Spring Forward with Screen Repair

As the days get longer and the weather heats up, naturally we fling open our windows to embrace the fresh air. But before you do, take a moment to inspect your window and door screens. A small tear or weak spot can quickly turn into a major pest problem come summer. That's why spring is the perfect time to address any screen repairs or replacements you might need.

Why Repair Screens in the Spring?

Here are just a few reasons why spring is the ideal time to tackle screen repair projects:

1. Preventative Maintenance: Winter's harsh winds and freezing temperatures can take a toll on screens. A springtime inspection allows you to identify and address any damage before it becomes a bigger issue.
2. Improved Airflow: With windows open more often in spring and summer, good quality screens ensure proper ventilation without letting unwanted insects and critters sneak in.
3. Enhanced Visibility: Ripped or damaged screens can obstruct your view and diminish the look of your home. Fixing them allows you to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors without any visual distractions.
4. Peace of Mind: Knowing your screens are in good condition gives you peace of mind throughout the warmer months. You can enjoy the fresh air and sunshine without worrying about pesky bugs buzzing around your home.

Spring Cleaning for Your Screens:

While you're at it, spring is also a great time to give your screens a good cleaning. Start by removing your screens, don’t forget to label the metal frame with a marker, or piece of tape for easy installation later. Next lay your screens out on a towel and run a handheld vacuum or a vacuum with an extendable attachment over the screen gently to remove loose debris like spider webs, dust and pollen. Flip the screen and repeat. A simple solution of mild soap and water will remove lingering dirt, dust, and cobwebs. Using a microfiber cloth or sponge gently wash both sides of the screen from top to bottom. Then rinse the screens before the soap has time to dry with a low pressure hose or shower head. Finally, towel dry the screens to remove excess moisture and let them air dry before reinstalling.

By taking the time to repair or replace your window and door screens now, you're setting yourself up for a pest-free and enjoyable summer season. So, don't wait until the bugs arrive – get a head start and enjoy the fresh spring air with confidence!
