Screen Door Repair in Hartford, AL

The most common screen door call we get is a sliding screen that has fallen out of its track for the third time. That is a roller and track problem, not a screen problem, and no amount of forcing it back up will fix it.

What we see on screen door repair around Geneva County

Sandy soil here drains fast but also shifts, and blowing sand is a constant presence in sliding door tracks and screen channels.

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.

Ultraviolet light is what kills screen mesh. Standard fiberglass on a south or west exposure goes brittle and crumbles at the edges, which is why solar mesh is worth the difference on sunny elevations.

We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the Hartford town square and the rest of Hartford.

Local factors we account for in Hartford: storm wind and sun and heat load — typical of the Wiregrass.

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. Match the mesh to the exposureOn a sun-facing opening, standard fibreglass will be brittle within a couple of seasons, so we specify accordingly. Sandy-soil jobs get their running surfaces cleaned out thoroughly, because new rollers fitted into a gritty track will not last a year.
  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 rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel.
  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 Hartford

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

  • the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
  • custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
  • 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 Hartford.

Screen door repair in Hartford: questions we get asked

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 Hartford 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.

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 Hartford 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.

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.

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.
