We are planning to install a sliding patio door on our garden extension.  The sliding door would replace a 30″ regular entry door and a small window next to the existing door.  So the job would require some reframing in the rear wall.  Also, an electrical outlet and light switch would need to be moved.  The exterior of the extension is aluminum siding that would need to be cut and adjusted.  Any recommendations on a contractor or handyman to do this?  I got a quote from a window/door company, but they can’t do the electrical work, and I’d prefer to hire someone that can do everything so I don’t have to manage multiple contractors.  Quality is more important than cost, partcularly since the existing wall may include some rotting wood that makes the work more complex.  Thanks in advance!

The question is why? Sliding doors are leakier and more troublesome than a swinging door, and don’t look as good. Having a window next to the door makes it good for ventilation (and a/c if you use one.) I wish I could change the balky sliding doors in my ground floor apt for your configuration!

This is a warning to anyone looking to use Kennedy Renovation Company! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! We have been scammed by Jeff Kennedy and he has taken our 50% deposit without installing our windows for our brownstone. He was responsive in the beginning (July 2013), even offering to do all the paperwork with Landmarks to obtain the permit to replace the windows. He was so confident that we would be quickly approved that he even stated, in writing, that the deposit is refundable in the event of permit denial. He gave us updates and assured us of his high standards to let us know that he was dissatisfied with the quality of the windows and had to re-order them, but after weeks of excuses, we followed up with Landmarks, who had no records of his application. After confronting him about this, he sent us emails of his frustrations with LPC (even though he mailed the application in, not hand-delivering as they requested) and then eventually stopped responding to us for updates. We have requested our refund back numerous times and we have not heard back from him since November 2013\. His landline and cell phone are now disconnected.

Patio doors are one of the extremely popular choice for house door now a days. Convenient access and providing interior with natural light is it’s main advantage. With multi-point locking it provides high level of security. Modern [patio doors are very much energy efficient](//www.windowchoice.ca/patio-doors) and prevents air leakages. A sliding patio door consist of two or more individual panels, at least one of which slides in a roller. The sliding panel rolls parallel to the wall so that it takes very little space as possible. With all it’s advantages a sliding door can cause some trouble if it, like if dirt is present in rollers or some debris falls in there, rolling of the door will be obstructed. One should keep track of the rollers which will wear out in time. To do a work such as this, you should find a reliable company and enquire about their terms and conditions.
