Patio Door
Glass Repair
Broken glass, fogged sealed units, sliders that won’t slide, handles that won’t latch — we fix the patio door without replacing the whole thing.
What we fix
The Patio Door Problems We Fix
Patio doors fail in a few different ways, and each has a different fix.
Broken or cracked glass panels
A slammed door, a baseball, a break-in, or a kid’s elbow. We replace the broken panel — single-pane or sealed unit, depending on what’s there — without replacing the door frame or hardware.
Fogged sealed units
If your patio door has fog or condensation between the panes, the seal has failed. We replace the sealed unit and leave the rest of the door in place. Same approach as foggy window repair — same kind of fix.
Rollers that won't roll
Sliding doors stop sliding when the rollers wear out, get clogged with debris, or come off the track. We replace rollers and clean or repair the track so the door slides cleanly again.
Handles, latches, and locks
The handle assembly and lock mechanism on a patio door takes a beating over the years. When it stops latching cleanly, the fix is usually replacing the handle and lock hardware — not the whole door.

Why It’s Usually Worth Fixing the Door You Have
A new patio door costs significantly more than replacing a panel of glass or a set of rollers. Unless the frame itself has failed, fixing the existing door usually delivers years of additional service for a fraction of the cost — and avoids the construction work that comes with a full unit replacement. The exceptions are real (rotted frames, mid-renovation upgrades, severely outdated units), but they’re the exceptions. For most patio door problems, the fix is more straightforward and cheaper than the replacement quote suggests.
Our patio door work
Glass and Hardware in One Shop
One stop for both sides
Patio doors live in a middle ground — glass and hardware fail, often at the same time, and most jobs involve both. We handle both, which means coordinating with one shop instead of two.
Sealed unit replacement
If your patio door has fogged up, the answer is replacing the sealed glass unit — not the whole door. Same workflow as our foggy window repair service, applied to door-sized glass.
Insurance work
If your patio door glass was broken in a break-in, storm, or accident, we can help with the claim work.

We replace the glass and hardware — not the whole door. If your frame is structurally sound, there's no reason to replace it. We fix what's actually broken: the glass panel, the sealed unit, the rollers, the handle, or the lock. If the frame is too far gone, we'll tell you and point you toward the right trade.
-
Yes. If there's condensation between the panes, the sealed unit has failed — not the door itself. We replace the sealed glass unit and leave the frame, rollers, and hardware in place. It's the same process as our foggy window repair, applied to a door-sized piece of glass.
-
That's usually us. Sliding doors stop sliding when the rollers wear out, get clogged with debris, or come off the track. We replace rollers and repair tracks — that's a standard patio door repair for our crew.
-
Yes. Handle assemblies, latches, and lock mechanisms wear out on their own and can be replaced without touching the glass or the frame. If the handle is broken or the lock won't engage cleanly, that's usually a hardware-only repair.
-
Turnaround depends on the glass spec — standard single-pane or common sealed unit sizes are typically faster; specialty or non-standard glass takes longer. Send us a photo and dimensions and we'll give you a realistic timeline. [NEEDS CLIENT INPUT — confirm turnaround ranges for patio door glass.]
-
Yes. If your patio door glass was broken in a break-in, storm, or accident, we can support the insurance claim — photos, documentation, and quotes formatted for the process. Reach out with your insurer's information and we'll coordinate. [NEEDS CLIENT INPUT — confirm billing workflow for patio door insurance claims.]
-
Often, yes. We source rollers, handles, and locks for a range of sliding door systems including older and non-standard units. Send us photos of the door and the hardware issue and we'll let you know what's available.
-
Yes. Tempered safety glass is required by code for patio door panels, and it's the only type we install for this application. When we replace a patio door glass panel, we replace it to the correct safety glass spec.
