We service every part of Headland, including Downtown Headland and the square, and the nearby Henry County towns like Abbeville and Greenville.
Headland has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why patio door repair fails in the Wiregrass
The Wiregrass gets punishing summer heat and enough tropical rain that hurricane remnants are a normal part of the year, not an exception. Sally and Michael both did door and window damage this far inland.
The full afternoon sun most patio doors get breaks down vinyl weatherstrip, glazing gaskets and the seals in insulated glass units, which is why fogged panels and failed seals show up on the west elevation first.
Patio door sills catch a lot of water and rely entirely on their weep holes to get rid of it, and heavy rain plus blocked weeps is the standard recipe for water on the floor and rusted-out roller assemblies.
It is why the same repair done properly in Headland lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Headland: sun and heat load and heavy rainfall — typical of the Wiregrass.

- Identify the systemSlider, hinged French, sliding French or multi-panel. Each has different hardware and different failure points.
- Check the opening for squareWe measure the reveal at both jambs and the head. A racked opening explains most patio door faults on its own.
- Pull the panel where neededGetting the panel out is the only way to properly assess rollers, the bottom rail and the track.
- Replace what wears, keep what does notThe frame and glass usually have years left. We change the parts that failed and leave the rest alone. In the Wiregrass we check tracks and channels for fine sand, which grinds moving parts flat faster than anything else in the state.
- Reset alignment and sealThe panel is levelled, the interlock is checked along its length, and the weatherstrip is set to contact without dragging.
- Test it under loadWe work the door repeatedly and check the lock engages with the panel simply pushed closed.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of patio door repair in Headland
What a patio door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- how far the frame has moved out of square
- whether glass units also need replacing
- the type of patio door and how many panels it has
- the weight of the panels, which drives hardware selection
- the condition of the weatherstrip and threshold
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Headland.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Patio door repair in Headland: questions we get asked
Can the screen be repaired or does it need replacing?
Both are common. Bent frames and destroyed mesh usually get replaced; worn rollers and torn spline are straightforward repairs.
Why is there a draft down the middle of my patio door?
The interlock weatherstrip where the panels overlap has compressed or gone brittle. That seal does most of the work on the middle of the door and it is replaceable without touching the glass.
My patio door leaks water inside when it rains hard. Why?
Usually blocked weep holes in the sill. The track is designed to collect water and drain it outside, and once those drains clog the water rises to the interior lip and comes in. It is a cheap fix that prevents expensive floor damage.
Can you fix a foggy patio door glass panel?
The seal on the insulated unit has failed and the glass itself needs replacing, but the frame and the rest of the door do not. We replace the glass unit in place.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a patio door?
Repair, in most cases, and by a wide margin. A full patio door replacement in Headland runs into the thousands once you include the opening work and finishing. If the frame and glass are sound, rebuilding the rollers, seals and hardware costs a fraction of that.
Do you work on French patio doors as well as sliders?
Yes. Hinged French pairs have a different set of problems, mostly hinge sag, astragal binding and multipoint lock failures, but they are just as repairable.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.
