Torn Screen? A Guide to Re-Screening & Mesh Repair in West Palm Beach

A close-up of a sliding door's durable seal, which works with a screen to keep bugs out.

A screen door's main job is to let the breeze in and keep the bugs out. When the mesh is torn, faded, or flapping in the wind, it's failing. A 'sliding screen door repair' isn't just about rollers; re-screening is one of our most common services in West Palm Beach.

When to Re-Screen vs. Replace the Door

If your door frame is in good shape (not bent or corroded), you almost never need a new door. We can simply replace the mesh. This is much more affordable than a full 'sliding screen door replacement'.

Screen Mesh Options for Your Home

You have choices! 1. **Standard Fiberglass:** The most common and affordable option. 2. **Pet-Proof Screen:** This is 7x stronger than standard mesh. It's a must-have for anyone with dogs or cats that scratch. 3. **'No-See-Um' Screen:** Florida's tiny gnats and no-see-ums can get through standard mesh. This '20x20' weave is tighter and blocks them.

The Re-Screening Process

Our technicians do this on-site. We remove the door, pull out the old mesh and spline (the rubber cord), and use a special tool to stretch the new mesh tightly into the frame for a professional, drum-tight finish. No sags, no wrinkles.
