Ocean-facing sliders, beach access doors, and canyon-view multi-slides. Chapter 7A, Coastal Commission, and marine-grade hardware — all handled. Quote in 48 hours.
Malibu patio doors are among the most complex we install — they sit at the intersection of three requirements: Coastal Commission jurisdiction (any opening modification may need a Coastal Development Permit), Chapter 7A wildfire code (dual-pane tempered or laminated glass, aluminum or fiberglass frame on rated elevations), and severe salt-air exposure (marine-grade aluminum and stainless hardware are not optional within sight of the ocean). The ocean-view multi-slide on a PCH property is our most demanding standard install type — 14–20-foot openings, structural mullions, and glass panels that weigh 250+ lbs per lite, all in a coastal environment.
Fleetwood or Western Window Systems aluminum for ocean-facing Malibu patio doors — marine-grade powder coat, stainless marine hardware, dual-pane tempered Low-E. For canyon properties farther from the coast: Marvin Elevate fiberglass sliding is acceptable.
Coastal Commission jurisdiction means any exterior work requires CC review. Salt-air framing spec is required on all installs. For patio door installation projects specifically, Malibu homeowners most commonly ask whether haul-away of the old unit is included (yes, same day), and whether the price will change after the job starts. The all-in quote of $2,800–$7,500 covers complete patio door replacement including frame, track, threshold, screen, and hardware.
