Two Columns, One Honest Answer
The Math Question
When One Door Collects Several Problems, Arithmetic Makes the Call
A Matthews door rarely dies of one thing. It collects: rot creeping up the frame, fog in the glass panel, a deadbolt that fights, seals gone flat. Each line is honest catalog money — wood from $475, glass from $198, hardware $175, seals $175 — and one or two of them is an easy repair decision. But when the same tired door needs four lines at once, the repair column starts talking to the replacement column. We write both totals on one sheet and let you read the answer yourself.
-
Every failure priced on its own catalog line
-
Repair total and replacement estimate side by side
-
One or two problems — repair usually wins clearly
-
Slab-wide failures — the sheet says so honestly
When Replacement Wins
A Replacement Chosen by the Numbers Gets Built to Deserve It
When the sheet lands on replace, the work honors the decision: opening inspected down to the sill, frame set square and shimmed, flashing lapped to shed water outward, perimeter foamed and sealed, hardware fitted and cycled until it clicks like new. Entry doors, patio sliders, storm doors — Matthews' mix of 90s-era subdivisions and older in-town homes keeps us fluent in both. The free estimate covers the true scope up front, not a teaser that inflates on install day.
-
Free written estimate — the real scope, no install-day surprises
-
Entry, patio and storm door replacements
-
Opening rot fixed while the wall is open, not painted over
-
Old unit hauled away, opening left clean

How Door Replacement Works in Matthews
The sheet decides, then the craft delivers.
01/Count Every Failure
Rot probed, glass checked, hardware cycled, seals inspected — the whole door's condition on paper, not just the loudest symptom.
02/Two Totals, One Sheet
The repair column (wood $475, glass $198, hardware $175) against the replacement estimate — you read the math, you make the call.
03/Replace With Care
Opening prepped and de-rotted, frame set square, flashed, foamed, sealed — installed like the door before it never was.
04/Full-Cycle Test & Warranty
Swing, latch, lock and weather seal all proven with you at the door — written workmanship warranty behind it.

Eugene fabricated both screens and new half double-pane windows for my home. He was professional, dedicated, and experienced. He went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend WowFix for work that meets all expectations!

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 Replacement in Matthews — FAQ
That's exactly the door the two-column sheet was made for. Each problem gets its repair price — wood from $475, a new sealed glass unit from $198, lock service at $175 — and the total sits next to the replacement estimate. Sometimes the repairs still win by thousands; sometimes the door is telling you it's done. Either way you decide from numbers, not from a pitch.
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.
