Screen mesh in Foothills East holds far more silt than the glass beside it. It sits in Boise east of Broadway, just south of State in 83712, and it is platted 1973–1980 across 9 phases, back when this was farm ground with a few houses on it. It covers about 160 acres, large enough that we route it as its own stop — which is what the quote is built from.

Screen mesh is a filter, and here it filters irrigation. 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 decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time and pollen and within a season the screen carries 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 about 160 acres the pattern barely varies here.
Scrubbing a screen in its opening pushes 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 from both sides, dry it and reseat it in the same opening it came from. Screens are not interchangeable — a frame that has sat in one opening for fifteen years has taken that opening's shape. We do not charge for a screen we cannot clean, and we will tell you which are too brittle to pull. On Foothills East homes of this vintage we check condition before method, every time.
Boise glass carries something the rest of the valley does not: foothills grit. Decomposed granite off the slope is sharp and fine, it travels on the afternoon downslope wind, and in winter the valley inversion holds everything else down at ground level with it. On a Foothills East property that shows up as a shorter useful interval than the same work would hold somewhere else in the valley, which is worth knowing before you decide how often to book. At about 160 acres, Foothills East is small enough that neighbours booking together is genuinely cheaper for everyone.
Foothills East is on our regular Boise route, not a special trip. We already work E Mortimer Dr, E Roanoke Dr and N Morningside Way inside the subdivision. It routes off State, which is how we keep travel out of the price. We schedule by area rather than first-come, which keeps drive time down and holds prices where they are.
We clean and reseat screens. We do not re-mesh or re-frame them, and we do not charge for a screen we cannot clean. Reflekt has been operating since April 2025, which is a shorter history than some of the companies you may be comparing us against. We would rather you knew that up front.

Because it is real additional labour — every screen pulled, washed flat, dried and reseated. At $50 added to a window service it is far less than booking it alone.

+$50 with a window service. The final number depends on the property, and there is no contract and no membership requirement. Booking it alongside another service on the same visit is the cheapest way to do it.
We handle them flat and supported, which is the gentlest way. On screens already brittle we show you the risk before pulling them and let you decide.
We do not re-screen. We will tell you which ones need it so you can get them redone rather than discovering it next spring.
