Ardmore is part of our regular Limestone County territory, and between Main Street, the I-65 exit corridor and the the Alabama-Tennessee state line running through town area we are here most weeks.
The mix of housing here matters for door work. Older Ardmore homes have wood frames and hardware worth repairing rather than replacing, while newer construction tends to have vinyl and aluminum systems where the moving parts wear out long before anything else does.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why screen door repair fails in the Tennessee Valley
The Tennessee Valley runs a wider temperature swing than most of Alabama. Summer humidity sits on aluminum and vinyl frames for months, then December through February drops below freezing dozens of nights, and the valley picks up an ice event every few winters.
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.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Ardmore summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Ardmore: storm wind and heavy rainfall — typical of the Tennessee Valley.

- 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.
- Assess the frame for squareA racked frame will not sit in the track properly no matter what mesh is in it. 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.
- 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 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 Ardmore
Every screen door repair call in Limestone County is a little different, and the cost follows what the door actually needs:
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- the size of the panel
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
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 Ardmore.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Ardmore: 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 Limestone County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
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.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Ardmore. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
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 Ardmore the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Ardmore 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.
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Ardmore take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
