Is sliding glass door replacement hard for non-experienced home owners?
Have you ever tried to replace a sliding glass door? It can be a hard DIY project and most homeowners have zero experience. Especially if you want to install a PGT sliding glass door. They may be beautiful doors and provide high energy efficiency ratings, but they are heavy and bulky. For most homeowners, the sliding glass door replacement process is too complicated.

Let me explain the replacement sliding glass door process.
First you have to measure your opening. You’ll need a tape measure! Find your rough opening width by measuring the distance between the studs, and the height by measuring floor to beam. Then it’s time to find your sliding glass door. Sometimes you can get lucky and find one already manufactured to your specifications.
We order PGT sliding glass doors and often do have a few overstock inventory available. You can check out our inventory or contact Home Depot. If you can find a door pre-made that will fit your opening, you can proceed with your project immediately. Currency custom orders for PGT have a manufacturing time of anywhere from 8 to 12 months (as of July 1). Don’t let any company tell you differently!
Do you really want to DIY a sliding glass door replacement?
Taking out your sliding glass door is harder than you think. Depending on how it was originally installed, you may need to cut it away from the wall or flooring. For those with no experience, there are various YouTube videos you can reference for tips on taking out your sliding glass door. If you have a pocket sliding glass door, it’s even more complicated. Do you own a reciprocating saw?
