Treasure Coast Sliding Door Repair

Hurricane impact glass. The standard for Stuart properties built or renovated since 2002. Laminated construction with a PVB or EVA interlayer bonded between two glass panes. Prevents shattering during storms. Weighs 50-100% more than standard glass. Replacement must match the original NOA specifications including glass thickness, interlayer type, and overall unit construction.
Insulated glass (IGU). Double-pane units with an air or argon gas gap for thermal efficiency. When the perimeter seal fails, moisture enters the gap and creates permanent fogging between the panes. The only fix is panel replacement - the fog cannot be cleaned.
Single-pane glass. Found in older Stuart homes. If replacement is needed, current building code typically requires upgrading to impact-rated or insulated glass. We help Stuart homeowners navigate the code requirements and insurance implications.
Glass replacement is a two-visit process. During the first visit, we measure the panel precisely, identify the glass specifications (impact rating, interlayer type, thickness), and provide a detailed quote. We then order the replacement panel from a certified glass supplier. During the second visit, we remove the old panel, install the new glass, recalibrate the rollers for the potentially different panel weight, and verify lock alignment and weatherstrip seal.
Storm damage to sliding glass doors is often covered by homeowner's insurance. We document the damage with photos and measurements, provide detailed repair estimates formatted for insurance submission, and coordinate timing with the adjuster's approval process. We have worked with all major insurance carriers operating in the Stuart/Martin County market.
