At Renewal by Andersen of Long Island, we understand replacing your patio doors may be an overlooked part of your remodeling plans. You have a lot to think about when planning your home renovation project. Should you interview and hire a general contractor, meet with interior decorators to pick out new fabric for drapes and upholstery, selecting floor coverings and appliances for the rooms you plan to upgrade. Or should you go the DIY route and invest your nights and weekends for the next several months toward getting it done yourself.

#2 Customized to Perfection: Replacement Patio Doors Complement Every Architectural Style

Modern technology allows homeowners to enjoy energy efficient patio doors for a broad range of building styles from classic and elegant to sleek and contemporary.
Minimalists may prefer simple sliders with a low-profile that don’t attract the eye or interfere with traffic patterns. Others may be looking for something a bit more formal. Perhaps, hinged French-doors that swing-in or swing-out with matching grille patterns to complement other architectural features. No matter what impression you want to project, you can be certain your doors will be a perfect fit since Renewal by Andersen of Long Island replacement doors and windows are custom built to fit the opening left when your existing door or large window is removed.
#3 Light up Your Interior Spaces
Natural light makes your home sparkle and shine. When you don’t have to keep your patio doors dressed in heavy drapes to keep cold air from flowing in during the winter and early spring, you can take advantage of sunlight to accentuate your favorite decorative pieces with natural light. Your house plants won’t go through the winter blahs with more light to promote healthy growth and you may find your mood is better throughout the season. Our bodies crave light, and without enough sunlight every day you may experience mood fluctuations and perpetual sluggishness. Choose trim and frame colors and styles that reflect your personality and your home’s character, but remember, light not only makes your indoor spaces more beautiful, it also has many health benefits for your family.
#4 Replacement Patio Doors Give You Back Your Free Time
Advanced technology and new construction materials, like Fibrex frames, eliminate the need for annual repair and maintenance to prevent or remediate damage from mold, rust, rot, mildew and other moisture damage. Wouldn’t you rather spend your weekends playing golf or playing with your kids and grandkids than scraping, priming, and painting the patio door frames and trim?
#5 Enhancing Your Safety & Security
When an emergency happens, such as a fire inside your home, you need quick exit options. Aging, sagging patio doors that are hard to open can slow you down. Your new patio doors will give you peace of mind. You won’t have to struggle with a door that swells during rainy, high-humidity days or a slider that refuses to glide. Plus, recessed locking mechanisms discourage would be intruders. Want more privacy? Consider a patterned glass that allows the glorious sunlight to come in without allowing people outside to see indoors.
