We take Moody work across the whole town, the Moody Parkway corridor through Kelly Creek, and we cross into Pell City and Springville on the same trips.
Door problems in Moody 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why screen door repair fails in the Appalachian foothills
Storms coming off the ridges dump a lot of water in a short time, and any door with a compromised threshold pan will show it on the floor inside.
When the door frame the screen track is attached to moves, the screen track goes out of parallel with it, and the panel that used to slide fine starts binding at one end of its travel.
Cold makes screen spline brittle and it shrinks in the channel, which is why mesh often comes loose along one edge after a hard winter even though nothing touched it.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the I-20 interchange and the rest of Moody.
Local factors we account for in Moody: soil movement and winter freezes — typical of the Appalachian foothills.

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.
- 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 tensionEven tension and properly seated spline so the mesh does not sag or pull out of the channel.
- Fit and adjust the rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting.
- Test the full travelEnd to end, several times, with the latch engaging cleanly at the close. Foothill jobs get assessed for wind loading, because doors here take gusts that flatten seals unevenly.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Moody
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 Moody, the main variables are these:
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- the size of the panel
- 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 Moody.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Moody: 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 St. Clair 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 Moody the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
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 Moody summers.
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 Moody 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.
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.
