Screen door repair in Florida, done in one visit. A sliding screen door that is torn, bent, dragging, or forever jumping its track does not need to be thrown away. Nearly every screen door problem comes down to four parts: the mesh, the frame, the wheels underneath, or the track it rides in. Alpha Sliding Doors repairs all four on the spot, in the same 14 Florida counties where we fix sliding glass doors. If you searched for screen door repair near me and landed here, call 772-297-2401 and we can usually have a technician out the same day.
Screen Door Problems We Fix Every Day
- Torn or sagging mesh. We rescreen the door on site with new mesh, rolled and splined tight so it stays drum-flat instead of bagging out after the first summer.
- Bent or twisted frame. Florida screen doors are light aluminum, and one good gust or one shoulder bump puts a bow in them. We straighten bent rails, rebuild corners, and square the door so it runs true again.
- Worn or broken wheels. Screen door rollers are small, spring-loaded, and the first thing to fail. We replace top and bottom wheels with new hardware matched to your door, then set the tension so the door glides and still seals.
- Door off the track, or a sloppy track fit. A screen door that derails every week is misadjusted or riding a damaged rail. We re-fit the door to its track and adjust wheel tension. If the main door’s rail is the real culprit, our sliding door track repair service restores that too.
- Pet damage. Dogs and cats go through standard mesh like paper. We install heavy pet-resistant mesh that stands up to claws and nose-bumps.
- Latches and handles. Broken pulls, latches that will not catch, and locks that no longer line up are repaired or replaced on the spot.
Rescreening and Mesh Options
Standard rescreening uses 18×16 fiberglass mesh, the same charcoal screen most Florida doors ship with. Depending on where you live and who lives with you, one of these upgrades is often worth the small difference in price:
- Pet-resistant mesh. A heavier woven screen that resists clawing and pushing. The most requested upgrade we install, and the difference is obvious the moment you touch it.
- No-see-um mesh. A tighter 20×20 weave that keeps out the tiny biting midges that sail straight through standard screen. Popular near the coast and the mangroves.
- Solar and privacy mesh. A denser weave that cuts glare and heat on west-facing patios and makes it harder to see in from outside.

Sliding Screen Door Repair, Done the Same Visit
Our trucks carry mesh rolls, spline in every common size, screen wheels for the major Florida door brands, and the tools to straighten and square a frame on site. That means rescreening, wheel replacement, and track fitting happen in one visit, not a take-it-to-the-shop week. And since the technician is already at your door, the same visit can cover sliding door roller replacement on the glass panel, so both doors glide when we leave.

Screen Door Repair FAQ
Should I repair my screen door or replace it?
If the frame is straight and sound, repair wins every time: new mesh, new wheels, and a track adjustment cost a fraction of a new door. If the frame is corroded through or badly twisted, we build a new screen door to size, which is still far cheaper than replacing the whole slider.
Do you offer pet-resistant screen mesh?
Yes. We carry heavy woven pet-resistant mesh that stands up to dogs and cats far better than standard fiberglass, plus no-see-um and solar mesh options.
Can you fix a screen door that keeps coming off its track?
Yes. That is usually worn wheels, bad tension, or a bent rail rather than a defective door. We replace the wheels, re-fit the door to the track, and adjust it so it stays on.
How much does screen door repair cost?
Most screen door repairs in Florida run between $95 and $250 depending on mesh choice and hardware. You get a firm price on site before any work starts, and the service call is free.
How fast can you come out?
Same-day service is available in most of our 14 counties for calls placed before noon, and next-day nearly everywhere else.
