Patio doors
Sliding patio doors take a beating in the Coachella Valley — UV at 110°F, blowing sand in the tracks, slab settling that throws frames out of square. The So Cal Sliding Doors patio-doors archive covers what we see most often on jobs across Palm Springs, La Quinta, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage, and Palm Desert. Read up on roller replacement, bottom-track repair, glass swaps for failed dual-pane seals, multi-panel stacking doors, and indoor-outdoor pocket systems that hide into the wall. Every post comes from our own service work since 1979. We list real price ranges where we can, name brands when relevant (Andersen, Milgard, Western Window Systems, Fleetwood), and flag the moments when a repair makes more sense than a full replacement.
