We service every part of Coaling, including the I-20/59 exit 79 corridor and the Black Warrior River, and the nearby Tuscaloosa County towns like Northport and Cottondale.
A lot of what we see in Tuscaloosa 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why screen door repair fails in west Alabama
West Alabama collects a lot of rain, and it comes in hard bursts. Doors here fail at the bottom first, where water sits against the sweep and the end grain.
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.
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.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around Hurricane Creek and the rest of Coaling.
Local factors we account for in Coaling: storm wind and sustained humidity — typical of west Alabama.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What happens when we get there
- 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.
- 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 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 rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting. Jobs out this way get their fixings checked into framing rather than casing, which is what stops the sag coming back.
- 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 Coaling
We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a screen door repair job in Coaling, the main variables are these:
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- the size of the panel
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- 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 Coaling.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Coaling: questions we get asked
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 Tuscaloosa County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Coaling the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
