Valor and Trilogy at Valor are Kuna's newest build wave, with black-framed vinyl and clad windows, oversized sliding patio doors and glassed-in covered patios on single-level portico-entry homes. Dark frames and big sliders change what screen cleaning involves here.
Mineral dust is pale, so it shows by contrast, and against a black screen frame a light film is stark where on white it would be nearly invisible. The same is true of the mesh itself: dust sitting in a dark-framed screen reads as a visible grey haze far sooner than it would in a white-framed unit. Trilogy at Valor owners therefore notice their screens earlier than owners of identical screens in white frames, which is worth knowing before assuming something is unusually wrong.
A patio slider screen is the largest screen on most houses, and on these plans the sliders are oversized, which makes the screen panel big, heavy and easy to rack out of square if it is lifted wrong. A racked slider screen never runs properly again without adjustment. They also run in a bottom track that fills with debris, which is what makes a slider screen stick, and clearing that track is part of doing the job rather than a separate favour.
On a single-level home there are no upper-floor screens sitting above the spray, so every screen on the house is within reach of sprinkler overspray. Untreated Boise-Kuna canal water carrying suspended silt and dissolved mineral passes into the mesh and cements accumulated dust in place as it dries. That produces uniform loading across the whole house rather than a dirty-low, clean-high pattern, which makes whole-house screen cleaning the sensible purchase.
The glassed-in covered patios on these plans often have their own operable panels and screens, and they are easy to leave out of a count because they read as part of the structure rather than as windows. Mention yours when you book so they are included. Screen cleaning is +$50 added to a window clean, and both memberships include one free screen clean a year.

Partly contrast. Mineral dust is pale, so against a black frame and in a dark-framed screen a light film reads as a visible grey haze far sooner than it would in a white-framed unit. Your screens may be no dirtier than a neighbour's white ones.
Usually yes, and it is generally the track rather than the screen. A slider screen runs in a bottom track that fills with debris, and clearing that track is part of the job. If the panel has been racked out of square by being lifted wrong, that needs adjusting rather than cleaning.
They need care. A large slider screen panel is heavy and easy to rack out of square if lifted wrong, and a racked panel never runs properly again without adjustment. That is a reason to have it handled rather than wrestling it out yourself.
Largely yes, and that is distinctive. With no upper floor there are no screens sitting above the spray, so every screen is within sprinkler reach and the loading is uniform rather than dirty-low and clean-high. Whole-house cleaning is the sensible purchase.
Yes, and they are easy to miss because they read as part of the structure rather than as windows. Mention yours when you book so they are in the count. Screen cleaning is +$50 with a window clean and membership includes one free clean a year.
