Replacement entry doors and patio sliders in Antelope, chosen for security and efficiency, installed under one Solid contract.
Tell us a little about it. We’ll follow up within one business day.
Entry and patio door replacements across Antelope, usually into the existing opening.
A tired front door drags down an otherwise cared-for house, and a slider that needs a shoulder makes the whole back of the home feel closed. Both are single-day problems that people live with for a decade because they assume it means opening up the wall.
Solid replaces entry doors and patio doors as part of our windows and doors work, with the same installers and the same standard of finish.
You get hardware and glass chosen for security and efficiency rather than showroom looks alone, a door hung so it closes with one hand in every season, and trim and threshold details finished properly on both sides of the wall.
Frame, strike and hardware treated as one system.
Thresholds and weatherstripping detailed, not just fitted.
Most replacements need no structural work at all.
Solid replaces exterior doors as part of our windows and doors work: entry doors and patio doors, usually into the opening that is already there. Interior doors and bespoke fabrication are not part of the published scope, so we will not promise them.
01
The front and back doors of the house, replaced for security, for the draught along the floor, or simply because the house deserves better than the one it came with.
02
The opening between the living space and the garden. When a slider sticks, the whole back of the house stops getting used.
03
Most door work needs no structural change at all: the new unit goes into the opening you already have, which is what keeps it a short job.
A solid frame, a long strike plate anchored into framing and a door sitting square in its opening do more than any lock on its own.
Weatherstripping and a properly set threshold are what stop the cold line along the floor that people blame on the room.
An insulated exterior door is a large hole in your wall done properly, and the nearest room notices first.
Interior trim, exterior trim and the threshold all detailed, so the door reads as part of the house rather than inserted into it.
Doors
Entry doors and patio sliders: the openings you walk through.
Windows
Every other opening in the same wall, measured on the same visit.
They are the same wall, the same trades and the same paperwork. Split the work across two years and you pay for the setup twice, and the trim rarely matches.
01
The same installers work through the house opening by opening, so your home is disrupted once rather than twice.
02
Frames, colours and casings specified together. A year apart they never quite line up, and you see it from the street.
03
One written scope covering both, so nothing is measured twice and nothing falls between two quotes.
Already replaced your windows? We will work to what is there. Bring the frame details to the estimate.
Doors are priced per opening, by type and glazing. Most replacements go into the opening that is already there, which is what keeps them short jobs.
Want a range for your own doors? The calculator below takes the door type and the opening count, and updates live.
A new exterior door hung in the opening you already have.
A better door package, or the sliding opening onto the garden.
Three or four panels, or a wall of glass onto the garden.
Figures are planning ranges for the region, not quotes. We price from the actual opening. The consultation is free and there's no obligation.

Your estimate is on its way to our team. We'll reach out shortly to schedule your consultation.
01
A single entry door and a four-panel stacking wall are the same trade and nothing like the same job.
02
How much glass, how many panes, and what coating. On a patio door the glass is most of the price.
03
Multi-point locks, long strike plates and good hinges. The parts nobody photographs are the ones that matter.
04
Rot, a settled header or a frame out of square. Only visible once the old unit is out.
05
Sill pans, flashing, interior casing and exterior patching. The door goes in quickly; making the wall good takes the day.
Design-build means one team owns your whole entryway: the unit, the frame it sits in, the threshold and the trim on both sides of the wall. That's a calmer process for you and a better-hung door in the end. Here's what it looks like day to day.
One plan, one contract, one team accountable end to end.
A real number up front, no vague ballparks or surprise change orders.
CSLB #975441, Class B general contractor. Specialty trades are performed by licensed Class C subcontractors, held to one quality standard.
Smarter storage, better light and a layout planned around your routines.
Permits, plan review and inspections are on us, not you.
We stand behind the build long after the final walkthrough.
Six deliberate phases, one team carrying the work from a napkin sketch to the final walkthrough, each stage building on the last. Tap any phase to see exactly what we handle.
The starting point
Every project follows this path. Yours starts with a conversation.
Antelope’s 1990s builder sliders are past their seals and rollers. Replaced in the same opening, usually inside a day.
The first handshake your house gives anyone, upgraded, and weathertight with it.
Multi-panel sliding and stacking systems, with the structural work handled as part of the same job.
Security lives in the frame, not the lock: long strike plates anchored into framing, not into trim.
Priced from the opening rather than the door, because the opening is what decides the work. Replacing like for like is a day; changing the opening is a different job.
| Door | Installed in Antelope | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Entry door in the existing opening | $2,400–$4,200 | About a day |
| Upgraded entry: multi-point lock, Low-E glazing | $4,600–$8,500 | One to two days |
| Patio slider, two panel | $4,600–$8,500 | One to two days |
| Multi-panel slider or a wall of glass | $10,000+ | Two to four days |
Installed means the door, the hardware, the flashing and the haul-away. Replacing a patio slider in Antelope runs about $4,600–$8,500, usually in a day or two. Like-for-like replacement typically needs no permit; changing the size of an opening is structural and pulls a Sacramento County permit, which we carry.
Doors are priced from the actual opening, not from a catalogue. Six things decide whether yours is a day or a different job altogether.
Priced from the actual opening.
No commitment, no fee. You get the condition of the frame, whether the opening can stay as it is, and an honest range for each door that fits it.
This is a great opportunity not only to feel the materials, but also to get an idea or some inspiration.
You have probably seen most of it on a screen. Every cabinet, countertop, tile, and fixture Solid Construction & Design works with is there to touch and compare.
The showroom covers 28,000 square feet inside the Filco Superstore on Fulton Avenue, which makes it the largest design and appliance showroom in Northern California.
Bring a floor plan, a photo off your phone, or just an idea. A designer will pull samples with you and keep the choices within what you planned to spend.

Straight answers on which doors we replace, whether the opening changes, where security actually comes from, comfort, doing doors with windows, and what doors in Antelope cost.
Exterior doors: entry doors and patio doors, including sliding glass. Interior doors and bespoke door fabrication aren't part of the published scope, so we won't promise them here.
Usually not. Most replacements go into the existing opening, which is what keeps a door swap a short job. If the frame or header has moved we'll tell you before, not during.
The parts you don't see. A solid frame, a long strike plate anchored into framing, good hardware and a door that sits square in the opening matter far more than the lock brand on the box.
Yes. A modern exterior door with proper weatherstripping and an insulated core stops the draught along the floor that most people blame on the room itself.
That's usually the sensible way: same contractor, one schedule, one scope, and the trim details end up matching.
Doors are priced per opening. An entry door into its existing opening runs $2,400–$4,200 fitted, about $4,800–$8,400 for a front and back door done together. An upgraded entry or a patio slider runs $4,600–$8,500 per opening. Large-format and multi-panel glass starts at $10,000 per opening, and the largest walls of glass run well above that. If the frame or threshold needs repair, or the opening has to be resized, expect up to 60% on the top end. Use the calculator above for your own openings.
Completely free, with no obligation. We'll visit your home, talk through your goals and budget, and follow up with clear next steps.
Both are holes in a wall that have to be measured, flashed and sealed properly. One measure, one schedule, one contractor, and nothing priced twice.
Measured at the same time
Every opening measured individually, with the Low-E glass matched to the elevation it sits on rather than ordered in one batch.
A door is how that starts
Turning the garage into living space on the house, and an honest answer about whether you actually want a garage ADU instead.
If the wall is coming off anyway
Fibre cement, insulated vinyl and engineered wood, plus the insulation that is only cheap while the wall is open.
