Signs It Is Time for a New Screen Door
A screen door earns its keep every time you leave the main door open on a mild day. When it stops doing that job, a new screen door or a screen door replacement puts the doorway back to work.
- The doorway has no screen door, so the main door stays shut all season
- A sliding screen that jumps its track or drags when you open it
- A door frame bent from years of use, pets or a strong gust of wind
- Torn mesh that lets mosquitoes and flies into the house
- A screen door that no longer closes flush against its frame
If only the mesh on a sound door is torn, the fix may be smaller than a new door. Tell us what you see when you call, and we will sort out the right repair during the free estimate. Most requests for screen door installation in Alpharetta, GA begin with one of the problems above.
How It Works
What to Expect When You Book a Screen Door
Putting in a screen door is a short, orderly job. Here is how it goes from your first call to the first time you open the new door.
-
Calling for a Free Estimate
Call (678) 640-3405, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Tell us which doors need screens, whether they are hinged entry doors or sliding patio doors, and what is there now.
-
Measuring the Doorway
We measure the opening at your home. Door frames settle and shift over time, so a measurement taken on site is the only way to get a screen door that closes cleanly.
-
Hanging or Setting the Door
A hinged screen door is hung on the entry frame, and a sliding screen is set into the patio door track. Each one is adjusted until it moves smoothly.
-
Testing the Fit
We open and close the door several times to check that it latches, slides and seals along its edges. You try it yourself before we pack up.
Sliding Screen Door Replacement for Patio Doors
Sliding glass patio doors are where many families spend the most time with the door open, and the screen on them takes a beating. Replacing it swaps a worn or damaged patio screen for one that fits the track and glides without a fight.
A patio screen door rides on small rollers along a track at the bottom of the door frame. When the frame bends or the rollers wear out, the screen drags, sticks or pops off the track. A new screen sized to your opening and adjusted to the track solves those problems together.
Many homes in the north metro area have a back patio or deck off the kitchen or family room. A patio screen door that works well makes that doorway easy to use all through the warm months, from the first cool spring evenings to late summer cookouts.
Screen Doors for Front and Back Entry Doors
A hinged screen door on a front or back entry lets air move through the house while the main door stays open. It also gives you a layer between the porch and the hallway, so you can talk with a visitor without letting flies inside.
We fit each entry screen door to its frame so it closes flush and latches without slamming. Every screen door installation in Alpharetta, GA that we handle is measured on site first, since no two entry frames are quite the same. Screen doors can use standard fiberglass mesh or Phifer BetterVue, a mesh with a smaller yarn for better visibility that is flame retardant and suitable for doors as well as windows and porches.
If the doorway leads onto a screened porch, the two work as a pair. Our screen porch installation service can build the enclosure around the porch that the door opens onto.
What Affects the Cost of Screen Door Replacement
The cost of a screen door depends on the door and the opening, and the estimate is free. These are the main factors:
- Whether the door is a hinged entry screen or a sliding patio screen
- The size of the doorway and how square the frame still is
- The mesh you choose, such as standard fiberglass or Phifer BetterVue
- How many doors you want done in the same visit
We give you the estimate before any work begins, so you can plan around it with no surprises later. If you have more than one doorway in mind, doing them in one visit keeps the screens consistent.

Common Questions
Screen Door Installation Questions
Can you put a screen door on a front door that never had one?
Often, yes. Most hinged entry doors have a frame that can take a screen door, and we measure the opening at your home to confirm the fit. A screen door on the front entry lets you leave the main door open for fresh air. Call (678) 640-3405 and tell us about the doorway, and we will look at it during your free estimate.
Why does my sliding patio screen keep coming off its track?
The usual causes are worn rollers, a bent frame or a screen that was never sized right for the opening. Once the frame bends, the rollers stop riding in the track and the screen jumps loose. A new patio screen door built to the opening and adjusted to the track is often the lasting fix, and we check which one applies during the estimate.
Should I repair my screen door or replace the whole door?
It depends on the frame. If the door is straight, closes flush and only the mesh is torn, new mesh may be enough. If the frame is bent, the corners are loose or a sliding screen will not stay on its track, a new screen door is usually the better use of your money. We tell you which one makes sense before any work starts.
Can my screen door use the same mesh as my windows and porch?
Yes. Phifer BetterVue is suitable for doors, windows and porches, so you can use the same clear mesh around the house. It has a smaller yarn than standard insect screen, which makes the view through the door clearer, and it is flame retardant. Standard fiberglass mesh is also an option if you would rather match screens you already have.
