With the year round hot to warm weather in the Flagstaff, AZ, area, patio doors tend to get a lot of use throughout all seasons. Even without frequent use, these doors can start to have problems, which can impact your ability to keep your home comfortable and to use the door when needed.
The key signs to look for that indicates you need a patio door replacement Flagstaff AZ include:
- Gaps around the top and bottom of the door – depending on the type of patio doors, there may be visible gaps on the bottom or the top of the door. With French doors, this is more common, while with the sliding doors, it is most likely there are gaps along the edges where the door connects to the frame. These gaps allow cold air out and hot air in, adding to energy bills throughout the year.

Peeling paint, scratches, dents, and dings, as well as paint or material that has faded due to UV exposure, are all signs you need to consider patio door replacement.
- Difficulty opening or closing – sliding types of patio doors as well as French doors can become difficult to open or close due to shifting foundations or warping of the door frame.
