What We Fix

Door Repair: What We Fix

Sliding door rollers replaced along the bottom edge of a patio door

Sliding Door Rollers

The sliding door that takes two hands and a grunt isn't dying — it's rolling on worn-flat wheels. New rollers are $475 ($535 with wheels), the track gets serviced in the same visit, and the slider glides one-finger light again. The most-condemned door we see is usually a $475 repair.

Door lockset serviced and refitted into the door edge

Door Hardware

Locks that fight the key, handlesets that wobble, hinges that sag — door hardware fixes from $175 are the smallest bills in the door trade. We repair the screw-torn wood so fresh anchors actually bite, then fit and cycle the hardware until it works like new.

Screen door mesh rescreened under even tension

Door Screens

Door screens that bulge, sag or flap have lost their spline tension — hand-stretching never brings it back. Professional rescreen with new mesh and spline is $250; doors past saving replace new, fitted and adjusted, for $475.

Door hinge and strike alignment corrected so the door latches without force

Door Realignment

If the door only latches with a slam or the deadbolt needs a lift-and-jiggle, the door and frame have drifted apart — an alignment problem, not a door problem. We true the hinges, re-set the strike and service the latch until it closes with two fingers. Quoted per door, on site, in writing.

Five Systems, One Sheet
Door Anatomy

A Door Is Five Systems — and Each One Repairs on Its Own

The slab gets all the attention, but a door lives or dies by its supporting cast: hinges carrying the weight, a latch-and-strike handshake doing the closing, perimeter seals and a sweep keeping weather out, glass panels doing the daylight, and the frame holding court. Sagging, sticking, leaking, rattling — every complaint traces to one of the five, and every one of the five has its own line on our sheet.

  • Hinges & alignment — doors re-hung to swing true

  • latches & hardware — from $175

    Locks

  • Seals & sweeps — $175 · door glass — from $198

  • Frame & jamb wood — rebuilt in real wood from $475

The $10,000 Question

A New Entry or Patio Door Runs ~$10,000 — Most Repairs Run $175–$575

That gap is the whole story of our door trade. A door that drags reboots with a re-hang; a rotted frame bottom rebuilds in laminated wood; fogged door glass swaps as a sealed unit; a grinding slider glides on new rollers. When a slab is genuinely split or a frame crushed past saving, we say so — with the replacement estimate written next to the repair math, so the decision is arithmetic instead of salesmanship.

  • Sliding door rollers — $475, the most-condemned fix in NC

  • Storm doors — closers, hinges and panels serviced

  • Break-in damage — frames and hardware restored fast

  • Honest written repair-vs-replace comparison every time

I had a fantastic experience with WowFix. They repaired my existing windows by cutting out rotted sashes, fashioning new ones on-site, and splicing them in. They look and work absolutely good as new!

WowFix is a great company for repairs on doors and windows. I had two rotten double-door frames that they rebuilt. They communicate well and the pricing was fair.

Door Repair — FAQ

Almost never — that's geometry, not death. Doors sag on their hinges and frames settle; a proper re-hang restores the swing and the latch clicks home again. If hinge wood is torn or rotted, it gets rebuilt in the same visit. This is the single most over-condemned failure in the door world.
Before We Arrive

How to Prepare for Your WowFix Door Repair Visit

  1. 1

    Photograph the door and the problem spot

    Take one photo of the whole door and a close-up of the trouble area — the track, the handle, the glass, or the soft wood at the bottom. It lets us quote faster and bring the right parts.

  2. 2

    Note what the door is doing wrong

    Jot down the symptom — grinds or sticks on the track, won't lock or latch, drafts around the edges, fog or cracks in the glass, soft flaking wood at the bottom. It tells us whether it's hardware, a glass-only swap (from $198), or wood work.

  3. 3

    Clear the doorway and a few feet on each side

    Move mats, planters and furniture back from both sides of the door — most door work happens from inside and outside at once, and a clear opening keeps the visit quick.

  4. 4

    Find any brand sticker or paperwork

    Door brands hide their stickers on the edge or hinge side. If you spot one — or still have install paperwork — set it aside. Not required, but it helps us match rollers, locks and glass on the first trip.

  5. 5

    Make sure we can reach the outside of the door

    Unlock gates, secure pets, and clear the deck or patio path. With access to both faces of the door, nearly every repair finishes in a single visit.
