Screen mesh in Blackrock holds far more canal silt than the glass beside it. The subdivision sits in far south Meridian between Locust Grove and Eagle Road south of Amity in 83642, and it is a turn-of-the-2000s subdivision, recorded 2006–2007 on one plat. It covers about 224 acres, enough that there is real variety in elevation and glass package. Sprinkler water comes off the Boise Project Board of Control's system, not the city main.

The thing that shapes this job most is that Blackrock is a turn-of-the-2000s subdivision, recorded 2006–2007 on one plat (ZIP 83642, about 224 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. Across roughly 224 acres it is remarkably consistent — Blackrock is one job, not thirty different ones.
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 Amity means the road-facing elevation is always the one that needs the most attention.
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. Blackrock routes off Amity, so getting here is not a special trip.
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.
Most Blackrock customers book this alongside a window service. Partly that is price — one visit rather than two — and partly it is sequence. Washing walls after cleaning glass puts dirty water back on clean panes, and hanging lights before clearing gutters means working around your own strands in January. We handle the order so you do not have to think about it.

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.
