Common Screen Cleaning and Repair Scenarios
Post-Cottonwood Season
Minneapolis cottonwood trees release dense fluff in late May that packs tightly into screen mesh, blocking airflow almost completely within days.
Storm Damage
Summer hailstorms and high winds push debris into screens, bending frames and tearing mesh that then lets insects enter the home.
Pet Damage
Dogs and cats pushing against standard fiberglass screens create stretched holes that worsen over time and require full mesh replacement.
Our Screen Cleaning and Repair Process
Remove and Inspect
Every screen is removed from the window frame and inspected for tears, bent corners, loose spline, and mesh porosity before cleaning begins.
Pressure Wash and Scrub
Screens are washed with a low-pressure rinse and soft brush using a gentle detergent that lifts cottonwood, pollen, and road salt residue from the mesh.
Repair or Re-Mesh
Torn sections get new mesh cut and rolled with fresh spline. Bent aluminum frames are straightened or replaced with new stock matching original dimensions.
Reinstall and Test
Clean dry screens are reinstalled with corners fully seated, tabs locked, and mesh tension verified so the screen sits flat without bowing or gaps.
Screen Cleaning and Repair - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We stock standard fiberglass mesh, solar screening, and pet-resistant vinyl-coated mesh in common widths. Most repairs are completed on the same visit without ordering parts or scheduling a return trip.
We can brush and rinse screens in place for light pollen buildup, but deep cottonwood or salt deposits require removal for thorough cleaning. In-place cleaning takes five minutes per screen while removal cleaning takes ten to fifteen.
Holes larger than two inches, frames bent more than a quarter inch out of plane, or spline channels with cracked corners usually require full mesh replacement. We show you the damage before recommending any additional work.
We always clean screens first. Dirty screens shed pollen and debris onto freshly cleaned glass during reinstallation, undoing the window cleaning work. Doing screens first ensures the final glass surface stays spotless.
