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.

From the initial consultation to the final installation, the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Replacing all of the doors and windows in our home was a major project, but the team did a great job getting the job done quickly and efficiently.

The installers were professional, courteous, and incredibly detail oriented. They arrived on time, kept the work areas clean, and took great pride in the quality of their work. Every door and window was installed with precision, and we love how the new doors and windows look and operate!

The quality of the products is outstanding, and we’ve already noticed improvements in comfort, appearance, including a lower electric bill!

I couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for new windows and doors.

My dad lives in Englewood, FL and wanted to look into having hurricane windows installed. He had already obtained a quote from Lowe's. I sent him 3 companies, who looked to be, reputable companies with good ratings from Yelp. He called all and only one actually took the time to go to his house to discuss and give a quote, who is Advanced Home. The other two couldn't be bothered and gave him a broad range estimate without knowledge of his needs for his home. Advanced took their time and reviewed what would need to be done, the cost, the time it would take to complete, when they would be able to start the project, etc. Here's the kicker....they are more expensive than Lowe's by thousands of dollars, but he explained, in great detail, why the windows cost more. Then, he talked to a couple other people, who I believe were the owners, after he decided to hire them to do the work. They went over even more detail. The work was completed and, needless to say, my dad is extremely happy with the process and the work completed, which is why he asked me to write this review for him.

Advanced Home Window and Door did an amazing job putting in our 2 slider doors. The sliders are so solid and of high quality that we plan on replacing 2 more older sliders. The team was efficient and so easy to work with. So glad we called them to do our work. Thanks Tom and Karen Barber in Englewood Fl

It's been about 10 months since this company put in our new hurricane windows. They were the best to work with and I would highly recommend them. They cared about every little detail that had to be done. They were above and beyond the best !!

Pulling the trigger on replacing single pane crank windows and doors can be daunting, especially when you realize just how many players are in the business. I got many quotes and met many characters. I ended up choosing Advanced for multiple reasons. They were the only ones to show up with samples of their products on the first visit, showing what makes their product better (had one company say I'd need to enter contract before they'd bring samples out). They were patient and more than willing to change the quote through numerous color changes, window type changes etc. Were they the cheapest? No. But a combination of great reviews and a product that did seem superior, I pulled the trigger and it all seemed to be true! Great communication through the process and the install team (MJ & Slim) were great and tidy. Peace of mind is worth a lot these days and that's what you get with Advanced. Oh, and the city inspector said it was some of the best work he'd seen!

Above and beyond from start to finish! I replaced 17 windows in my Venice Island home. 11 in 2025 and the remaining 6 in 2026. There was no difference in the superlative service and installation.
