Sliding patio doors are typically considered the lowest cost door option. So no, we wouldn’t say sliding doors are expensive. There is a difference in price between different materials and brands. For example, a high-quality vinyl door will always be less expensive than a high-quality wood door with or without cladding.
As you begin your search for new patio doors, get a few bids so that you can compare the cost between different companies, especially if they offer the same product. Be careful with your online research as well, sometimes customers on message boards mention products by brands but don’t specify what the specific product is which can lead to confusion.
A couple of final things to watch out for as you compare bids is the type of warranties offered and what’s included in the installation process (removal of existing door, trash removal, permits, etc).
