Screen mesh in Sunnybrook Farms holds far more canal silt than the glass beside it. The subdivision sits in central Meridian between Ten Mile and Linder, just south of Ustick in 83646, and it is a long build-out — the plats run 1978–1994 across 5 phases, so the housing stock spans a decade or more. At roughly 61 acres it is a mid-sized pocket, and that scale is part of the quote. The pressurized irrigation here is mapped to the Boise Project Board of Control.

Start with the build stage — Sunnybrook Farms is a long build-out — the plats run 1978–1994 across 5 phases, so the housing stock spans a decade or more (ZIP 83646, about 61 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 Sunnybrook Farms 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. It is the single most common thing we get called about in Sunnybrook Farms.
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 N Maxie Way or one of the streets off it, we are likely already working nearby.
Sunnybrook Farms is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work N Maxie Pl, N Leann Way and N Maxie Way inside the subdivision. It routes off Ustick, 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.
Most Sunnybrook Farms 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.
