Between Greensboro proper, the Downtown Greensboro area and the newer building out toward Main Street, we stay busy in Hale County, and Moundville is close enough that we are often nearby.
A lot of what we see in Hale County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What Greensboro weather does to screen door repair
The wet winter and dry late-summer cycle here is severe enough that a door adjusted perfectly in February can bind badly by September.
When the door frame the screen track is attached to moves, the screen track goes out of parallel with it, and the panel that used to slide fine starts binding at one end of its travel.
Rain drives grit and organic debris into the screen track, and that debris packs down under the rollers and holds moisture against the frame.
It is why the same repair done properly in Greensboro lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Greensboro: soil movement and heavy rainfall — typical of the Black Belt.

- 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 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. On prairie clay we look at the whole opening for racking, because a door here is usually reporting a foundation movement rather than a hardware fault.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Greensboro
There is no single price for screen door repair in Greensboro, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
- the size of the panel
- rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
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 Greensboro.

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