Our Glencoe customers are spread from the US-431 corridor to Chastain Boulevard and out around the Coosa River, and we serve the surrounding Etowah County communities on the same schedule.
Glencoe 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.

Storms coming off the ridges dump a lot of water in a short time, and any door with a compromised threshold pan will show it on the floor inside.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
When the door frame the screen track is attached to moves, the screen track goes out of parallel with it, and the panel that used to slide fine starts binding at one end of its travel.
It is why the same repair done properly in Glencoe lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Glencoe: heavy rainfall and soil movement — typical of the Appalachian foothills.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How a Glencoe screen door repair visit works
- 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.
- 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. Foothill jobs get assessed for wind loading, because doors here take gusts that flatten seals unevenly.
- Test the full travelEnd to end, several times, with the latch engaging cleanly at the close.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Glencoe
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 Glencoe, the main variables are these:
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
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 Glencoe.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Glencoe: questions we get asked
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.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Glencoe. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
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.
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 Glencoe 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.
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 Glencoe the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
