Sanger screen repair that keeps the bugs out

Sanger summers are rough on screens. Weeks of triple-digit heat and strong sun dry out the mesh until it fades, turns brittle and tears at the slightest push. Most of us keep the windows shut and the AC running from June through September, so the damage hides until that first cool fall evening. You slide the window open, and there’s the hole. With orchards and vineyards all around town, a torn screen also means gnats, moths and other insects finding their way inside.

We start by looking at every screen to decide whether it’s worth saving. If the frame is straight and the corners are solid, we pull out the old mesh and spline, clean the channel and roll in new mesh so it sits tight and even. If a frame is bent, cracked or missing, a new screen is the better fix, and we measure the opening so it fits and seats securely. Sliding screen doors to the backyard usually take the most abuse from kids, dogs and constant traffic, so they’re often first on the list.

Older houses near downtown Sanger sometimes have a mix of original screens, mismatched replacements and windows with no screen at all. Rentals and homes that just changed hands are often missing a few too. We can sort all of that out in one visit and clean the screens that are still in good shape. Because screens are already part of our window cleaning work, a lot of homeowners bundle the two so everything is finished at once. Call for a free estimate with a rough count of the screens that need help. We’re licensed and insured, and if a screen doesn’t fit right, we’ll come back and make it right.
