Retro-Fit Patio Doors in San Jose, CA
Retrofit Patio Doors in San Jose, CA
If you recently moved into a new home or are undergoing home renovations, you might discover that your patio door is inefficient, damaged, or malfunctioning. When this happens, you don't necessarily need to replace the entire door. Blossom Hill Glass can inspect the quality, age, and performance of the existing door frame and determine if retrofit solutions are possible. A retrofit patio door is a new door unit that is installed into your existing frame. We won't need to remove and replace the old frame, but we will install an updated door slab and patio door glass. The process is less time-consuming, disruptive, and expensive, but can still solve most issues with older doors. Call now to get an estimate for retrofit patio doors in San Jose, CA, and throughout the Bay Area.
When & Why You May Need Retro-Fit Patio Door Solutions
While some door issues may require a full patio door replacement, in many cases, we can help customers save money by offering retrofit door solutions. You might consider a retrofit if you want to address:
- Reduced Energy Efficiency – If you feel cold drafts around the door in the winter, experience an increase in heat gain in the summer, or see condensation between the panes of glass, you should consider a retrofit.
- Performance & Operation Issues – If you have trouble opening and closing or locking the door, a retrofit offers a cost-effective solution.
- Wear & Tear or Damage – If you see signs of wear and tear or damage to the lock, handle, glass, or other components, we may not need to replace the entire door. A retrofit installation can preserve components that still have years of life left in them while restoring door performance, efficiency, and safety.
- Old Components – Most patio doors last up to 20 years if they are properly installed and maintained. However, some components may fail prematurely and replacing them is typically less expensive than installing an entirely new door.
- Broken Glass – If the patio door glass is cracked, chipped, or damaged but the frame is intact, you can save money with a retrofit.
When Is a Retrofit Possible?
We will inspect your door and test all components to offer our recommendation for retrofit vs. full patio door replacement. A retrofit may be possible if the existing frame, trim, and surrounding wall are in good shape, and there is no sign of rot, insect, or water damage, or decay of the frame or wall.
