Patio Door Replacement in Chicago
Sliding and French Patio Doors That Open Smoothly and Keep Out the Cold
A patio door is a large piece of glass in a wall that faces the weather, so when rollers wear out, seals fail or the glass fogs, you feel it every day. HomeBuild replaces sliding, French and hinged patio doors across Chicago and the suburbs. We have been installing doors since 2004, we are an Elite Platinum Pella Certified Contractor and an Andersen Certified Contractor, and our owner supervises every installation.
Sliding, French or Hinged: Which Patio Door Fits Your Space
Sliding patio doors save floor space and bring in the most light, which makes them a good fit for kitchens and smaller decks. French doors swing open for a wide, classic entrance to a yard or patio. Hinged patio doors combine the look of French doors with one operating panel. We look at your room layout, furniture and deck before recommending a configuration, screen type and glass package.
Careful Installation in Finished Rooms
Patio doors often sit in finished kitchens and family rooms, so we protect floors, remove the old unit cleanly and repair the opening before the new door goes in. We check the sill for rot, install proper pan flashing so water cannot reach the subfloor, insulate around the frame and finish the trim inside and out.

Energy-Efficient Patio Doors for Chicago Homes
An old patio door can let in as much cold air as several windows. New doors use dual-pane or triple-pane Low-E glass with argon gas, insulated frames and tight weatherstripping, and many are ENERGY STAR certified for the Northern climate zone. The room next to the door stays warmer in January and cooler in July.
