Screen Door Repair in Rehobeth, 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.

  • The frame is bent or racked out of squareUsually from being forced back into a track it was not sitting right in.
  • 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.
  • Corners have come apartFailed corner keys, which are replaceable.
  • Sun damage has made the mesh brittleUV degradation, common on south and west facing doors.

What Rehobeth weather does to screen door repair

Sandy soil here drains fast but also shifts, and blowing sand is a constant presence in sliding door tracks and screen channels.

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 see the pattern often enough across Houston County that we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.

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

How we approach screen door repair

  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. Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered.
  3. Choose the right meshStandard fiberglass, pet-resistant, solar or fine mesh, depending on pets, sun exposure and what insects you are dealing with.
  4. Rescreen with correct tensionEven tension and properly seated spline so the mesh does not sag or pull out of the channel.
  5. Fit and adjust the rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel.
  6. 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.

What affects the cost of screen door repair in Rehobeth

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 Rehobeth, the main variables are these:

  • the size of the panel
  • roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
  • the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
  • custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
  • rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame

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 Rehobeth.

Screen door repair in Rehobeth: questions we get asked

How long does a rescreen take?

Usually under an hour per panel in Rehobeth. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.

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.

Do you make custom-size screens?

Yes. Older openings in Rehobeth 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.

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 Rehobeth summers.

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.

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 Rehobeth the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
