We carry seal and weatherstrip stock on the truck, so once we find where water is getting in, we close it up the same visit. We also handle sliding glass door repair and pocket door repair across Miami-Dade and Broward, with service in 6 states.
Pick the one that sounds like your problem and we will take you straight to it.
From Gal Cohen, Field Area Manager: "I have been on leaking door & window repair jobs since 2012, and our crews now run them across Florida, New York, Georgia, Colorado, Texas and South Carolina. Most repairs we handle wrap up in roughly 2 hours, same-day, and you can see the real before-and-afters in the photos and videos on this page."
JDM finds the exact source of door and window leaks and fixes the root cause, not just the symptom. Left alone, a small leak around a door or window leads to mold, wood rot, structural damage, and higher energy bills, and many homeowners live with one for months without seeing the hidden damage building inside the walls and frames.
Our leak repair covers every part of a watertight seal. We replace worn or cracked weatherstripping, caulk and seal frames and joints, adjust misaligned frames that open gaps, and address wall issues that let water through. We also clear and repair weep holes, drainage channels, and flashing, the details that move water away from the opening.
Leak during heavy rain, condensation between the panes, or moisture stains around the frame: our techs have the experience and tools to trace it and fix it. We use professional-grade sealants and weatherproofing built for long-term performance in your climate, and we water-test every repair before we close out the job.
★★★★★ Verified Google Reviews ★★★★★ · a month ago"After I made an appointment I decided I was going to try and do it myself. Michael FaceTimed me, walked me through what to do, then call back if I still needed him. An hour later I called him and he was at my house in 35 minutes. Some of the best service I've ever received from a contractor. He finished in two hours and went above and beyond. The same-day service was incredible. Absolute professionals."
★★★★★ · a year ago"After a couple of hiccups with getting our repair done by someone else, our technician Richard showed up on time (actually half an hour earlier than the appointment time). He was very polite and got the job done in the time he told us it would take. Our glass door now glides smoothly and is able to lock again. I highly recommend Richard, he represented his company very well. I will definitely consider using them in the future!"
★★★★★ · 9 months ago"David, thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything to us. He was so patient, and I appreciate him doing a clean and awesome job. He was respectful of my home and cleaned up after the work was complete. Now my door slides like new, quiet, and smooth. Again, thank you David."

Everything below is work our technicians handle on a standard leaking door & window repair call, with the common parts stocked on the truck. If the piece giving you trouble is on this list, one visit usually covers it.
We inspect the door or window in question, checking seals, caulking, weatherstripping, glass, frames, and the wall around it to find every spot water is getting in.
We show you where the leak is coming from, recommend the fix, and give you a detailed flat-rate quote before any work starts.
We make the repair with professional-grade sealants, weatherstripping, and materials built to hold up in your climate, not a quick patch that fails next season.
We water-test the repaired area to confirm the leak is gone, check that every seal is adhered and fully covered, and make sure the drainage path is moving water out the way it should.
Windows almost always fail at the hardware long before the glass does. These are the four parts behind most of our window calls.
The window will not stay open. You lift it, let go, and it slides shut. Or it stops halfway and sits crooked, one top corner higher than the other. Somebody in the house has probably started propping it up with a bottle.
That is the balance, not the window. A window balance is the spring or cord hidden in the side channel that carries the weight of the sash so you do not have to. Every single hung and double hung window has one on each side, sized to that exact sash.
When a balance goes, the sash has nothing holding it up. A snapped cord jams it where it stands. A spiral balance that has lost its tension feels heavy from the moment you lift it. We take the sash out, read the markings on the old balance, and match the new one to the sash weight rather than guessing from its length.
Window balance replacement is always done in pairs on the same sash. A new balance next to a tired one pulls the sash out of level and takes most of the load, which is how the next break starts. With both sides matched, the window stops wherever you leave it.
What you will notice
You turn the crank and the window does not move. Or it moves, but it takes two hands and feels gritty the whole way. On a casement or awning window that handle drives a small gearbox called an operator, and the gear teeth inside it are the first thing to wear out.
What it feels like tells us what broke. A crank that spins freely with no resistance means stripped teeth inside the housing. A crank that is stiff from the very first turn usually means the hinge track is packed with grit or the arm has corroded in place. A window that opens but never pulls tight is a keeper out of position, not an operator fault at all.
Operators are handed, so a left unit will not serve a right opening, and the arm has to match the sash width. We match on the base casting and the arm, replace the handle when the splines are rounded off, clean and free the hinge track, and set the keepers so the sash draws in evenly top and bottom.
What you will notice
The lock turns but the window still rattles. Or you have to push the sash with one hand to get the latch across with the other. Either way the window is not locked, and that is worth fixing the same week.
Most window locks are a cam lock: a curved tongue on one sash that swings into a catch on the other. It works on alignment, not on force. Move either half by a small amount and the cam rides over the catch instead of drawing into it.
So the lock is often not the problem. A sagging sash, a balance that has given out on one side, or a frame that has settled will all leave the cam short of its catch. We check that the window closes square before touching the hardware, because a new lock on a crooked sash fails the same way the old one did.
Then the direct work: new cam locks and catches where the old ones are cracked or worn, the catch moved to meet the cam, and sash stops fitted where you want a window secure while it sits open a few inches. On sliding windows we change the latch and the strike together so the two are matched.
What you will notice
A sliding window that takes two hands, grinds along the run, or leaves water standing in the bottom channel after rain usually has the same two problems: worn rollers and a dirty track.
It works like a patio slider, only smaller. The sash sits on two rollers riding in a bottom channel, and that same channel is the drain path for any water that gets past the outer seal. Flat spots on a roller make the sash drag. Grit wears the running surface and blocks the small weep holes at the outer edge.
Blocked weeps are what push water over the inner lip and onto your sill, so those get cleared first. We vacuum and flush the channel, clear the weeps, fit new rollers, and set their height so the sash sits level in the frame. Where the channel itself has worn through, it takes a cap over the damaged surface or a new track where the frame allows one.
Leave the channel dry afterward. Oil in a window track holds dirt against the rollers and wears them out faster than running dry ever would.

Our licensed tech arrives with common parts on the truck. Most leak repair jobs are completed in a single visit.
We test the repair, walk you through the work, and make sure everything is running smoothly before we leave.
We replace weatherstripping around the door perimeter once it goes worn, flat, or torn. This is the most common cause of drafts and minor water intrusion.
We repair the sill threshold and door sweep. When water gets in under the door, this is usually where it is coming through.
We reseal where the frame meets the glass. The corner seals give out first, especially on sliders more than 10 years old.
Clogged weep holes back water up into the frame. We clean and flush them so the frame drains the way it was designed to.
When water shows up inside the wall, the exterior flashing is failing. We get at the wall from outside to re-flash it, which can mean limited stucco or siding work.
We repair cracked frames, failed seals, and worn hardware on impact and standard windows to stop the leak and bring back the weather seal.
We repair storm door closers, sweeps, hinges, and glass or screen inserts so the door seals tight and closes the way it should.
We repair or replace window locks, handles, hinges, balances, and cranks so the window opens, closes, and locks securely again.
⏱ Same-day service available based on capacity. Call to confirm dispatch.
Our technicians are trained to identify the exact source of water intrusion, even when the entry point is not immediately visible. We trace leaks to their origin and address the root cause rather than applying surface-level fixes.
We handle every part of a leak fix: weatherstripping replacement, caulking and sealant, frame repair and adjustment, and drainage restoration.
Water intrusion left unchecked leads to mold, rot, and structural damage that costs far more to repair than the original leak. Our timely repair service stops damage before it escalates.
Gaps and failed seals that allow water in also let conditioned air out, driving up your energy bills. Our leak repairs restore the thermal envelope of your home, improving comfort and reducing costs.
Leaks can cause immediate damage during storms. Our team offers same-day service for most leak repairs, so you can protect your home quickly when water intrusion is discovered.
We provide transparent, flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees. You will know the complete cost of your leak repair before any work begins.

Here are straight answers to the questions we hear most about leaking door & window repair.
The most common causes are worn or damaged weatherstripping, failed caulking around frames, improper installation, cracked or shifting frames, broken glass seals, and clogged weep holes that prevent proper drainage. Age, UV exposure, and climate conditions accelerate the breakdown of sealing materials.
Signs of a leak include visible water on the floor or sill after rain, moisture stains or discoloration around the frame, peeling paint near the door or window, musty odors indicating mold growth, and condensation or fogging between double-pane glass. Even small amounts of moisture should be investigated promptly.
In most cases, yes. The majority of leaks are caused by failed seals, worn weatherstripping, or deteriorated caulking, all of which can be repaired without replacing the entire unit. If the frame or glass is severely damaged, we will recommend the most cost-effective solution, whether that is a targeted repair or full replacement.
Costs depend on the source and severity of the leak. Simple weatherstripping or caulking repairs are at a lower price point, while frame repairs or multi-point leak issues cost more. We provide a flat-rate quote after our assessment so you know the exact cost before work begins.
Absolutely. The same gaps that let water in also allow conditioned air to escape, raising your energy bills. Sealing these gaps with new weatherstripping, caulking, and proper frame adjustment restores your home's thermal envelope, often resulting in noticeable energy savings.
Condensation between panes means the insulated glass seal has failed, allowing moisture into the space between the glass layers. This reduces insulation and obscures your view. The sealed glass unit itself has to be replaced, and that is a glass shop's job rather than ours. We will say so on the phone instead of charging you for a visit, and we can still fix the frame, seals and drainage around it.
