Screen Door & Window Screen Repair in Orlando, FL
Torn screens, bent frames and sliding screen doors that stick or come off the track can usually be repaired, so you can open up without letting the bugs in.
The service
What screen repair covers
Sliding screen doors and window screens.
Screens are made of mesh held in a light frame by a rubber spline. Sliding screen doors also run on small rollers along their own track.
Mesh tears and sags, frames bend, splines dry out and pop loose, and screen door rollers wear out so the door drags or jumps off the track.
Screen repair can mean rescreening an existing frame with new mesh, straightening or replacing a frame, or replacing the rollers and handle on a sliding screen door.

FAQ
Screen repair questions
What people ask most about screen repair.
Can a torn screen be fixed without a new frame?
Usually, yes. If the frame is in good shape, it can be rescreened with new mesh.
Why does my sliding screen door keep coming off the track?
The most common causes are worn rollers, rollers set at the wrong height, or a bent frame. Fixing the cause keeps it on the track.
Do you repair window screens as well as screen doors?
Yes. Both window screens and sliding screen doors are repaired.
Can my screen door be adjusted instead of repaired?
Sometimes. If the rollers are in good shape, adjusting their height may be enough to make the door slide properly.
