Screen cleaning in Pine Ridge.

Pine Ridge Estates sits inland on large acreage lots, so the screens here have a different problem than the homes on the water. There's far less direct salt this far back; what loads the mesh instead is the heavy irrigation these big lawns run, the oak and pine pollen the wooded lots shed, and plain road and lawn dust. The sprinkler overspray is the real culprit — it dries hard-water minerals into the lower weave of the screen the same way it frosts the bottom of the glass, and a dry brush just grinds it in.

We pull the window and lanai panels, flush that mineral-laden overspray and pollen out of the mesh so it rinses clear, and reseat each one square. On an acreage estate the screen runs are long and there's a lot of them, so it pairs efficiently with exterior window cleaning — and where the same overspray has bonded onto the glass behind the screen, our hard-water stain removal lifts those deposits off the pane while we have the screen out.

Year-round residents here notice the pollen seasons most. Set a cadence around your irrigation and the spring bloom and get your instant quote.
