Easy Sliders Glass Door Repair

These guys are experienced and knowledgeable. My realtor hired them initially to fix all 4 old worn sliders in the townhome I was purchasing. They came on a hot October day and took out all sliders to repair and replace rollers. The sliders were working so smooth after that. During Christmas while hanging lights I noticed that one of my sliders was stuck. I called Ron (or Rob-sorry) and he and his co worker came out to Palm Bay to check on it. It ended up being of the track most likely due to having my new carpet installed. They gave me tips on how to care for the sliders as well. I appreciate the fact that they honor their warranty, no questions asked. I would definitely recommend!

Went very well. Larry showed up at 8:30AM as scheduled . Doors were very old, both screws and rollers on doors were odd size. Larry left and returned within an hour with the correct parts. He and his co-worker cleaned the slider rails and replaced the rollers. Doors now slide good as new.

My sliding glass door was getting impossible to open and hubby figured we needed new doors. I decided to try Slide Right based on their reviews. I called and left a message and altho the answering machine said they usually return calls within 24 hrs, I did not get a call back until 2 days after and was quoted around $225 for repairs. Meanwhile I got a quote on a new door just in case for $1500. He came out the day after he called and cleaned the tracks and replaced the rollers. He also showed me how to maintain the doors and lubricate the tracks. I followed his maintenance instructions for my other door and now both doors work like a dream and for less money than they quoted. I was truly impressed.

My house is a bit unique. That being said it was almost impossible to get the doors out and was impossible to put back in. It required some modification of the track in order to get the doors in. Two guys (who knew what they were doing) required 6 hours whereas they usually spend about 2 hours. They stuck with it (for which I am very grateful since I did not have to have a new door) and got the job done well. Would definitely hire again. They stuck with the written estimate, even though they spent so much time.

They came, they saw, they conquered! New rollers, new track, new lease on life. These guys know their stuff. Also I really appreciated that they came to Titusville and also that they did not insist on more than needed to be done. They said a good cleaning and adjustment would give us another couple of years on the rollers. I chose to change them out as a preventive. They were on time (early, even) and had all the equipment and parts they needed to do the job instantly. Could not have been better.

Now it slides with one pinky! So easy. This guy knows what he is doing. A bit pricey, but a lot better than the cost of a new door.

Two techs arrived promptly, explained what they would do (acid clean, track cap, etc...) and got to work. Job done in a timely manner and responded amicably to questions. Door hasn't worked so well since we bought the house!

Excellent service! I called three other repair places listed on Angie's list. I did not get a response back from any of them. Slide- Rite answered immediately and scheduled an appointment for the following week. On the date of service they arrived early after calling to ensure we were home. They fixed the door by replacing the hardware on the bottom. I had received a quote to replace the door for $4000. What a relief to have such an easy repair performed.

Excellent service, very professional!

Very nice guys, professional and very knowledgeable of their job. They showed up earlier than originally scheduled which was fine with me. ?

I didn't realize how much I was dragging the sliding doors until after Slide-Rite repaired them. Now I think "Oh yeah, this is how they're supposed to work". The guys were quick and efficient. The results see better than I expected.

some trouble contacting but worked out the communication problem. Arrived with helper as scheduled. Removed and cleaned rollers and track on each slider. added stainless steep cap on bottom of each slider rail. replaced two corroded rollers on one slide. Lubricated rollers and track. Sliders worked much better. One is still a little sticy, will probably need to repace those rollers eventually

The repair was performed at my friend Susan's condo. We did not know what was wrong with door - whether the repair would be major or minor. It turned out to be minor, but it was one of those repairs that if the serviceman was not honest the cost could have ballooned with the same result. He not only fixed the glass door which is 10' high, but showed her how to perform maintenance and what products he recommended using and no he was not selling any just recommending. I was so impressed that I have hired him to check out my sliding glass doors and replace a locking mechanism. The reason we selected Slide Rite was they were highly recommended on Angie's List and we can vouch for their accuracy and thank them for taking the time to write a review.

Great team. Would recommend to anyone.

Removed all 4 panels of the sliding glass door. Cleaned the track. Added steel cap. Replaced rollers on one door. Looks and operates like new! Larry and helper, Bear, did a marvelous job. Scheduled 5 days ahead. They were on time as scheduled. Very professional, excellent job and nice people. I highly recommend them.

The Angieslist website said they were licensed and insured. So I took it on faith and requested they come out to do an estimate. I should have asked on the phone to be sure. They came to give an estimate and I was ready to hire them on the spot. Very nice guys. Just before I said yes, I asked the 2 standard questions--are you licensed and insured? The answer was that they are not insured. I looked at the written quote and the business card, and both say they are licensed and insured. They are probably old forms and cards, but that's still sort of false advertising. To be sure, I am not suggesting you should not hire these folks. I have no doubt they would have done a great job for a very fair price. As I said, I was ready to hire them on the spot. In fact, I wish I could have. They were clearly the right guys for the job, and they could have knocked it out quickly. But if one of them had gotten hurt, or accidentally damaged our home, it could have been a nightmare for us (and likely them). I only gave a D to increase the odds that someone would read this review. It could have been an F as well, but D should catch most folks attention. I feel a little guilty giving them a bad grade like this since they didn't even do any work for us, but again, I want to share our experience so others on Angieslist can benefit from it, and make more informed hiring decisions. That's what it's all about. Folks need to understood whether they are hiring folks that are insured. Some people don't have a problem with uninsured workers and are willing to take the risk. I also understand the Slide Rite perspective--insurance is expensive (they said $1,500 a year), and many folks don't seem to care about this issue if the price of the job is low and the work gets done right. To those folks, I encourage you to do a quick Internet search for horror stories, or call a law office you trust, or call your insurance agent. Just go in with your eyes open. For us, we'll always pay more for the license and insurance because stuff happens. Not often, but it happens. You don't want to end up in a legal battle with a hospital or insurance company for years just because your contractor didn't want to spend $1,500 a year on insurance--at least that's our perspective. In closing, very nice guys, and I'm sure they would not have gotten hurt or burned our house down. I'm also confident they would have 110% pleased us. But we just couldn't bring ourselves to knowingly hire someone without insurance. Sorry Slide Rite.

Showed up right on time, made repairs and cleaned up after themselves. I had forgotten how great it was to have doors that slide with a push of the finger.

Larry changed the sliding door cap, installed new wheels, and cleaned the track. It looks like NEW!!!! OMG, the track was a mess and now it's shiny as new. He taught me how to maintain the cleanliness of the track and the importance of keeping it lubed. It only took him and his work partner less than two hours to get the job done! After this experience, I will tell all my friends and neighbors to call Larry to fix their sliding doors. I wish I had done it sooner!

These guys were awesome! We were looking for someone to fix our sliding glass door, so we checked angie's list, found these guys and gave them a call. We couldn't even open the sliding glass door anymore. In a matter of minutes the doors were off and the work began. The entire track had to be replaced and the door realigned. These gentleman know their business. The door is now better than brand new. It opens and closes with ease and all the locks and latches line up. If you need any work like this done, call this company!

All work performed was outstanding. The door slides better than it did when installed new.

It went great. What impressed me was his knowledge of how these slider doors worked an d how to fix. He took pride in his work. Price was definitely fair'

Larry was great, all costs were discussed upfront. It is like I have all new doors. He adjusted the lock as well. I would highly recommend him.

Did a good job. Now I can lock my exterior doors so the alligators don't get in.

Sliding glass hurricane doors had friction closing. They cleaned and balanced the doors. Doors were not installed right in the first place. They are fixing the problem. Highly recommend!

Larry was very professional and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend Slide-Rite to all my friends. Job well done!
