The door should
glide, not grind.
For Gainesville homeowners whose sliding glass doors have started sticking, scraping, slamming, or refusing to lock — we make house calls, usually the same day, with parts on the truck.
Every repair a sliding glass door can need — done right the first time.
Walk-up to a stuck slider in the morning, walk-out through it by evening. Our trucks are stocked with parts for every major Florida door brand.
Roller Replacement
The number-one cause of a hard-to-slide door. Florida heat and humidity flat-spots, rusts, and seizes rollers within a few years. We carry heavy-duty replacements for Andersen, PGT, CGI, Milgard & more.
From $145 · same-dayTrack Repair & Replacement
Bent, dented, or salt-corroded tracks straightened, cleaned, or fully replaced. We can rebuild a track in place without removing the door frame in most cases.
From $185Off-Track Realignment
Door fell off its track? Stop trying to muscle it back — that's how frames warp. We realign properly and identify whatever caused it in the first place.
From $125 · 1-hr fixLock, Latch & Handle Service
A door that won't lock isn't a door — it's a window. Latches, strike plates, handles, and full keyed-lock kits available on the truck.
From $95Screen Door Repair
Rollers, frames, mesh, and slider wheels for pet-resistant screen. Especially common after summer storms or kid traffic.
From $85Commercial & Multi-Panel
Restaurants, vacation rentals, B&Bs, and University-area student housing. 4-panel and pocket-door specialists with after-hours service.
Quote on-siteThe four tell-tale signs your door needs a visit.
These aren't stock photos. These are from actual Gainesville-area service calls — and if your door is showing any of these symptoms, the fix is usually straightforward.
Track packed with grime & oxidation
Florida grime, lawn debris, and salt-air corrosion turn a clean track into a sandpaper trough. This is a clean-and-repair job, not a replacement.
Rollers seized solid with rust
If your door grinds, scrapes, or feels like it weighs a thousand pounds, this is what's underneath. The good news: roller replacement is our most common repair.
Door off the track entirely
Glass panels weigh 80–200 lbs each. Forcing one back on track damages frames and is a real injury risk. We use suction lifts and proper technique.
Worn-out, drafty, won't seal
Weatherstripping fails, locks corrode, and frames shift over time. Often a full refurbish costs a small fraction of a new door — and works just as well.
One roller swap is the difference between hauling a door and floating one.
The same part. Twenty years apart.
Top: the corroded, flat-spotted roller we pulled out of a typical Gainesville door. Bottom: the new heavy-duty stainless replacement that goes in. Same dimensions, fits the same door — but one of them actually rolls.
Most homeowners assume a hard-to-slide door means the whole unit is shot. In nineteen out of twenty cases, it's a $40 part installed in under an hour.
Four steps, usually under two hours in the home.
You Call
Quick description of what's wrong. We give a same-day or next-day window and a price range over the phone.
We Diagnose
On arrival, we inspect the door, identify root cause, and give a firm flat-rate quote. No work begins until you approve.
We Repair
Most jobs are completed on the spot — parts come on the truck. Floors covered, area kept clean, debris hauled away.
You Test & Pay
You slide the door, you lock it, you decide it's fixed. Then you pay — flat-rate, on completion, warranty in writing.
What sets a good repair shop apart from a great one.
Flat-rate, not hourly
You hear the price before we touch the door. No "the longer it takes, the more it costs" surprises.
Parts on the truck
We carry rollers, locks, tracks, handles, and screens for every common Florida door brand. One visit, done.
Repair-first ethic
We fix what can be fixed. A new door is a last resort — not an upsell. Honest assessment, every visit.
Local to North Florida
We know the door brands installed in Tioga, Haile, Jonesville, and every newer Gainesville build.
Written warranty
Every job comes with a warranty in writing. If a roller fails early, we come back at no charge.
Licensed & insured
Fully insured for in-home work. Your floors, walls, and door are all protected during the job.
A repair business built around one stubborn fact about sliding doors.
The fact is this: in North Florida, sliding glass doors get more daily use than almost any other home feature — and they're built like consumer goods, not heirlooms.
If you live in Gainesville, Haile Plantation, Tioga, Newberry, High Springs, or anywhere in Alachua County, your sliding door takes a beating. Daily heat. Afternoon thunderstorms. Salt-tinged humidity. Lawn debris in the track. Heavy use through every season because outdoor living here is year-round.
What that means in practice: rollers that should last fifteen years fail in four. Locks that should latch effortlessly bind up. Tracks that should glide develop pits and burrs. And homeowners — having tried everything from WD-40 to muscle — end up assuming the door itself is dead.
Almost always, it isn't. The door is fine. The hardware inside is what gives out. And the hardware is usually a one-visit, one-hour, flat-rate repair.
That's what we do. Sliding doors only. Across Gainesville and the surrounding North Central Florida communities. Same-day appointments when available, flat-rate quotes before any work starts, parts on the truck, written warranty on completion. No sales pressure, no surprise charges, no return visits because "we have to order a part."
If your slider has been driving you up the wall, give us a call. Five minutes on the phone and we can usually tell you exactly what's wrong, roughly what it costs, and when we can be at your house. 904-479-6747.
House calls across Alachua County and the wider Gainesville region.
If you're within roughly a 30-minute drive of central Gainesville, same-day service is usually available. Call before noon for best chance.
What Gainesville homeowners actually say after the door slides again.
"Our 4-panel slider in Haile had been getting harder to open for two years. We assumed we'd need a whole new door. Wrong — one visit, new rollers, glides like silk now. Wish I'd called two years ago."
"Called at 8am, the technician was at my Tioga home by 11. Door was off the track after a windstorm. Realigned, replaced the bottom rail guide, gone in 90 minutes. Honest pricing too."
"I'd had two other companies tell me the door needed to be replaced — $4,500 quote. This guy fixed it for $195. Same door, works perfectly now. Total professionalism."
"Lock wouldn't catch on our slider — security risk with two small kids. Same-day service, $110, done. Explained everything as he worked. Would recommend to anyone in Newberry."
"The screen door on our patio kept popping off track. Annoying for years. He fixed it, plus serviced our main slider while he was here. Both work better than when we bought the house."
"Manage a rental near campus. Door slammed off track between tenants. They came the next morning and had it back before the new tenants moved in. Saved me a real headache."
Tired of fighting the door every single day?
