If your The Lake at Cherry Lane windows still look hazy after a cleaning, it is almost certainly the screens. The subdivision sits in west Meridian between Black Cat and Ten Mile, just south of Ustick in 83646, and it is a staged build-out recorded 1984–2003 across 10 phases, which puts the oldest homes here well ahead of the newest. At roughly 134 acres it is one of the larger communities in the city. The Boise Project Board of Control supplies the pressurized irrigation on these lots.

Worth knowing first: The Lake at Cherry Lane is a staged build-out recorded 1984–2003 across 10 phases, which puts the oldest homes here well ahead of the newest (ZIP 83646, about 134 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. We see it most consistently on the homes along N Sea Cove Way.
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 The Lake at Cherry Lane.
On newer builds the common finds are mesh that was never seated properly in the spline channel, and builder-grade frames that racked out of square during installation. Both are cheap to fix and we will point them out. We do not charge for a screen we cannot clean. The Lake at Cherry Lane routes off Ustick, so getting here is not a special trip.
The Lake at Cherry Lane is on our regular Meridian route, not a special trip. We already work N Sea Cove Way, N Miranda Ave and W Harbor Point Dr 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.
Bundling with a window service saves a trip charge and gets the sequence right. We will tell you honestly if you do not need the second service yet — a bundle you do not need is not a saving.

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.
