Idaho's dry climate can sometimes lead to wood components shrinking, causing doors to become loose or wobbly. Conversely, rapid temperature changes can cause expansion and contraction, leading to sticking. Cold winters mean moisture can freeze in tracks, causing damage and making doors difficult to operate. Dust and debris can accumulate easily in dry, windy conditions, clogging tracks. These factors mean your sliding doors and their screens need durable solutions. We focus on repairs that address these specific environmental factors and keep your doors working 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.
