both sides of the door opening as opposed to only one.”

Do French doors allow light inside your home?

Yes. Our French doors are coveted for their visual grace and ability to let light into the room even when the door is closed. They give a room an open-air look and improves access between indoor and outdoor spaces.

French doors are a style best known for their long window panes trailing the entire door. They are considered a type of patio door, though both panels pivot on hinges like a conventional door. French doors add beauty and elegance while allowing more natural light into your home.

How do you measure French doors?

To measure french doors, begin by measuring at the inside of the door opening. Next, measure all dimensions of the door frame, including the width, length, and height. Because both doors open individually, you’ll also need to measure the width of the doors swing.

How do you lock French doors?

To lock your French doors, use the Window World Multi-point lock system for an additional layer of security.

Do French doors have screens?

French doors do not normally include screens, as they are not included in the original design. However, you may add a screen to your French door so they can be left open without allowing insects to enter your home.

From start to finish, our window and door replacement could not have been better. The estimator, Fred, gave us plenty of options to choose from, and was full of valuable information. When Al came out to measure everything, I noticed that he really paid attention to details. As a result, the crew was fully prepared for the project when they showed up. They were very clean and careful in their work, so our final cleaning was minimal. I also noticed that the crew paid attention to minor details, such as exact measurements. They were like a well oiled machine, the way they worked together. The inspection was yesterday, and as we expected, no problems. They will be here today to put up the finishing trim pieces, and I expect that to be awesome as well. Great job all around!

We had great, professional service and overall experience using this company. Being new to the area, many people referenced using local companies for service and they were definitely right. The customer service was great and pricing of two hurricane doors with permits/install came out to the same price as one door through Home Depot. Seamless process and happy with the end result. Would recommend!

We got estimates from four different companies before deciding to have Advanced Home Window and Door install hurricane windows throughout our home, and we are so glad we chose them!

From the very beginning, they stood out because of their professionalism, prompt communication, quality products, and warranty. They were always on time, kept us informed throughout the process, and made everything very easy.

One of the things that impressed us most was the turnaround time. Their estimated installation timeframe was already considerably shorter than several of the other companies we talked with, and they actually ended up installing our windows even earlier than promised!

The installation crew was fantastic. They were professional, courteous, incredibly efficient, and took extra care to protect our home and keep everything clean while they worked. We couldn’t believe how quickly they got the job done, and when they left, everything was cleaned up beautifully.

Most importantly, we LOVE our new windows! They look great, are very well made, and are such an improvement over our old windows. Replacing all the windows in your home with hurricane-impact windows is a big investment, so choosing the right company really matters. We feel like we made an excellent choice.

Our experience with Advanced Home Window and Door was positive from the first estimate through the final installation. We would absolutely use them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering new or hurricane-impact windows. Five stars from us!

This company is top notch. They gave us pricing options on two window manufacturers and explained the difference between the two. When they started the project, the crew worked like a well oiled machine. They showed up every morning at the same time and at end of each day, they cleaned-up the area, inside and outside. They worked very well together and were very polite and professional. We were fortunate to have contracted them for this important project!

Al is the kind of owner you hope you’ll find and almost never do. He knows the products, the codes, and the little details of a Florida home inside and out, and he actually listens to what you need instead of pushing a package. That care shows up in the whole company.
The office staff is always on it. Anthony on the sales side was clear, patient, and never made it feel like a hard sell. The install crew—MJ, Ronnie, and the rest of the team—treated every opening like it mattered. They were precise, they cleaned up, and they did not leave until the smallest things were right.
You can tell they like working for Al. That kind of team does not happen by accident; it starts at the top. The whole experience, from first conversation through install, was professional without being stiff and thorough without being overbearing.
Al, Anthony, MJ, Ronnie, and the rest of the crew—thank you. This is how the job is supposed to be done.
