If your Cedar Springs windows still look hazy after a cleaning, it is almost certainly the screens. The subdivision sits in north Meridian between Linder and Meridian Road, just south of McMillan in 83646, and it is twenty-odd years old, recorded 2003–2007 across 8 phases. It covers about 178 acres, which is large enough that we route it as its own stop, and that scale is part of the quote. Settlers Irrigation District supplies the pressurized irrigation on these lots.

Cedar Springs is twenty-odd years old, recorded 2003–2007 across 8 phases (ZIP 83646, about 178 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 north Meridian's open-ground wind fetch, which still carries construction and field dust off the sections that have not been built yet 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 178 acres it is remarkably consistent — Cedar Springs 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. It is the single most common thing we get called about in Cedar Springs.
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 178 acres, Cedar Springs 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.
Cedar Springs is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work W Yosemite Dr, N Portage Ave, W Black Rock Dr and N Wildcat Pl 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.
