Screen mesh in Upland Park holds far more silt than the glass beside it. It sits in Boise between Orchard and Federal, just south of Overland in 83705, and it is one of the city's original subdivisions, recorded 1904–1905 on one plat. It covers about 158 acres, large enough that we route it as its own stop.

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 decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time 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 S Columbus St.
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. That holds across 83705 generally, not just on this plat.
The local variable here is decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time. It does not act alone — it lands on glass and siding still damp from irrigation and binds into the mineral film, which is why Upland Park properties go from clean to visibly dirty faster than owners expect. Upland Park routes off Overland, so getting here is not a special trip.
Upland Park is on our regular Boise route, not a special trip. We already work S Columbus St, W Judith Ln, S Butler St and W Nez Perce St inside the subdivision. It routes off Overland, which is how we keep travel out of the price. We schedule by area rather than first-come, which keeps drive time down and holds prices where they are.
This pairs naturally with a window service, and doing both on one visit is cheaper than two trips — setup and drive time are most of the fixed cost. It is also better work: there is an order these jobs should happen in, and doing them on separate days usually means doing one of them twice.

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.
