Screen mesh in Magic View holds far more canal silt than the glass beside it. The subdivision sits in southeast Meridian between Locust Grove and Eagle Road south of Franklin in 83642, and it is older than most of the city around it — recorded 1972–1973 on one plat. It covers about 128 acres, which is large enough that we route it as its own stop, and that scale is part of the quote. The pressurized irrigation here is mapped to the Boise Project Board of Control.

Magic View is older than most of the city around it — recorded 1972–1973 on one plat (ZIP 83642, about 128 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 Eagle Road traffic film — brake dust and diesel particulate carried off the busiest arterial in Ada County 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. We see it most consistently on the homes along S Wells St.
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 Magic View.
Screens of this age are brittle. Old fiberglass mesh goes chalky and tears at a touch, and original aluminum frames bend rather than flex. We will tell you which ones are past saving instead of handing back a torn screen and saying nothing. We do not charge for a screen we cannot clean. If you are on S Allen St or one of the streets off it, we are likely already working nearby.
Bundling with a window service saves a trip charge and gets the sequence right. We will tell you honestly if you do not need the second service yet — a bundle you do not need is not a saving.
Magic View is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work S Wells St, E Magic View Dr, S Allen St and E Freeway Dr inside the subdivision. It routes off Franklin, which is how we keep travel out of the price. Neighbours booking on the same day is the cheapest way to do it — we are already set up on the street, so the second and third homes cost less to serve than the first. If two or three of you want it done, say so when you book and we will schedule you together.

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.
