Screen mesh in Steins holds far more silt than the glass beside it. It sits in Garden City south of Floating Feather, between Five Mile and Maple Grove in 83714, and it is one of the city's original subdivisions, recorded 1906–1907 on one plat. It covers about 178 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 river-bottom damp that keeps north elevations from drying, plus traffic film off Chinden Boulevard and State Street 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. We see it most consistently on the homes along N Bogart Ln.
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. On Steins homes of this vintage we check condition before method, every time.
Garden City is a narrow strip along the Boise River, and almost everything about the glass here follows from that: river-bottom humidity and shade on one side, Chinden and State Street traffic film on the other, and a housing stock that runs from 1950s cottages to brand-new riverfront townhomes within the same block. That is the honest reason we push timing as hard as we push method: doing this work at the right point in the Garden City season is worth more than doing it more often at the wrong one. Steins routes off Floating Feather, so getting here is not a special trip.
Steins is on our regular Garden City route, not a special trip. We already work N Bogart Ln, W State St, N Tarako Ave and W Kerry St inside the subdivision. It routes off Floating Feather, which is how we keep travel out of the price. If you can tell us the nearest cross street we can usually 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.
Most Steins 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.

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.
