5 Ideas to Help Your Perfect Patio Doors
Set The Perfect Mood


Do you do a lot of entertaining at your Sterling, VA, home? If you do, you know that making your home ready to accept guests and entertain them can be a lot of work. And you also realize that your outdoor area is one of the best areas you can utilize for hosting people at your home.

However, what if access to your outdoor area requires everyone to walk through a garage or go out the back door, step around a large garden, and only then access the patio or deck? In these situations, the gathering of the flow is disrupted as people trudge through your yard to get where they need to be.

This is why having the right patio doors for our Loudoun County area home can make all the difference in an outdoor gathering that rocks or one needing life support!

And with some out-of-the-box thinking, you can ensure your patio doors are the threshold people walk over and experience a great environment.


Choosing The Right Patio Doors

If you have outdated patio doors installed on your Sterling, VA, home, or maybe you want to upgrade a regular door to a patio door – choosing the right option will make all the difference.

So, how should you choose the best patio door for your outdoor entertaining?

First off, how much room do you have? Many homeowners opt for sliding patio doors for space-saving purposes as they do not open like regular doors.

Secondly, do you have a specific look you want to create? If so, you may have an idea of using French patio doors in your home to complete your desired look. Or maybe you want to opt for a particular patio door color.

Choosing the right patio door for your home boils down to what you want to create and the space you must work with. You should research what you want to create for your outdoor area. Remember, you are creating something you will use for many years – so take the time and do it right.

Professionals can advise you on what will work for the space and what they offer. Patio door installation is not a DIY project – it requires a professional who knows what they are doing.


5 Ideas To Help Your Patio Doors Enhance Your Outdoor Area

Consider some of these ideas if you are still considering what patio doors look best for your outdoor area.

1. Indoor And Outdoor Become One

Many people expand their indoor area to their outdoor with the same colors and themes. With a sliding patio door – it becomes easier to merge the two.

If your patio door is in the family room, you can take the same style to your deck/patio. Use furniture that correlates with the furniture in the family room, use complementary colors, and open up the doors to allow people to stay outside or go inside when needed.

2. Light It Up

Set the mood with lights on your deck – you can make it bright and colorful to help everyone have a great time, or opt for amber lighting to make the area more low-key and relaxing.

When stringing lights, consider putting the lights around the frame of your patio doors to help illuminate their beauty. If your patio is covered, adding hanging lights can allow you to utilize the area without worrying about it being too dark.

3. Tropical Oasis

Many homeowners with sliding patio doors make their deck a tropical oasis where they can easily relax and entertain. Once the sliding patio door is open, you can step into a relaxing area.

Install a small tiki bar or a hot tub on the deck, and consider adding some tropical plants to make the feel of a vacation oasis in your backyard. Don’t be surprised if your patio becomes your friends and family’s go-to gathering place!

4. Outdoor Kitchen

If you are one of those people who love to grill, then your patio or deck most likely houses a grill or even a complete outdoor kitchen — if you’re lucky. When you want your patio doors to enhance cooking fluidity – go with sliding patio doors.

Sliding doors will be much easier to handle when your hands are full of cooking utensils, burgers, hot dogs, and other grilling materials.

5. Kid Friendly

If your outdoor entertaining is all about the family and kids, you want to ensure your patio doors are easy to open. Sliding or French patio doors can be a great option in these cases.

With tempered glass and vinyl frame material, your patio doors will hold up to the kids opening the doors, running outside to the trampoline or pool, and running back a few minutes later for a juice box. Not only is the door safe, but it will also look fantastic!

We’re so pleased to be able to provide this review of our recent window replacements project with Milton Design and Build- all in all, truly a 5 star event. Owner, Matt Kavanah, followed up on a Thumbtack request for proposals with a home visit to see what we needed and how Milcon Design and Build could help. Matt explained the process, how long it would take to order and get ready for the installation, and most importantly, what we could expect as performance from the ProVia window and door products recommended for our home. Matt indicated that he would have Project Manager, Josh, come out and take precise measurements to make up the order, but for the proposal pricing he was able to give us a very competitive bid based on our conversation that day. We kept coming back to Matt’s straightforward conversation and the value of the windows we would be ordering. The price and quick time-to-install just sealed the deal. Matt made some key suggestions that, after our installation today, proved to be great advice. One of the reasons we chose to do a window replacement now (January) was the cold spots in both our primary bedroom and dining room - opposite ends of our house. Even upgraded HVAC hadn’t been able to overcome the heat loss. Tonight, with a new package of high-efficiency thermally broken windows and sliders installed, we’re actually turning the thermostat down because we’re warm! Thank you to Matt, Josh, Luis, Martin, and the rest of the crew for a great job, for explaining all the tips and techniques to get the most out of the new windows and front door, as well as to keep them looking beautiful for years to come! Thank you, Milcon Design and Build for working with us on this purchase… you guys are awesome!

Outstanding! After weeks of countless window contractor interviews, we found the perfect company. Matt at Milcon, with his many years of experience, provided us with detailed product descriptions to meet our environment requirements, that included muffling the Ashburn Data Center and air traffic noise. They installed over 40 windows in two days! Most important, my wife is so happy with our choice.

I went to Milcon for a quote and they came in under the competition. The staff was super professional and did everything I asked for. The team was quick and was done within hours. I would go back for any future projects.

Matt was very professional, gave us very good advice for the 2 massive doors we had to replace. We were very happy with the process, the execution of the project and the products. We had a very pleasant experience with Matt and his installation crew. Thank you so much.

Right on time. Matt and his team did what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it. Painless process from start to finish. I had a new roof in about 48 hours. Highly recommended.

We were in need of a roof replacement so we threw out a few requests on Thumbtack and I’m glad we did since it brought us to Milcon Roofing. Matt reached out very quick and if I recall correctly came out the following day to discuss options. He wasn’t pushy or trying to just sell me something. It was clear he has been in the business for years and more or less just informed me of my options. He also noted his crew gets certified on the roofing systems which we really liked. So we needed up asking for a quote and it was very fair and competitive. I will say, Matt was very professional, quick to reply to texts, his quote was very fair, and his crew was on time and knocked out the job out in less than one day. Oh, also their clean up was outstanding. While I hope to never see Matt again (since the roof will last many more years than we should be here) I would 100% call him back for any future work here or at our next home. If you need a new roof, give them a call, you won’t regret it!

We hired Milcon Roofing, Design & Build for replacing the original aluminum siding on our house. Matt took the time to explain different options and we opted for the insulated siding. Matt was very easy to work with and communicated with us through the entire process. The work crew did an great job despite some days with rough weather. We are very happy with the results, less cold drafts, a reduction in noise and a more modern looking exterior. Everything looks great! Can't recommend enough.
