If you are anywhere between Downtown Oneonta and Second Avenue East, or out toward the Blount County Courthouse, we cover it, along with the rest of Blount County.
Oneonta 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.

Up on the plateau the thermometer reads several degrees colder than the valley, and it stays below freezing longer. Ice storms are a real planning item here, not a novelty.
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.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the Blount County Courthouse and the rest of Oneonta.
Local factors we account for in Oneonta: winter freezes and storm wind — typical of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateau.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach screen door repair
- Check it against the openingWe run the frame through its travel and watch where it tightens, which shows whether the fault is the frame or what it runs in.
- 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. On the mountain we check weatherstrip condition carefully, because repeated hard freezes make it brittle long before it looks worn.
- 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Oneonta
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 Oneonta, the main variables are these:
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- the size of the panel
- 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 Oneonta.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Oneonta: questions we get asked
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.
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.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Oneonta 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.
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.
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.
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 Oneonta the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.
