Alabama's high humidity can cause wood door frames to swell, making them stick and difficult to operate. Moisture can also lead to rust and corrosion on metal components, especially near the coast. Heavy rainfall can introduce water into tracks, causing them to become clogged with debris and leading to difficult sliding. Summer heat can exacerbate expansion issues. These factors mean your sliding doors and their screens require durable, weather-resistant solutions. We focus on repairs that address these specific environmental challenges to keep your doors functioning smoothly.

What is the common problem with sliding doors?
A very common problem is a sliding door that sticks or is difficult to move. This is often caused by dirt and debris accumulating in the track. Worn-out or broken rollers are another frequent culprit. The door can also come off its track.
How do you fix a sliding door that won't slide?
We begin by thoroughly cleaning the track to remove any obstructions. If the door still won't slide, we inspect the rollers for wear or damage. Adjusting or replacing these rollers often resolves the issue. Sometimes, the track itself might need straightening or repair.
