A screen door should latch cleanly, close smoothly, and keep bugs out without sticking. Elite Screens New Orleans has handled screen door installation and repair since 2017, with options for aluminum, wood, and steel openings across New Orleans.
Every solid screen door job starts with the opening, not the screen. We check hinge-side plumb, measure the jamb at top, middle, and bottom, and verify clearance at the sweep. If the frame is racked or the threshold is uneven, we square the opening, re-shim hinges, and set fasteners into sound framing, not just trim. For replacements, we match the door slab size, hinge pattern, and strike location, then confirm the closer and handle set will land on backing.
Local humidity and salt air can swell wood, corrode hardware, and loosen fasteners over time, so we build for movement and durability. We use corrosion-resistant hinges and screws (stainless steel or coated exterior-grade), adjustable pneumatic or hydraulic closers, and new weatherstripping when needed to tighten the seal. Screens are installed with fresh spline, correct tension, and clean corners, and we repair bent frames, torn mesh, and sagging kick plates. If your door drags or won’t latch, we correct hinge bind, plane or adjust as needed, and reset the strike so it closes without slamming.
New Orleans customers choose us because we treat a screen door like a working exterior component, not an afterthought. You get clear options, from basic rescreening to full door replacement with new closers, handles, and sweeps, all sized to your opening. Our crews arrive with the right equipment for on-site fitting and adjustments, including levels, shims, hinge jigs, and spline rollers, so the door operates correctly before we leave. We are licensed and insured, and we provide a free written estimate so you can compare scope and materials apples to apples.
We finish with a full walkthrough and functional test: open and close cycles, latch engagement, closer speed, and even reveals along the jamb. You will see the final fit, confirm handle height and swing direction, and get guidance on simple maintenance like closer tension tweaks and cleaning tracks or hinges. When we repair, we show you the failed point (torn mesh, stripped hinge screws, worn sweep) and what was replaced. You leave with a screen door that shuts smoothly, seals tighter, and looks clean from both sides.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after measuring and confirming mesh type, frame condition, and attachment method.
In most cases, yes. We’ll identify the closest mesh type (fiberglass, aluminum, solar, pet-resistant) and match common colors like charcoal or black for consistent visibility.
We do both. If the frame is bent, corners are loose, or tracks and rollers are worn, we can repair or replace components so the new screen performs correctly.
Timing depends on enclosure size, number of panels, and whether framing repairs are needed. After an on-site measure, we’ll give a clear schedule with expected start and completion dates.
Yes. We work with property managers and businesses on patio enclosures, entry screening, repairs, and repeatable maintenance plans with consistent specs.
If your screen door sticks, won’t latch, or has ripped mesh, the fix is usually a combination of frame alignment, hardware tuning, and proper screen tension. Elite Screens New Orleans installs and repairs screen doors for homes and businesses, including single swing screen doors, sliding screen doors, and storm-door screen panels. We work with aluminum frames, wood jambs, and steel entry systems, and we focus on smooth operation, tight seals, and long-lasting hardware in a humid coastal climate.
Our process starts by diagnosing why the screen door is failing. A door that rubs at the top corner usually points to hinge sag or a racked jamb, while a door that bounces off the strike often needs strike plate repositioning or latch alignment. For sliding units, we check rollers, track condition, and frame squareness, then replace worn rollers and tune the height so the panel glides and seals. When mesh is the issue, we remove the old spline, clean the channel, and install new screen fabric with consistent tension to prevent waves and blowouts.
Materials and hardware matter in New Orleans. We recommend stainless or coated screws, quality hinges, and reliable pneumatic or hydraulic closers, plus new sweeps and weatherstripping when the seal has worn down. We can repair bent frames, replace damaged corners, and address loose handle sets so the screen door feels solid again. If replacement is the better value, we’ll size the new door correctly, confirm swing and handing, and make sure the closer, latch, and strike all work together.
After installation or repair, we cycle the door, fine-tune closer speed, confirm latch engagement, and verify even gaps around the frame. You get a clear scope of work, the materials used, and practical maintenance tips to keep it working season after season.
