Is it cheaper to repair or replace my screen door?

The Short Answer

It's almost always cheaper and better to repair your existing door. We can replace the mesh and rollers for a fraction of the cost of a new, flimsy store-bought door.

Detailed Explanation

Many homeowners assume that if a screen door looks beat up, they should just buy a replacement from a big-box store. However, "one-size-fits-all" doors are often flimsy, lightweight, and don't fit older tracks perfectly.

Repairing is the smarter choice. Your original door frame is likely made of heavier-gauge aluminum than what you'll find on the shelf today. By simply replacing the worn-out parts—the mesh and the rollers—you restore the door to better-than-new condition.

Cost Comparison

A high-quality custom replacement door can cost $300-$500 or more. Our comprehensive repair service—including new heavy-duty mesh and premium rollers—costs a fraction of that.

Plus, repair is eco-friendly. You're keeping aluminum out of the landfill and extending the life of your home's components.
