What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes

Key Biscayne Sliding Glass & Patio Doors face similar abuse as those in Coral Gables: salt air off Biscayne Bay, afternoon storms, and frames that swell and shift in the humidity. The track gets grit in it, the rollers flatten, the lock plate drifts out of alignment, and before long the door takes two hands and a hip-check to open. We service every part of the assembly: panels, rollers, tracks, locks, handles, weatherstripping, and the frame itself. If the glass is fogged, cracked, or not impact-rated for Miami-Dade County, we replace it and bring the door up to code.

Roller and Track Repair

When a sliding door starts grinding or sticking, the rollers are almost always the culprit. Coral Gables homes near the water deal with salt and sand in the track, which destroys nylon bearings faster than inland locations. We pull the panel, clean or replace the bottom track, install fresh rollers rated for the panel weight, and adjust the height so the door glides with one hand. This is a same-day repair in most cases, and the $40-off-any-repair-over-$200 standing discount applies.

Lock and Latch Replacement

A sliding door lock that doesn’t catch is a security problem, not just an annoyance. Many older Coral Gables homes have original aluminum sliders with single-point locks that wear down after decades of use. We replace them with modern multi-point locks that secure the panel at two or three points along the jamb, which makes the door dramatically harder to pry open. If the door is already impact-rated and in good shape, a lock upgrade is the most cost-effective way to harden the entry point.

Track Realignment and Frame Adjustment

Foundation settling and humidity cycles shift door frames out of square, which is why a door that slid fine in January binds by August. We check the header, the sill, and the jamb with a level before adjusting the rollers, and we’ll shim or resecure the frame when it has moved. This is the repair that separates a door company from a handyman: we fix the cause, not just the symptom. In Little Gables and older Coral Gables neighborhoods, frame movement is common on homes built before 1970.

Impact Glass and Panel Replacement

If a storm or an accident takes out a sliding glass panel, we replace the glass and bring the door into compliance with Miami-Dade County requirements. We install PGT and CGI impact-rated glass packages that carry a Florida Product Approval number, so your insurance paperwork moves without a fight. A standard 6-foot panel replacement with impact glass usually runs $1,800 to $3,400 in Coral Gables, depending on the frame condition. If the frame itself is dented, bowed, or corroded, replacing the full door with Sliding Glass & Patio Doors in Miami Beach or nearby areas is often cheaper than trying to rebuild it.

New Sliding Glass Door Installation

We install new sliding glass and patio doors from PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems, using manufacturer-certified methods so the warranty stays intact. Every install includes removal and haul-away of the old door, a new buck frame if needed, and finish trim that matches your home’s existing style. On Coral Gables homes with stucco exteriors, we take extra care cutting back to the concrete block and flashing the opening so water never finds its way into the wall cavity.

Full Patio Door Replacement (French, Sliding, and Multi-Slide)

When a sliding door has reached the end of its life, we replace it with a new unit sized and specced for your specific opening. That could mean a standard two-panel slider, or a three-panel that opens up an entire wall to your terrace. We measure the rough opening, order the door from one of our authorized manufacturers, and handle the permit submission. The lead time for custom sizes currently runs four to six weeks, but standard sizes often arrive sooner.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors

We’re an authorized installer for PGT and CGI, and we’ve serviced hundreds of their sliding-glass units across Coral Gables and the rest of Miami-Dade. That matters because PGT’s impact sliding doors have specific roller and track systems, and using the wrong replacement parts voids the warranty and shortens the door’s life. We stock OEM rollers, lock plates, and weatherstripping for PGT and CGI, so repairs don’t wait on a parts shipment from upstate.

We also work extensively with CWS, ES Windows, and ECO Window Systems products. CWS multi-slide doors are popular on larger Coral Gables estates, and their under-track system requires a specific adjustment procedure that most general contractors never learn. ES Windows makes high-end thermally broken aluminum sliders that are common in waterfront homes, and ECO Window Systems gives you a solid mid-range option. Whether you have a PGT, a CWS, or a builder-grade door with no badge left on it, we can diagnose it and tell you honestly whether to repair or replace. The one down the road will shoot you straight.

Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Right Now

• The door takes two hands to open. That’s a roller failure or a track that’s loaded with grime and salt from Coral Gables’ coastal air. Ignoring it means the panel gets harder to move each week, and the extra force eventually bends the handle and strips the lock mechanism. We can usually have it gliding in an hour.
• You can see daylight or feel air coming around the closed panel. Weatherstripping has compressed or torn, which means your air conditioning is leaking out and hot, humid air is coming in. In Coral Gables, that humidity also feeds mold inside the wall and the frame. New weatherstripping is an inexpensive fix; a warped frame is a bigger conversation.
• The lock doesn’t catch, or the door lifts out of the track when jiggled. A sliding door that can be lifted off its track is a burglar’s favorite entry point, and a latch that doesn’t seat fully is leaving an opening a pry bar can exploit. This is a security repair, and we treat it with that urgency. Call (904) 478-8983 and we’ll tell you over the phone whether the panel needs resetting or the lock needs replacing.
• The glass is fogged or has moisture trapped between the panes. Failed thermal seals mean the insulating gas is gone, so the door loses energy performance and collects condensation. On an impact-rated door, seal failure is often a warranty issue if it’s still under coverage. We’ll check the manufacturer date and tell you whether it’s a repair call or a replacement call.
• The door shudders or makes a grinding noise when it moves. Grinding means metal-on-metal contact inside the roller assembly, and shuddering means the track is uneven or the rollers are flat-spotted. Both sound worse than they are, but both get more expensive the longer they run. A roller replacement is a fraction of the cost of a new door, and it’s a same-day job in most Coral Gables neighborhoods.

Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   You call and a person answers. No voicemail, no answering service, no “we’ll call you back within two business days.” A live person at Winslow picks up 24/7, asks about the door, and gets you on the schedule. If it’s a security issue or you can’t close the door, we’ll make it a priority.
2. 2
   We show up on time, in uniform, with a name you already know. You get a text or call when we’re on the way. Our technician arrives with a background-checked badge and a truck stocked with common parts, so most roller, lock, and weatherstripping repairs finish on the first visit.
3. 3
   We diagnose and write a line-item quote before any work starts. You’ll see the exact cost of parts and labor in writing, and we’ll explain which items are necessary versus optional. If you already have a written estimate from another company, bring it out: we offer a free second opinion and we’ll walk through the numbers with you.
4. 4
   We do the work and test the door. After the repair or install, we cycle the door a dozen times, check the lock fit, the weather seal, and the level. If it isn’t smooth and silent, we don’t leave. That’s the Done Right Promise at work, and it applies to a $40 roller replacement the same way it applies to a $6,000 door install.
5. 5
   We walk the job with you and leave the space cleaner than we found it. You’ll see the replaced parts if you want them, and we’ll explain what was wrong and how to keep the track clean. You get a receipt, a warranty on the work, and a phone number that will be answered if anything comes up down the road.
