Can a remodel replace a broken window pane?
Yes - replacing a single pane of glass in an existing window frame is standard remodel work. Sealed insulated units (double-pane) are usually ordered from a glass shop and re-installed by us or the shop. Full window replacement, especially egress windows, is a larger job requiring specific hardware and sometimes a permit.
How do I fix a sliding glass door that drags or sticks?
A sliding door that drags has either worn rollers, a dirty track, or both. Vacuum the track, then check the adjustment screws at the bottom edge of the door - a Phillips turn on each raises the door off the track. If it still drags after adjustment, the rollers themselves are worn and need replacement (a 90-minute job).
