Repair, Replacement or New Installation
A dragging door, damaged screen or loose handle does not automatically require a full unit replacement. Start by identifying which component is failing and whether the frame/opening remains sound. When the entire window unit or major exterior opening is being replaced, move to the primary window replacement or exterior service page.
Frame, Jamb and Opening Condition
Doors and windows operate inside an opening. A square, stable frame matters just as much as hinges, rollers or locks. Swollen jambs, shifted frames and water-damaged sills can create recurring problems that hardware adjustments alone will not fix.
Hardware and Operation
Handles, locks, rollers, hinges and latches each have their own fit and alignment. A new part should match the existing preparation and operating style. For a specific sliding-door issue, use patio and sliding door installation and repair.
Screens, Coverings and Trim
Window screens, screen doors, shutters, curtain rods and casing are all part of the opening without being the window itself. Those services have dedicated pages because measurements and attachment points differ.
Weather Sealing and Exterior Exposure
Air and water leaks can involve weatherstripping, frame joints, trim or larger envelope defects. Window weatherproofing owns focused sealing work, while broader siding or flashing problems belong to exterior services.
