Is It Better to Repair or Replace a Sliding Glass Door?
Repair is usually the better deal. If the frame and glass are sound, new rollers, track work or a lock fix costs a fraction of a new door.
The short answer: repair, most of the time
If the frame isn't bent or rotted and the glass is fine, the problem is almost always hardware — rollers, track or lock. That's a repair, not a new door.
- •Repair: door drags, sticks, won't lock, jumps the track
- •Replace: frame is bent or rotted, multiple panels are failing, or you want impact protection you don't have
What it costs: $99–$375 per panel for standard repairs
On a standard residential sliding glass door, our repairs run $99–$375 per panel depending on the parts and labor involved. The estimate is free and you get the price before any work starts.
Impact doors need an on-site estimate
Impact-rated (hurricane) sliding doors are a different job. The panels are much heavier because of the laminated glass, the rollers and tracks are often brand-specific, and the frames are built to strict Florida code. Two impact doors that look the same can need very different parts and labor.
That's why we don't quote impact doors over the phone. We come out, look at the door, check the brand, the panel weight, the track and the rollers, and then give you an exact price. The on-site estimate is free.
