Window screens: clean, repair or replace?
A clean window behind a dirty screen still looks dull. How to tell which one you need.
Service
Screen repair in Bozeman and Belgrade
Torn mesh and brittle spline replaced, so a screen keeps the bugs out and sits right in its frame again.
Torn mesh and brittle spline can usually be replaced without replacing the screen. Re-screening is $15 a screen for the work, plus the mesh, which is charged by the square foot and depends on the type you choose.
It is often done on the same visit as a window cleaning, while the screens are down anyway.
Repair or replace?
A frame that has bent or cracked at the corners will not sit properly again, and it is better replaced than forced back in. We will tell you which yours is.
What is included
Included
- New mesh fitted to the frame, and new spline to hold it
- The screen put back in its own opening
Not included
- Frames bent past straightening: we will tell you, not quietly reinstall them
