Prepare Your Windows and Doors for the Fall Season!
As fall approaches and the cooler weather sets in, now is the perfect time to prepare your windows and doors to enjoy the fresh breeze while keeping bugs out. Here’s a handy checklist to get your home ready for the season:
Fall Maintenance Checklist: Keep Your Home Comfortable and Bug-Free
Inspect and Repair Window Screens
Why it matters: Fall is the ideal time to ensure your window screens are in good shape to let fresh air in and keep pests out. Torn or damaged screens reduce the effectiveness of your windows.
What to do: Look for tears, holes, or worn-out mesh in your window screens. Consider getting new custom screens made to fit your windows perfectly or having existing ones repaired.
How Shea’s Window Solutions can help: We offer professional screen fabrication for windows to make sure your home stays bug-free while enjoying the fresh fall breeze.
Re-Screen Your Sliding Screen Doors
Why it matters: If you love keeping your sliding glass doors open in the cooler months, now is the time to ensure the screen door is in top shape. Worn-out mesh or damaged frames can allow pests to enter and make your sliding screen doors harder to operate.
What to do: Check for loose or broken mesh in your sliding screen doors and inspect the frame for any bending or damage.
How Shea’s Window Solutions can help: We offer re-screening services for sliding doors to ensure they operate smoothly and protect your home from pests.
Replace Worn or Rusted Screen Frames
Why it matters: Over time, window and door screen frames can become bent, rusted, or loose, especially after heavy use or harsh weather conditions.
What to do: Inspect the frames for signs of rust, wear, or any structural weakness. If the frame is rusted or warped, it’s time to consider replacing it.
How Shea’s Window Solutions can help: We provide screen frame replacements to ensure your screens are sturdy and ready to handle frequent use as the weather cools down.
Check for Gaps and Damage in Seals Around Screens
Why it matters: Gaps around your screens can allow cold air, insects, or moisture to sneak into your home. Ensuring a tight seal helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
What to do: Inspect the seals around your screens for any signs of cracking or gaps. If they look worn or damaged, it’s a good idea to replace or repair them.
How Shea’s Window Solutions can help: We offer seal repair services to help close those gaps, ensuring your home stays comfortable and free from bugs.
Clean and Maintain Sliding Door Tracks
Why it matters: Dirt, debris, and grime in your sliding door tracks can cause your screen doors to get stuck or move roughly, making them difficult to open and close.
What to do: Keep the tracks dry and clean by vacuuming or using a soft brush to remove debris. Use LC Wax (recommended for aluminum tracks) to keep the doors sliding smoothly.
How Shea’s Window Solutions can help: If cleaning doesn’t resolve your issue, we can repair or replace damaged tracks to ensure your sliding doors work perfectly for the fall season.
