Screen mesh in Meridian Manor holds far more canal silt than the glass beside it. The subdivision sits in central Meridian between Linder and Meridian Road south of Ustick in 83646, and it is a phased community rather than one built all at once, recorded 1974–1995 across 7 phases. It runs about 82 acres. Sprinkler water comes off the Boise Project Board of Control's system, not the city main.

Worth knowing first: Meridian Manor is a phased community rather than one built all at once, recorded 1974–1995 across 7 phases (ZIP 83646, about 82 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 valley dust, plus the winter inversion that holds particulate down at ground level for weeks at a time 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. On Meridian Manor lots that water comes off the Boise Project Board of Control's pressurized line, which is why the problem shows up street-wide rather than house by house.
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. On Meridian Manor homes of this vintage we check condition before method, every time.
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. At about 82 acres, Meridian Manor is small enough that neighbours booking together is genuinely cheaper for everyone.
Meridian Manor is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work W Willowbrook Dr, W Chrisfield Dr, W Spicewood Dr and W Woodglen Pl inside the subdivision. It routes off Ustick, 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.
Most Meridian Manor customers book this alongside a window service. Partly that is price — one visit rather than two — and partly it is sequence. Washing walls after cleaning glass puts dirty water back on clean panes, and hanging lights before clearing gutters means working around your own strands in January. We handle the order so you do not have to think about it.

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.
