Ten Minutes Before Ten Thousand
The Honest Test
Does 'Replace the Door' Survive a Ten-Minute Inspection? Usually Not
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
When Replacement Wins
And When Replacement Wins — How Does the New Door Go 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.

“I have three kids, and they accidentally broke the tempered glass on our door. I contacted WowFix, but I had to wait for weeks for a technician. Despite the wait, I can't complain because they offered a reasonable price, and their technician did an excellent job replacing the glass.”

Door Replacement & Repair in Apex — FAQ
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.
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.
