Sliding & French Door Installation

The right door changes how a space feels — sliding and French doors done correctly make the difference between a feature and a frustration.

Sliding and French doors are two of the most impactful exterior upgrades a homeowner can make. They open up a space, improve natural light, and create a cleaner connection between your interior and your outdoor area. But they are also two of the most installation-dependent products in exterior work. A sliding door that is even slightly off its track will stick, rattle, and wear out its hardware prematurely. A French door that is not plumb and square will gap at the center, lose its seal, and develop latch problems within a season. At Bradco Exteriors, we understand what these installations actually require and we do not cut corners on the details that determine how the door performs long term.

We install both sliding glass doors and French doors across the greater Birmingham area — handling the full scope from removing the existing opening to framing, setting the new unit, aligning the panels, and sealing the perimeter correctly. Whether you are replacing an old sliding door in Hoover that has been giving you trouble for years or adding a set of French doors to a back wall in Mountain Brook, our team approaches every installation with the same level of precision. The frame condition, the threshold, the panel alignment, and the locking system all get the attention they need before we call the job complete.

Both door styles take real wear from Alabama's heat, humidity, and UV exposure over time — and the materials and installation methods we use account for that. If you are ready to replace a door that is past its life or add sliding or French doors to your home, call (877) 327-4348 and Randy will come out, assess the opening in person, and give you a written estimate with no pressure and no obligation.

What We Offer:

Sliding Glass Door Installation – We install sliding glass doors with proper track alignment, panel fit, and threshold sealing so the door glides smoothly and seals correctly every time it closes.
French Door Installation – We install French door sets plumb, square, and level — with correct center seal alignment, proper hinge placement, and locking hardware set to operate the way it should.
Full Opening Preparation – Whether we are replacing an existing door or working with a new opening, we assess and prepare the frame, threshold, and surrounding structure before the new door goes in.
Panel & Glass Seal Integrity – Every sliding and French door installation includes proper glazing seal checks around all glass panels to prevent moisture intrusion and energy loss at the glass edges.
Multi-Point Locking System Installation – For French doors especially, multi-point locking systems provide better security and better seal compression along the full door height. We install and align these systems correctly so they engage properly.
Weatherstripping & Perimeter Sealing – Every installation includes correct weatherseal placement along the full frame perimeter — the detail that determines whether the door actually keeps air and moisture out.
Old Door Removal & Disposal – We remove your existing door and frame materials completely and take everything with us. Your space is clean and ready to use when we leave.

Why Choose Bradco Exteriors for Sliding & French Door Installation

Precision Installation on Every Job – Sliding and French doors are unforgiving when installation is off. Randy's team measures and sets every unit with the precision these door styles require — correct track alignment for sliding doors, plumb and square framing for French doors, and proper seal compression on both.
Full Scope From Start to Finish – We handle the complete installation including frame preparation, door setting, panel alignment, hardware, and perimeter sealing. There are no loose ends left when we finish a job, and no details you have to follow up on after we leave.
Frame Assessment Before Every Installation – The frame condition determines how a sliding or French door performs over time. We inspect every opening before the new door goes in and address any damage or structural issues first — because a quality door on a compromised frame is a short-term fix at best.
Written Estimates Before Any Work Starts – You get a detailed written quote covering the full scope before anything is agreed to. The number we give you is the number you pay — no line items that shift once the project is underway.
Free In-Home Estimates Across Birmingham – Randy comes out to your home in Birmingham, Hoover, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, or anywhere in our service area, looks at the opening in person, and gives you a straight assessment of what the job involves. Call (877) 327-4348 to get scheduled.
