But Screens Onsite KC isn’t your typical run of the mill handyman service that uses screen material that you’ll have to replace in just a few short years but instead, we use the most lasting, durable, and function screens that can stand up to the tough Kansas City elements and keep the fresh air coming into your home and porch while keeping everything else out. Bugs and other pests always start looking for a nice warm place to stay over the winter months and any holes, or tears in your screens are like a welcome mat for them. That’s why Screens Onsite KC makes sure that when we install screens on your windows, door, and porch, we make sure that the screens are firmly and thoroughly attached to the frames with no gaps to allow any unwanted guests or pests from getting through.

We only use the strongest screen materials available on the market that are mold, mildew, and UV ray resistant which is where most rescreening companies in Kansas City are fall short. Don’t wait until the cool, fall air creeps in and get your screens replaced now with the help of Kansas City’s rescreening experts at Screens Onsite KC.

Torn Or Separated Screens? We Replace Them In Kansas City!

It’s probably not a stretch to say that most homeowners were not relaxing on their screened-in porches and/or had their windows wide open because let’s face it, it’s been HOT in Kansas City this week. But with fall just a few weeks away and cooler weather on the way this weekend, it might be a good time to check your screens to see if there are any tears, holes, or if they’ve become separated from the frames.

Every year around this time we at Screens Onsite KC can’t help but notice that nearly every home improvement store starts promoting window, door, and porch screen replacement, and while it may seem like a good idea, most of our customers that chose to use them end up regretting it. The reason that home improvement stores’ screen repair doesn’t last is that, more often than not, they use aluminum and/or fiberglass screen material which makes no sense for the Kansas City area because it simply won’t last. At Screens Onsite KC, we meticulously pick only the most lasting, durable, and functional screen materials that won’t become weak or brittle due to the sun’s UV rays or separate from the frames during high winds.

We’ve said it since we started Screens Onsite in Kansas City and we’ll likely have to say it again and again: not all screen material is the same. For example, you’ve probably noticed your local home improvement or hardware store already reminding you that they offer screen repair as they are keenly aware the fall isn’t that far away. But the problem with the screens they use is that they are more often than not made of aluminum or fiberglass which don’t last long in the Kansas City elements and climate. The problems with aluminum and fiberglass screens are endless but the most obvious flaws are that they become weak and brittle after being exposed to the sun’s UV rays and extreme cold. On top of that, if you, your family, or your pets bump into fiberglass or aluminum screens, chances are they will tear or separate from the screen frame which either way is no good. Screens Onsite KC doesn’t cut corners on our screen material and we offer a variety of options so that you can pick the right strength and functionality of screens that suit your home’s lifestyle. From the unparalleled strength of our Super Screen to pet resistant, solar screens, and even pollen blocking screens for allergy sufferers, Screens Onsite KC has the best screen materials in the industry and we make it easy to get them installed because we come directly to you. Get any or all of your screens in your home ready for fall and call Screens Onsite KC today for a quote at (816) 406-8300 or CLICK HERE TO GET A QUOTE ONLINE!

Need New Screens For Your Windows, Porch, Or Screen Door This Summer?

Window, porch, and door screens wear out. That’s just a fact but some do so much faster than others particularly when they are outdated screen materials like aluminum or fiberglass. At Screens Onsite KC, we’ve seen so many screen nightmares over the years that we’ve gotten used to helping to educate our customers on the difference between screen material you can buy at a home improvement store and the lasting, durable screens we offer and install in the Kansas City area.

Our installers are courteous, professional, and most importantly never cut any corners when it comes to craftsmanship.

Summer Storms and Your Screens

Posted by webforcekc@gmail.com on
Summer Storms and Your Screens

If you’ve lived in the Kansas City area or Midwest for any amount of time you likely already know that in the summer months storms can pop up out of nowhere and they can cause quite a bit of damage in a short amount of time. This year we’ve already seen high winds and decent-sized hail which can damage roofs, vehicles, and even your porch, window, and sliding door screens. At Screens Onsite KC, we’re certainly no strangers to seeing these summer storms wreck screened-in porches, window screens, retractable/rolling screens, and patio doors which is why we’re busier than ever installing durable, lasting screen that can stand up to whatever the Kansas City weather throws at them.

Window, Porch, and Retractable Screen Repair in Kansas City, Lees Summit, and Overland Park

WIth traditional aluminum or fiberglass screen material, you don’t get much more than a few years of use out of them before they become weak, brittle, and more susceptible to wind and hail damage. The reason why is that over time fiberglass and aluminum screens tend to weaken due to prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays and the bitter, dry cold we see during the winter months. This makes them rip and tear easily and separate from the screen frames which is like opening the flood gates to the bugs and pests of summer. At Screens Onsite KC, we only use the strongest, lasting screen materials available for installing new screens and rescreening older ones because we know that the homeowners we work with expect and demand the very best. Our Super Screen material can withstand up to 900lbs of with which means that even the strongest storm winds and hail are no match for its durability. Even golf balls bounce off of our Super Screen material which is ideal for homeowners that live on or near a golf course because, let’s face it, stay balls are a constant bother. Don’t settle for anything less than the very best screens for your home this summer and let Screens Onsite KC install the most lasting, durable, and strongest screen material available.

Keep Ticks, Mosquitoes, and Bugs Out With New Screens

Keep Ticks, Mosquitoes, and Bugs Out With New Screens

Summer’s finally here in the Kansas City area and with the heat and humidity also comes the swarms of ticks, mosquitoes, cicadas, and other pests that no homeowner wants to see in their home or on their screened-in porch. With seemingly endless heavy rains throughout all of May and now oppressive heat heading into Kansas City this week, it’s the prime environment for insects of all types to thrive and if your window, porch, and door screens aren’t in tip-top shape, you can bet they’ll find a way through them.

At Screens Onsite KC, all we do is install screens on porches, windows, retractable screens, and screen doors throughout the greater Kansas City area and no offers better quality and craftsmanship so that our customers can keep the fresh air coming in and the legions of summer pests outside where they belong. Unlike your local home improvement store that uses old, outdated aluminum screen material, Screens Onsite KC offered the most lasting durable screens that can take years of abuse from the sun’s UV rays, the bitter winter winds, and the occasional pet or person accidentally bumping into them (which we all know happens more than we want to admit). Our Super Screen material is by far the most popular as it provides an unbelievable amount of strength (up to 900 lbs of pressure/weight), is resistant to UV rays, and also provides a good degree of privacy meaning you can see out of the screens but anyone outside has a difficult time doing so.

Our screen installers make sure that every square inch of the screens we install in windows, porches, patio doors, and retractable screens are done so with extreme attention to detail so that there are no gaps where unwanted pest could potentially “bug” you and your family (no pun intended). If it’s time to replace any or every screen in your home this summer call Kansas City’s rescreening and screen installation experts at Screens Onsite KC for unparalleled quality and craftsmanship.

Not all window and porch screens are the same and if you’ve owned your home for any amount of time you likely already know that some screen material just doesn’t last. Also, not all window and porch screen installers are the same and with so may new screening companies popping up every year you might want to do some research before you hire someone because most of them are national franchises that lack customer services and quality craftsmanship. When you combine weak screen material with poor window and porch screen installation it becomes a recipe for disaster especially when you consider that Kansas City area elements can be quite rough on screens. With the sun’s UV rays beating down all summer long and the bitter cold, winter winds that can separate screens from the frame, the Kansas City area climate can weaken or destroy sub-par window and porch screens in a matter of years.

The Early History of Window Screens

The Early History of Window Screens

rescreen-window-screen-replacement-Overland-Park-Kansas-City-rescreening

Art Screens Onsite KC, all we do is help Kansas City area homeowners and business owners rescreen their windows, doors, patios, porches and other screen enclosures and while the technology of screens has certainly advanced, screens actually a long history. It’s easy to take window and porch screens for granted because most of us have never really been without them throughout our lives but the use of screens and their history goes a back around 200 years.

Window, Porch and Screen Door Repair in Kansas City, Lees Summit and Liberty, MO

Cloth and more specifically cheesecloth was used on windows for centuries prior to the invention of woven wire window screens as we know them today to keep bugs and insects out of homes but cloth obviously had it’s limitations. While cheesecloth did allow air to come through windows, it didn’t last long because it obviously would tear quite easily and it didn’t allow much visibility through it. It wasn’t until around 1823 that the term “wove wire for window screens” was referenced in the American Farmer which was a series of periodical books that gave updates on life in rural farming communities among other topics.

Gilbert and Bennett factory (destroyed by fire in 1874)

Gilbert and Bennett factory

In 1861, a Connecticut based struggling company due to the Civil War called Gilbert and Bennett, which produced wire mesh screens for food processing, realized that their screens could be painted to prevent rusting and used in windows. At that point, Gilbert and Bennett shifted the focus of their company to solely to producing window screens or “wire cloth” as it was termed back then which revolutionized the ability to keep a home cool while keeping disease carrying insects like mosquitoes from being able to enter as well. In fact by the 1950’s most parasitic diseases in the United States had been mostly eradicated as a direct result of the widespread use of window screens. Today’s screen material is far superior to the wire mesh that was produced and used in the 1800’s as we no longer have to rely on alloy to produce screens. Modern screen material is more often than not fiberglass or a mix of materials to increase strength and durability.
