Our Boaz customers are spread from Downtown Boaz to the outlet district and out around the Boaz outlet shopping area, and we serve the surrounding Marshall County communities on the same schedule.
Door problems in Boaz tend to sort into two groups: older homes where the frames and jambs have taken decades of weather, and newer builds where the hardware was the cheapest part of the package and has already given up.

Elevation means wind. Doors on exposed western walls take a beating that the same door in a sheltered valley subdivision would never see.
Grit accumulating in the screen track is the reason most screens get hard to move, and it wears the small plastic rollers far faster than the weight of the panel ever would.
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.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the Boaz outlet shopping area and the rest of Boaz.
Local factors we account for in Boaz: grit and dust and storm wind — typical of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateau.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach screen door repair
- Check it against the openingWe run the frame through its travel and watch where it tightens, which shows whether the fault is the frame or what it runs in.
- 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 for ice blockage on mountain openings, which is a fault that only shows up on the coldest days.
- 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.

Every screen door repair call in Marshall County is a little different, and the cost follows what the door actually needs:
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- the size of the panel
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- 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 Boaz.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Boaz: questions we get asked
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Boaz take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
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.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Boaz 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.
My storm door blew open and broke. Can it be repaired?
Usually yes: the closer and its mounting take the damage. We repair the mounting and fit a wind chain so the next gust does not do the same thing.
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.
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 Boaz the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
