Priceville sits in Morgan County, and our work here runs from the AL-67 corridor out past the I-65 interchange, with Decatur and Hartselle close enough that we are usually in the area anyway.
A lot of what we see in Morgan County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.
One call gets you an answer.We will tell you what is wrong and what it takes to fix.

These are the screen door repair faults we are called out to most often in Priceville. If you recognise one, the underlying cause is usually the second half of the line.
- The mesh has a shiny worn stripe near the handleAbrasion from contact with the track or jamb, meaning the frame is no longer running true.
- The screen track itself is damagedThe channel the screen rides in has been bent or worn.
- The screen door falls out of the trackWorn screen rollers or a bent top rail that no longer holds the panel in the head channel.
- Pets have pushed through the bottomA rescreen with pet-resistant mesh and often a pet grille.
- The screen tilts and jams halfway acrossOne roller seized while the other still turns, so the frame is walking out of square.
- Corners have come apartFailed corner keys, which are replaceable.

River humidity off the Tennessee keeps interior air damp well into October, then the first hard freeze arrives and every seal, sweep and gasket in the house gets tested overnight.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
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.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the I-65 interchange and the rest of Priceville.
Local factors we account for in Priceville: heavy rainfall and winter freezes — typical of the Tennessee Valley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach screen door repair
- 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 rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel.
- Test the full travelEnd to end, several times, with the latch engaging cleanly at the close. Valley jobs get checked across the humidity swing, so we adjust for the range rather than for the day we happen to be there.

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

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Priceville: questions we get asked
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 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 Morgan County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Priceville take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
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.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Priceville 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.
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.
