Most of our Loxley calls come from the US-90 corridor and the I-10 exit 44 area, though we work the whole Baldwin County side of it and get out to Daphne regularly.
Between the established parts of Loxley 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why screen door repair fails in the Alabama Gulf Coast
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.
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.
Salt corrodes aluminum screen frames and destroys standard fiberglass mesh, and screens on coastal properties need marine-grade or vinyl-coated mesh if they are going to last more than a couple of seasons.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Loxley summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Loxley: storm wind and salt air — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

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. We check the drainage path on every coastal opening, because wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain never would.
- 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 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.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.
Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Loxley
Pricing on screen door repair depends on what has actually failed, which is why we talk it through before quoting. These are the things that move the number:
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- the size of the panel
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
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 Loxley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Loxley: 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 Loxley take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Loxley 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.
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 Loxley summers.
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.
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.
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.
