Screen cleaning is available with any window cleaning service. Screens are removed, washed, dried and reinstalled in the windows they came from, not dusted off in place and called done.
A window screen is a mesh sitting outdoors year-round. It catches pollen in spring, dust and road grit all summer, and cottonwood, seeds and cobwebs in between. Over a season that mesh goes grey, and everything you see through it goes slightly grey too.
Clean the glass and leave the screen, and the window still won't look right. That's the single most common reason people feel underwhelmed after a window cleaning.
Each screen comes out of the window and gets kept with that window so it goes back where it belongs. The mesh and the frame are washed, the corners and channel are cleaned out, then the screen is rinsed and left to dry properly before reinstalling, putting a wet screen back is how you get water marks on freshly cleaned glass.
Old screens are handled gently. Aluminum frames bend, aging mesh tears, and spline dries out over the years. We work around that rather than forcing anything.
We clean screens; we don't repair them. If mesh is torn, spline has come out, or a frame is bent out of shape, we'll point it out and let you decide about replacement. We won't quietly hand back a screen we made worse.
Often paired with this: residential window cleaning and interior and exterior cleaning.
Excellent job, took very good care of the screens and the exterior windows. They wore booties when they came into my home and installed the screens back on. Definitely gonna have them come back to do the interior windows.
It's available as an add-on rather than automatic, so you're never paying for something you didn't ask for. Mention it on your quote request and we'll include the price.
We remove each screen, wash the mesh and the frame, rinse it, let it dry, and reinstall it in the window it came out of. Screens are not just wiped in place.
We'll show you and leave it alone rather than making it worse. We clean screens; we don't repair or re-mesh them.
Always. Screens go back into the same windows they came out of, seated properly, before we leave.
Once a year is plenty for most homes. Screens hold a surprising amount of pollen and road dust, which is why freshly cleaned glass behind a dirty screen still looks dull.
