Patio Door Glass Replacement

Patio door glass fails decades before patio doors do. The panel lifts out and a new tempered unit goes in from $198 — the door, track and frame stay yours.

Real Estate Market Trends in Charlotte, NC: Prices Fall - Realtor.com

With prices falling in the Charlotte market, sellers have less room to negotiate and need their homes to be in top shape. Home inspectors often flag things like foggy sealed glass units starting from $198 or sash balancers at $175, which can lead to buyer credits or price cuts that cost far more than the actual repair. We can handle these fixes, such as rebuilding a rotted sash from $375, to save you from the cost of a new wood window about $2,000. Our crew books visits based on their schedule and provides a 5-year written warranty on the work.

NC’s population is booming. Our housing market is not. - Carolina Journal

With North Carolina's population growing faster than the available housing, buyers in Charlotte need to be strategic about the homes they find. During your walkthrough, look for specific issues like a sash balancer that won't stay up ($175) or a foggy sealed glass unit (from $198) rather than assuming you need a new vinyl window ($1,000+). Most problems are just one failed part, such as a window latch or lock ($115) or a casement crank ($275), which allows you to price your offer honestly based on the actual repair cost. We can handle these fixes with our 5-year written warranty and a mobile glass process that builds most sealed units the same day.

Cities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Charlotte metro area - Stacker

With home prices growing quickly across the Charlotte metro, maintaining your property's condition is more important than ever for maximizing value. A home inspector will often flag soft or rotted wood on a window sill or sash, which sellers often mistake for a minor cosmetic issue that requires a full window replacement. Instead of spending $1,000+ on a new vinyl window or about $2,000 for wood, we can rebuild a rotted sash from $375 or a sill or frame from $475.

Baseball Through It or Fogged Over — Is It the Same Repair?

A shattered slider gets a new tempered unit — built to your exact size, rated to code — set into the same panel. A foggy slider is the identical swap without the broken glass. Either way the door you own stays on its track.

  • built to size — from $198

    Tempered safety glass

  • Broken glass rebuilt tempered, to code

  • Foggy slider units — same swap, save ~70% vs a new door

  • French and entry door glass — same repair, same visit

The $3,000 Quote

Why Does Their Quote Say "New Door" and Ours Doesn't?

Door companies start at the showroom: $2,500–$4,500 for a new slider, weeks of lead time, a construction day in your kitchen. We start at the part that failed: one glass panel, from $198, installed clean. The most marked-up "replacement" in the industry is the easiest repair in ours.

  • Glass unit from $198 — new slider from $2,500+

  • Built in-house, not ordered from a six-week backlog

  • Wood French doors keep their wood — only the unit swaps

  • Written quote before work, catalog prices

The Process

How Patio Door Glass Replacement Works

Secure today, measure once, swap clean.

01/Secure First

Broken glass cleared and the opening made safe on the visit.

02/Measured Exact

The panel is measured to the millimeter; tempered units must fit, not almost-fit.

03/Built to Code

Door glass is safety-rated — your unit is fabricated tempered, to spec.

04/Swapped Clean

Old unit out, new unit sealed in, track and rollers checked on the way — warrantied.

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.

Call us and we book the visit. Until then, tape heavy plastic or cardboard over the opening and keep kids and pets away. On the visit we clear the glass, seal the opening and measure it; the new tempered unit is heat-treated to size and installed on the return visit.
Before We Arrive

How to Prepare for Your WowFix Window Repair Visit

  1. 1

    Photograph each problem window in daylight

    Snap a clear photo of every foggy, cracked or stuck window in natural light. Morning light shows fog between the panes best and lets us quote faster — often before we arrive.

  2. 2

    Note what each window is doing wrong

    Jot down the symptom per window — fog between the glass, won't open or stay up, draft, cracked pane, or rotted frame. It tells us whether it's a glass-only swap (from $198) or hardware/wood work.

  3. 3

    Clear about three feet in front of each window

    Move furniture, blinds and décor back roughly three feet so our crew can measure and work safely. It keeps the visit quick and your things out of the way.

  4. 4

    Find any window brand or paperwork

    If you have the original window brand, a sticker in the frame, or install paperwork, set it aside. It's not required, but it helps us match glass and parts on the first trip.

  5. 5

    Make sure we can reach the windows outside

    Unlock gates, secure pets, and clear the exterior path to the windows. Most glass-unit work is done from both sides, so outside access keeps everything one visit.
