If your Hidden Valley Estates windows still look hazy after a cleaning, it is almost certainly the screens. It sits in Boise between Cloverdale and Five Mile, just south of Lake Hazel in 83709, and it is a long build-out — the plats run 1968–1977 across 9 phases, so the housing stock spans a decade or more. At roughly 343 acres it is one of the larger communities in the city, and that scale is part of the quote.

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. We see it most consistently on the homes along W Hidden Valley Rim Rd.
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. That holds across 83709 generally, not just on this plat.
Two things drive this in Boise: untreated irrigation water off the canal system, and decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time. Separately each is manageable. Together they bond, and that is the condition we are actually treating on a Hidden Valley Estates job. At about 343 acres, Hidden Valley Estates is small enough that neighbours booking together is genuinely cheaper for everyone.
Hidden Valley Estates is on our regular Boise route, not a special trip. We already work W Hidden Valley Rim Rd, S Valley Heights Dr and W El Centro St inside the subdivision. It routes off Lake Hazel, 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. We are locally owned and fully insured, and we would rather point you to the right trade than take work we cannot finish well.

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.
