Between Woodstock proper, the the I-20/59 exit 97 corridor area and the newer building out toward the Cahaba River, we stay busy in Bibb County, and Centreville is close enough that we are often nearby.
Woodstock 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.

Humidity stays high from late spring through September, which is exactly when wood doors that fit fine in winter start dragging on the jamb.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
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.
We factor that in on every screen door repair job around the Cahaba River and the rest of Woodstock.
Local factors we account for in Woodstock: heavy rainfall and storm wind — typical of west Alabama.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our screen door repair process
- 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.
- Assess the frame for squareA racked frame will not sit in the track properly no matter what mesh is in it.
- Choose mesh for the jobStandard, pet-resistant, solar or fine insect mesh. The right one depends on the door, the exposure and what tore the last one.
- 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.
- Test the full travelThe door should move with one finger, latch cleanly and stay in the track. We assess whether the opening has shifted before adjusting hardware, since correcting the symptom here tends not to hold.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Woodstock
Every screen door repair call in Bibb 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
- 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 Woodstock.

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 Woodstock the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
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.
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.
Do you make custom-size screens?
Yes. Older openings in Woodstock 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.
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.
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 Woodstock summers.
