Renewal by Andersen

★★★★★ 4.9 [Google (6,296 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/search/Renewal+by+Andersen) as of August 2026

Fibrex® entry and sliding patio doors from the #1 J.D. Power-rated window company, backed by the same lifetime warranty as their windows.

![Remy](/images/remy/face-6aa3719e.png) Remy's Take

Renewal by Andersen's Fibrex composite construction extends to its entry and patio door lines, and reviews that specifically call out door installations echo the window feedback — installers are frequently praised for punctuality, cleanup, and fit. A recurring caveat on patio doors involves water intrusion in the tracks or wind leakage after a few years, which owners report gets resolved through RbA's warranty service calls, though response times vary by which local affiliate handles your installation. As with their windows, expect a premium price point reflected in premium materials and a full-service installation process.

## Why Does Door Replacement Cost What It Does in Modesto?

Installed cost in Modesto runs roughly **3% above** the national average for this trade. That figure is not a cost-of-living index — it is built from Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data for the Modesto, CA metro area, weighted by the roughly **20%** of a door replacement job that is labor rather than material.

Local trade wages sit about **14% above** the national figure, but the installed price moves less than that, because material ships at national prices no matter where you live. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect — and why a suspiciously cheap quote in an expensive market is worth a second look.
