Screen Cleaning in Austin
You can clean every pane in the house and still look through a grey haze, because the screen in front of it is holding years of dust. Here is what screen cleaning involves in Austin.
Screens are a filter, and they fill up
Mesh catches pollen and dust by design. Once it is loaded, it dulls the view and drops dirt back onto the glass every time the wind blows. A clean window behind a dirty screen still looks dirty.

What's included
- Careful removal and labeling of each screen
- Brushing and washing of the screen
- Wiping of screen frames
- Drying before reinstallation
Washed out, not sprayed through
We take screens out, wash them away from the glass, and dry them before they go back. Spraying a screen in place pushes the dirt straight onto the pane you have just cleaned.
What Austin glass is up against
Central Austin homes tend to have older timber sashes with many small panes, which are slow to do properly. West Austin and the Four Points side lean towards large modern openings, where the only thing that matters is a finish with no streaks in low sun.
- Oak pollen in spring
- Live oak pollen settles in a thick yellow film across central Austin every spring, then streaks the moment it rains.
- Divided-light sashes
- Older Tarrytown and Clarksville windows have dozens of small panes per window. They need hand detailing, not a quick squeegee.
Handling old frames
Older aluminium frames and brittle mesh need care. We will tell you if a screen is likely to come apart rather than finding out halfway through, and we can leave one in place if that is the safer call.
Working in Austin
Austin glass is not all the same job. The older streets around Tarrytown and Clarksville are full of divided-light sashes that have to be detailed by hand, pane by pane. Out towards Four Points and Steiner Ranch the houses are newer and taller, with big single sheets that show every streak. We price the two differently because they take different amounts of time, and we will tell you which one you have when we look at the house.
What it costs
We do not price Austin work from a table. We look at the property, count the glass, check the access, then give you a written price with no obligation. Your card is charged after the work is done, not before.

Screen Cleaning in Austin — common questions
Do my screens really need cleaning?
If they have not been done in a few years, yes. Mesh is a filter and once it is full it dulls the view and drops dirt back on the glass.
Do you clean screens in place?
No. They come out and are washed away from the glass, then dried before refitting.
What if a screen is damaged?
We will show you before we touch it. Brittle old frames can come apart, and we would rather leave one in than break it.
Is screen cleaning included in a window clean?
It is an add-on rather than automatic, because not every house wants it every visit.
How often should screens be done?
Once a year is plenty for most homes, or with every other window clean.
