Richardson Elite Patio Covers provides professional screen doors & hardware in Richardson, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Telecom Corridor. A screen door tells you the truth about a structure. Everything else can sit half an inch out and still look fine from the garden, and nobody notices. A door either latches or it does not, and on the older streets in this city it stops latching somewhere between one spring and the next without anybody touching it. It is the one component with a tolerance you feel by hand.
The reason is geometry rather than hardware. The house moves seasonally on its slab, the porch attached to it moves differently on whatever it was founded on, and an opening that was rectangular in March is a shallow parallelogram by September. The door is not defective. The hole it lives in changed shape around it while nobody was watching, and it will change back.
That drives our recommendation, and it is not the costliest door on the page. On an older structure we fit rolling units on an adjustable track, or hinged leaves on three-way adjustable hinges with an oversized strike, so the leaf can be dialed back into service in ten minutes each spring. Fixed hardware in a moving opening is the worse purchase every time. Adjustability is the specification here, not an upgrade line.
We also rebuild jambs, which is the repair nobody quotes. Where a header has dropped, no hardware on the market corrects it, and the real work is re-supporting the opening on a proper post and then hanging a door into it. Doing that once beats selling the same customer three doors across six years, and it is what the frame is asking for.
Details that earn their place on this housing stock: continuous hinges instead of light butt hinges, stainless fasteners wherever we anchor near aged veneer, closers that can be re-tensioned rather than replaced, and pet weave in the door leaf because the door is where the dog pushes. Strike height gets set to the opening we find, not to the drawing. Aluminum leaves stay light enough not to sag on their own hinges.
One code note is worth knowing. A door counts toward the open area Appendix AH measures below six feet eight inches, so swapping a screen leaf for a solid one changes how the whole structure reads on paper. We service doors in early spring, once the wettest stretch of the year has done whatever it was going to do to the ground. One visit in spring usually holds for the year.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, drilled belled piers below the active clay zone, hot-dip galvanized post base standoffs — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Richardson and nearby communities including Plano, Garland, Sachse, Murphy.

Materials, equipment and how we do screen doors & hardware
The difference between screen doors & hardware that lasts and screen doors & hardware that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Richardson job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in the Telecom Corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
