Screen Cleaning and Repair: Why It Matters

Screens sit right against the glass, so any dust, pollen, or grime on them shows through every time the light hits the window. You can have perfectly clean glass and still see a grey, hazy film — because the screen, not the pane, is the problem. That's why a real window cleaning always includes the screens.

We remove, deep-clean, and re-install screens as part of our residential window cleaning service, so the view is actually clear when we leave.

Cleaning fixes dust. It doesn't fix tears, sagging mesh, bent frames, or pulled spline. A screen with a hole lets bugs in and looks worn no matter how clean it is. The good news is most of these are repairable without buying a whole new screen.

We handle mesh re-screening, frame straightening, and spline replacement so screens look and work like new. See our screen cleaning and repair service for the full list.

Repair when the frame is straight and solid and only the mesh is damaged — a small tear, a sag, or a pulled corner. Re-screening the existing frame is fast and cost-effective. Replace when the frame itself is bent beyond straightening, cracked, or corroded, or when the screen is an odd size that no longer fits the window opening.

If you're not sure which side of that line your screens fall on, we'll tell you during the on-site quote — honestly, not upsell. Request a visit and we'll take a look.

Screen doors take the most abuse of any screen in the house — pets, kids, and constant use. They're also the most visible, right at the entry. A sagging or torn screen door is the first thing a guest sees. Including door screens in your regular cleaning and repair keeps that first impression crisp.

Pair it with our exterior detailing service and the whole entry — glass, screen, frame, and sill — looks refreshed together.
