If you are anywhere between the Scenic 98 corridor and the Grand Hotel area, or out toward the Grand Hotel Golf Resort, we cover it, along with the rest of Baldwin County.
The mix of housing here matters for door work. Older Point Clear 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.

Between roughly 65 inches of rain a year, near-constant humidity and a June-to-November hurricane season, coastal doors work harder than doors anywhere else in Alabama.
Blowing sand abrades screen mesh and packs into the screen track, and a screen track full of sand will not let a panel roll no matter how good the rollers are.
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 Point Clear summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Point Clear: blowing sand and heavy rainfall — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

- Work out whether it is the screen or the trackA screen that jams is often a track problem. Replacing rollers in a damaged track fixes nothing.
- 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 tensionEven tension and properly seated spline so the mesh does not sag or pull out of the channel.
- Fit and adjust the rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting.
- Test the full travelEnd to end, several times, with the latch engaging cleanly at the close. We check the drainage path on every coastal opening, because wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain never would.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Point Clear
What a screen door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- the size of the panel
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- 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 Point Clear.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Point Clear: 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 Baldwin County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Point Clear. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
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 Point Clear the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
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.
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.
