Therma-Tru Roof Repair in Hollywood: What to Know First

We repair Therma-Tru doors and framing damaged by roof leaks, failed flashing, or wind-driven rain in Hollywood, FL. Most Therma-Tru roof-repair jobs run $220 to $650 including parts and labor, and most are completed in a single visit. Hollywood homeowners who see staining above a Therma-Tru entry or patio door should have it checked before the interior jamb swells and the threshold starts binding.

Call (863) 334-2933

This page is for homeowners in Hollywood, Hallandale, Dania Beach, and Davie who own a Therma-Tru door and have water coming in around the roofline or above the header. If your Therma-Tru door was installed before 2015 and has never been re-sealed, the flashing tape is likely failing. Call us at (863) 334-2933 and we’ll tell you what we think before we schedule anything.

How Therma-Tru Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

• Fiber-Classic and Classic-Craft header rot from failed kick-out flashing. Therma-Tru’s Fiber-Classic and Classic-Craft systems use a composite door slab, but the mounting jamb is finger-jointed wood pine. When the kick-out flashing above the door is missing or was never installed, Hollywood’s afternoon thunderstorms channel water directly behind the brick or stucco ledge and into the jamb. We pull the casing, cut out the soft wood, install a proper kick-out diverter, and re-hang the door with a fresh sill pan. In the Liberia neighborhood where Dale Kessler grew up, we see this on nearly every home built before 2005.
• Slim-Line transom leaks around the roofline mull cap. Homes with a Therma-Tru Slim-Line transom or sidelite configuration get water intrusion at the seam between the transom frame and the roof eave. The original mull cap was builder-grade aluminum, and after ten years of South Florida sun, the butyl tape underneath dries and cracks. We replace the cap with a custom-bent profile and bed it on polyurethane sealant, not tape. That joint outlasts the original.
• Threshold binding caused by water-swollen subfloor, not a door problem. A Therma-Tru door that sticks in the corner nearest the roofline usually means the subfloor beneath the threshold has absorbed water from a leak above. The door itself is fine. We shim the threshold after drying and treating the subfloor, then re-seal the exterior roofline junction. If you keep forcing the door, you’ll compress the Therma-Tru weatherstrip and create a bigger gap at the top corner.
• Hinge-side sag on 8-foot Classic-Craft doors after roof runoff exposure. Tall Therma-Tru doors with a roof valley dumping water nearby put steady downward pressure on the hinge-side jamb. The fasteners pull loose and the door drops. We replace the failed screws with structural lag bolts into the king stud, re-square the jamb, and re-shim the hinges. It’s a two-hour fix that stops the door from dragging on the saddle and wrecking the sweep.
• Sidelite seal failure around a Therma-Tru door set that gets direct roof runoff. When a downspout spills near an entry with sidelites, the constant splash degrades the exterior seal where the sidelite meets the main jamb. Water wicks in, and the drywall beside the door shows a ghost stain. We remove the old glazing bead, clean the channel, bed a new seal on silicone, and extend the downspout away from the door by at least three feet. It is an $80 problem that becomes a $1,600 problem if ignored through one more wet season.

Our Therma-Tru Roof Repair Process

1. 1
   We answer the phone. A live person picks up at (863) 334-2933, day or night. You tell us what you’re seeing; we tell you what we think it might be and what an inspection costs (zero, if you schedule the repair through us).
2. 2
   We measure and diagnose on site. One of our uniformed techs comes out, climbs a ladder, runs water over the suspect seam, and watches what gets wet. We do not guess at leaks; we find the exact entry point before quoting anything.
3. 3
   We give you the parts decision on paper. If the door or jamb needs replacement components, we quote OEM Therma-Tru where the warranty matters and a quality aftermarket equivalent where the original part is no better than the alternative. You see both prices and the difference in writing.
4. 4
   We do the repair the same day in most cases. Rotted jamb, failed flashing, seal replacement, threshold re-bed: we carry the materials we need on the truck. We do not leave your opening exposed overnight.
5. 5
   We test before we leave. We hose the repaired area, check the interior with a moisture meter, and make sure the door swings, latches, and seals the way Therma-Tru intended.
6. 6
   You get the Done Right Promise in writing. If the fix fails within 90 days, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no arguing.

What Therma-Tru Roof Repair Costs in Hollywood

Here is what Hollywood homeowners actually pay for the most common Therma-Tru roof repair scenarios we see:

What moves the price: how much wood has to be cut out, whether stucco or brick has to be opened, and whether the door itself is still square. We’ll never quote you over the phone without seeing it; Dale Kessler has a rule about that. Measure it right, set it square, and the paperwork takes care of itself. Estimates are free. Call (863) 334-2933 and we’ll put a number in writing the same day we look.

Why Hollywood Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Therma-Tru Work

We’re not the cheapest bid in Hollywood, and we do not try to be. What we offer is the confidence that the repair gets done right the first time, by people who know a Therma-Tru door’s weak points by name and not from a catalog. TruePane has served South Broward since 2008 through Dale Kessler’s family trade, and every job carries our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard: both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave the driveway.

If the roofline damage is severe enough that replacement makes more sense than repair, we quote multiple brands side by side on paper, including PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. You’ll see exactly what you’re buying, and no one will rush you. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and that person can actually tell you something useful about your door before we even roll a truck.
