If you are anywhere between the AL-79 corridor and Main Street, or out toward the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior, we cover it, along with the rest of Blount County.
Cleveland 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.

Up on the plateau the thermometer reads several degrees colder than the valley, and it stays below freezing longer. Ice storms are a real planning item here, not a novelty.
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.
Ice in the screen track jams the panel, and forcing a screen door out of frozen track is the most common way people bend a screen frame past the point of straightening.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior and the rest of Cleveland.
Local factors we account for in Cleveland: winter freezes and ice and sleet — typical of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateau.

- 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.
- Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered. On the mountain we check weatherstrip condition carefully, because repeated hard freezes make it brittle long before it looks worn.
- Choose the right meshStandard fiberglass, pet-resistant, solar or fine mesh, depending on pets, sun exposure and what insects you are dealing with.
- 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 travelThe door should move with one finger, latch cleanly and stay in the track.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Cleveland
Every screen door repair call in Blount 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
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- 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 Cleveland.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Cleveland: 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 Cleveland summers.
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 Cleveland the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
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 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.
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 Blount County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
