Our territory takes in Fyffe and the communities around it in DeKalb County, so calls from Main Street, County Road 43 and out by Sand Mountain farmland all get the same response.
Fyffe has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How conditions in Fyffe affect screen door repair
Snow and sleet are more common here than almost anywhere else in Alabama, and meltwater refreezing in a sliding door track is a recurring winter problem.
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.
Grit accumulating in the screen track is the reason most screens get hard to move, and it wears the small plastic rollers far faster than the weight of the panel ever would.
It is why the same repair done properly in Fyffe lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Fyffe: winter freezes and grit and dust — typical of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateau.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our screen door repair process
- 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.
- 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 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. We check the drainage for ice blockage on mountain openings, which is a fault that only shows up on the coldest days.
- Test the full travelEnd to end, several times, with the latch engaging cleanly at the close.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Fyffe
Pricing on screen door repair depends on what has actually failed, which is why we talk it through before quoting. These are the things that move the number:
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- the size of the panel
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
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 Fyffe.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Fyffe: 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 DeKalb 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 Fyffe 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.
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 Fyffe summers.
My sliding screen keeps falling out. Why does it keep happening?
The rollers have worn down so the panel is riding too low and the top rail no longer sits in the head channel. Lifting it back in without replacing the rollers means it will come out again, usually within days.
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.
