Opus Window Cleaning cleans window screens for Tomball homeowners as an add-on to interior and exterior window cleaning, so fresh glass doesn’t get dirty again from the screen in front of it.
Most people only think about screens when the glass is getting cleaned, and by then the screen has been doing the dirtiest job in the house for months. It sits on the outside of the window and filters everything the air carries: pollen, road dust, insects, cobwebs, and whatever the neighbor’s mower kicked up on Saturday morning. Glass catches some of that. A screen catches nearly all of it.
Opus Window Cleaning offers screen cleaning to Tomball homeowners as an add-on to interior or exterior window cleaning. It’s worth adding for a simple reason. A freshly cleaned window behind a dirty screen won’t stay fresh for long, because every breeze pushes the trapped buildup right back onto the glass.
Each screen comes out of its frame gently and goes back in the window it came from. Screens aren’t always interchangeable, so each one returns to its own opening.
Fine dust, pollen film, bug debris, and cobwebs are cleaned out of the mesh and off the frame without stretching or distorting the screen.
A screen sits in a channel that collects dust, dead bugs, and pollen, and you can only reach it while the screen is out. We wipe each track before the screen goes back in, so the debris sitting there doesn’t blow onto freshly cleaned glass.
While a screen is out, the frame and corners get a quick look. Bent frames, loose corners, and torn mesh are easy to see on a removed screen and easy to miss on an installed one.
Screen cleaning is an additional service priced separately from interior and exterior window cleaning.
Plenty of Texas homes use solar screens to cut heat and glare, and those are a different animal from standard fiberglass mesh. They’re denser, so dust packs in tighter, and they dent and warp more easily under heavy pressure. Opus Window Cleaning handles them with lighter pressure and soft tools so the mesh stays flat and the frame stays square.
If your home has solar screens, m
Every screen goes through the same sequence, from the moment it leaves the window to the moment it goes back in.
Remove the screen from the window
Each screen comes out of its frame gently so the mesh doesn’t stretch and the frame doesn’t bend. We keep every screen paired with its own window, since screens aren’t always interchangeable.
Check the mesh and frame
Before any cleaning starts, we look over the mesh, corners, and frame. Tears, loose corners, and bent edges are easy to spot on a removed screen, and we point them out so you know the condition before we clean.
Spray the screen
A cleaning solution goes onto the mesh to break down the dust, pollen, and grime packed into the weave. Screens from homes near unpaved roads and open land get extra attention here, since dust compacts into the mesh and turns it gray.
Scrub the screen
Soft, non-abrasive pads and light pressure lift stubborn buildup from the mesh and frame. Fine mesh and denser solar screens stay flat and tight instead of stretching or denting.
Rinse and dry the screen
The loosened dirt and solution get rinsed away, and the screen dries before it goes back, so no moisture or residue gets carried onto your clean glass.
Reinstall the screen
Each screen goes back into its original window and gets seated securely in the frame, with no gaps or loose corners.
Tools and products shift with the type of screen, how much buildup it’s carrying, and how high the window sits.
After Spring Pollen Season
Oak and pine pollen loads screens heavily from March through May. Cleaning them once the worst has passed means summer starts with clear mesh instead of a yellow-green film.
Before Opening the Windows in Fall
After a long, hot summer with the AC running, screens have sat untouched for months. A cleaning before the first cool weekend makes opening the windows a nice idea instead of a dusty one.
When Your Glass Keeps Getting Dirty Right After a Cleaning
If windows look fine for a week and hazy by the second, the screen is usually why.
After Nearby Construction or Landscaping Work
Development along the 249 corridor, or a big landscaping job next door, leaves fine grit in screens that a rinse won’t remove.
Before Listing a Home
Buyers notice gray, clogged screens in person even when they can’t say why a house feels neglected. It’s a small add-on that improves the walkthrough.
Screen cleaning is available across Tomball, including Woodson’s Reserve, Willow Creek Ranch, Copperfield, Northpointe, Rosehill, historic downtown Tomball, and the surrounding areas along the 249 corridor.

No. It’s an add-on priced separately, and it’s added to an interior or exterior window cleaning visit.
Once or twice a year works for most homes. Properties near unpaved roads, open land, or heavy tree cover do best with two cleanings, one after spring pollen.
Not with soft tools and light pressure. Screens that are already torn, brittle from sun exposure, or loose in the frame can be fragile, and any visible damage is pointed out before cleaning.
Yes, with extra care. They’re denser and dent more easily than standard mesh, so let us know about them when you request your estimate.
We’ll point it out while the screen is out so you can decide what to do next. Cleaning a damaged screen won’t repair it.
Yes. Airflow through the window improves, and the glass stays clean longer because the screen stops shedding trapped dust onto it.
Clean glass behind a dirty screen is only half the job. Opus Window Cleaning removes, cleans, and reinstalls your screens in the same visit as your window cleaning, and gives you a straightforward quote before anything is touched.
