Whether you are near Double Oak Mountain, over in the Eagle Point community, or on the the US-280 corridor side of Eagle Point, it is the same coverage and the same crew.
A lot of what we see in Shelby County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.

The metro runs humid from April to October, then flips to freezing nights in January, and hardware that was fine in August starts binding in winter.
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.
When the door frame the screen track is attached to moves, the screen track goes out of parallel with it, and the panel that used to slide fine starts binding at one end of its travel.
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 Eagle Point: sustained humidity and soil movement — typical of the Birmingham metro.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What happens when we get there
- 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.
- Assess the frame for squareA racked frame will not sit in the track properly no matter what mesh is in it.
- 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 flush the running surfaces properly on metro jobs rather than just wiping them, since fine clay packs into places a cloth will not reach.
- 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.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.
Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Eagle Point
There is no single price for screen door repair in Eagle Point, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- the size of the panel
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
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 Eagle Point.

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