Window Screen Cleaning in Austin
Screen cleaning is usually an add-on rather than a reason to book on its own. Here is how to decide whether to include it on your next Austin visit.
When to add it
Add screens if they have not been done in two years or more, if you can see the mesh is grey rather than black, or if you are about to put the house on the market. Skip it if they were done last visit.

What's included
- Careful removal and labeling of each screen
- Brushing and washing of the screen
- Wiping of screen frames
- Drying before reinstallation
What it adds to the day
Screens add time rather than complexity. On a typical house it is an extra hour or two, because each one is removed, washed, dried and refitted.
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.
- Divided-light sashes
- Older Tarrytown and Clarksville windows have dozens of small panes per window. They need hand detailing, not a quick squeegee.
- Hard city water
- Austin tap water leaves mineral spotting if windows are rinsed with a hose. We use de-ionised water so nothing is left behind.
Doing it with the windows
It only makes sense alongside a window clean. Clean screens over dirty glass is as pointless as the reverse, and refitting a screen onto a wet pane is how marks get left.
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.

Window Screen Cleaning in Austin — common questions
How much does screen cleaning cost?
It is priced per screen as an add-on. We count them when we quote the windows so there is no surprise.
Can I book screen cleaning on its own?
We would rather do it with a window clean. On its own it gives you clean mesh over dirty glass.
How long does it add to the job?
An hour or two on a typical house, because every screen comes out, gets washed, dried and refitted.
Will the screens go back in the right windows?
Yes. They are kept in order, because screens are rarely interchangeable even when they look it.
Do you repair torn screens?
No, we do not do repairs. We will point out any damage we find.
Do you cover my street in Austin?
We work across Austin regularly, including Clarksville, Barton Hills, Zilker and the surrounding streets. Call or text (512) 200-2160 with your address and we will confirm straight away.
