Rotted Frames
Charlotte Door Frames Rot From the Bottom Up — and Rebuild the Same Way
Splash-back off the stoop, sprinkler drift, a summer storm a week: the bottom foot of a Charlotte door frame lives wet. When it goes soft, the trade answer is surgical — decay cut out to sound wood, a laminated piece milled to the original profile spliced in, everything sealed. From $475, and the frame outlasts the builder pine it replaces.

Door Restoration
Restoration Means the Door You Have, Working Like New
Dilworth and Myers Park entries were built from wood worth keeping — and even Ballantyne's builder doors usually fail at parts, not at the slab. Restoration re-hangs the sag, renews the weatherstripping, services the hardware and re-glazes the glass — the whole door brought back on one written sheet. Locks and security hardware get their own deep-dive on our Charlotte door hardware page.

“Had 2 windows that needed repaired. Bith double pane windows One had a broken pane the other had a broken seal and was cloudy. The installer came to the house, removed the damaged windows, built new double pane windows, and installed them. No waiting for the factory to build and send them. No back and forth scheduling. All of it was done on the same day. Windows look great.”

A Real WowFix Repair — Start to Finish
No stock footage, no actors — one of our actual Charlotte jobs: a rotted, fogged-out window brought back to flawless, like-new condition.
Door Repair in Charlotte — FAQ
Cut it out and rebuild — from $475. Bubbling paint means water is living in the wood; filler over it fails within a year. We splice in laminated lumber milled to the original profile, seal the water path, and the frame stops being the weakest point of the house.
Before We Arrive
How to Prepare for Your WowFix Door Repair Visit
- 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
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
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
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
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.

Real WowFix Repairs, Up Close
The Rot Comes Out, Not the Window
We fabricate an exact-profile piece from laminated lumber and splice it in.
Shattered Pane, Same-Day Secure
New glass built to the window's exact size — frame and trim untouched.
Broken Glass on a Brick Ranch
The pane is the part that failed — so the pane is the part we replace.
Fog That Won't Wipe Off
A failed seal, not a failed window: the sealed unit is swapped, the frame stays.
Patio Door Saved from the Landfill
