Why do I have to take my screens out?

"I don't know how to take my screens out"

We get a lot of folks saying that they don't know how to remove screens, but today (if you are one of them) is your lucky day because I'm about to teach you :)

Let's talk about window screens for a minute. They let you open the window for fresh air without letting bugs come inside also. They are made of very light materials and are designed to be removed and replace with ease for the purpose of cleaning and maintenance. Since The Window Viper Inc. adopted a ladder-less approach to exterior window cleaning we have been requesting clients to have the screens pulled out for us so we can reach the glass, safely from the ground, without the risk of falls and damage caused by ladders. 

Here is something you maybe do not know about them - Screens are designed to be removed and replaced from inside the building, so that the person living there can actually clean the windows from inside the house. The small plastic tabs are there to assist you but, aren't actually there to pull the screen out with. Check out this great youtube video I found for you:

Now you are a trained and certified screen popper inner outer!
