Professional screen door repairs, torn mesh fixes, and sliding screen solutions
I get it. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to get a breeze through your house while every mozzie, fly and Christmas beetle in the Northern Rivers decides your lounge room is the place to be.
Whether your screen door looks like your cat's been using it as a scratching post, or your sliding screen keeps jumping off its track every time you try to close it, I can sort it out for you.
I've been fixing fly screens around Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers for years. I know exactly what goes wrong with them in our coastal climate, and I know how to fix them properly so they last.
I also handle other common coastal property issues like deck restoration, rotten timber repairs, and emergency repairs that our weather throws at us.
From small patches to complete re-meshing, I handle all types of fly screen repairs
This is the big one. Mesh gets torn by pets, kids, storms, or sometimes it just gives up after years of our coastal weather.
I can patch small tears, or completely re-mesh the whole screen if it's had it. I've got different types of mesh too:
Screen doors cop a hiding in our climate. Kids slamming them, adults trying to get through with shopping, and our weather warping the frames.
Common issues I fix:
When sliding screens stop sliding, it's usually because:
I can get these sliding smoothly again, plus show you how to keep them working properly.
Window screens seem simple until they're not. I fix:
Security screens are an investment, so when they're damaged you want them fixed properly:
Got pets who haven't figured out how door handles work? I've got solutions:
Understanding the problem helps prevent it happening again
The salt air looks beautiful but it's tough on screens. It corrodes metal and makes mesh brittle. Add in our storms and it's a recipe for screen damage.
We use our screen doors constantly in this climate. All that opening and closing adds up to serious wear and tear on hinges, handles, and mesh.
The very bugs we're trying to keep out can damage screens. Plus fruit bats, birds, and if you're unlucky, possums deciding your screen door is in their way.
Our intense sun breaks down everything over time. Mesh becomes brittle, frames fade, rubber seals perish. It's unavoidable but manageable with quality materials.

I'll have a look at what's going on. Sometimes I can fix it on the spot, sometimes I need to take screens back to the workshop. I'll let you know upfront.
I'll tell you whether it's worth repairing or if replacement makes more sense. No point throwing good money after bad - I'd rather have a happy customer than make a quick buck.

Don't wait until small problems become big ones
Obviously if you've got a big tear or your door won't close, that's a clear sign. But also call if:
Small problems become big problems pretty quickly with screens, so it's worth getting them looked at sooner rather than later.
