Service-Specific Questions
How long do sliding door rollers typically last in South Florida?
Sliding door rollers in Broward County typically last 7-12 years, though South Florida's humidity, salt air, and sand can reduce this to 5-8 years in coastal areas. Steel rollers corrode faster than stainless steel or nylon options. We recommend premium corrosion-resistant rollers for maximum lifespan in our challenging climate.
What are the signs that my sliding door rollers need replacement?
Common signs include difficulty sliding the door, grinding or scraping sounds, visible wear or rust on rollers, the door jumping or sticking in the track, and uneven gaps when closed. In Broward County, salt corrosion often causes rapid roller deterioration, making regular inspection important for coastal properties.
Can sliding door tracks be cleaned instead of replaced?
Often yes! Track cleaning and adjustment can resolve many issues caused by sand, debris, and mineral buildup common in South Florida. However, tracks with significant corrosion, cracks, or warping require replacement. Our technicians assess each situation to determine the most cost-effective solution for optimal door operation.
What types of sliding door locks do you repair?
We repair and replace all sliding door lock types including keyed cylinders, thumb-turn locks, multi-point locking systems, and security bars. Lock repairs are especially important in Broward County for hurricane preparedness and home security. We stock locks from major manufacturers and can upgrade to higher-security options.
What's the difference between impact and standard glass replacement?
Impact glass is required by code in most of Broward County for hurricane protection. It's significantly thicker (usually laminated) and costs more than standard tempered glass but provides storm protection and security benefits. Glass replacement with impact-rated panels typically costs $400-$800 versus $200-$400 for standard glass.
How often should I schedule sliding door tune-ups?
We recommend annual tune-ups for most Broward County homes, or every 6-8 months for coastal properties exposed to salt air. Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs and extends door life in South Florida's harsh environment. Tune-ups include cleaning, lubrication, adjustment, and weatherstripping replacement as needed.
Scheduling & Timing
Do you offer same-day sliding door repair service?
Yes, we provide same-day service throughout Broward County when our schedule allows, particularly for emergency repairs involving security or safety issues. Most non-emergency repairs can be completed within 2-3 business days. We maintain local inventory in Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Hallandale Beach, and Sunrise for faster service.
What's your typical appointment window?
We offer 2-hour appointment windows to minimize disruption to your schedule. Morning appointments run 8:00-10:00 AM or 10:00 AM-12:00 PM, while afternoon slots are 1:00-3:00 PM or 3:00-5:00 PM. Our technician will call 30 minutes before arrival to confirm timing and ensure someone is home.
How long do most sliding door repairs take?
Most repairs are completed in 1-3 hours depending on complexity. Simple roller replacement takes 45-90 minutes, track cleaning and adjustment requires 30-60 minutes, while glass replacement can take 2-4 hours including cleanup. Complex multi-point repairs or impact glass installation may require scheduling a full day in Broward County.
