Whether you are near Wilson Lake, over in Underwood Road, or on the the Chisholm Road corridor side of Underwood-Petersville, it is the same coverage and the same crew.
Underwood-Petersville 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.

Wilson and Pickwick backwater keeps the air damp year round here, which is hard on untreated wood jambs and on any hardware with a steel core.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
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.
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 Underwood-Petersville: heavy rainfall and winter freezes — typical of the Shoals.

- Check whether it is the screen or the trackA screen that keeps coming out is usually a roller and track problem, and rescreening it would not solve anything.
- Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered. In the Shoals we check for damp-driven movement in timber frames, which is behind a lot of what gets blamed on hardware.
- Choose mesh for the jobStandard, pet-resistant, solar or fine insect mesh. The right one depends on the door, the exposure and what tore the last one.
- 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.
- 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 Underwood-Petersville, the main variables are these:
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
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 Underwood-Petersville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Underwood-Petersville: questions we get asked
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Underwood-Petersville 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.
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.
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.
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 Lauderdale 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 Underwood-Petersville the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
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.
