Our territory takes in Carrollton and the communities around it in Pickens County, so calls from the courthouse square, the US-82 corridor and out by the Pickens County Courthouse and its famous window pane all get the same response.
Carrollton has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

- The frame is bent or racked out of squareUsually from being forced back into a track it was not sitting right in.
- Mesh sagging and billowingLoose or dried-out spline that is no longer holding the mesh tight.
- The mesh is torn or has holesStraightforward rescreen, and worth doing before the tear spreads.
- The spline has lifted out of the channel at a cornerShrunken or hardened spline, usually after several summers of UV exposure.
- Pets have pushed through the bottomA rescreen with pet-resistant mesh and often a pet grille.

Humidity stays high from late spring through September, which is exactly when wood doors that fit fine in winter start dragging on the jamb.
Humidity corrodes the steel components in screen rollers and rusts the tiny springs in adjusters, so screens seize up and drop out of their track.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the Pickens County Courthouse and its famous window pane and the rest of Carrollton.
Local factors we account for in Carrollton: sustained humidity and heavy rainfall — typical of west Alabama.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our screen door repair process
- 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. We assess whether the opening has shifted before adjusting hardware, since correcting the symptom here tends not to hold.
- Choose mesh for the jobStandard, pet-resistant, solar or fine insect mesh. The right one depends on the door, the exposure and what tore the last one.
- Rescreen with correct tensionToo tight and the frame bows, too loose and it billows. Even tension is what keeps a screen flat and quiet.
- Fit and adjust the rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel.
- 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 Carrollton
Pricing on screen door repair depends on what has actually failed, which is why we talk it through before quoting. These are the things that move the number:
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- the size of the panel
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 Carrollton.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Carrollton: questions we get asked
My sliding screen keeps falling out. Why does it keep happening?
The rollers have worn down so the panel is riding too low and the top rail no longer sits in the head channel. Lifting it back in without replacing the rollers means it will come out again, usually within days.
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 Carrollton summers.
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.
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 Pickens County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
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 Carrollton the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
Can a bent screen frame be straightened?
Sometimes. Light aluminum frames can often be brought back to square, but a badly racked frame is usually better replaced, and a custom panel is not expensive.
