Sliding patio doors in Kingston, New York
Two or more large glass panels; at least one glides on a track. For Kingston's older housing stock (89.7% of homes predate 1980), sliding patio door replacement is a common project — and in the ENERGY STAR Northern zone, the number that matters most is a low U-factor (≤ 0.22) to keep heat in.
Short answer
Sliding patio doors in Kingston typically cost $1,690–$5,635 installed per opening. The low end is a mid-grade vinyl insert from a regional installer; the top is a premium frame, a full-frame installation, or a full-service national brand.

Sliding patio doors and Kingston's climate
Kingston sits in the ENERGY STAR Northern zone (IECC zone 5A (cold, moist), Ulster County), where the priority is a low U-factor (≤ 0.22) to keep heat in.
A patio slider is mostly glass, so its glass package drives performance: in the Northern zone, low-E coatings and a low U-factor (≤ 0.22) matter more than the frame material.
