We service every part of Falkville, including Main Street and the I-65 exit, and the nearby Morgan County towns like Decatur and Hartselle.
A lot of what we see in Morgan 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.

- Pets have pushed through the bottomA rescreen with pet-resistant mesh and often a pet grille.
- The storm door closer has torn out of the frameWind caught the door; the mounting needs repair and a wind chain fitted.
- The mesh is torn or has holesStraightforward rescreen, and worth doing before the tear spreads.
- The mesh has a shiny worn stripe near the handleAbrasion from contact with the track or jamb, meaning the frame is no longer running true.
- The screen tilts and jams halfway acrossOne roller seized while the other still turns, so the frame is walking out of square.
- The latch does not line upThe door has sagged or the frame has moved.

River humidity off the Tennessee keeps interior air damp well into October, then the first hard freeze arrives and every seal, sweep and gasket in the house gets tested overnight.
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.
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.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Falkville summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Falkville: winter freezes and storm wind — typical of the Tennessee Valley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How a Falkville screen door repair visit works
- 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. Through the Valley we check for seasonal swelling before removing any material, because a door planed in August is a door with a gap in January.
- 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 rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel.
- Test the full travelThe door should move with one finger, latch cleanly and stay in the track.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Falkville
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 Falkville, the main variables are these:
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- the size of the panel
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 Falkville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Falkville: questions we get asked
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 Morgan County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
Do you repair storm doors as well as screens?
Yes, including closers, latches, sweeps, hinges and glass or screen inserts. Storm door closers that have torn out of the frame after a gust are one of the most common calls.
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 Falkville summers.
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.
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.
