The comfort add-ons that make a screened patio usable from hot afternoons to cool evenings, planned with the screens.
A screen keeps the bugs out. Fans, lights and heaters keep you comfortable once you are in. A ceiling fan moves air across skin on a still night. A heater takes the chill off an October evening. Warm lighting makes the patio inviting after dark. Together with screens, they stretch a patio from a few months of use to most of the year.
We plan these extras along with the screens. We check ceiling height, framing and wiring for fans, keep heaters a safe distance from fabric and housings and choose lighting that glows warmly through the mesh without glare. Everything is coordinated with qualified electricians so wiring is neat and safe. We think about how the pieces work together. Fans should not blow so hard that they flap the screens, heaters should not sit under a roll of fabric and lights should not create hot spots on the mesh. We test each combination in the evening, when the effects are easiest to judge, and adjust positions until the room feels comfortable.
Outdoor-rated fans move air and help keep insects away. We confirm the framing can carry them and the screens do not interfere.
Infrared and radiant heaters warm people directly. Clearances from fabric and housings matter, and we plan them carefully.
Warm, dimmable lights make a patio feel welcoming. We aim fixtures to avoid glare through the mesh at night.
Fans, lights and heaters need circuits and switches. We coordinate wiring and control placement with the screen controls.

You tell us about the patio, the bugs or sun that bother you and the timeline, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the patio, feel the sun, check the beams and columns, show fabric samples and talk through the layout.
We measure every opening carefully, write a proposal and coordinate any association approvals or electrical permits.
Your screens are made to size, then housings, tracks and motors are mounted and wired.
We set limits, pair remotes and keypads, check the seals and test every screen through full cycles.
We show you every control, share care tips and leave you to enjoy your first evening outside.
Yes, if the framing supports it.
With proper clearances, yes. We plan them.
Warm lights glow softly. We aim them to limit glare.
Possibly. Qualified electricians check your panel.
Often yes. We coordinate controls where possible.
