If you are anywhere between Downtown Greenville and the courthouse square, or out toward the Butler County Courthouse, we cover it, along with the rest of Butler County.
Greenville 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 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.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the Butler County Courthouse and the rest of Greenville.
Local factors we account for in Greenville: blowing sand and heavy rainfall — typical of the Wiregrass.

- 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.
- Assess the frame for squareA racked frame will not sit in the track properly no matter what mesh is in it.
- 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 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.
- 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. Sandy-soil jobs get their running surfaces cleaned out thoroughly, because new rollers fitted into a gritty track will not last a year.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Greenville
There is no single price for screen door repair in Greenville, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:
- the size of the panel
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
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 Greenville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Greenville: questions we get asked
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 Greenville summers.
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Greenville take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
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.
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.
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 Butler County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
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.
