We service every part of Jemison, including Main Street and the I-65 exit 219 corridor, and the nearby Chilton County towns like Clanton and Thorsby.
Door problems in Jemison tend to sort into two groups: older homes where the frames and jambs have taken decades of weather, and newer builds where the hardware was the cheapest part of the package and has already given up.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why screen door repair fails in the River Region
Remnants of Gulf systems still carry serious rain this far inland, and doors on the south and west sides of a house take the brunt of it.
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.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
None of it is a reason to replace a door. It is a reason to use the right parts and set the door up correctly in the first place.
Local factors we account for in Jemison: sun and heat load and heavy rainfall — typical of the River Region.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What happens when we get there
- Work out whether it is the screen or the trackA screen that jams is often a track problem. Replacing rollers in a damaged track fixes nothing.
- Assess the frame for squareA racked frame will not sit in the track properly no matter what mesh is in it.
- 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 tensionEven tension and properly seated spline so the mesh does not sag or pull out of the channel.
- Fit and adjust the rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel. We measure the reveal before and after on River Region jobs, so seasonal movement can be told apart from a genuine fault.
- Check it stays in the trackA screen that can be lifted out is one gust from being on the patio, so the height and the guides get set properly.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Jemison
We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a screen door repair job in Jemison, the main variables are these:
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- the size of the panel
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 Jemison.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Jemison: questions we get asked
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 Jemison the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Jemison take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
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 Chilton County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
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.
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.
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.
