We service every part of Remlap, including the AL-75 corridor and the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior, and the nearby Blount County towns like Oneonta and Cleveland.
Remlap 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.

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.
Ice in the screen track jams the panel, and forcing a screen door out of frozen track is the most common way people bend a screen frame past the point of straightening.
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.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around Straight Mountain and the rest of Remlap.
Local factors we account for in Remlap: ice and sleet and winter freezes — typical of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateau.

- Work out whether it is the screen or the trackA screen that jams is often a track problem. Replacing rollers in a damaged track fixes nothing.
- Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered. Plateau jobs get seals and lubricants rated for freezing temperatures, since standard products stiffen and stop working when it matters.
- Match the mesh to the exposureOn a sun-facing opening, standard fibreglass will be brittle within a couple of seasons, so we specify accordingly.
- 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 rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting.
- 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 Remlap
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
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- 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 Remlap.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Remlap: questions we get asked
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Remlap. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
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 screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Remlap take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
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 Blount 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 Remlap 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.
