We know Tallassee well: the older housing around Downtown Tallassee, the newer construction toward the Gilmer Avenue corridor, and everything out past the Tallassee Falls on the Tallapoosa.
Door problems in Tallassee 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.

Remnants of Gulf systems still carry serious rain this far inland, and doors on the south and west sides of a house take the brunt of it.
Humidity corrodes the steel components in screen rollers and rusts the tiny springs in adjusters, so screens seize up and drop out of their track.
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 Tallassee Falls on the Tallapoosa and the rest of Tallassee.
Local factors we account for in Tallassee: sustained humidity and heavy rainfall — typical of the River Region.

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 tensionToo tight and the frame bows, too loose and it billows. Even tension is what keeps a screen flat and quiet. We measure the reveal before and after on River Region jobs, so seasonal movement can be told apart from a genuine fault.
- 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.

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 Tallassee, the main variables are these:
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- the size of the panel

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 Tallassee.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Tallassee: questions we get asked
My storm door blew open and broke. Can it be repaired?
Usually yes: the closer and its mounting take the damage. We repair the mounting and fit a wind chain so the next gust does not do the same thing.
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.
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.
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 Tallassee summers.
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Tallassee take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Tallassee 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.
