Santee heat is hard on sliding screen doors
A sliding screen door takes more abuse than a window screen because it’s used every day and it sits low in the frame where sun and dust both hit hardest. The mesh goes brittle and tears the same way window screens do. The bigger issue in Santee is usually the track and rollers: heat warps the aluminum door frame just enough that the door starts to drag, jump the track, or bind halfway through its slide. Dry east county wind also loads fine dust straight into the track and roller housings, which speeds up the same wear.
What our screen door service includes
For $159 we set new mesh, pull and clean the rollers and lubricate them, clean out the track, and re-hang the door so it slides smoothly again. Most doors that are dragging or coming off track just need this service rather than a full replacement.
When you actually need a new sliding screen door
If the door frame itself is bent, cracked, or too far gone to hold rollers properly, servicing it won’t last. In that case we build a new door: $395 for a standard door up to 36 by 80 inches, $495 for extra-large up to 48 by 96, and $595 for the biggest doors up to 60 by 96. See full pricing for exact size breaks.
The sliding glass door itself, while we’re there
If the glass patio door beside the screen is dragging too, we service that as well — tracks and rollers cleaned and lubricated, locks checked, and the door adjusted back to height. That’s $245 for a door up to 36 by 80 inches and $345 for anything larger. If the rollers are worn out rather than just dirty, they run $39 to $59 each, and most doors take two.
Pet-resistant mesh for screen doors
If a dog or cat regularly pushes against the screen door, pet-resistant mesh is a flat $60 upgrade over standard fiberglass, set the same visit as your service or replacement.
One trip covers the whole door
The $159 minimum is applied directly to the service, so a standard screen door tune-up lands right at that floor with the mesh, rollers, and track all done in the same trip — there’s no reason to split it into separate calls.
We warranty our labor for one year.

Screen Door Repair in Santee — Common Questions
Why does my screen door stick or jump the track?
Usually it’s worn or dirty rollers, a track packed with dust, or slight heat-warping in the door frame. Our $159 service cleans and lubes the rollers and the track and re-hangs the door, which fixes most dragging and jumping.
How much does screen door repair cost in Santee?
A full service — new mesh, rollers cleaned and lubed, track cleaned, door re-hung — is $159. A brand new door runs $395 to $595 depending on size.
Do you replace the rollers?
Yes. Rollers are $39 to $59 each, and most doors need both replaced together so the door tracks evenly rather than pulling to one side.
Can you fix a bent or warped door frame?
A slightly warped frame can often be re-hung and adjusted during the standard service. If the frame is badly bent or has any corrosion in it, we recommend a new door rather than patching a frame that won’t hold rollers properly.
Do you work on the sliding glass patio door as well?
Yes. We service the sliding glass door itself — tracks and rollers cleaned and lubricated, locks checked, door adjusted back to height. That is $245 up to 36 by 80 inches and $345 for anything larger, with rollers at $39 to $59 each if they need replacing.
Can I get pet-resistant mesh on my screen door?
Yes, it’s a flat $60 upgrade over standard mesh and holds up much better against a dog or cat pushing on the door.
