Our territory takes in Camp Hill and the communities around it in Tallapoosa County, so calls from Main Street, the AL-50 corridor and out by Lake Martin's east side all get the same response.
A lot of what we see in Tallapoosa 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why screen door repair fails in east central Alabama
East central Alabama runs humid most of the year with mild winters, so wood movement is gradual but constant rather than dramatic.
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.
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.
It is why the same repair done properly in Camp Hill lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Camp Hill: sustained humidity and storm wind — typical of east central Alabama.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach screen door repair
- 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.
- 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. In east Alabama we check exposure and seasonal movement together, since most openings here see both and the combination is what causes failures.
- 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Camp Hill
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 size of the panel
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- 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 Camp Hill.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Camp Hill: questions we get asked
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.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Camp Hill 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.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Camp Hill. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
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.
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.
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 Camp Hill the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
