Screen Door & Window Screen Repair in Charlotte NC — What It Costs & How It Works

Charlotte's climate is ideal for open-window living — mild springs, warm evenings in October, comfortable mornings from March through November. But screens that sag, tear, or won't slide make that lifestyle frustrating. Screen repair is a simple job most Charlotte homeowners put off longer than they should.

Types of Screen Repair We Handle

Window screen re-screening — Old or torn mesh pulled out of the frame and replaced with new fiberglass or aluminum screen mesh. The frame stays; just the mesh changes.

Screen door mesh replacement — Same process for hinged screen doors or storm doors.

Sliding screen door track repair — Charlotte's patio sliding screen doors often jump off tracks or develop hard-to-slide mechanisms from bent tracks or worn rollers. Rollers can be replaced; bent track sections need re-forming or replacement.

Screen frame repair — Aluminum frames dent and bend. Minor dents can be pressed out; severely bent frames need replacement.

Full screen door replacement — If the door itself is damaged beyond repair, we source and install replacement units.

Screen Mesh Options

Fiberglass mesh — Standard for most Charlotte window and door screens. Flexible, doesn't corrode, easy to install. Most affordable.

Aluminum mesh — More rigid than fiberglass. Better for high-traffic areas or homes with pets that push on screens.

Pet-resistant screen — Heavier vinyl-coated mesh that resists tearing from cat claws and dog noses. Good choice for homes with large dogs.

Solar screen mesh — Blocks 70–90% of UV light. Reduces interior heat gain. Useful for south-facing windows in Charlotte's summers.

When to Repair vs. Replace

Repair makes sense when: - Only the mesh is torn — frame is straight and in good condition - Rollers need replacement but track is undamaged - Screen is a standard size that re-screening is faster than sourcing a replacement

Replace the whole unit when: - Frame is bent or corners are separating - Sliding door track is severely damaged or warped - Door doesn't seal properly at edges regardless of mesh condition
