Between salty ocean air, cool evening fog, and year-round breezes, San Francisco homes put screen doors through serious wear. A torn mesh, bent frame, or sticky track may seem minor, yet it can quickly lead to insects indoors, security concerns, and energy loss. CountBricks combines cutting-edge AI estimating with skilled craft crews to deliver rapid, reliable screen door repair San Francisco homeowners can count on.
• Constant moisture causes metal frames to corrode and wood rails to swell
• Steep coastal winds stretch mesh and loosen spline cords
• High foot traffic in multi-unit Victorians leads to sagging hinges and worn closers
• Shifting seismic foundations can knock doors out of square
While a big-box spline kit might look tempting, true cost savings appear only when repairs last. CountBricks technicians follow manufacturer specs, use marine-grade hardware, and guarantee craftsmanship—saving repeat trips to the hardware store.

• Door size and type: Sliding patio screens generally cost more to re-screen than standard swing doors.
• Hardware upgrades: Stainless-steel rollers or self-closing hinges extend life but add material cost.
• Structural corrections: Out-of-square rough openings may require jamb shimming or threshold resets.
• Finish matching: Historic facades often need color-matched powder coating to maintain curb appeal.
• Basic mesh replacement, standard swing door: $185-$245
• Pet-resistant mesh upgrade: Add $45-$65
• Sliding patio screen re-screen with roller tune-up: $295-$395
• Frame straighten and hardware set replacement: $120-$180
Actual totals vary by measurement, confirmed through your CountBricks AI estimate.
• Fiberglass – Most affordable, resists dents, ideal for inland neighborhoods
• Aluminum – Stronger against pets, better airflow, but vulnerable to salt corrosion
• Stainless-steel – Premium option for coastal exposure and high security
• Solar mesh – Blocks up to 90 % UV, lowers interior temps during sunny Mission afternoons
• Clean tracks quarterly with mild detergent and a stiff nylon brush
• Spray silicone lubricant on rollers, avoid petroleum products on vinyl components
• Inspect spline annually and re-seat any loose corners before wind season
• Tighten hinge screws after seismic events or door slams

When a 1904 two-unit building needed urgent screen door repair, the HOA turned to CountBricks after two DIY attempts failed. The historic redwood frame had warped, causing the aluminum screen insert to pop free each time the front door slammed.
• Door opening out of square by 7 mm due to settling
• Salty moisture corroding standard aluminum mesh within 18 months
• HOA requirement to match original trim color and preserve period hardware
1. Laser measurement data fed into the CountBricks AI platform produced an on-site estimate in under five minutes, factoring a custom stainless-steel mesh upgrade.
2. Our carpenter milled a slim redwood shim, re-establishing square without disturbing the vintage casing.
3. We powder-coated the replacement frame in a bespoke “Pacific Sand” hue, uploading color codes to the HOA portal via CountBricks.com/services for seamless approval.
4. Final inspection showed a 38 % increase in airflow and zero daylight gaps—critical for pest control in older structures.
• Project completed in four hours, minimizing tenant disruption
• 10-year warranty issued through CountBricks Quality Assurance Program
• HOA reported a 25 % drop in maintenance tickets for door issues over the next six months
• Always verify door squareness before replacing screen mesh; otherwise, new material will fail prematurely.
• In coastal micro-climates, stainless-steel mesh recoups its cost by lasting up to 4× longer than aluminum.
• Documenting color codes in a shared portal speeds HOA approvals and prevents costly repaints.
