Today, the local roof replacement and patio door installation pros of A&A Services Home Improvement answer some frequently asked questions about patio doors.

Q: What are the advantages of a hinged patio door?

A traditional hinged patio door offers an elegant design element. When both panels are fully opened, you have a very wide opening, which is convenient if you’re bringing large pices of furniture inside your home or allowing your guests to pass in and out. Since it doesn’t slide on a track, the bottom of the doorway is less noticeable.

Q: What are the advantages of a sliding patio door?

A sliding patio door has sleek, narrow frames to provide a more contemporary look for any home style. This feature also allows for more glass, which means more sunlight and picturesque outdoor views. The panels slide horizontally on a track, making it a great addition if you have limited interior space.

Q: Can either patio door be customized?

Depending on the manufacturer or the door and roof replacement company, you can take advantage of the many available custom options that allow you to design your patio door or choice. Pick from a wide range of interior and exterior colors, beautiful hardware, and grilles. Adding sidelights and transom windows further enhances the appearance of your patio door.

“I chose A&A Services for a roof replacement. Rick came out to provide the initial estimate and from then on guided me through the whole process. He was great to work with. No pressure at any time and I was notified every step of the way. No surprises. Aurel and the roofing crew were great too! My roof looks beautiful and more importantly, my house is dry inside! Highly recommend!!”

“A&A did a very nice job at my house replacing the gutters and downspouts and the main roof and many smaller ones and also the garage roof. They came on time, did a professional job and cleaned up nice when the project was complete. I would definitely use them again.”
