Garland Window Replacement provides professional french doors in Garland, TX for residential and commercial properties across eastern Dallas County. French doors have the failure that no other door in the house has. They meet each other in the middle with no jamb between them, so everything depends on a strip of hardware and a threshold staying dead straight through a Texas year.
That centre joint is the astragal, and it is where storm damage on a french door usually shows up second. Hail breaks a lite, somebody boards the opening, the doors get forced and unforced for a week, and the astragal ends up bent or the flush bolts stop dropping cleanly into the head and sill. Six weeks later the complaint is a draft, and by then it looks like wear rather than storm work.
So the inspection covers both leaves even when only one broke. We check that the flush bolts seat, that the multipoint lock throws all its points without lifting the handle hard, that the reveal at the meeting stiles is even top to bottom, and that the doors are not sitting on the astragal weatherstrip. Any of those failing after a storm belongs in the file with the glass.
Glass in a french door is almost always tempered, because the code requires safety glazing in doors and in the panels beside them. A door with divided lites complicates that, since replacing a single small pane in a true divided-lite door is joinery work while a simulated divided-lite door takes a whole new insulated unit with the bars applied. Which one you own changes the price by a wide margin.
Swing direction is a decision people make too quickly. Out-swing doors seal better against wind-driven rain because the weatherstrip compresses rather than releases under pressure, and they free up floor space inside. They also expose their hinges to the exterior, which needs non-removable pins, and they need clear space on a patio that furniture usually occupies.
In a hail market there is one more consideration. An out-swing leaf catches ice on the face and the glass takes the hit square, while an in-swing leaf under a deep overhang is largely protected. If the doors are on an exposed elevation with no cover, that is an argument for laminated glass in those two lites rather than in the rest of the house.
Sag is the failure of last resort. A french door pair that has dropped will show it at the top of the meeting stiles first, and the fix is at the hinges and the header rather than at the doors. Planing a door to fit a sagging opening buys one season and costs the seal permanently, so we do not do it.
Quotes cover the slab or the lite, the astragal and flush bolts, the multipoint hardware, the threshold and the weatherstrip as separate items, with photographs of the hardware condition included. On a claim that lets the storm items stand on their own, and it keeps the maintenance items honest.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — annealed outboard lites replaced with heat-strengthened glass, spall chips and bruise marks along the glazing bead, roll-formed aluminum cladding dented at the sightline, 18 by 16 insect mesh and heavier pet-grade screen cloth, convex spline rollers and rescreened frames, argon loss and desiccant dust behind a broken edge seal — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Garland and nearby communities including Mesquite, Balch Springs, Seagoville, Sunnyvale.

Materials, equipment and how we do french doors
The difference between french doors that lasts and french doors that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with annealed outboard lites replaced with heat-strengthened glass, spall chips and bruise marks along the glazing bead, roll-formed aluminum cladding dented at the sightline, 18 by 16 insect mesh and heavier pet-grade screen cloth, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Garland job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in eastern Dallas County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Garland Chooses Garland Window Replacement
- ✓Every damaged opening is photographed with a scale and an opening number before anything is removed, because a claim file cannot be rebuilt once the glass is on a trailer.
- ✓Estimates are ordered the way an adjuster reads them, with glass, sash, hardware, screen and labor on separate lines rather than a single price for the house.
- ✓We identify the existing glass build from the spacer, the coating and the tempering bug, so the replacement is genuinely like for like and the estimate says so.
- ✓Where an upgrade is what you want, the baseline the policy owes and the delta you are paying appear as two numbers rather than one.
