Screen mesh in Apple Valley holds far more canal silt than the glass beside it. The subdivision sits in northwest Meridian between McDermott and Black Cat south of McMillan in 83646, and it is one of Meridian's original subdivisions, recorded 1973–1974 on one plat. The pressurized irrigation here is mapped to the Boise Project Board of Control. It runs about 80 acres.

Apple Valley is one of Meridian's original subdivisions, recorded 1973–1974 on one plat (ZIP 83646, about 80 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 west-side farm ground along Black Cat and McDermott, which throws field dust east across these roofs every time it is disked or cut 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. We see it most consistently on the homes along W Stavros St.
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. Being this close to McMillan means the road-facing elevation is always the one that needs the most attention.
Screens of this age are brittle. Old fiberglass mesh goes chalky and tears at a touch, and original aluminum frames bend rather than flex. We will tell you which ones are past saving instead of handing back a torn screen and saying nothing. We do not charge for a screen we cannot clean. If you are on W Stavros St or one of the streets off it, we are likely already working nearby.
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. We are locally owned and fully insured, and we would rather point you to the right trade than take work we cannot finish well.
Apple Valley is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work W Stavros St, N Glider Ave and N Edessa Ave inside the subdivision. It routes off McMillan, which is how we keep travel out of the price. If you can tell us the nearest cross street we can usually place you immediately and quote without a site visit. Where a property is unusual — a lot of divided lites, difficult access, a steep lot — we would rather come and look than guess at a number you would then have to have corrected.

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.
