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.

What are French doors?

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.

Do French doors open in or out?

French doors can be installed to open either inward or outward. When you choose Advanced Home Window and Door for your installation, we set your doors to open inward for a smooth transition from room to room.

How do you hang curtains on French doors?

To add curtains to your French doors, you’ll need to first find curtains that exceed the length of the windows. Otherwise, you follow the normal process of installing a curtain rod and attaching the curtains to the rod.

Al and his entire crew were amazing to work with from start to finish and beyond. The doors and windiws they installed were comoleted with perfection to our specifications. They are even going above the normal customer service and care. Due to unforseen curcustances with our previous company (business foreclosure and incomplete work) they are able to maintain our warranty for all the windows and doors we have had installed for any repairs needed in the future. Highly recommend - 10 out of 10!!!

After getting quotes from several companies, I decided to go with Advanced Home Window and Door, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. From start to finish, their team maintained excellent communication, showed up on time, and delivered top-quality workmanship. They replaced all the windows in my home with vinyl impact rated, insulated and Low E and they are amazing. My home stays cooler during the day and it’s much quieter inside. The technicians were professional and respectful. If you’re looking for a reliable, straightforward company for windows and doors, I highly recommend Advanced Home Window and Door. I would not hesitate to use them again.

I highly recommend Advanced Home Window and Door. I had a 3-panel hurricane impact slider installed and couldn’t be more pleased. From the estimate with Fred, consultations with Al, scheduling/paperwork with Beth and Dawn, installation by MJ and his team and finishes by Nico and Jesse – EVERYONE was extremely respectful and accommodating and the cost was very fair compared to my other estimates. They worked with me in every aspect of the job. In the future, I have more windows and doors to replace and will positively turn to Advanced Home Window and Door as soon as finances allow me to get these done! If you need windows and/or doors you definitely should contact them. My sincere thanks to the entire staff at Advanced Home Window and Door!

There are a lot of window and door installation companies out there, but I’m very glad I chose Advanced Home Window and Door. From start to finish, their communication was outstanding — fast, clear, and proactive. The workmanship was flawless, with skilled, courteous technicians who treated my home with care and left the work area cleaner than they found it.

I had a custom impact-rated insulated sliding glass door installed where a window used to be, plus a new impact-rated exterior door. Both projects were completed on schedule and exceeded my expectations in quality and appearance. It's rare to find a team that combines professionalism, craftsmanship, and genuine customer service so seamlessly.

If you’re looking for high-quality window replacement or door installation done right the first time, Advanced Home Window and Door should be your first call. I’ll absolutely be working with them again and confidently recommend them to anyone improving their home’s safety, energy efficiency, and value.

Excellent company for your windows & doors. Every employee we worked with including the owner Al Salazar were amazing. Totally impressed. Price was significantly below one of the bids we received. Al came out and re-measured one last time and fully explained what would be involved . The order was on-time and delivered months earlier than other companies bids. The employees were friendly and personable and made sure to protect all surfaces and clean up completely once they were done. Don’t look any further for your windows & doors. Advanced Windows & Doors is 💯 % the best choice.
