Door Replacement
A new entry or patio door runs ~$10,000 — so the first thing we check is the $175 question: is it the hardware, the glass or the frame? Replacement done right when it truly wins.

The Decision
What Actually Condemns a Door — and What Only Looks Terminal
Doors feel binary — works or doesn't — but they're assemblies, and assemblies fail one part at a time. Sticking and dragging: hinges and geometry, re-hung. Rot at the frame bottom: wood rebuild from $475. Fogged or cracked glass: sealed panel from $198. Locks fighting back: hardware from $175. The genuine death sentences are short: a slab split through its core, a frame crushed past re-hanging, damage exceeding the sum of the parts. Everything else is a repair wearing a scary face.

The Careful Hour
Why Is the Installation the Product When Replacement Wins?
Two identical doors, two installers, fifteen years later: one still closes like new, the other drags and rots. The difference was the hour nobody watched — frame set dead square, shims where the load lives, flashing and sill pan lapped so water sheds out, foam and perimeter seals, hardware fitted and cycled. That hour is our specialty because we spend the rest of the week repairing its absence. Entry, patio, storm and French doors; old unit hauled off; opening never left unsecured.

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 — FAQ
That's three repairs sharing a door: geometry (re-hang), seals ($175) and hardware ($175) — under $600 against a ~$10,000 door. When one door collects several failures, the two-column sheet decides by arithmetic. Sometimes replacement genuinely wins; usually the sheet saves you four figures.
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.
