Atlantis is not a typical Palm Beach County suburb. It’s a 0.9-square-mile planned golf-course community where nearly every home dates from the late 1950s through the 1980s, and the rear elevations were built for one purpose: to open up to the fairway. That means wide, non-standard sliding door spans, original aluminum frames, and a replacement process that almost never fits a stock size. We’ve worked on enough homes here to know what’s behind the trim before we remove it.
Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Atlantis’s Preferred Sliding & Patio Doors Company
Dale Kessler founded TruePane in 2008, but the craft behind it goes back years across two generations of glaziers. We are not a franchise operation running crews in from three counties away. We hire locally, train our own apprentices into journeymen, and plan to be answering the phone in Atlantis decades from now. The company sponsors county fairs and church roof funds because we intend to be part of this community long-term.
Atlantis homeowners tend to be people who’ve lived in their houses for twenty or thirty years and have no intention of leaving. They remember what the original sliding doors looked like when they bought the place. They also know those doors now fog up in the morning, bind in July, and would not pass a wind-load inspection today. That’s exactly the customer we write quotes for: someone who wants the job done right, in writing, with both warranty layers registered before our truck leaves the driveway.
Every TruePane job carries the Done Right Promise, backed by The Keystone Standard. Both manufacturer warranty layers are registered in writing and their durations stated on the contract. If the pane is not true, the job is not done. That’s the founding rule on the whiteboard in our shop, and it applies to every sliding door we set in Atlantis.
Our Sliding & Patio Doors Services in Atlantis
Patio Sliding Doors
The classic two-panel or three-panel patio slider is still the most common door we replace in Atlantis. The originals from the 1960s through 1980s are almost always single-pane aluminum with surface-mounted tracks. By now the rollers are shot, the tracks are pitted from humidity, and the glass has likely failed. A typical patio sliding door replacement in Atlantis runs $4,800 to $8,500 for a standard-width opening, more if impact-rated glass is required, which it usually is once the wall is opened. We quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper so you can see exactly what you’re buying.
Panoramic Sliding Systems
Atlantis was built around fairway views. Many rear elevations have openings spanning ten, twelve, even sixteen feet that were custom-framed to capture the sightline. Stock sizes don’t exist for these. Panoramic sliding systems, multi-panel units with wide glass lites and minimal framing, are the practical default for almost every rear-elevation job in this city. Expect $9,000 to $22,000 depending on span, panel count, and impact rating. We order custom from Andersen, Marvin, or Pella, and we measure every opening twice before the order goes in.
Heavy-Duty Sliding Doors
When a sliding door panel weighs 300 to 500 pounds, the hardware matters as much as the glass. We install heavy-duty roller systems, reinforced tracks, and stainless steel hardware on doors that will be opened and closed daily for decades. In Atlantis, where the original aluminum frames have oxidized from salt air and humidity, a heavy-duty retrofit often means replacing the entire jamb assembly, not just the rollers. These jobs run $7,500 to $18,000 depending on size and glazing.
Pocket & Barn Doors
Some Atlantis homes were built with pocket sliding doors that disappear into the wall cavity separating the lanai or sunroom from the living area. The original hardware fails, the door comes off its track, and sometimes the wall itself has to be opened to repair the pocket. We handle full pocket door replacement, including reframing when needed. Barn-style sliding doors are also becoming common for interior transitions. Costs range from $2,800 for a simple interior barn door to $9,000 for a full pocket door retrofit in an exterior wall.

Trusted Brands We Service in Atlantis
TruePane is an authorized installer for over a dozen manufacturer lines, and in Atlantis we most often quote, and PGT for impact-rated sliding systems. For homeowners in Atlantis who want a mid-range option, Jeld-Wen and Simonton make solid sliding door lines that meet Florida Building Code requirements without the premium price of a full custom order. We also service existing doors from Milgard and Ply Gem, replacing rollers, tracks, weatherstripping, and failed insulated glass units when the frame is still sound. Parts for older doors in Atlantis often require ordering, but we keep a running inventory of common track assemblies and roller sets for the models we see most from the 1980s stock.
Common Sliding & Patio Doors Problems We See in Atlantis Homes
- Fogged insulated glass in original 1960s-1980s sliders. The seal between the panes fails, the argon escapes, and you get condensation that never dries. East-facing fairway elevations get hit hardest because they take the morning sun after a humid night.
- Oxidation and pitting on aluminum frames. Salt air from the coast, even several miles inland, accelerates corrosion on the original surface-mounted frames. The rollers bind, the track seizes, and the door becomes a two-person job just to open.
- Non-compliant wind-load resistance. Nearly every older Atlantis slider fails current Palm Beach County wind-load standards. Once the wall is opened for any renovation, code requires impact-rated glazing, which means a full-frame replacement, not an insert.
- Roller failure on wide fairway-facing doors. The oversized panels on rear elevations weight more than the original hardware was meant to carry. The rollers flatten, the door drags, and eventually someone tries to force it and damages the track.
Pricing for Sliding & Patio Doors in Atlantis, FL
Here’s what we see in the Atlantis market right now. A standard two-panel patio slider with impact glass runs $4,800 to $8,500 installed. A three-panel unit runs $6,500 to $12,000. Panoramic multi-panel systems start around $9,000 and go to $22,000 or more for wide fairway-facing spans with custom glazing. Heavy-duty sliding doors with reinforced hardware land between $7,500 and $18,000. Pocket door replacements in exterior walls run $5,000 to $9,000. Screen door installation is the outlier: $650 to $1,800 depending on size and whether you want a retractable system.
What moves the price in Atlantis specifically is span width. The original openings were built for the golf course sightline, not for standard door dimensions. Custom ordering is the rule, not the exception. We write exact line-item quotes, no allowances for “maybe” costs. You’ll see what you’re paying for before you sign.

FAQs - Sliding & Patio Doors in Atlantis
Because the original rear elevations were framed to maximize golf course views, not to fit manufacturer standard widths. Most fairway-facing openings in Atlantis run wider and taller than anything stocked in a warehouse. Contractors who only carry off-the-shelf impact sizes routinely cannot source a direct fit, so custom order becomes the default. Call (850) 801-5596 and we’ll measure the actual rough opening before quoting anything.
Once the wall cavity is exposed, Palm Beach County code requires the replacement door to meet current wind-load and impact-resistance standards. That typically means full-frame tear-out, new flashing tape, and an impact-rated glazing package. We plan for this from the start: inspection first, the code-required scope written into the contract, and any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
Yes. Atlantis sits far enough inland that you don’t get direct salt spray, but the prevailing coastal humidity carries enough airborne salt to accelerate oxidation on bare aluminum. Frames from the 1960s through 1980s often show pitting and white corrosion at the track and jamb. The glass may be fine, but the frame is what fails first here.
Look for fog or haze between the panes that doesn’t wipe away, especially after a humid night or a rain. That’s the seal failed and the argon gas gone. The glass still blocks wind, but the insulation value is gone and the door will sweat. We replace failed insulated glass units when the frame is sound, and full door systems when it isn’t.
Sometimes. If the frame and track are still solid and the other panel is in good condition, we can replace a single sash with a matching glazing package. But on older Atlantis doors, the panel damage is usually accompanied by frame oxidation and worn hardware. We’ll tell you honestly which option makes sense after inspecting the door.
