Sliding doors take more handling than any glass in the house and their tracks collect more grit than any window. The two are related: the grit that makes the door hard to open is the same grit grinding the rollers down. Cleaning the glass without clearing the track fixes the visible half of a problem that is mostly mechanical.

What this means in Manitou Springs specifically

Dust and wind exposure

Canyon winds channel grit through town, and the narrow streets concentrate road dust on street-facing elevations.

What the windows are like here

Original wavy single-pane glass in divided-light sashes is common, and it must not be aggressively polished or scraped. Restoration techniques that are routine on modern glass will permanently damage a 130-year-old pane. Pane counts here are the highest in our service area.

Tree cover and organic staining

Dense canyon tree cover produces the heaviest organic staining we deal with, particularly on north and east elevations that see little direct sun.

Manitou Springs sits at approximately 6,412 feet.

What is included

Interior and exterior door glass

Roller condition checked and reported
Screen door cleaned and re-seated
Frame, handle, and threshold wiped

How we do it

1
Track first
Vacuumed dry before anything wet. A patio track holds more grit than any window in the house and wet-wiping it just makes paste.
2
Glass both sides
Full-height glass done in overlapping passes, since a single pass on a door-sized pane leaves a visible line.
3
Screen door
Screens on sliders are handled constantly and go out of their track easily. Cleaned and re-seated properly.
4
Operation check
We slide it. A door that still binds on a clean track has a roller problem, and knowing that is worth more than the cleaning.

What it costs

Priced per door panel, and included in full residential service.

Sliding Doors questions from Manitou Springs

Why is my sliding door so hard to open?

Usually worn rollers, and the wear is caused by grit in the track acting as an abrasive. Sometimes it is a roller height adjustment that has drifted. Clearing the track is the first diagnostic step and occasionally the whole fix.

Can you fix the rollers?

We clear and report. Roller replacement is a door repair rather than a cleaning service, and we will tell you plainly which one you need.

What about the dog nose prints?

Standard. Patio door glass is the most handled glass in the house and it is the main reason people book interior service more often than they otherwise would.
