Door Replacement Austin
Pella Rookie of the Year 2025 • Austin’s Only Certified RAM Installer
Your front door is the first thing people see. Your patio door is how you connect your living room to the backyard. And if either one is sticking, drafting, or just plain ugly, you notice it every single day.
Old Soul Windows & Doors replaces entry doors, patio doors, sliding glass doors, and French doors for homeowners across the Austin area. We carry premium brands, we install everything ourselves, and we don’t waste your time with high-pressure sales tactics. You get honest advice, a clear quote, and a door that works the way it should.
What Types of Doors Can You Replace?
We replace virtually every exterior door type found in Austin homes — entry doors, patio doors, sliding glass doors, French doors, and multi-slide systems. Whether you’re swapping a single front door that’s seen better days or converting a fixed wall into a wide-opening glass panel system, we handle the full scope.
Most homeowners come to us for one of four reasons: the door doesn’t close right anymore, it’s leaking air or water, it looks outdated, or they want to completely change how a room connects to the outdoors. All four are valid. All four are fixable.
If you’re not sure what your home needs, that’s exactly what the free consultation is for. We’ll look at your existing doors, talk through your goals, and recommend the right products — no commitment required.
How Much Does Door Replacement Cost in Austin?
Door replacement costs in Austin depend on the door type, material, size, and whether any structural modifications are needed. Here are realistic ranges for the most common projects:
Entry doors: $1,500-$5,000+. A standard fiberglass or steel entry door with hardware and professional installation falls in the $1,500 to $3,000 range. High-end wood or custom doors with sidelights and transoms push north of $5,000.
Patio and sliding glass doors: $2,000-$8,000+. Standard two-panel sliding doors start around $2,000. Larger multi-slide or lift-and-slide systems with premium glass and hardware reach $8,000 or more.
French doors: $2,500-$6,000+. The classic double-door configuration with tempered glass panels and quality hardware. Pricing varies with material, glass options, and whether your existing opening needs to be widened.
These numbers include removal of the old door, installation of the new one, weathersealing, hardware, and cleanup. If your opening needs to be resized, framed, or reinforced, structural work adds to the total — but we’ll identify that upfront during your free consultation so there are no surprises.
We also offer financing options for homeowners who want to spread the cost over time.
Entry Doors -- Make a First Impression
Your front door sets the tone for your entire home. A faded, dented, or warped entry door tells visitors — and potential buyers — that the house hasn’t been kept up. A solid, well-fitted entry door says the opposite.
Beyond curb appeal, your entry door is a critical point for security, insulation, and weather protection. Older doors with worn weatherstripping, loose frames, or single-pane glass panels leak conditioned air and let Austin’s heat pour in. A properly insulated entry door with multi-point locking hardware and weathertight seals changes how the entire foyer feels.
We install entry doors in fiberglass, steel, and wood from brands like Pella and Marvin. Fiberglass is the most popular choice — it won’t rot, warp, or dent, and it can be finished to look like real wood grain. Steel is the most affordable and the most secure. Wood is the premium option for homeowners who want authentic warmth and craftsmanship.
Common entry door upgrades we handle:
- Replacing a plain slab door with a door and sidelight combination
- Upgrading from a hollow-core builder door to an insulated fiberglass unit
- Adding a transom window above the door for natural light
- Swapping outdated hardware for modern multi-point locking systems
- Custom sizing for non-standard openings in older Lakeway and Austin homes

Hear What Texas Homeowners Have To Say
Patio & Sliding Glass Doors -- Indoor-Outdoor Living
Austin homeowners live outside. If your patio door is hard to slide, foggy between the panes, or leaking air around the frame, it’s turning your favorite room into a frustration.
We replace standard sliding glass doors and also install multi-slide and lift-and-slide systems that open entire walls to the outdoors. These are the projects that transform how a home feels — suddenly your living room extends to the patio, and the backyard becomes part of the entertaining space.
What to look for in a patio door replacement:
Smooth operation. Modern sliding doors on quality tracks glide with one finger. If you’re wrestling your current door open every morning, the track and rollers are shot.
Low-E glass with argon fill. Your patio door is one of the largest glass surfaces in your home. Energy-efficient glass keeps solar heat gain down and your AC bill manageable. In Austin’s climate, this isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Multi-point locking. Older sliding doors have a single latch that can be defeated with a screwdriver. New units lock at multiple points along the frame for real security.
Durable threshold and weathersealing. Water intrusion at the patio door threshold is one of the most common sources of floor damage in Austin homes. Proper flashing and compression seals prevent it.
We carry sliding and patio door systems from Pella, Panoramic Doors, Glass Expanse, and Marvin — from standard two-panel sliders to expansive wall-opening systems.
French Doors -- Classic Elegance
French doors are the choice for homeowners who want a wider opening than a single door and a more traditional look than a sliding panel. Two hinged doors that swing open — inward or outward — with full glass panels and clean sightlines.
They’re popular as patio exits, master bedroom balcony doors, and interior-to-exterior transitions in formal living spaces. They also work beautifully as replacements for aging single patio doors where the homeowner wants more clearance and better symmetry.
We install French doors in fiberglass, wood, and aluminum-clad wood. Every unit includes tempered safety glass, quality hardware, and proper weathersealing for Austin’s heat and occasional heavy rain. Custom sizing and finish options mean your new French doors match your home’s architecture — not the other way around.
Our Door Replacement Process
Door replacement follows the same straightforward process we use for every project:
We visit your home, assess the existing door and frame, take precise measurements, and discuss your goals. Want better security? More natural light? A completely different look? We’ll recommend products that match your priorities and budget. The consultation typically takes 30 to 45 minutes with zero sales pressure.
Once you’ve decided to move forward, we’ll finalize the product, finish, hardware, and glass options. We’ll walk you through samples and specs so you know exactly what you’re getting before anything is ordered.
Your door is ordered to your exact specifications. Lead time is typically 5 to 7 weeks from order to delivery, depending on the manufacturer and product line. We’ll keep you updated throughout.
Our team removes the old door, preps the opening, installs the new unit, applies weathersealing and flashing, mounts the hardware, and adjusts everything for smooth operation. Most single-door replacements take half a day. Larger projects like multi-slide systems or structural modifications may take a full day or two.
We test every door with you — open, close, lock, unlock — and make sure you’re satisfied with the fit, finish, and function. Every installation comes with a minimum 2-year limited warranty from Old Soul, plus the full manufacturer warranty on the product.
Door Brands We Install
We don’t push a single brand. We carry multiple manufacturers so we can match the right door to the right home:
Pella — Full line of entry, patio, and sliding doors. We earned Pella’s Rookie of the Year in 2025 for a reason — we know their product line inside and out.
Marvin — Architectural-grade doors with wood interiors and aluminum-clad exteriors. The premium choice for homeowners who want custom finishes and hardware.
Panoramic Doors — Specialty large-format folding and sliding door systems for dramatic indoor-outdoor transitions.

RAM Windows — Texas-built products engineered for the local climate. Old Soul is the only Certified RAM Installer in Austin.
Every brand we carry has been vetted for quality, warranty support, and performance in Central Texas conditions. If a product doesn’t hold up in 105-degree heat and Austin’s clay soil movement, we don’t sell it.
