That much open water means salt air, humidity, and boat traffic dust are a daily fact of life for windows and siding here.. Screens catch a lot of that before it ever reaches your glass — which is why we clean them on every visit to Punta Gorda.
It's easy to forget about screens — until you notice how much dimmer a room looks, or how little breeze makes it through. Pollen, dust, salt air, and cobwebs build up in the mesh gradually, so the difference after a cleaning is often bigger than homeowners expect. We remove every screen, wash the mesh and frame separately from the glass, and rehang each one back in its original spot — no mismatched screens, no gaps.
