Screen Door Repair in Evergreen, AL

The most common screen door call we get is a sliding screen that has fallen out of its track for the third time. That is a roller and track problem, not a screen problem, and no amount of forcing it back up will fix it.

Screen Door Repair — Evergreen, Alabama

We know Evergreen well: the older housing around Downtown Evergreen, the newer construction toward the courthouse square, and everything out past the Conecuh County Courthouse.

Evergreen 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 screen door repair problems we see most in Evergreen

  • The spline has lifted out of the channel at a cornerShrunken or hardened spline, usually after several summers of UV exposure.
  • Sun damage has made the mesh brittleUV degradation, common on south and west facing doors.
  • 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.
  • Pets have pushed through the bottomA rescreen with pet-resistant mesh and often a pet grille.
  • 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.

How conditions in Evergreen affect screen door repair

The Wiregrass gets punishing summer heat and enough tropical rain that hurricane remnants are a normal part of the year, not an exception. Sally and Michael both did door and window damage this far inland.

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.

Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Evergreen summer and one that does not.

Local factors we account for in Evergreen: blowing sand and heavy rainfall — typical of the Wiregrass.

How a Evergreen screen door repair visit works

  1. 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.
  2. Assess the frame for squareA racked frame will not sit in the track properly no matter what mesh is in it.
  3. Match the mesh to the exposureOn a sun-facing opening, standard fibreglass will be brittle within a couple of seasons, so we specify accordingly. In the Wiregrass we check tracks and channels for fine sand, which grinds moving parts flat faster than anything else in the state.
  4. Rescreen with correct tensionToo tight and the frame bows, too loose and it billows. Even tension is what keeps a screen flat and quiet.
  5. Fit and adjust the rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting.
  6. Test the full travelEnd to end, several times, with the latch engaging cleanly at the close.

What affects the cost of screen door repair in Evergreen

There is no single price for screen door repair in Evergreen, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:

  • rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
  • the size of the panel
  • the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
  • custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
  • storm door hardware such as closers and latches

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 Evergreen.

Screen door repair in Evergreen: 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 Evergreen take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.

How long does a rescreen take?

Usually under an hour per panel in Evergreen. 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.

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.

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 Evergreen 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.
