Preparing for a Free In-Home Screen Measurement

Ten minutes of prep makes your measurement visit fast, accurate and quote-ready. Here's the checklist.

Bloom Bug Screens September 7, 2026

Booking a free in-home measurement is the easiest way to get perfectly fitting screens — no guesswork, no returns. A few minutes of preparation makes the visit quick and your quote precise.

Make every opening accessible

Open the curtains or blinds on each window and door you want screened, and clear furniture, plants and décor back a foot or two from the openings. Our tech needs to reach the track, the frame and both sides of each window.

Note the problem openings

Walk the house and jot down any window that's sticking, out of square, has a damaged frame, or a screen that's currently failing. Tell us up front so we spec the right solution rather than discovering it mid-build.

Decide your priorities

Have a sense of what matters most per room: bug-blocking (no-see-um mesh), pet resistance, sun control, or an unobstructed view (retractable). We'll bring samples so you can see and feel the difference, but knowing your priorities speeds the selection.

Gather a few details

  • Approximate age of the windows/doors.
  • Any brand names visible on the frames.
  • Photos of problem screens you can text ahead.

What to expect

A typical visit takes 20–45 minutes depending on the number of openings. We measure, recommend mesh and frame per window, and send a clear per-opening quote — usually the same day. There's no obligation.

Book your measurement and we'll bring the samples, the tape and the know-how.
