It's the Rollers — Not the Door Ninety percent of "dead" sliding doors are two worn rollers and a dented or dirty track.

The glass, the frame and the panel stay yours; the glide gets rebuilt. - Heavy-duty rollers fitted and adjusted — from $475 - Track cleaned and straightened on the same visit - Sticking lock or latch?

The buyer wants it fixed or credited. Do I need a new door before closing?** A: Take a breath — no. Inspectors flag the symptom; the cause is worn rollers. From $475 and one visit, the write-up clears without touching your closing date. Fixing it costs less than the credit the buyer will ask for. **Q: My sliding door jumped the track and now it won't close at all. We can't leave the house open tonight — how fast can this happen?** A: That's a same-day securing call. We get the panel back on track and locking first, then rebuild the rollers so it doesn't happen again. You sleep behind a locked door tonight. **Q: Three companies told me nobody repairs these doors and quoted $3,000+ for a replacement. Is repair even a thing?** A: It's our whole business. Companies that sell doors see every problem as a door sale. Rollers from $475 — your glass, your frame, and about $2,500 staying in your pocket. **Q: The door slides but screams the whole way. Worth a visit or just annoying?** A: That scream is the rollers grinding themselves flat — the cheap fix window is now. Caught early it's rollers and a track clean; ignored, the dragging door chews the track too. **Q: Where do you work?** A: Wherever the coverage below reaches — and door glass, locks and screens ride along on the same visit. ## Serving NC & Surrounding Areas Roller rebuilds run wherever our door crews do — find your city below.
