West Alabama collects a lot of rain, and it comes in hard bursts. Doors here fail at the bottom first, where water sits against the sweep and the end grain.
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.
It is why the same repair done properly in Double Springs lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Double Springs: sustained humidity and heavy rainfall — typical of west Alabama.

- 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.
- 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 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.
- Test the full travelThe door should move with one finger, latch cleanly and stay in the track. Across west Alabama we check the frame anchorage carefully, because seasonal soil movement works fixings loose over time.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Double Springs
What a screen door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- the size of the panel
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- 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 Double Springs.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Double Springs: questions we get asked
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.
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Double Springs 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 Double Springs the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
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 Double Springs 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 Winston County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Double Springs. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
