## Most 'Replace the Door' Verdicts Fail a Ten-Minute Inspection

A door that sticks, drags, leaks or won't lock feels terminal — but doors are assemblies, and assemblies fail one part at a time. Sagged hinges re-hang. Rotted frame bottoms rebuild from $475. Foggy door glass swaps from $198. Rollers on a dying slider replace for $475. The ten-minute inspection sorts the fixable from the finished — in writing.
- Sticking / dragging — usually hinges or frame, not the door
- Rotted frame or door bottom — rebuilt from $475
- Foggy or cracked door glass — from $198
- Locks and hardware — from $175

## Then the New Door Goes In Properly — Once

Warped slabs, frames racked by settling, doors damaged beyond their parts — sometimes replacement genuinely wins. Then the job deserves doing right: measured to the true opening, shimmed square, flashed against Carolina rain, insulated and sealed. Entry, patio and storm doors for Apex homes, with the repair math shown alongside on the same written estimate.

## Door Replacement & Repair in Apex — FAQ

**Q: My front door sticks every summer and I'm tired of it. Replace?**

A: Probably not — summer sticking is the Triangle's humidity working on a door that's lost its margins: sagged hinges, a swollen edge, a frame that shifted. Re-hanging and adjustment usually cures it for a fraction of replacement. If the slab itself has warped, you'll see that finding — with both prices — on the written estimate.

**Q: What actually justifies replacing a door?**

A: Three honest cases: a warped or delaminating slab, a frame racked out of square by settling, and damage beyond the door's parts. Everything else — rot at the bottom, dead hardware, foggy glass, worn rollers — is a repair line between $175 and $575.

**Q: The frame is rotted at the bottom but the door itself is fine. What happens?**

A: Exactly what should: the frame bottom is cut out and rebuilt in laminated wood from $475, the door stays, and the new wood outlasts the builder pine it replaces. Rot in the frame almost never means a new door.

**Q: Do you install storm doors?**

A: Yes — storm doors measured and installed over existing entries, plus repair of the ones already there (closers, glass panels, hardware). It's often the cheapest comfort upgrade an Apex entry can get.

**Q: Can you fix a patio slider instead of replacing it?**

A: Almost always: rollers ($475) and track service revive the glide, foggy panels swap from $198, locks from $175. A five-figure new slider is the last resort, not the first quote.

**Q: How fast can we get the estimate?**

A: Usually within days — free, written, both paths priced. Repairs from the same visit often happen on the spot; replacements follow once the door is ordered.
