A 2-panel sliding glass door runs $3,500 to $10,000, and a 3-panel slider runs $7,000 to $16,000. French doors run $4,500 to $14,000. Multi-slide systems that open entire walls run $18,000 to $80,000+. All prices include the door, frame, trim, weatherstripping, threshold, hardware, and finish work. Financing: 6.99% APR for 180 months or 0% APR for 18 months.
Doors do more work per dollar than almost anything else on your home's exterior. A great front door changes the curb appeal of the entire elevation. A large sliding patio door turns your back yard into an extension of the living room. A multi-slide system can open an entire wall to the outdoor kitchen and pool. And every door, well-installed, seals tightly against Texas heat and rain for 30 to 40 years.
JP Exteriors is an authorized installer for every major door brand we recommend: ProVia, Marvin, Pella, Andersen, and Masonite. We bring samples to every estimate so you can compare slab construction, glass packages, hardware finishes, and stain colors side by side before committing.
2026 Door Cost Breakdown
Doors are quoted per unit because most homeowners replace one or a few rather than the whole exterior at once. Each price includes the door, frame, trim, weatherstripping, threshold, hardware, and finish work, start to finish.
Door Type | 2026 Cost Range | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
Steel Entry Door | $2,500 to $6,000 | 20 to 30 years |
Fiberglass Entry Door (Masonite, ProVia Basic) | $4,000 to $9,000 | 30+ years |
Premium Front Door (ProVia, Marvin, Pella) | $7,000 to $17,000 | 40+ years |
Sliding Glass Door 6x8 to 8x8 (2-Panel) | $3,500 to $10,000 | 25 to 40 years |
Sliding Glass Door 9x8 to 12x8 (3-Panel) | $7,000 to $16,000 | 25 to 40 years |
French Door (Single or Double) | $4,500 to $14,000 | 30+ years |
Multi-Slide Door (Marvin Elevate, Bonelli, Pella Reserve) | $18,000 to $80,000+ | 40+ years |
Entry Door Cost in Austin & San Antonio
The biggest curb-appeal investment per dollar in any exterior remodel is the front door. A premium ProVia or Marvin fiberglass entry door at $7,000 to $17,000 transforms a home's first impression more dramatically than thousands of dollars of paint or landscaping. The three tiers most Austin and San Antonio homeowners consider:
Steel Entry Doors
$2,500 to $6,000. The budget tier. Insulated steel slabs with a wood-grain or smooth finish. Affordable upfront and structurally sound, but the steel skin dents under impact and the bottom rail can rust over time in our humidity. Best for side and back doors where the look matters less than the price.
Fiberglass Entry Doors
$4,000 to $9,000. The mainstream choice for Austin and San Antonio front doors. Better insulating value than steel, no dents, no rust, paints and stains beautifully, and a 30+ year service life. Masonite and the ProVia Heritage line dominate this tier.
Premium Front Doors
$7,000 to $17,000. Premium fiberglass or wood from ProVia Signet, Marvin, or Pella. Heavier construction, deeper detailing, custom glass options, and finish-grade stain work. The right call for Westlake, Tarrytown, Alamo Heights, and any home where the front door anchors the architecture.
Sliding Glass Patio Door Cost
The sliding glass patio door is the connective tissue between indoor living and the Texas back yard. In 2026, we increasingly quote upsized 9x8 and 12x8 three-panel systems on Hill Country and Stone Oak homes. Homeowners want a bigger opening to the back porch, the pool, and the outdoor kitchen.
A standard 2-panel slider in vinyl or aluminum-clad at 6x8 or 8x8 runs $3,500 to $10,000, which is the right call for typical suburban homes in Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Hutto, and Buda. Three-panel sliders at 9x8 to 12x8 run $7,000 to $16,000, with the high-end Marvin and Pella Reserve aluminum systems landing at the top of that range.
Going further, multi-slide stacking systems open entire walls to the outdoor living area. Marvin Elevate, Bonelli, and Pella Reserve multi-slide systems run $18,000 to $80,000+ depending on opening size and panel count. These are increasingly common in Lakeway, Steiner Ranch, Spicewood, and the high-end Stone Oak / Boerne corridors.
French Door Cost
French doors (a single hinged unit or two hinged panels meeting in the middle) run $4,500 to $14,000 in 2026 depending on material and glass package. French doors are the classic choice for traditional and farmhouse architecture in Westlake, Tarrytown, Olmos Park, and the Cedar Park and Round Rock farmhouse rebuilds. They deliver more architectural detail than a slider but a smaller actual opening, since the hinged panels swing in or out rather than sliding aside.
Fiberglass French doors with simulated divided lites land at the low end of the range. Wood French doors with true divided lites or specialty glass land at the high end. Out-swing versus in-swing matters for Texas weather, since out-swing doors seal better against driving rain but require clearance on the exterior side.
Hardware, Finishes & Smart Locks
Hardware is the detail that finishes a door, and it's where many projects either elevate or fall flat. Most door budgets we quote include builder-grade hardware (Schlage, Kwikset). Upgrading to premium hardware adds $200 to $1,500 per door depending on the brand and finish selected.
Upgrade | Typical Add | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Premium Hardware (Emtek, Baldwin, Rocky Mountain) | $300 to $1,500 | Heavier feel, premium finishes, longer warranty |
Smart Lock / Keyless Entry (Schlage Encode, Yale, Level) | $200 to $800 | App control, code-based access, Wi-Fi or Z-Wave |
Multi-Point Lock (front entry doors) | $400 to $1,200 | Three locking points (top, middle, bottom). Stronger seal and security. |
Custom Stain Finish | $300 to $900 | Hand-applied stain on fiberglass or wood. Color-matched to existing trim. |
Speakeasy or Glass Insert Upgrade | $400 to $2,500 | Decorative glass, leaded glass, or speakeasy view ports |
What Moves Your 2026 Door Price
1. Door Type & Configuration
A standard 36" entry door is a fundamentally different install from a 12-foot 3-panel slider or a 20-foot multi-slide system. Configuration drives the budget more than any other factor.
2. Material & Brand Tier
Steel, fiberglass, wood, and premium aluminum-clad each occupy different price points. Brand tier within each material also moves the number, sometimes by 50% or more.
3. Glass Package
Full glass, half lite, three-quarter lite, sidelights, transoms, and decorative glass all add cost. Low-E and tempered glass are standard for safety and energy. Custom glass and leaded inserts add meaningfully more.
4. Existing Opening Condition
If the existing frame is sound and we're swapping the door slab, the install runs quickly. If the existing frame is rotted, undersized, or out of plumb (common in 1970s and 1980s Central Texas homes), we resize and reframe, which adds scope.
5. Hardware Selection
As detailed above, premium hardware can add 10 to 25% to a typical entry door budget. It's a worthwhile upgrade for the front door specifically. Builder-grade is fine for side and back doors.
6. Trim & Finish
Brick mold, casing, sidelights, transoms, and stain or paint work all add scope. For a premium front door project, the trim work is often where the budget actually grows.
Brand Notes: ProVia, Marvin, Pella, Masonite
ProVia
ProVia leads our entry-door installs for a reason. The Heritage and Signet fiberglass lines combine deep panel detailing, factory-applied stain that holds up in Texas sun, multi-point locking on premium models, and industry-best warranties. ProVia is the brand we recommend most often for premium front doors in the $7,000 to $14,000 range.
Marvin
Marvin's strength on the door side is in patio and multi-slide systems. The Elevate sliding and bi-fold doors are aluminum-clad on the exterior with wood interiors, which delivers maintenance-free outside and warm finish-grade inside. The right pick for Hill Country custom homes opening to outdoor living.
Pella
Pella sliding patio and Reserve multi-slide systems are popular in modern transitional homes in Mueller, East Austin, and the newer Stone Oak corridors. The Lifestyle Series patio doors are a strong mid-tier choice for suburban homes.
Masonite
Masonite is the value tier of fiberglass entry doors. It delivers strong fiberglass slab construction at a more affordable price point than ProVia Signet. Good for side and back doors, and for budget-conscious front door replacements.
2026 Door Pricing by Service Area
Door pricing holds steady across our Central Texas footprint with the standard mobilization adjustments at the edges. Here are local context pages:
Austin Metro Notes
Austin door demand splits across two patterns. First, front door upgrades on existing homes from Central Austin (Hyde Park, Travis Heights, Crestview) through suburban Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Pflugerville. Most of these are fiberglass entry doors in the $4,000 to $9,000 range with smart lock add-ons. Second, multi-slide and large patio door installations for Hill Country custom homes in Westlake, Lakeway, Spicewood, Steiner Ranch, and Marble Falls, which routinely land in the $25,000 to $60,000 range for the door system alone.
San Antonio Metro Notes
San Antonio's door market mirrors Austin's, with the highest-end concentration in Stone Oak, Shavano Park, Alamo Heights, Olmos Park, and the Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch corridors. The older neighborhoods (Alamo Heights, Monte Vista, Terrell Hills) frequently need full-frame replacement on entry doors, since 1930s through 1960s framing can be irregular. Pricing tracks Austin within roughly 5%.

Why JP Exteriors for Doors
Door installation looks simple from the outside. It's not. A door slab that isn't shimmed correctly will rack and bind. A frame that isn't plumbed inside an eighth of an inch will leak air. A threshold that isn't flashed properly will rot the subfloor inside two years. We bring three things to every door project:
- Authorized installer for every major brand. ProVia, Marvin, Pella, Andersen, and Masonite. We bring the right product to your home, not the one with the best dealer margin.
- In-house installation crews. Every door we install is hung by a JP Exteriors employee, never subbed out to a day-laborer crew.
- Lifetime workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties cover the door slab and frame. Our warranty covers the installation for as long as you own the home.
