Screen Door Repair in Rogersville, AL

Screen doors get treated as disposable, which is a shame because most of what fails on them costs very little to fix. Mesh, spline, rollers and corner keys are all replaceable, and the frame is usually fine.

Screen Door Repair — Rogersville, Alabama

We know Rogersville well: the older housing around Main Street, the newer construction toward Lee Street, and everything out past Joe Wheeler State Park.

Rogersville 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.

Why screen door repair fails in the Shoals

Wilson and Pickwick backwater keeps the air damp year round here, which is hard on untreated wood jambs and on any hardware with a steel core.

Humidity corrodes the steel components in screen rollers and rusts the tiny springs in adjusters, so screens seize up and drop out of their track.

Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.

We see the pattern often enough across Lauderdale County that we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.

Local factors we account for in Rogersville: sustained humidity and heavy rainfall — typical of the Shoals.

How we approach screen door repair

  1. 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.
  2. Assess the frame for squareA racked frame will not sit in the track properly no matter what mesh is in it.
  3. 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.
  4. Rescreen with correct tensionEven tension and properly seated spline so the mesh does not sag or pull out of the channel.
  5. Fit and adjust the rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting. In the Shoals we check for damp-driven movement in timber frames, which is behind a lot of what gets blamed on hardware.
  6. Test the full travelThe door should move with one finger, latch cleanly and stay in the track.

What affects the cost of screen door repair in Rogersville

Every screen door repair call in Lauderdale County is a little different, and the cost follows what the door actually needs:

  • storm door hardware such as closers and latches
  • the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
  • rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
  • 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 Rogersville.

Screen door repair in Rogersville: 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.

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 Rogersville summers.

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.

My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?

UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Rogersville take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.

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.

Do you make custom-size screens?

Yes. Older openings in Rogersville 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.
