If your The Oaks North windows still look hazy after a cleaning, it is almost certainly the screens. The subdivision sits in northwest Meridian south of Chinden, between McDermott and Black Cat in 83646, and it is new ground: recorded 2020–2025 across 13 phases, with homes still going up. It covers about 226 acres, which is large enough that we route it as its own stop, and that scale is part of the quote. Sprinkler water comes off the Boise Project Board of Control's system, not the city main.

Start with the build stage — The Oaks North is new ground: recorded 2020–2025 across 13 phases, with homes still going up (ZIP 83646, about 226 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 the west-side farm ground along Black Cat and McDermott, which throws field dust east across these roofs every time it is disked or cut 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. Across roughly 226 acres it is remarkably consistent — The Oaks North is one job, not thirty different ones.
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. Being this close to Chinden means the road-facing elevation is always the one that needs the most attention.
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 Oaks North routes off Chinden, so getting here is not a special trip.
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.
We clean and reseat screens. We do not re-mesh or re-frame them. Where a screen is too brittle to survive being pulled we will show you before we touch it, 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.

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.
