We service every part of Grant, including Main Street and the Cathedral Caverns Road corridor, and the nearby Marshall County towns like Albertville and Boaz.
Grant 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What Grant weather does to screen door repair
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.
Grit accumulating in the screen track is the reason most screens get hard to move, and it wears the small plastic rollers far faster than the weight of the panel ever would.
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.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Grant summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Grant: grit and dust and winter freezes — typical of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateau.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What happens when we get there
- 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.
- Choose mesh for the jobStandard, pet-resistant, solar or fine insect mesh. The right one depends on the door, the exposure and what tore the last one.
- 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 rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel. Plateau jobs get seals and lubricants rated for freezing temperatures, since standard products stiffen and stop working when it matters.
- 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 Grant
What a screen door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- the size of the panel
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
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 Grant.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Grant: questions we get asked
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Grant take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
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 Marshall County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
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.
Will a solar screen make my room cooler?
It helps noticeably on a sunny exposure. Solar mesh blocks a good portion of the heat before it reaches the glass, which matters on west-facing doors during Grant summers.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Grant 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 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.
