About Us

My husband and I met while working for a local hardware store in 2007 and we married in July 2008. Since then it has been a consistent situation of adjustment and change. He entered our marriage with 2 children from a previous marriage and I entered with 4 of my own, the youngest being twins. We both grew up in South County and attended Affton School District and still currently reside there. We both since have left our meeting place of employment and moved on to bigger and better things but not without
learning the lesson that started St. Louis County Window and Screen Repair. Family is the most important thing, no matter what job title you have or how much money you make. Being Affton Residents for most of our lives, we realized that "out of town" conglomerates do not have the community in their interest, but their pocket books instead. So my husband set out to do what a good person would do since the majority of our home town residents are Senior Citizens living on retired budgets. Being a man that should have been born in the '50's, he decided that screens can save on electric, let people enjoy the beauty that Mother Nature provides, and go a step further and offer repairs at an affordable rate with discounts and he will even take them out and put them in. With that idea, St. Louis County Window and Screen Repair was born. Not knowing fully where to start, he bought some sticky vinyl boat letters and put them on the family van with Free Pick Up and Delivery and a phone number. After a short time, phone calls started coming in from all over the community and even further out. With the number on our family van, anywhere that we were driving, people could see our number and we started receiving calls as far out as Lake St. Louis. My husband, ecstatic about the response during a time that should have been the slow part of the season, went ahead and got the LLC for our little family idea to help people out with a very simple thing. In April of 2009, my over worked and over tired husband (who still works outside of the company) had an accident with a saw making custom screens and almost completely removed his thumb on his dominant hand. We got backed up, and I am doing the screens, just wasn't moving fast enough. We enlisted the help of other members of the family to help carry the load while his thumb heals and through the surgery the doctors want to do to it, but not one screen goes out with out my husbands "Seal of Approval" first, and quality is number one in his book. We still live in Affton and probably will the rest of our lives. Our oldest daughter will be a Senior at A.H.S. next year. She will be the third generation to call Affton her Alma Matter. A lot of residents know our faces from the local hardware store that we were employed for, and other jobs around the community. Our 10 year old son, who is has been practicing on family screens, can't wait until he can do them on his own so the next generation is set to carry on the morals that my husband has instilled in his business: Helpful Good Quality Made in the U.S.A. materials "If a child runs full force into this screen door, I want the screen to stay in the frame and the kid to bounce off of it".
