Why Replace Your Patio Door?
If your existing patio door is sticking, letting in drafts, or simply outdated in appearance, replacing it can make a noticeable difference. Our modern vinyl sliding patio doors are designed for durability, energy efficiency, and year-round comfort, without compromising on style. Here’s why homeowners throughout Springfield are choosing Sutton’s for their patio door upgrades:
1. Energy Efficiency
Older patio doors can leak air around the edges or through single-pane glass. Our doors feature insulated glass packages and weather-tight seals, helping you maintain consistent indoor temperatures and potentially reduce your energy bills.
2. Smooth Operation
Sticky or hard-to-slide doors are not only frustrating—they’re also a sign of wear and tear. Our patio doors are built to glide effortlessly, even after years of use, thanks to high-quality rollers and track systems tested for performance.
3. Enhanced Views and Natural Light
A new patio door can dramatically change the look and feel of your space. Wider glass panels, slimmer frames, and customized glass options let in more sunlight and offer a clear view of your backyard or garden.
4. Added Security
We install doors that are engineered with multi-point locking systems and reinforced frames, giving you peace of mind while maintaining a clean, streamlined appearance.
5. Aesthetic Upgrade
Your patio door should match your home’s style—inside and out. From frame finishes to hardware options, we help you create a door that’s both functional and visually appealing.
Custom Patio Doors Designed for You
At Sutton’s, patio doors are no longer one-size-fits-all. You now have the freedom to fully customize your new sliding patio door with a wide variety of finishes, colors, glass options, and hardware styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What factors should I consider when selecting a new patio door for my home?
When selecting a new patio door for your home, consider factors such as energy efficiency, material (vinyl, wood, or fiberglass), style compatibility with your home’s architecture, security features, and ease of operation. Energy-efficient doors can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 15%, while robust locking systems enhance safety. Additionally, selecting the right style, such as sliding vs. hinged, can affect both aesthetics and space utilization in your patio area. Ensure you choose a reputable installer like Sutton’s to guarantee quality service and longevity for your investment.
What are the energy efficiency benefits of installing a new patio door?
Installing a new patio door can significantly enhance energy efficiency, leading to lower utility bills and increased comfort. Modern patio doors often feature advanced insulation technologies and low-emissivity (low-e) glass, which helps minimize heat transfer. By preventing drafts and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, new patio doors not only improve the home environment but also contribute to reducing your carbon footprint.
How do I determine whether to repair or replace my existing patio door?
To determine whether to repair or replace your existing patio door, assess the extent of damage and the costs involved. Minor issues like faulty locks or weatherstripping may only require repairs, costing around $100-$300. However, if the door exhibits significant damage, such as rot or warping, or if it is energy-inefficient (which can increase heating and cooling costs by up to 30%), replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. Always consider factors like energy efficiency, security, and aesthetics when making your decision.
