Careful screen cleaning and minor repairs that keep fresh mountain air flowing in and bugs staying out, for homes across Summit County, Colorado.
Screens are easy to forget until you notice them. You finish cleaning your windows, step back, and the glass still looks dull because a dusty screen is sitting right in front of it. In Summit County, screens catch everything the mountain air carries: pine pollen in early summer, dust from dirt roads and construction, ash and smoke particles during fire season, and small debris blown in by afternoon winds. Over time, that buildup blocks light, cuts down airflow, and makes the view from inside look gray and hazy.
A Pane In My Glass provides screen cleaning and minor screen repair for homes throughout Summit County, Colorado, including Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon, and Keystone. Owner Nathan has more than 25 years of experience caring for windows and everything around them, and he handles each screen by hand. Because he works on every job himself, the same careful approach applies whether you have one sliding door screen or a whole house full of windows. Screens are delicate, and a little too much pressure or the wrong tool can stretch the mesh or bend a frame. Taking the time to do it right means your screens come back cleaner and in good working order, ready for open-window evenings in the summer.
Every screen is washed, rinsed, dried, and checked before it goes back in the window. If a screen needs attention, you will know about it.
We treat your screens with the same care as your glass. Each one goes back in the right window, seated properly and ready to use.
Here is how screen cleaning works. Nathan removes each screen and keeps track of where it belongs, so everything goes back in the right spot. The mesh is gently washed to lift dust, pollen, cobwebs, and dirt without stretching or tearing it. Frames are wiped clean, and the tracks the screens sit in are cleared of debris. While each screen is out, he inspects it for small problems such as loose spots or minor damage. Many minor issues can be fixed on the spot. If a screen needs more than a minor repair, we will let you know so you can decide what to do next.
Clean screens do more than look nice. They let more natural light into your home, improve airflow when the windows are open, and help keep insects outside where they belong. Dirty screens can also undo the work of a fresh window cleaning, since dust on the mesh drifts onto clean glass the first time the wind picks up. That is why many Summit County homeowners have their screens cleaned at the same time as their windows. Late spring is a popular time, right before the warm months when windows stay open. Fall works well too, after a season of pollen, dust, and smoke has built up. If you have pets or young kids, screens may also need more frequent checks, since they tend to take more wear from paws and hands. Keeping screens in good shape also helps them last longer, which saves you the cost of replacing them.
