Our territory takes in Frisco City and the communities around it in Monroe County, so calls from Main Street, the AL-21 corridor and out by the Frisco City depot all get the same response.
Between the established parts of Frisco City and the newer subdivisions, we see two different kinds of failure: worn-out frames on one side of town and worn-out hardware on the other.

Salt air is the single biggest factor on the coast. It attacks the steel inside roller bearings, hinge pins, latch mechanisms and closer springs, and it does it year round whether or not a storm ever comes.
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.
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 see the pattern often enough across Monroe County that we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.
Local factors we account for in Frisco City: sustained humidity and storm wind — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

- 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. We check the drainage path on every coastal opening, because wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain never would.
- 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 Frisco City
What a screen door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- 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 Frisco City.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Frisco City: 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.
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 Frisco 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.
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.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Frisco City. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
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 Monroe County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
