Rotted Sill, Caught in Time
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
Before Apex pays ~$10,000 for a new door, we check the $175 question: is it the hardware, the glass or the frame? Repair first — replacement done right when it truly wins.

Not sure what it is?
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.
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.
The same honesty as our repairs, scaled to the bigger job.
Hinges, frame, glass, hardware, slab — every part checked, and the repair path priced next to the replacement path.
True-opening measurements and door options that fit the house and the budget — no default upsell to the premium line.
Old door out, new one set square and plumb, flashed against water, foamed at the shims, sealed inside and out.
Cycled, locked and slammed with you watching — then the written workmanship warranty.
Honest numbers up front — repairs from the catalog, replacement quoted per door:
Every repair comes with a written workmanship warranty. If it's not right, we come back and make it right.
We fix the part that failed — glass, seal, sash or hardware — so you keep your windows and skip full-replacement cost.
Your repair is done by our own technicians, never subcontracted — most jobs booked within days.
A clear quote before any work starts. No hidden fees, no upsells, no pressure to replace what we can repair.

No stock footage, no actors — an actual WowFix job: a rotted, fogged-out window brought back to flawless, like-new condition.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Decay cut out completely and rebuilt in real wood — no filler, no new window.
We fabricate an exact-profile piece from laminated lumber and splice it in.
New glass built to the window's exact size — frame and trim untouched.
The pane is the part that failed — so the pane is the part we replace.
A failed seal, not a failed window: the sealed unit is swapped, the frame stays.
Rotted bottom rebuilt on-site — a fraction of the ~$10,000 a new door runs.
