Florida door & window repair
Fixora Doors & Windows
Door and window repair in every city in Florida
Sliding doors that take two hands, glass fogged between the panes, storm-cracked panes, torn screens and hardware corroded by salt air — repaired on site, usually in a single visit and almost always for a fraction of replacement.
The repair specialists Florida homeowners call first
Fixora does one thing: repair the doors and windows in Florida homes. Not sell replacements, not fit new units, not quote you for a whole elevation when one component has failed. Repair.
That matters more in Florida than almost anywhere, because replacement here is not just a window. In most of the state a replacement opening has to meet wind-borne debris requirements, which means impact-rated glass, engineered frames, product approvals and often a permit. The gap between fixing a worn roller and replacing an impact-rated patio door is not hundreds of dollars — it is thousands, sometimes tens of thousands.
We work the whole state, from the Keys and the Miami-Dade high-velocity hurricane zone up through Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville to the Panhandle. You get a firm price before we start, and the repair happens at your property.
Most of it has been getting worse for years
Doors and windows rarely fail suddenly in Florida. Salt works into a roller bearing season after season, UV makes a weatherstrip brittle, sand builds up in a track, sprinkler overspray etches a pane a little more each summer. None of it announces itself.
Then one day the patio door needs two hands, and the quote that arrives is for a new door. We would rather fix what actually failed and tell you honestly which situation you are in.
- A patio door that drags, grinds or takes both hands
- Torn or sun-rotted screen mesh that splits at a touch
- Haze or moisture trapped between two panes of glass
- A sash that will not stay up when you let go
- White spots on the glass that will not wash off
- Water coming in at the bottom of a patio door in heavy rain
- A power bill climbing as a big slider stops sealing
- Hardware near the water that has corroded solid
Doors and windows, start to finish
Fixora Doors & Windows handles the whole opening — the panel or sash, the frame around it and the hardware that moves it.
Sliding glass door repair
Rollers, tracks, glass panels, locks and alignment on the door nearly every Florida home uses daily.

Cracked, shattered and fogged patio panels reglazed in tempered or impact glass.
Sliding patio door repair

Weatherstripping and seals
Seals gone hard under Florida UV, renewed so a closed opening is actually closed.
Window screen repair
Rescreening, custom frames, and no-see-um, pet and solar mesh.
Every repair we offer, in one place
Doors and windows are the entire business. Nothing below is a sideline to something else.
Some of it is what people expect: a patio slider that will not move, a cracked pane, a window that will not stay open. The rest tends to surprise people — a sash lock painted solid decades ago, a parted cord on an original double-hung, a strike plate that has been out of line since the last humid summer.
Pick the service that matches your problem and you will find how we approach it. If you are not sure which one you need, call and describe what it is doing — working that out is part of the job.

The hardest climate in the country for doors and windows
Heat, salt, sun and storms, working on the same hardware every day of the year.
Salt air, almost everywhere
No part of Florida is far from salt water. Salt-laden air gets into roller bearings, balance springs, operator gears, fasteners and lock mechanisms. Hardware that would last twenty years inland can seize within a few here, and it fails suddenly rather than gradually.
UV that destroys anything polymer
Weatherstrip, glazing beads, balance shoes, tilt latches and screen mesh all go brittle years before their rated life under Florida sun. They snap rather than wear, which is why hardware here fails without warning.
Hurricane season, every year
From June to November, wind-borne debris is the leading cause of broken glass in the state. It also means a huge proportion of Florida openings are protected ones, where replacement glass has to match an approval rather than merely fit.
Storm water with nowhere to go
Florida rain arrives hard and sideways. Patio sills and window frames are designed to drain it back outside through weep channels, and when those silt up the water goes into the room and into the wall instead.
Sliders used every day of the year
Elsewhere a patio door rests for the winter. Here it is opened dozens of times a day in every season, onto lanais, pool decks and balconies. The cycle counts Florida sliders see are far beyond what the hardware was designed around.
Sand, sprinklers and hard water
Beach sand turns a door track into an abrasive. Irrigation overspray bakes mineral deposits onto glass in full sun until it etches permanently. Both are avoidable, and both are constantly overlooked.
Three steps, no runaround
Tell us what it is doing
Call or text. Photos help enormously, and you can send them straight over.
We diagnose on site
A technician checks the panel or sash, the frame and the hardware, then quotes a firm price before any work begins.
We repair it
Most repairs are finished the same visit. Glass is cut to size, so that follows on a short return trip.
Why we are the state's door and window specialists
We do not sell replacements
No replacement doors, no replacement windows. There is no commercial reason for us to recommend one when a repair will hold.
Doors and windows only
Not a general handyman service that occasionally touches them. It is a narrow trade and we work it every day.
Coastal-grade hardware
Sealed stainless-bearing rollers and corrosion-resistant fasteners, because standard parts do not survive Florida salt air.
We know the code side
Impact-rated and protected openings need replacement glass that matches an approval, not just the hole. We will tell you plainly which category you are in.
Straight pricing
You get the number before we start. It does not move once we are working.
The whole state
Miami-Dade and Broward to Tampa Bay, Orlando, Jacksonville, Naples, the Space Coast and the Panhandle.
Serving every city in Florida
We are a mobile service covering the whole state. Wherever you are in Florida, we come to you.

Questions we get every week
My sliding door is really hard to open. What is wrong?
Almost always the rollers underneath have worn flat or seized, so the panel drags instead of rolling. In Florida salt corrosion is usually behind it, with sand and grit in the track doing the rest. Either way it is a repair, not a replacement — and with impact doors costing what they do here, that difference matters.
My windows fogged up between the panes. Can that be fixed?
Yes. The sealed glass unit has failed and moisture has got in. We replace the unit inside your existing sash — the window itself stays exactly where it is.
Do I need impact glass in a replacement pane?
If your opening is in a wind-borne debris region and was protected originally, then yes, and the replacement should carry the appropriate approval. We will tell you plainly which category your opening falls into rather than quietly fitting standard glass.
Everything on my house corrodes. Is there anything better?
Yes. Sealed stainless-bearing rollers and corrosion-resistant hardware last dramatically longer in Florida salt air than the standard components most doors and windows ship with, and they are worth specifying.
There is condensation on the outside of my windows in the morning.
That is humid Florida air meeting cooler glass, and it means the glass is doing its job. Moisture trapped between the panes is the problem one, and that does mean a failed seal.
How much does a repair cost?
It depends on what failed. Rollers, hardware and rescreening sit at the low end; glass and track work cost more, and impact-rated glass more again. You get a firm price on site before we start, and the estimate is free.
Do you work with landlords and rental properties?
Yes, across the whole state, including vacation rentals, condo units and HOA-managed communities. Doing several repairs in one visit is considerably cheaper than one at a time.
Do you serve my town?
We serve all of Florida — South Florida and the Keys, the Gulf Coast, Central Florida, the Space Coast, North Florida and the Panhandle.
