# Door Screen Repair > Screen doors live hard lives — sun, kids, dogs, wind. **Re-meshed under proper tension for $250, or replaced with a made-to-size door for $475.** **From $250 · 4.9 · 473+ reviews** ## A Screen Door Is Only as Good as Its Spline Tension Mesh holds flat because a rubber spline clamps it into the frame channel under even, corner-to-corner tension. Sun hardens the spline; it shrinks and lets go a little; the mesh bellies, sags or flaps. Pressing it flat lasts an afternoon — the real fix is fresh mesh and fresh spline set at even tension on all four rails. That's the $250 rescreen, and it comes back tighter than the door was sold. - Bulging or sagging mesh — tension gone, not torn - Rescreen with new mesh + spline — $250 per door - Rollers and latch checked in the same visit - Pet-resistant mesh for the dog-nose doors ## Bent Frames and Jumping Sliders Earn a New Door — Built to Size Mesh in a racked or cracked frame ripples again by fall, and a slider panel that's jumped its track once too often is usually bent. Those earn an honest 'replace': a new screen door built to your opening for $475, fitted, adjusted and gliding. Between the two verdicts sits our written recommendation — rescreen or replace, both numbers visible, your call. - New screen doors — $475, made to the opening - Sliding panels re-fitted to glide in their track - Hinged porch doors hung to close flush - Window screens ride along — $100 rescreen, $150 new ## How Door Screen Repair Works Frame first, mesh second — that order keeps it tight. - **Frame or Mesh?** — The door checked for square — perfect mesh in a bent frame bulges again by fall. - **One Price Each Way** — Rescreen $250 or new door $475 — the honest recommendation and both numbers, written. - **Stretch & Set** — New mesh and spline under corner-to-corner tension, or the new door fitted and adjusted. - **Bounce Check & Warranty** — Mesh should give and return like a trampoline skin — proven with you, warrantied in writing. ## How Much Does Door Screen Repair Cost?

Torn or worse?** A: Probably neither — just untensioned. The spline has hardened and released its clamp, so the mesh billows. A rescreen replaces mesh and spline together and resets corner-to-corner tension; the sail act ends there. **Q: The dog treats the screen door as a suggestion. Worth fixing?** A: Yes — taut mesh spreads force instead of pooling it, and pet-resistant mesh raises the stakes further. Tell us about the dog and the recommendation adjusts honestly. **Q: My slider's screen panel keeps derailing. Fixable?** A: A straight panel re-fits and glides; a bent one (the usual cause after repeat derailments) earns a new made-to-size door at $475 that stays on its track. The check tells which — in writing. **Q: Can I DIY with a roll of mesh and a spline roller?** A: You can — the tools are cheap and the hard part is invisible: even tension. Too loose bulges by August, too tight bows the frame, uneven ripples immediately. Our bench does it weekly for $250 with materials and warranty; DIY veterans are our easiest converts. **Q: Porch panels and window screens too?** A: Same visit: porch panels section by section, window screens at $100 rescreen / $150 new. If the door went loose, its siblings rarely lag far behind. **Q: Where do you work?** A: Every metro on the list below — see the city pages for local detail. ## Serving NC & Surrounding Areas Screen-door calls ride the porch-season routes in every metro we serve — city pages below.
