Screen Cleaning vs Screen Restoration in Chandler, AZ
What cleaning and restoration each do for window screens, solar screens and sunshades in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale. Every ScreenRevive visit includes both.
“Fast, efficient and professional service. Excellent job.”
What Screen Cleaning Does
Screen cleaning removes dust and dirt from the mesh. Some window washers offer it as an add-on: they rinse or scrub the screens and put them back.
On standard window screens, a thorough cleaning clears the view. On sunscreens, cleaning removes the loose and packed dust, and the white haze on the surface stays.
Our cleaning step uses a cleaning compound and a motorized brush that reaches the corners and the spline channel, where dust packs in hardest.
BeforeAfterWhat Screen Restoration Adds
We do screen restoration at homes and businesses in Chandler and across the East Valley. It starts with a deep clean, then adds a restoration treatment. Steve developed ScreenRevive's proprietary multi-step screen restoration process: cleaning compound, motorized brush, a light rinse on both sides, air dry, then the restoration and finishing treatment.
On sunscreens that are still structurally sound, restoration brings back an even, dark color. You can see it in the side-by-side photos on our recent restoration projects.
Cleaning and Restoration Side by Side
Here is what each step covers on a ScreenRevive visit. Cleaning is the first half. Restoration is the second half, and it is the part that brings back the color on faded sunscreens.

Benefits of Sunscreen Restoration
We do sunscreen restoration in Chandler for homeowners who would rather keep the screens they have. A restored sunscreen shades the glass the way it was built to, gives the house an even color from the street, and puts off the cost of a new set.
Solar screens block most of the sun before it reaches the glass. Dust and haze cut into that. Restoring the fabric lets a sunscreen do the job it was bought for, and a clearer weave gives you a better view out of the window.
The frames stay on your windows, and the work happens in your driveway in one visit. For the full details on each screen type, see window screen cleaning and solar screen cleaning.
Which Screens Can Be Restored
Most screens that are still structurally sound can be cleaned and restored. Screens with brittle mesh, tears, badly damaged frames or advanced wear may need repair or replacement.
We inspect the condition of every screen and explain our recommendation before doing any additional work. Minor repairs are added only as approved additions to a scheduled restoration visit.
Screens That Usually Restore Well
Sunscreens that are dusty, grey or hazy but still flexible, with intact mesh and square frames. Standard window screens with dust packed into the weave and corners.
Screens That Need Repair or Replacement
Mesh that cracks when pressed, tears, missing spline, broken clips or bent frames. We point these out during the inspection and give you the price before any repair.
Why Every ScreenRevive Visit Includes Both
Cleaning prepares the fabric, and the restoration treatment goes on a clean, dry screen. Doing both in the same visit means every screen is removed once, handled once and reinstalled once.
Whenever practical, we show you a restored screen next to one that hasn't been done yet, so you see the difference before we reinstall. Steve or a member of his crew does the work at your property, and the screens never leave it. Licensed and insured, ROC 355906. More about ScreenRevive

Frequently Asked Questions
Every ScreenRevive visit includes both. The package price covers the deep clean and the restoration treatment on every standard screen, so there is no separate cleaning-only price.
Often the change is dramatic, and results vary. Age, sun exposure, staining and existing damage all play a part. We tell you during the visit which screens can be revived and which need repair or replacement.
No. Restoration treats the fabric. Torn mesh, worn spline, broken clips and bent frames need repair, which we explain and price during the visit and complete only as an approved addition.
A standard home is finished in one visit. The exact time depends on how many screens you have, their size and condition, and how easy they are to reach.
$349 for up to seven screens on a single-story home, $499 for up to 20 on a single-story home, and $599 for up to 20 on a two-story home. Additional standard screens are $35 each. Commercial work is quoted.
