  • The spline has lifted out of the channel at a cornerShrunken or hardened spline, usually after several summers of UV exposure.
  • The screen tilts and jams halfway acrossOne roller seized while the other still turns, so the frame is walking out of square.
  • The storm door blew open and bent the armNo wind chain fitted, or a failed hold-open washer on the closer.
  • The storm door closer has torn out of the frameWind caught the door; the mounting needs repair and a wind chain fitted.

How conditions in Daleville affect 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.

Ultraviolet light is what kills screen mesh. Standard fiberglass on a south or west exposure goes brittle and crumbles at the edges, which is why solar mesh is worth the difference on sunny elevations.

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.

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

Local factors we account for in Daleville: sun and heat load and blowing sand — typical of the Wiregrass.

What happens when we get there

  1. 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.
  2. Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered.
  3. Match the mesh to the exposureOn a sun-facing opening, standard fibreglass will be brittle within a couple of seasons, so we specify accordingly.
  4. Rescreen with correct tensionEven tension and properly seated spline so the mesh does not sag or pull out of the channel. In the Wiregrass we check tracks and channels for fine sand, which grinds moving parts flat faster than anything else in the state.
  5. Fit and adjust the rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting.
  6. Test the full travelEnd to end, several times, with the latch engaging cleanly at the close.

What affects the cost of screen door repair in Daleville

There is no single price for screen door repair in Daleville, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:

  • roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
  • the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
  • 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 Daleville.

Screen door repair in Daleville: questions we get asked

My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?

UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Daleville take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.

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

Do you make custom-size screens?

Yes. Older openings in Daleville 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.

How long does a rescreen take?

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

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 Daleville summers.

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 Dale County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
