Our Enterprise customers are spread from Downtown Enterprise to the Boll Weevil Circle and out around the Boll Weevil Monument, and we serve the surrounding Coffee County communities on the same schedule.

Door problems in Enterprise 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.

  • The spline has lifted out of the channel at a cornerShrunken or hardened spline, usually after several summers of UV exposure.
  • The mesh is torn or has holesStraightforward rescreen, and worth doing before the tear spreads.
  • The latch does not line upThe door has sagged or the frame has moved.
  • The screen tilts and jams halfway acrossOne roller seized while the other still turns, so the frame is walking out of square.

Why screen door repair fails in the Wiregrass

Sandy soil here drains fast but also shifts, and blowing sand is a constant presence in sliding door tracks and screen channels.

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.

Wind gets behind a screen panel and pushes it out of the track, and on hinged screen and storm doors a gust catching the door is what tears closers out of the frame.

We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the Boll Weevil Monument and the rest of Enterprise.

Local factors we account for in Enterprise: blowing sand and storm wind — typical of the Wiregrass.

Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.

Our screen door repair process

  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. Choose the right meshStandard fiberglass, pet-resistant, solar or fine mesh, depending on pets, sun exposure and what insects you are dealing with.
  4. Rescreen with correct tensionToo tight and the frame bows, too loose and it billows. Even tension is what keeps a screen flat and quiet.
  5. Fit and adjust the rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel.
  6. Test the full travelEnd to end, several times, with the latch engaging cleanly at the close. In the Wiregrass we check tracks and channels for fine sand, which grinds moving parts flat faster than anything else in the state.

What affects the cost of screen door repair in Enterprise

What a screen door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:

  • storm door hardware such as closers and latches
  • roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
  • rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
  • the size of the panel
  • custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable

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 Enterprise.

One call gets you an answer.We will tell you what is wrong and what it takes to fix.

Screen door repair in Enterprise: questions we get asked

Do you make custom-size screens?

Yes. Older openings in Enterprise 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.

Can a bent screen frame be straightened?

Sometimes. Light aluminum frames can often be brought back to square, but a badly racked frame is usually better replaced, and a custom panel is not expensive.

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

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.

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 Enterprise summers.
