Whether you are near the St. Clair County Courthouse, over in Downtown Ashville, or on the the courthouse square side of Ashville, it is the same coverage and the same crew.
The mix of housing here matters for door work. Older Ashville homes have wood frames and hardware worth repairing rather than replacing, while newer construction tends to have vinyl and aluminum systems where the moving parts wear out long before anything else does.

Storms coming off the ridges dump a lot of water in a short time, and any door with a compromised threshold pan will show it on the floor inside.
Wind gets behind a screen panel and pushes it out of the track, and on hinged screen and storm doors a gust catching the door is what tears closers out of the frame.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Ashville summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Ashville: storm wind and heavy rainfall — typical of the Appalachian foothills.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our screen door repair process
- Check whether it is the screen or the trackA screen that keeps coming out is usually a roller and track problem, and rescreening it would not solve anything.
- Assess the frame for squareA racked frame will not sit in the track properly no matter what mesh is in it.
- Match the mesh to the exposureOn a sun-facing opening, standard fibreglass will be brittle within a couple of seasons, so we specify accordingly.
- Rescreen with correct tensionEven tension and properly seated spline so the mesh does not sag or pull out of the channel. Foothill jobs get assessed for wind loading, because doors here take gusts that flatten seals unevenly.
- Fit and adjust the rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel.
- Check it stays in the trackA screen that can be lifted out is one gust from being on the patio, so the height and the guides get set properly.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Ashville
What a screen door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- the size of the panel
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Ashville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Ashville: questions we get asked
The screen slides hard even though it is not falling out. What is wrong?
Either the rollers have seized or the track is packed with debris. In Ashville the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Ashville. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
What mesh should I use if I have dogs?
Pet-resistant mesh, which is a heavier vinyl-coated polyester, and often a pet grille across the lower section. Standard fiberglass will not survive a dog that pushes against it.
Can you make a screen that keeps out the tiny biting insects?
Yes, fine no-see-um mesh. It has a much tighter weave, and in the parts of St. Clair County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Ashville are rarely a stock size, and building a panel to the actual measured opening is the only way to get one that fits and stays in.
Will a solar screen make my room cooler?
It helps noticeably on a sunny exposure. Solar mesh blocks a good portion of the heat before it reaches the glass, which matters on west-facing doors during Ashville summers.
