Full Sliding Door Restoration
Don't replace a $4,000 door for a $349 problem. A full Speedy restoration brings a tired 20-year-old slider back to factory-glide condition: new rollers, track repair or cap, lock service, alignment, weatherstrip — the works. Most restorations Starting at $349 and finished the same day, with a 1-year warranty. The new-door alternative is $3,000–$5,500 with permits.
What restoration looks like — panel lifted, full Speedy crew on the job. Lake Mary, FL.
Five signs your door needs the full restoration package.
Individual repairs (rollers OR track OR lock) get you back to "working." Full restoration gets you back to "feels brand new" — and is the right call when more than one thing is wrong.
Multiple problems
If 3+ things are wrong (grinding + lock stuck + air leaks), bundling into restoration saves the second service-call.
Door is 15+ years old
By that age every wear part is at end-of-life. One repair just exposes the next failure.
Door has been dragging for years
The track is grooved, the rollers are flat, the alignment has shifted. Surgery, not a band-aid.
Air or water leaks
Worn weatherstrip + misaligned door + tired track combine. Fix all three at once.
Selling the house
A perfectly working slider is a $5,000 perceived value boost. A full restoration is a $500 marketing investment.

What we clean out during a restoration.
Every restoration starts at the bottom track — that's where Florida grit, dead bugs, and 10 years of debris quietly destroy your rollers. Below: the actual before/after from a Lake Mary job.
