East central Alabama runs humid most of the year with mild winters, so wood movement is gradual but constant rather than dramatic.
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.
Humidity corrodes the steel components in screen rollers and rusts the tiny springs in adjusters, so screens seize up and drop out of their track.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Alexander City summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Alexander City: storm wind and sustained humidity — typical of east central Alabama.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our screen door repair process
- 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.
- Assess the frame for squareA racked frame will not sit in the track properly no matter what mesh is in it. In east Alabama we check exposure and seasonal movement together, since most openings here see both and the combination is what causes failures.
- 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 tensionToo tight and the frame bows, too loose and it billows. Even tension is what keeps a screen flat and quiet.
- Fit and adjust the rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting.
- 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 Alexander City
There is no single price for screen door repair in Alexander City, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:
- 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
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Alexander City: 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 Tallapoosa County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
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 Alexander City the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
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.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Alexander City 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.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Alexander City. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
