How Much Does it Cost to Replace a Patio Door in California?

Are you wondering how much it will cost to replace a patio door or install a sliding glass patio door? You’re in the right place. Your outdoor space isn’t complete without a  patio door that allows easy entry and lets in natural light. There are a few variables that can affect how much it costs to install a new patio door, including the style of door, the materials of the door, installation labor, and disposal fees. This guide will help you start your market research.

Cost to Replace a Glass Patio Door

Most patio doors are about 6 feet to 6 foot 8 inches wide. These prices reflect those dimensions. Larger patio doors will cost more due to the extra material cost.

The total cost of patio doors in California will be affected by the type of material, the labor and disposal costs, and any extra finishing included in the project scope. It’s important to know that patio doors have many different variables and these can drastically affect the overall cost.

Most patio doors with two glass panels will cost between $2,000 to $6,000 for the door, installation, and finishing.

French patio doors are more expensive and can cost between $3,000 and $8,500 for the door, installation, and finishing.

Costs for 60 to 68 inch, 2-panel patio doors

Mid-range $1,500 to $2,800
High $2,800 to $4,500
Aluminum Low $1,400 to $2,600

Material Selection Can Affect Costs

The material used in the sliding glass door is one of the biggest factors in the overall cost of replacing the sliding glass door. Here are the most common materials used in patio doors.

  • Vinyl. The most affordable and lowest maintenance material for patio doors. Good insulation, resists moisture, doesn’t seal as tight as some other materials.
  • Aluminum. Modern aesthetic, conducts solar or thermal heat. Heavy-duty, not as moisture resistant.
  • Wood-clad. Excellent insulation, beautiful classic aesthetic, requires regular maintenance. May warp in humid climates.
  • Composite. Long-lasting, less aesthetic appeal.
  • Fiberglass. Durable, weather-resistant, energy-efficient.
  • Steel. Very durable, versatile, prone to rust in high humidity.

Labor Costs for Installing Patio Doors

Installing a new patio door comes with certain labor and disposal costs, on top of the basic materials. If your patio door installation includes new structural modifications, such as strengthening a load-bearing wall, resizing the door opening, or making the door more accessible, the labor cost can increase. While it may be tempting to DIY patio door installation, an experienced home remodeling contractor can make sure the door is installed properly, removing and disposing of the old door. Weatherproofing, exterior flashing, and adding interior trim can also add to basic labor costs.
