Window Screen Cleaning in Pecos
Ponderosa pollen is finer and far more abundant than most people expect, and it coats screens for several weeks each spring. Add needle litter and canyon debris and the mesh loads heavily. We hand-wash each screen off the window.
Screens here are also the first thing monsoon runoff hits on its way down the wall. A mesh full of pine debris becomes a filter that dumps its contents onto the glass with the first heavy storm, which is why timing the clean for after the monsoon matters as much as the cleaning itself.
What's Included
- Careful removal of all screens
- Hand-washing with soft brush and cleaning solution
- Thorough rinse to remove all soap, dust, and debris
- Inspection for torn mesh or damaged frames
- Proper reinstallation — every screen back where it belongs
- Available as part of the 5-in-1 Scrub Down bundle
Pollen first, then pitch
The Pecos canyon is forested, so screens here take ponderosa and piñon pollen heavily in spring and then pitch and sap through the warm months. Pitch is what separates this from ordinary screen dirt: it bonds to the mesh and to whatever lands on it afterwards, building a layered deposit that gets progressively harder to remove the longer it sits through the season.
Rinsing is not enough on its own
Bonded pitch will not rinse out, and pressure that would shift it will deform the mesh. We remove the screens, work them with a soft brush and a solution that releases the resin rather than blasting it, then rinse until the water runs clear. Monsoon runoff also carries roof and gutter debris onto screens below, which we clear as part of the same pass.
Pricing
Screen cleaning is $3 per screen, or bundled in the 5-in-1 Scrub Down starting at $100.

Common Questions
After pine pollen finishes in late spring, and again after the monsoon in September once the runoff has stopped carrying debris down the wall.
Usually, with solvent and a hand wash. Heavily pitched mesh sometimes stays marked, and we'll tell you if that's what we find.
Twice a year for most canyon properties.
