The Overlooked Part of Every Window
Screens spend all year collecting whatever the air carries. In Worcester, that means thick yellow pollen each spring from the city's oaks and pines, dust and road grime from busy streets, cobwebs in the corners and insects caught in the mesh. A dirty screen dims the light coming into a room, makes freshly washed glass look dull and can drip muddy streaks down the window the first time it rains. Torn or loose screens are worse, letting mosquitoes and other pests right inside.
Our screen cleaning and repairs service tackles both problems, so screens look good and do their job.
How We Clean Screens in Worcester, MA
Screens are removed carefully and cleaned off the window, which is the only way to reach both sides of the mesh and the frame. We gently wash away pollen, dust and residue, rinse thoroughly and let them dry before reinstalling. Frames are wiped down and the window tracks underneath are cleaned while the screens are out. The result is a clearer view and better airflow, especially noticeable in summer when windows are open.
- Screens removed, washed on both sides and rinsed
- Frames and window tracks cleaned while screens are out
- Torn, sagging or damaged mesh replaced
- Bent frames and loose splines addressed where possible
Screen Repair and Rescreening
Worcester's triple-deckers, capes and colonials often have screens that have been in place for many years. Mesh tears from pets, kids or storms, and splines can dry out and pull loose. Rather than replacing the entire unit, we can rescreen the existing frame with new mesh, which restores the screen at a fraction of the trouble. If a frame is too damaged to repair, we will let you know.
Pairing Screens With Window Cleaning
Screen service fits naturally with our residential window cleaning. Since the screens are already coming off for the glass to be cleaned properly, washing or repairing them at the same time is efficient and ensures nothing dirty goes back on a freshly cleaned window. Many Worcester homeowners book this combination each spring, after pollen season peaks, so they can open their windows to clean, unobstructed air for the warm months.
Standard window cleaning can be booked online. Worcester homes with outside storm sashes or gridded glass should be booked by phone, since screens and grids together take longer. Busy Bee is based in nearby Northborough, and Worcester is a core part of our service area. Find more about what we do in the city on our Worcester window cleaning page.
Screen quotes are free, our crew is insured, and a screen that still looks dusty after service gets another pass. Count your screens before you get in touch, and note any that are torn, so we can prepare the right materials.
