Visalia screen repair and new screens

Visalia summers are hard on window screens. Weeks of triple-digit heat and strong sun break the mesh down until it fades, turns brittle and tears at a touch. Many families keep the house closed up and the AC running from June through September, so the damage goes unnoticed. Then the first cool evening of fall arrives, someone opens a window, and the mosquitoes and moths find the holes before you do. Sliding patio screens usually fail first, since kids, dogs and daily use take their toll.

There are two ways to fix a bad screen, and we’ll tell you which one makes sense. If the frame is straight and the corners are solid, we pull out the old mesh and spline, clean the channel and roll in fresh mesh so it sits tight and even. If the frame is bent, cracked or missing entirely, we measure the opening and install a new screen that fits properly. Dust from the farmland around Visalia and mineral crust from sprinklers also clog screens over time, so screens that are intact but just look gray can simply be cleaned.

Screens are a big part of getting rentals ready, too. Landlords and property managers across Visalia, including those renting to College of the Sequoias students, see torn and missing screens at nearly every turnover. We can repair or replace screens on a single unit or a whole building, and wash the windows during the same trip. Homeowners often bundle screens with a window cleaning for the same reason, since we’re already taking them down.
