How long does a sliding screen door repair take?

The Short Answer

Most repairs, like re-screening or replacing rollers, are completed on-site in under an hour.

Detailed Explanation

When you're dealing with a broken sliding screen door, the last thing you want is a days-long project. At West Palm Beach Sliding Door, we understand that time is of the essence.

Our typical service call takes between 45 to 60 minutes. This includes:

  • Inspection: We assess the damage to the mesh, frame, and rollers.
  • Removal: We carefully remove the door from the track.
  • Repair: Whether it's re-screening with durable mesh or installing new stainless steel rollers, we do the work right on-site.
  • Re-installation & Testing: We put the door back, adjust the wheels for perfect alignment, and ensure it glides smoothly.

We come prepared with a mobile workshop, meaning we have the parts and tools needed to finish the job in a single visit.

Detailed repair process

Does the type of repair affect the time?

Yes, slightly. A simple roller replacement is the quickest job, often taking just 30 minutes. Full re-screening takes a bit longer because we hand-spline the mesh to ensure it's tight and wrinkle-free. If the frame itself is bent and requires reshaping, that might add another 15-20 minutes, but it is rare for us to need to take the door away.

For custom-sized doors or specific pet-proof mesh requests, we still aim for same-day completion if the materials are in stock on our truck.
