Santa Cruz County's
Unique Screen Problems
Window screens in coastal environments face accelerated deterioration and require specialized care to maintain function and longevity.
Salt Corrosion
Ocean spray carries microscopic salt particles that corrode screen mesh and metal frames, causing tears, holes, and frame deterioration. Coastal screens can fail 3-4x faster than inland screens.
Damage Timeline: Visible damage in 1-2 years
Solution: Regular salt-neutralizing treatments and frame maintenance
Marine Layer Deposits
The marine layer leaves fine salt and mineral particles that embed in screen mesh, reducing airflow and creating heavy, stiff buildup that's difficult to remove with standard cleaning.
Damage Timeline: Reduced airflow within 6 months
Solution: Specialized marine deposit removal treatments
Sandy Wind Damage
Coastal winds carry fine sand particles that abrade screen mesh, creating microscopic tears that enlarge over time and compromise screen integrity.
Damage Timeline: Abrasion damage within 1 year
Solution: Gentle cleaning with protective coatings
UV Frame Degradation
Intense UV exposure from direct ocean access breaks down plastic and rubber screen frame components, making them brittle and prone to cracking.
Damage Timeline: Frame brittleness in 2-3 years
Solution: UV-protective treatments and regular inspection

Frequently Asked
Screen Questions
Answers to common questions about our screen cleaning and repair services
A:Due to coastal conditions, we recommend cleaning screens monthly during summer and bi-weekly during fall. Spring cleaning is essential to remove winter salt buildup. Coastal properties may need more frequent cleaning to maintain optimal airflow and prevent salt damage.
A:Yes! We can repair most screen damage including small holes (up to 1 inch), tears along the spline, and frame issues. Professional repairs are often much more cost-effective than replacement, especially for custom-sized screens.
A:We offer both options! For most homes, we prefer to remove screens for thorough cleaning and inspection. However, we also offer mobile screen service where we clean screens while they're still in the windows, which is convenient for large homes or hard-to-reach windows.
A:We apply specialized salt-neutralizing treatments that create a protective barrier against future salt accumulation. These treatments are essential for coastal properties and can extend screen lifespan by up to 50%. We recommend annual treatments for oceanfront homes.
A:We can repair small to medium tears, holes, broken splines, bent frames, and damaged corners. We also re-mesh screens where the frame is still in good condition. For severely damaged screens, replacement may be more cost-effective.
A:Yes! We can fabricate custom screens for non-standard window sizes, specialty applications, and unique shapes. This includes pet screens, solar screens, and specialty mesh types. We provide professional installation and warranty our work.
A:Most homes take 1-3 hours depending on the number of screens and their condition. Heavily soiled screens or those requiring repairs may take additional time. We'll provide a time estimate with your quote.
A:Absolutely! We use eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are completely safe for pets, children, and the environment. Our products effectively clean screens without leaving harmful residues.
