Sliding Window Repair & Replacement
Southern California
Stuck sash, broken rollers, cracked glass, foggy panes — we fix all sliding window problems for homes and businesses across Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties. Same-week service, free estimates.
Sliding Window Problems We Fix
Sliding windows are mechanically simple but they fail in predictable ways. The most common issue we see — especially in Southern California's climate — is roller wear. Aluminum oxide from the track builds up inside the roller housing, the wheels flatten or crack, and the sash starts to drag or jam completely. The fix is straightforward: we pull the sash, swap the rollers, clean the track, and you have a window that glides again.
The second most common call is broken glass — a rock from a lawnmower, a baseball, or a thermal stress crack. If your frame is good, we replace just the glass unit. For dual-pane sliding windows, we cut a new IGU (insulating glass unit) to the sash dimensions, glaze it in, and reinstall. Your frame and track stay untouched.
Foggy or cloudy glass between the panes means your IGU seal has failed — moisture got in. Same solution: new IGU, same frame. This is far cheaper than full window replacement and often done same-day once we have the glass in hand.
Common Repairs
- Roller replacement (most common — restores smooth operation)
- Track cleaning, straightening, and replacement
- Glass pane replacement (single and dual-pane)
- IGU replacement for foggy or broken dual-pane units
- Weatherstripping and seal replacement
- Screen repair and replacement
- Full sliding window unit replacement when frames are damaged
Our Process
We assess the window, identify the failure (roller, glass, seal, track), and give you an upfront price.
Most roller jobs are done the same visit. Glass orders take 2–5 days to cut; we schedule install as soon as it's ready.
We pull the sash, make the repair, test operation, reinstall screens, and clean up before we leave.
All glass work and hardware installation is warranted. If something isn't right, we come back.

Reached out for a shower enclosure estimate and Frank responded the same day. He walked me through hardware options, explained the warranty coverage, and made sure everything stayed within budget. Really appreciated how knowledgeable and clear they were from the very first call.
From the first call to the final installation, everything was perfect. Bryant and Franklin helped turn our shower glass vision into exactly what we wanted. Professional, skilled, and a real pleasure to work with.
Frank and his team came out to measure both bathrooms for frameless glass doors and panels. Everything turned out beautifully and pricing was great compared to other quotes. The process was quick and smooth and the team was professional throughout. Would definitely use them again.

Had some boutique mirrors done and the quality is great. Bryant was knowledgeable and professional throughout — offered honest advice and special pricing. Happy with how everything came out and would use them again.
Bryant was no pressure, informative, knowledgeable and patient. On install day, all the guys were friendly, professional, hard working and clean. The windows and slider are amazing — easy to open, self locking, and beautiful. The noise reduction is remarkable. I added one additional window on install day and they made a point to install it that day. They deserve more than 5 stars.
