A screen door that won’t close or latch lets bugs in and makes your air conditioning work harder. In Ponte Vedra FL, that usually shows up after a storm, a humid stretch, or kids and pets repeatedly pulling the door open. If the frame is bent or the latch alignment is off, the door can rub, snag, or swing too far, which leads to bigger damage.
You might notice gaps along the edges, a torn mesh, or a handle that feels loose. Those are the moments to act, because small issues like worn rollers or a misaligned strike plate often turn into frame stress. Once the frame shifts, repairs take longer and the door may never sit flat again without replacing parts.

On your appointment, we start with a quick functional check. Your door should open and close without scraping, and the latch should engage cleanly every time. We inspect the rollers, hinges, latch and strike alignment, plus the frame corners for signs of warping or impact damage. That inspection is what determines whether this is a hardware adjustment, a mesh replacement, or a frame repair.
Most screen door repairs are scheduled within the same week when parts are available, and many repairs can be completed in a single visit. After we inspect the door, we confirm the timeline based on the specific hardware or mesh condition.
We inspect the strike plate alignment, latch hardware, hinges, and rollers to find what is preventing a clean closure. Then we adjust or replace the components needed so the door latches securely without scraping.
Pricing varies based on whether the issue is hardware alignment, mesh replacement, or frame repair after impact. The most accurate quote comes after an on-site assessment where we confirm the needed parts and labor time.
Often, yes. If the frame is still straight and the damage is limited, we can replace the mesh and re-secure it with proper tension. If the frame is warped, we may recommend additional frame work to keep the door operating correctly.
Clear space near the door and let us know if the door is currently stuck, rubbing, or not latching at all. If you have photos of the latch area and the screen damage, send them with your request so we can prepare the right parts.
If a permit or code requirement applies to your specific situation, we coordinate it based on local rules. For most standard screen door repairs, the work is handled as a repair, but we will confirm what applies after the inspection.
