Patio Door Replacement Costs
Let's dig a bit deeper into why patio doors replacement costs are so all over the board. Specifically, into how private company bids work, the size of the company you hire, and where you live.
Private Company Bids
The biggest reason is this: local companies are free to bid out whatever projects at whatever price they see fit. This means that half of your bids aren't going to be reasonable enough to consider. Therefore, you'll want to toss these out in favor of the bids that are in the acceptable price range. However, if you don't collect a number of bids, you're taking a big chance of getting taken to the cleaners by certain local window and door companies.
Bottom Line: Collecting a handful of bids let's you toss the ridiculous bids and concentrate on the reasonable one.
Size Of The Company
Larger (and/or well known) window and door companies often charge higher than normal prices. This is either because they have high overhead costs or they have enough business to justify these higher than normal prices. However, some consumers like the security of going with a more established company and are happy to pay more for the security and warranty that they might receive. Conversely, smaller door installation companies will often charge lower installation rates. As long as these companies maintain good to great online reviews, you are good to go and will often save some of your hard earned money.
Bottom Line: The larger the company, the higher the price, but maybe the better reputation.
Where You Live
Typically, the more rural the location, the less expensive the patio door installation costs. The cost of the door itself is going to be the same regardless of where you live. Alternatively, if you live in a big city like Chicago or New York, the cost of living is higher and therefore the installation costs will be higher.
Bottom Line: Urban locations means higher installation costs.
Patio Door Warranties
Typically, a one to two year labor warranty is acceptable from any installation company as the overwhelmingly installation warranty issues crop up in the first. Most patio sliders and French doors will carry a 20 year warranty on the frame, glass, components and parts. Not always the case, but a good rule of thumb. Many installers offers a one, two, or five year warranty on the labor portion - meaning they will cover the labor cost of replacing a door with a manufacturing defect (or install problem).
Cost Of The Doors
The general rule of thumb for doors and windows is that the installation accounts for one third of the total price tag. The patio door itself will account for the remaining two thirds of patio door prices.

Recommended List Of Patio Doors
Hey Dane, I saw one of your YouTube videos while searching for a new patio door and figured I would reach out to you. The amount of information regarding these is overwhelming. I'm looking to replace a 72"x80" Fench door with a sliding glass door. Looking to purchase a standard white color with internal blinds and a screen door is a must. I'm trying to be budget conscious and find the best option of quality and value. I'm located on Long Island in New York. Appreciate any help you can provide.

[Site Editor's Answer]
David, here is my list of good and great windows/patio doors for you to take a look at and let me know if you have any additional questions -- most quality window series often have patio doors in the same series (but not always) -- here are my top picks for sliding patio doors : the Okna Elegante, Soft-Lite Kingroyal, Sunrise, Polaris Ultraweld, the Ideal Victorian door (New Jersey based), and the Vinylmax High Pointe.
