French doors are the classic patio doors. They have graced homes for centuries and still evoke an Old World nostalgia. French patio doors allow in a lot of natural light while being extremely functional, but their main claim to fame is aesthetic value. French doors typically have glass panes that make up most of the door.
These doors can swing either outward or inward, and therefore require space to open and close. This means that they do not work for every home. If you’re unsure whether you have the space for a French door, the professionals at Prestige Windows & Doors can take measurements and provide you with advice during an initial free consultation.

For this large investment, you need to work with professionals that truly know what they’re doing. Prestige Windows & Doors has a process in place to ensure that your door replacement project goes smoothly. Here’s what to expect during your next window upgrade.
Every great installation starts with a comprehensive understanding of your space. During the initial site assessment, our team inspects the current door openings and surrounding structures for size, material condition, and potential challenges. We take exact measurements and assess factors like threshold alignment, wall thickness, and weatherproofing needs. We’ll also discuss design options, hardware preferences, and security enhancements to ensure your new door is not only a perfect fit, but also a beautiful and functional upgrade. This detailed prep ensures that every custom order is precise and ready for flawless installation.
When your new door is ready to be installed, our experienced crew arrives fully prepared. To protect your home or business, we cover adjacent flooring, furniture, and entry paths with protective materials. We also remove any existing door hardware or framing as needed, with utmost care to avoid damage to surrounding finishes. Our installers confirm the measurements and product specifications again onsite before proceeding. This stage is all about preparation, precision and setting the stage for a seamless installation process while respecting your space every step of the way.
With the workspace prepped, we proceed with the removal of the old door (if applicable), carefully uninstalling the frame, trim, and hardware. The new hurricane-rated door is then expertly fitted and secured into place. We use premium fasteners, high-performance weather stripping, and precise shimming techniques to ensure the door operates smoothly and seals tightly against wind and moisture. From solid entry doors to custom sliders or French doors, every installation is executed with close attention to structural integrity, aesthetics, and performance, ensuring long-lasting durability and security.
After the door is securely installed, our team handles all finishing touches with care. This includes reattaching or replacing trim, sealing gaps with waterproof caulking, and thoroughly cleaning the work area. We test the door’s operation, locks, and alignment to ensure everything is functioning perfectly. Once complete, we provide a final walkthrough with you to review the installation and demonstrate proper use and maintenance. We’ll answer any remaining questions and leave your home spotless, with a door that enhances both the look and safety of your property.
