Thunder Rock sits west of Ten Mile toward Black Cat on 0.12 to 0.13 acre lots, the tightest platting in Kuna. When a sprinkler head is a few feet from a window, the screen takes the water before the glass does.
On lots this tight the heads sit only feet from the openings, and a screen in front of a window intercepts that spray before the glass does. Untreated Boise-Kuna canal water carrying suspended silt and dissolved mineral passes into the mesh, and when it dries it cements whatever dust was already there into the weave. That makes Thunder Rock screens some of the most firmly loaded in Kuna, and it is why brushing or shaking accomplishes nothing here.
Lennar plans here run 1,217 to 1,874 square feet, genuinely small by current Kuna standards, so the screen count per house is low. That keeps the +$50 add-on good value relative to what it achieves, and it makes a more frequent rhythm practical. Screens that are cleaned before the mineral has built through several seasons come clean readily; screens left for years develop a bound layer that takes considerably more work to shift.
Homes on the outer rows back onto working ground toward Black Cat, and coarse agricultural soil is close to the aperture size of a standard insect screen, so it wedges into the weave rather than passing through. Combined with the sprinkler mineral binding it in place, that is a genuinely stubborn load. Interior-row homes get the mineral without much of the coarse soil and clean up more easily.
Each screen comes out of its opening, gets washed on both faces so trapped material is flushed out rather than driven onto the glass, gets rinsed with deionized water so nothing remains to attract the next round, and goes back in the opening it came from. Screen cleaning is +$50 with a window clean and both memberships include one free screen clean a year. We will also point out the sprinkler head causing the worst of it, free of charge.

Because on 0.12 acre lots the sprinkler heads sit only feet from the openings, so the screen intercepts untreated canal water before the glass does. When that water dries it cements the existing dust into the weave, which is why brushing or shaking accomplishes nothing.
Particularly here. Plans run 1,217 to 1,874 square feet so the screen count per house is low, which makes the +$50 add-on good value and a more frequent rhythm practical. Screens cleaned before mineral builds through several seasons come clean much more readily.
Yes, free of charge while we are on site. A head throwing directly at a window screen will keep loading it however often we clean, and a five-minute adjustment reduces the problem permanently. Telling you costs us the repeat work, which is rather the point.
Yes, on the outer rows. Coarse agricultural soil is close to the aperture size of a standard insect screen so it wedges in the weave, and the sprinkler mineral binds it there. Interior-row homes get the mineral without much coarse soil and clean up more easily.
+$50 added to a window clean, since the screens are out of the openings anyway. Both Monthly and Quarterly membership include one free screen clean each year.
