Screen cleaning and repair in Atherton.

Screens degrade faster than the glass they protect, especially in coastal markets where salt and palm shed work the mesh constantly. Cleaning alone is not always the right answer — sometimes the mesh has lost integrity and needs re-tensioning or replacement to actually do its job. The honest service approach is to identify the difference before assuming a wash will solve it.

In Atherton, the conditions of the Peninsula market sharpen the need. Atherton screens collect oak pollen and fine organic debris under mature canopy, and seasonal cleaning keeps both airflow and appearance from slipping.

1. Removal and inspection of every screen as part of the visit.
2. Wet-wash cleaning of cleanable screens with appropriate chemistry.
3. Re-tensioning of screens where mesh has loosened on the frame but is otherwise intact.
4. Replacement quoted separately for screens where mesh has lost integrity or torn.

• Spring or post-storm refresh on the screen inventory.
• Pre-listing, where degraded screens read as deferred maintenance to buyers.
• After a pet has compromised screen mesh on accessible windows or doors.
• When screens show visible accumulation that cleaning alone does not address.
