Between Atmore proper, the Downtown Atmore area and the newer building out toward the Main Street corridor, we stay busy in Escambia County, and Brewton is close enough that we are often nearby.
A lot of what we see in Escambia County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.

These are the screen door repair faults we are called out to most often in Atmore. If you recognise one, the underlying cause is usually the second half of the line.
- The spline has lifted out of the channel at a cornerShrunken or hardened spline, usually after several summers of UV exposure.
- The mesh has a shiny worn stripe near the handleAbrasion from contact with the track or jamb, meaning the frame is no longer running true.
- The screen tilts and jams halfway acrossOne roller seized while the other still turns, so the frame is walking out of square.
- The screen door falls out of the trackWorn screen rollers or a bent top rail that no longer holds the panel in the head channel.
- The frame flexes visibly when you pull the handleFailed corner keys, which is why the whole frame is racking rather than sliding.
- The frame is bent or racked out of squareUsually from being forced back into a track it was not sitting right in.

Salt air is the single biggest factor on the coast. It attacks the steel inside roller bearings, hinge pins, latch mechanisms and closer springs, and it does it year round whether or not a storm ever comes.
Blowing sand abrades screen mesh and packs into the screen track, and a screen track full of sand will not let a panel roll no matter how good the rollers are.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
It is why the same repair done properly in Atmore lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Atmore: blowing sand and heavy rainfall — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach screen door repair
- Work out whether it is the screen or the trackA screen that jams is often a track problem. Replacing rollers in a damaged track fixes nothing.
- Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered.
- Choose the right meshStandard fiberglass, pet-resistant, solar or fine mesh, depending on pets, sun exposure and what insects you are dealing with.
- Rescreen with correct tensionEven tension and properly seated spline so the mesh does not sag or pull out of the channel. We check the drainage path on every coastal opening, because wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain never would.
- Fit and adjust the rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting.
- Test the full travelThe door should move with one finger, latch cleanly and stay in the track.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Atmore
What a screen door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- the size of the panel
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
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 Atmore.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Atmore: questions we get asked
Is it worth rescreening or should I just buy a new screen door?
Rescreening is far cheaper and the frame is usually fine. New panels only make sense when the frame is bent beyond straightening or the corners are gone.
Do you repair storm doors as well as screens?
Yes, including closers, latches, sweeps, hinges and glass or screen inserts. Storm door closers that have torn out of the frame after a gust are one of the most common calls.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Atmore. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Atmore 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.
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 Escambia County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
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 Atmore summers.
