Screen mesh in Apex Northwest holds far more canal silt than the glass beside it. The subdivision sits in far south Meridian south of Amity, between Meridian Road and Locust Grove in 83642, and it is one of Meridian's active build-outs, platted 2022–2027 across 6 phases. About 100 acres, compact enough that we can usually do several homes in one visit, and that scale is part of the quote. The pressurized irrigation here is mapped to the Boise Project Board of Control.

Apex Northwest is one of Meridian's active build-outs, platted 2022–2027 across 6 phases (ZIP 83642, about 100 acres). Screen mesh is a filter, and in Meridian it filters irrigation. Canal silt carried in sprinkler overspray dries in the weave, and because the mesh is rough it holds far more of it than the glass does. Add the working farm ground still south of Amity, which puts field dust on this glass through every spring disking and every fall silage run and pollen, and within a season the screen is carrying a grey load you can see through a freshly cleaned window. That is the complaint we hear most: 'you cleaned the glass but it still looks hazy.' It is almost always the screen. On Apex Northwest lots that water comes off the Boise Project Board of Control's pressurized line, which is why the problem shows up street-wide rather than house by house.
Scrubbing a screen in its opening pushes the silt deeper into the weave and flexes the frame. We pull each one, wash it flat on a padded surface so the mesh is supported, rinse it through from both sides, let it dry and reseat it in the same opening it came out of. Screens are not interchangeable — a frame that has sat in one opening for fifteen years has taken that opening's shape, and swapping them is how you end up with gaps. On Apex Northwest's newer builds the warranty paperwork usually still matters, so we work in a way that will not give anyone a reason to void it.
On newer builds the common finds are mesh that was never seated properly in the spline channel, and builder-grade frames that racked out of square during installation. Both are cheap to fix and we will point them out. We do not charge for a screen we cannot clean. At about 100 acres, Apex Northwest is small enough that neighbours booking together is genuinely cheaper for everyone.
We clean and reseat screens. We do not re-mesh or re-frame them. Where a screen is too brittle to survive being pulled we will show you before we touch it, and we do not charge for a screen we cannot clean. Saying this plainly costs us the occasional booking and saves everybody the version where you find out on the day.
Bundling with a window service saves a trip charge and gets the sequence right. We will tell you honestly if you do not need the second service yet — a bundle you do not need is not a saving.

Because it is real additional labour — every screen gets pulled, washed flat, dried and reseated. It is $50 added to a window service, which is far less than booking it on its own.
We handle them flat and supported, which is the gentlest way. On screens that are already brittle we will show you the risk before we pull them and let you decide.
Yes — they are tracked and reseated in the openings they came from. That matters more than people expect on older homes.
We do not re-screen. We will tell you which ones need it so you can get them redone rather than discovering it yourself next spring.
