The mesh is torn or has holes
Pet claws, kids leaning, hurricane debris, or just sun-rotted fiberglass. Once there's a hole, mosquitoes find it within hours. Re-mesh on-site solves it.

Quick Answer
What does patio screen door repair include?
Patio screen door repair is a four-part fix: full re-mesh in fiberglass or pet-grade material, frame straightening (or full replacement if the aluminum is bent past saving), roller replacement so the door slides smoothly again, and latch alignment so it actually catches when you close it. Most ViniCon screen jobs in Hallandale, Hollywood, and Fort Lauderdale finish in $135 to $385 per door, same visit. Call (786) 979-1199 for a firm quote.
Symptoms
Signs your screen door needs a rebuild
Six things we hear from Hallandale homeowners every week - all six fixable in one visit.
The screen door drags or won't roll
You're shoving harder, or it stops mid-track. Screen door rollers are smaller and lighter than glass-door rollers - they wear out fast and seize from sand and salt.
The frame is bent or twisted
One corner is high, the door rocks in the track, or you can see a twist when you sight down the rail. Aluminum frames bend from impacts and heat - we can usually straighten them.
The latch doesn't catch
Door rolls fine but won't stay closed. Usually a worn corner key letting the frame flex, a misaligned strike, or the door sitting low because the rollers are gone.
Mosquitoes and bugs are getting in
You can't see the hole but they're coming in anyway. Usually the mesh has pulled away from the spline at one edge, or there's a pin-hole tear hidden by the frame shadow.
The screen has pulled away from the spline
You can see the rubber spline lifting out of its groove, with the mesh sagging or bunched. Common after years of UV. New spline plus a re-tension fixes it.
What's Included
Every screen rebuild includes these eight steps
The full procedure for $135 to $385. No skipping, no shortcuts, no upsell halfway through.
-
Full screen inspection
Frame, mesh, spline, corner keys, rollers, latch, and strike all checked before quoting. You see the diagnosis before any tool comes out.
-
Frame straightening or replacement
Bent aluminum re-shaped on the spot when possible. If the frame is bent past saving, we swap it for a new one and re-stretch the screen.
-
Full re-mesh in fiberglass or pet-grade
Old mesh stripped, frame cleaned, new mesh tensioned across the frame. Choose standard fiberglass or pet-grade depending on your situation.
-
Spline re-installed (new spline if needed)
Old rubber spline inspected. If brittle or undersized for the new mesh thickness, we install fresh spline so the mesh stays locked in.
-
Screen rollers replaced
Worn screen-door rollers swapped for new sealed-bearing wheels. Smaller and lighter than glass-door rollers, but the same principle - smooth slide, one finger.
-
Latch and corner key replaced
Worn corner keys and tired latches swapped. The frame stays square and the door catches every time you close it.
-
Frame square-tested
Diagonals measured corner-to-corner so the frame is true. A square frame is what makes the latch catch and the door slide without rocking.
-
Written warranty
You walk away with a paper warranty on labor, mesh, and any new hardware. Documented with photos if requested.

Fiberglass vs pet-grade - which mesh is right?
Standard fiberglass is the default - clean appearance, near-invisible from a few feet, and the cheapest. Lifespan is 7-10 years in South Florida sun before it gets brittle and tears.
Pet-grade mesh is roughly 7x stronger and woven from heavier vinyl-coated polyester. It shrugs off dog claws, cat climbing, and the occasional kid leaning into it. Costs about $40-$70 more per door but typically lasts twice as long. If you have a dog that paws the slider when it wants out, pet-grade pays for itself the first year.
Quick rule: if you have pets or kids that interact with the door, choose pet-grade. If the screen is purely decorative or in a low-traffic area, fiberglass is fine.

I have used this company for my sliding doors and screen. He did a very good job - my sliding doors start working very smoothly and price is very reasonable. So happy to meet Vinko, very nice and honest.

FAQ
Patio screen repair, straight answers
The questions Hallandale and Hollywood homeowners ask before they call. If yours isn't here, ask Vinko on the phone.
A standard fiberglass re-mesh in Hallandale typically runs $135 to $195 per patio screen door. Pet-grade mesh runs $175 to $265 because the material is heavier and harder to spline. Frame work, if needed, is quoted as an add-on. ViniCon gives a firm written price before any work starts.
In most cases, just the mesh. If the aluminum frame is straight (or close enough that we can true it on-site) and the corner keys still hold, we re-mesh for $135 to $265. A full frame replacement is $245 to $385 and we only recommend it if the frame is bent past saving or the corners have failed.
Yes. Pet-grade mesh is roughly 7x stronger than standard fiberglass and resists claw punctures and dog-push damage. It runs $175 to $265 installed. Worth it if you have a dog that paws the screen, an indoor cat that climbs it, or kids who routinely lean into the door.
Yes. Latch misalignment is usually a frame-square issue, a worn corner key, or a strike that has shifted. Vinko adjusts the latch and strike on-site, replaces the corner key if it has failed, and confirms the door catches every time before leaving. Typical fix is $85 to $165 if no re-mesh is needed.
A standard re-mesh on-site is usually 45 to 75 minutes per door. Frame straightening adds 30 to 45 minutes. A full frame replacement runs 90 to 120 minutes. Most ViniCon screen jobs in Hallandale, Hollywood, and Fort Lauderdale wrap up in a single visit.
Yes. We carry standard 36-inch and 48-inch wide mesh and can quote oversized doors, full-height pool-cage panels, and custom-color mesh on-site. Larger doors and custom mesh are quoted at the visit so you see the price before we cut anything.
Yes. Every repair is backed by a parts-and-labor warranty, and we use commercial-grade components built for South Florida's salt air and heat. If something we serviced fails, we make it right.
No. We come out, diagnose the problem, and give you a firm written quote on-site at no charge. You only pay once you approve the work, with no surprise fees.
All of them, including PGT, CGI, ES Windows, Andersen, and the builder-grade aluminum doors found across South Florida. We match brand-specific hardware where needed and stock universal parts for everything else.
