Lexington Hills sits inland — away from the sharp granite grit blowing off Willow Creek and Beacon Light, and away from the river cottonwood that mats screens in the Two Rivers corridor. That makes this the most straightforward screen work in Eagle, and it is worth saying plainly.
Most of Lexington Hills was built during the mid-2000s and 2010s, the same wave that filled in Brookwood, Ashbury and Mace River Ranch nearby: vinyl double-pane casements and sliders on standard two-story rooflines. Being set inland means these screens miss the two loads that make Eagle's foothills and riverfront mesh difficult. What lands here is the standard valley mix — windblown dust, spring tree and grass pollen, a smoke film most Julys and Augusts, and sprinkler throw on the lower panels. That is a lighter job, and a clean lasts longer.
Set back from the river or not, Lexington Hills runs on the same untreated pressurized irrigation that feeds nearly every Eagle subdivision off the canal system rather than treated culinary supply. That water carries silt along with dissolved minerals, so sprinkler throw hitting a lower screen leaves a gritty mineral film rather than a clean water spot — and it comes back every watering cycle. Screens in sprinkler range are the ones that load fastest here, and adjusting a head that is throwing at the house does more good than any cleaning interval.
There is no dramatic dust story here and we are not going to invent one. What loads these screens is the ordinary valley mix: windblown dust, spring tree and grass pollen, a smoke film most Julys and Augusts, and whatever the sprinklers throw onto the lower panels. That is genuinely easier than a foothills or riverfront lot, and it shows up in how long a clean lasts rather than in the method. Screens come out, get hand-washed with pure deionized water, and go back in with no soap residue left in the weave to attract the next round.
Vinyl and newer aluminum frames on these builds pull and reseat without drama, so screens come out, get washed individually, and go back into the opening they came from. The detail worth knowing is the sill groove on horizontal sliders: it catches pollen, fluff and fine silt, and once it packs in the panel starts to bind and the track stains. Clearing that groove is part of the job rather than an add-on, because putting a clean screen back over a packed track just hides the problem until the slider stops moving smoothly.
Screen cleaning is $50 added to a window service and free annually on any membership. Given the lighter load out here, the once-a-year membership clean genuinely covers most houses in this neighborhood — you do not need a shorter cycle just because a foothills lot two miles north does. The exception is any screen sitting in direct sprinkler throw. If you can still read fine print through the mesh on a bright day, you are fine to wait, and we will tell you that rather than booking work you do not need.

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Inland lots miss both the decomposed-granite grit and the river cottonwood, so the annual membership clean covers most houses here. The one exception is any screen in direct sprinkler throw — that mineral film loads faster than airborne dust does.
Yes. They come out, get washed individually with pure deionized water, and go back into the exact opening they left — labeled, so nothing gets swapped. Washing a screen in place just drives the load deeper into the weave and soaks the sill.
It is $50 added to a window service, and it is free once a year on any membership. We do not push it as a separate trip, because pulling screens is already half the work of cleaning the glass behind them.
We flag anything already failing rather than forcing it. If a frame is too brittle or a corner key has let go, you will hear about it before we pull, and we will clean it in place instead of handing you a broken panel.
Yes — Lexington Hills is one of the Eagle neighborhoods we cover, along with the rest of the city from the foothills down to Chinden. Call or text (208) 453-6760 and we will tell you the next open slot.
Our 7-Day Rain Guarantee covers it. Rain on already-clean glass is mostly harmless — it is the dust it lands on that spots. If a storm undoes the work inside seven days, we come back.
