Treasure Coast Sliding Door Repair
LICENSED • INSURED • 15+ YEARS
The Indian River Lagoon ecosystem surrounding Stuart produces massive populations of biting midges (no-see-ums) that standard 18x16 fiberglass screen mesh cannot block. These tiny insects pass right through the standard screen weave and deliver bites that are disproportionately painful for their size. For Stuart homeowners, especially those in Sewalls Point, along Indian River Drive, and on Hutchinson Island, no-see-um mesh (20x20 weave) is essential.
Screen doors in Stuart also face accelerated wear from the same salt air that attacks sliding glass door hardware. Screen door rollers corrode, aluminum frames oxidize, and standard fiberglass mesh becomes brittle faster in the coastal UV and salt environment.
Standard fiberglass mesh (18x16). Adequate for mosquitoes but does not block no-see-ums. Lifespan in Stuart: 5-7 years before UV degradation causes brittleness. Lowest cost option.
No-see-um mesh (20x20). Finer weave that blocks biting midges. Slightly reduced airflow and visibility. Strongly recommended for Stuart properties near the lagoon, river, or any standing water. Lifespan: 6-8 years.
Pet-resistant mesh. Vinyl-coated polyester that is seven times stronger than standard fiberglass. Resists claw punctures from dogs and cats. Lifespan in Stuart: 10-12 years.
Solar screen mesh. Reduces heat and UV transmission by up to 70% while blocking insects. Ideal for Stuart west-facing lanais that receive intense afternoon sun. Helps reduce cooling costs significantly.
If the screen frame is straight and rollers work, re-screening (mesh replacement only) is the most cost-effective option. When the frame is bent, rollers are shot, and mesh is torn, complete screen door replacement makes more sense. We install new frames, rollers, mesh, and handles sized to your existing track opening without modifications to the main door frame.
