Customers say: Quick response

Recommended by 100% of Angi customers

I have been cleaning windows in the Mankato MN area for five years. I am in a partnership with my Fiance Carrie who helps me meet a high customer service standard with her clerical expertise and moral support. I have reliable help which I employ when needed. I specialize in residential window cleaning, but also clean several local business windows on a regular basis. According to customer feedback, my prices are not high compared to other window cleaners and am told that I do a better job than other window cleaners that they have employed. I try to take care of the little details that may be overlooked if a job is rushed. For example, I clean the interior and exterior frames around the window, wipe the edges of the glass, clean the sills, am careful about drips on the siding and the flooring or beautiful wood trim inside homes. Also, I move funiture and place back, remove and wipe screens, dust off the tops of trim and hard to reach sills, and pay attention to the dog. All of this is included in the basic service. My goal is to build a trusting and healthy relationship with my clients, earning repeat business, and building my own personal integrity by doing a high quality job that I am proud of.

Screen Repair questions, answered by experts

If you’d rather repair your screen door mesh than replace it, you can patch it. Purchase a mesh patch for screen doors with small holes or tears, especially if the mesh is pretty new. Hardware stores and websites sell mesh patches that are easy to apply with an adhesive or a warm hair dryer. Keep in mind that repairs won’t look as aesthetically pleasing in most cases as a full replacement.

The cost ultimately depends on size, but roughly, the most popular screen materials will set you back anywhere from around $0.25 to over $25 per square foot. Fiberglass and aluminum are usually less expensive at around $0.25 to $0.70 per square foot. Solar screens cost about $7.50 to $15 per square foot, while security screens range from around $10 to $25 per square foot.

When it comes to repairing or replacing an existing screen door, you’ll want to weigh a few considerations first. Think about whether you need a new frame or simply new mesh, whether you’re tired of the current frame style, and whether you now need more durability.

The screen material you choose depends on your needs. Here are some differences to consider:

Fiberglass is the least expensive but needs replacing more often.
Aluminum suits almost any job and doesn’t stretch as easily as fiberglass.
Pet-resistant screens are more expensive than fiberglass or aluminum, but they’re also wind and weather-resistant.
Metal screens, like stainless steel, are the most expensive material for rescreening your porch or sunroom. However, they last for years and are golf ball-resistant.

Windows screens normally last between 10 and 12 years before they need to be replaced. Rips, tears, or brittle material can all compromise window screen function. While small tears can be repaired, larger areas of damage are an indication that it’s time to replace the entire screen. Other signs of damaged window screens to look out for include sagging, fading, or spots that look thinner compared to the rest of the screen.
