Window screen cleaning and repair in Atlanta, GA
Dirty screens make clean windows look dirty. Atlanta's pollen season coats screen mesh in a yellow film that blocks airflow, dulls your view, and washes onto freshly cleaned glass with the first rain. Since 2009, Alexus Window Cleaning has removed, deep-cleaned, and repaired thousands of window screens across Metro Atlanta - so your windows stay clear and your home breathes the way it should.
Screen deep cleaning that restores airflow and views
Window screens are your home's first filter, and in Atlanta they work overtime. Spring pollen, summer dust, and the fine grit kicked up by thunderstorms all collect in the mesh, where humidity bonds them into a stubborn gray film. That film blocks airflow when windows are open, darkens rooms even when they are closed, and bleeds onto the glass every time it rains. Our screen cleaning process starts with careful removal - we label each screen so it returns to its original window. Screens are washed flat with a soft-bristle brush and a mild cleaning solution that releases pollen from both sides of the weave, then rinsed and dried before reinstallation. The difference is immediate: more light, better airflow, and glass that stays cleaner longer because the screen above it is no longer shedding grime. We do this on every whole-home window cleaning, itemized at $5 per screen.
Frame straightening and corner repair for smooth fit
A screen that will not sit flush in its track is usually a frame problem, not a mesh problem. Aluminum screen frames bend easily - a fall during DIY cleaning, a storm gust, or simply years of seasonal removal and reinstallation will rack a frame out of square. Once that happens, the screen rattles in wind, leaves gaps that let insects through, and wears against the window track every time it moves. We straighten bent rails, re-square corners, and replace broken corner inserts so screens fit the way they did when the windows were new. Where a frame is creased or corroded beyond saving, we tell you honestly and quote a replacement instead of charging you to repair something that will fail again. Most frame work happens on site in a single visit, and we test every repaired screen in its own window before we call the job done.
Mesh and spline replacement at a flat per-screen price
Torn mesh, pet scratches, and sun-rotted spline are the most common screen problems we see in Atlanta homes, and all of them are fixable without buying new screens. Rescreening replaces the mesh and the rubber spline that holds it in the frame channel, giving you a tight, wrinkle-free screen on your existing frame for $49 per screen. We stock standard fiberglass mesh for most jobs and can install pet-resistant mesh for door-height screens that take claw traffic, or finer weaves that keep more pollen out of the house. Spline hardens and shrinks in Georgia sun, which is why screens that have never been touched start sagging after a decade - new spline alone often restores the tension. We quote every screen before work begins, so a house full of screens never turns into a surprise invoice. Repaired screens go back in their windows the same visit.
Why clean screens keep your windows cleaner, longer
Skipping the screens is the most common reason freshly cleaned windows look spotty within a week. Rain does not make glass dirty on its own - it picks up whatever is sitting on the screen above and streaks it down the pane. In Atlanta that means pollen in spring, organic dust through summer, and fine debris after every storm. Cleaning the glass while leaving dirty screens in place is half a job, which is why we wash screens on every whole-home visit, itemized at $5 per screen. For homes near heavy tree cover or active construction, we recommend a screen wash between full cleanings to extend the streak-free window. Clean screens also protect the glass itself: grit trapped in mesh acts like sandpaper when screens are removed and reinstalled, leaving fine scratches over time. A few minutes of proper screen care each visit keeps both the mesh and the glass in better shape for years.
Honest assessments before any repair work begins
Not every screen needs repair, and not every repair is worth doing. When we inspect your screens during a cleaning visit, we sort them into three honest categories: screens that just need washing, screens worth repairing at $49 each, and screens where replacement makes more sense than repair. You get that assessment with prices before we touch anything, and there is no charge for looking. This is the same approach we take across all our services - we have cleaned more than 15,000 windows around Metro Atlanta since 2009 by telling homeowners what they actually need rather than what pads an invoice. Screen work is also easy to bundle: most customers add it to a scheduled window cleaning so the screens come off, get cleaned or repaired, and go back up in one visit with no extra trip charge. If you only need screen service without window cleaning, we do that too.

Screen cleaning and repair questions, answered
What Atlanta homeowners ask before booking screen service.
Is screen cleaning included with window cleaning?
Screen cleaning is itemized at $5 per screen - we remove each one, wash it, and reinstall it as part of your visit, so the screens behind your clean glass look just as good. Screen repair - fixing bent frames or replacing torn mesh - is a separate service at $49 per screen.
Can you fix a torn or sagging screen without replacing the whole thing?
Usually, yes. Most tears and sags come from tired spline or stretched mesh, both of which we can replace on your existing frame. We only suggest a new frame when the aluminum is bent beyond straightening or the corners no longer hold.
How do you clean screens without damaging the mesh?
We remove each screen, wash it flat with a soft brush and mild solution, rinse it, and let it dry before reinstalling. Scrubbing screens in place or hitting them with a pressure washer stretches the mesh, which is exactly what we avoid.
My screens look gray and fuzzy even after I hose them off. Why?
Hosing pushes pollen deeper into the weave instead of lifting it out. Atlanta pollen bonds to mesh with humidity, so it takes a flat wash with a brush on both sides to actually release it. The gray haze usually comes off completely.
Do you offer pet-resistant or fine-mesh screen upgrades?
Yes. When we rescreen a frame we can swap standard mesh for pet-resistant material on door-height screens or finer mesh that blocks more pollen. We will tell you the price difference up front before any work starts.
