A porch door that's off its closer, or a screen with a hole the size of a ball, is ordinary work. It's also the first weather layer. If the main door behind it also sticks or doesn't lock, say so — that's one visit, two openings.

Wood that has taken rain for years may need more than a new spring. We'll tell you if the slab is the limit.

If a storm blew the porch door open and broke glass, mention both. Storm sorting starts at storm damage help when more than the porch is involved.

We won't treat a screen repair as a 'security system.' We'll make the door close and the mesh sound.

Regent Square porches a short walk away have the same 'rail and door first, paint later' sequence on the Regent Square home-repair page.
