Ranchero Estates screens grey out because the mesh filters irrigation silt out of the air. It sits in Boise between Five Mile and Maple Grove south of Amity in 83709, and it is older than most of the city around it — recorded 1973–1978 across 5 phases. At roughly 256 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. With 5 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 Amity 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 Ranchero Estates properties go from clean to visibly dirty faster than owners expect. If you are on S Missoula Way or one of the streets off it, we are likely already working nearby.
Ranchero Estates is on our regular Boise route, not a special trip. We already work S Maple Grove Rd, S Choctaw Way, S Missoula Way and S Omaha Pl inside the subdivision. It routes off Amity, 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.
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. Reflekt has been operating since April 2025, which is a shorter history than some of the companies you may be comparing us against. We would rather you knew that up front.

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.
