30A Window Washing

Screens at the coast

Window screen cleaning on 30A.

Screens hold salt, sand and pollen right in front of your windows. Washing them brightens the room and keeps that grit off clean glass.

A window screen is a fine mesh a couple of inches from your glass, and on 30A it catches a lot. Wind pushes salt and fine sand into the weave, spring pollen turns it yellow, and the humidity keeps it all damp and clinging. A clogged screen makes a room darker even when the glass behind it is clean.

It also works against clean glass. Every storm shakes some of what's in the mesh back onto the window. That's why screens are an add-on to exterior window cleaning, and the monthly plan includes a screen and track cleaning once a year.

We take screens down, wash the mesh and frames, and put each one back in the opening it came from. Repair isn't part of screen cleaning, but while they're out we'll point out torn mesh, bent frames or missing clips so you can get them fixed.

What’s included

  • Removal and reinstall

    Screens taken down, cleaned and returned to the openings they came from.

  • Mesh washed through

    Salt, sand, pollen and cobwebs washed out of the weave, not just brushed off.

  • Frames wiped

    So the grime on the edges doesn't end up back on the glass or sills.

  • Damage pointed out

    Torn mesh, bent frames and missing hardware noted for you.

How it works

  1. 01

    Keep track of each screen

    Screens come down one opening at a time so each goes back where it belongs.

  2. 02

    Wash the mesh

    Scrubbed gently and rinsed on both sides.

  3. 03

    Dry and check

    Looked over for damage while they're out of the frame.

  4. 04

    Reinstall

    Each screen seated back in its opening.

Common questions

How often should screens be cleaned near the beach?
Once or twice a year keeps most screens from clogging. Late spring, after the pine pollen, is a good time.
My windows were just cleaned and still look hazy. Why?
Often it's the screen. A clogged screen softens the view even when the glass is clean.
Do you repair torn screens?
Repair isn't part of screen cleaning. We'll point out any damage we find so you can have it fixed.
What about sliding screen doors?
They collect the same salt and sand, plus handprints. Mention them when you ask for a quote.
