Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Track Repair & Replacement
How much does track replacement cost in Miami-Dade County?
+
Track replacement costs typically range from $280-$650 per door depending on track length, material grade, and installation complexity. Premium stainless steel tracks for hurricane impact doors range $450-$850. We provide detailed written estimates with no hidden fees and offer financing options for larger projects.
How long does track replacement take to complete?
+
Standard track replacement typically requires 2-4 hours per door depending on configuration complexity. Hurricane impact door tracks may require additional time for proper sealing and testing. Most single-door replacements are completed the same day with minimal disruption to your home.
When should I replace tracks versus repair them?
+
Replace tracks when they show extensive corrosion, structural damage, severe wear patterns, or repeated alignment issues. Minor problems like loose caps or surface scratches can often be repaired. Our technicians provide honest assessments and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
What track materials work best in South Florida's climate?
+
316-grade stainless steel and anodized 6063-T5 aluminum alloy tracks perform best in Miami-Dade's coastal environment. These materials resist salt air corrosion, UV degradation, and thermal expansion issues. We recommend avoiding basic aluminum or steel tracks that deteriorate quickly in humid, saline conditions.
Do you offer emergency track replacement services?
+
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency track replacement services throughout Broward County. Emergency situations include completely failed tracks preventing door closure, security concerns, or severe weather damage. Emergency service calls incur additional fees but include same-day completion when possible.
Will new tracks work with my existing door panels?
+
Most quality replacement tracks are compatible with existing door panels when properly selected and installed. We verify door weight, dimensions, and roller compatibility before beginning work. In rare cases, roller replacement may be necessary to ensure optimal performance with new tracks.
What warranty comes with track replacement work?
+
We provide lifetime warranties on all track replacement installations covering materials and workmanship. Track materials carry manufacturer warranties up to 20 years depending on grade. Our warranty includes free adjustments, maintenance, and repairs for as long as you own your home.
Can you replace tracks on hurricane impact sliding doors?
+
Absolutely. We specialize in hurricane impact door track replacement using impact-rated track systems that maintain structural integrity and weather sealing performance. These installations require precise alignment and specialized sealing techniques to preserve impact certification and insurance compliance.
How do I know if my sliding door tracks need replacement?
+
Common signs include doors sticking or jumping during operation, visible corrosion or damage, gaps in weather sealing, excessive noise during operation, or doors not staying properly closed. If cleaning and basic adjustments don't resolve these issues, track replacement is likely necessary.
Do you service commercial sliding door track systems?
+
Yes, we provide comprehensive
commercial sliding door repair services including heavy-duty track replacement for retail, office, and industrial applications. Commercial track systems require specialized materials and installation techniques to handle increased usage and weight loads.
