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.

Hansons

★★★★★ 4.4 [Google (4,230 reviews)](https://www.google.com/maps/search/Hansons) as of August 2026

Great Lakes multi-trade specialist installs patio doors alongside its windows, bath, and roofing lines.

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

Hansons installs entry and patio doors under the same four-tier Smart Choice warranty system used across its other trades, and reviews specifically describing patio door installs are largely positive on crew professionalism and a same-day quality check. A smaller number of reviews flag doors arriving shorter than the ordered size without advance notice, so confirm your exact door dimensions are documented in writing before installation day.
