We service every part of Susan Moore, including the AL-75 corridor and the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior, and the nearby Blount County towns like Oneonta and Cleveland.
Susan Moore 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 frame is bent or racked out of squareUsually from being forced back into a track it was not sitting right in.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How conditions in Susan Moore affect screen door repair
Snow and sleet are more common here than almost anywhere else in Alabama, and meltwater refreezing in a sliding door track is a recurring winter problem.
Ice in the screen track jams the panel, and forcing a screen door out of frozen track is the most common way people bend a screen frame past the point of straightening.
Grit accumulating in the screen track is the reason most screens get hard to move, and it wears the small plastic rollers far faster than the weight of the panel ever would.
None of it is a reason to replace a door. It is a reason to use the right parts and set the door up correctly in the first place.
Local factors we account for in Susan Moore: ice and sleet and grit and dust — typical of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateau.

- 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.
- Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered.
- 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 rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel. We check the drainage for ice blockage on mountain openings, which is a fault that only shows up on the coldest days.
- Test the full travelThe door should move with one finger, latch cleanly and stay in the track.

What a screen door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- the size of the panel
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Susan Moore: questions we get asked
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.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Susan Moore. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
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 Blount County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Susan Moore take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
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 Susan Moore summers.
