If your Quail Ridge windows still look hazy after a cleaning, it is almost certainly the screens. It sits in Boise south of Floating Feather, between Orchard and Federal in 83703, and it is a long build-out — the plats run 1989–2008 across 10 phases, so the housing stock spans a decade or more. It covers about 248 acres, large enough that we route it as its own stop, 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. With 10 phases recorded, the older streets show it further along than the newest ones, and we price accordingly.
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. Being this close to Floating Feather means the road-facing elevation is always the one that needs the most attention.
The local variable here is decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time. It does not act alone — it lands on glass and siding still damp from irrigation and binds into the mineral film, which is why Quail Ridge properties go from clean to visibly dirty faster than owners expect. Quail Ridge routes off Floating Feather, so getting here is not a special trip.
Most Quail Ridge customers book this alongside a window service. Partly that is price, partly 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 clean and reseat screens. We do not re-mesh or re-frame them, and we do not charge for a screen we cannot clean. Saying this plainly costs us the occasional booking and saves everybody the version where you find out on the day.

+$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.
