Screen Door Repair in Miami, FL
A sliding screen door lets the sea breeze in and keeps the bugs out - until it jumps the track, tears, or won't roll. We repair and rebuild sliding screen doors throughout Greater Miami.
Screen doors take a surprising amount of abuse for such a light part. Kids and pets push through them, wind off the water flexes and bows the frame, and the small plastic rollers wear out or pop off their light-duty track. When the door binds, comes off the track, or the mesh tears, it stops doing the one job you want it for - letting you open up for a breeze without inviting in mosquitoes and no-see-ums.
Miami's climate is hard on screens specifically. Intense UV makes standard screen mesh brittle so it tears at a touch, and salt air corrodes the thin frames and rollers on coastal properties. We re-screen doors with mesh suited to the conditions - heavier pet-resistant mesh where dogs and cats are pushing through, and fine no-see-um mesh near the water where the tiniest biting insects get through standard screening.
The rollers and track on a screen door are lighter than the ones on the glass panel, so they wear and clog easily with pollen, salt, and grit. We replace the screen rollers, clean and straighten the track, and adjust the door so it rolls smoothly and latches instead of catching or jumping out. If the frame itself is bent or corroded beyond adjusting, we can rebuild or replace the screen door entirely.
Because the screen shares the same opening as your glass slider, we make sure both run true together - a common cause of a screen that won't stay on track is a screen frame that's fighting a misaligned glass panel or a bent outer track next to it.

Frequently asked questions
My screen door keeps falling off the track - why?
Usually it's worn or missing screen rollers, a bent track, or a frame that's out of square. Sometimes the glass panel next to it is misaligned and pushing it off. We fix the rollers and track and get both doors running true so it stays on.
Can you replace just the mesh if the frame is fine?
Yes. If the frame and rollers are in good shape, we can re-screen the door with fresh mesh. We'll recommend a mesh type for your situation - tougher pet-resistant screening or fine no-see-um mesh near the water.
What screen keeps out the tiny biting bugs near the water?
No-see-um mesh. It's woven tighter than standard screen to block the very small biting insects common near Miami's coast and canals. It's a good choice if standard screening still lets bugs through.
Is a torn or broken screen door worth repairing?
Almost always. Re-screening and new rollers cost a fraction of a replacement, and unless the frame is badly bent or corroded, a repair restores it completely. We'll tell you if a rebuild makes more sense.
