We cover Stapleton and the rest of Baldwin County, from the AL-59 corridor across to Mobile Bay, and we are out this way often enough that Daphne and Fairhope are on the same run.
Between the established parts of Stapleton and the newer subdivisions, we see two different kinds of failure: worn-out frames on one side of town and worn-out hardware on the other.

Blowing sand gets into everything down here. Tracks, screen channels, thresholds and lock cylinders all collect it, and it acts like sandpaper on moving parts.
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.
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 factor that in on every screen door repair job around the Tensaw River delta and the rest of Stapleton.
Local factors we account for in Stapleton: storm wind and heavy rainfall — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

- 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.
- Fit and adjust the rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting. On the coast we also check every fastener on the opening, because salt finds plated screws long before it touches the door itself.
- 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 Stapleton
What a screen door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- the size of the panel
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
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 Stapleton.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Stapleton: 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.
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Stapleton. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
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 Baldwin County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
My screen mesh has gone brittle and crumbles. What happened?
UV exposure. Screens on the south and west sides of a house in Stapleton take a lot of sun, and standard fiberglass mesh eventually degrades. Solar mesh lasts longer and cuts heat at the same time.
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.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Stapleton 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.
