Questions

Everything you wanted to ask.

Straight answers about motors, fabrics, wind, permits, cost, repair and scheduling for motorized patio screens.

FAQ

Getting started

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. The visit and the estimate are free and come with no obligation. You approve a written scope and price before any work begins.

What areas do you serve?

Nashville and communities across Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet and more. See the service areas page for the full list.

Do you work for homeowners, builders and businesses?

All three. We work for homeowners, builders, property managers and commercial owners such as restaurants and venues.

What does a motorized retractable screen do?

It rolls down from a slim housing to block bugs, glare or wind and rolls back up when you want an open view. A motor and remote make it effortless.

FAQ

Fabrics and weather

Which fabric should I choose?

Insect mesh stops bugs, solar weave cuts glare and heat, privacy cloth hides the patio and clear vinyl blocks wind and rain. Our fabric picker helps you compare.

How do screens handle wind?

Every system has a wind limit. Zip-track screens are steadier, and wind sensors can raise screens automatically. Raise screens when severe weather is forecast.

Will a screen keep out rain?

Mesh does not. Clear vinyl panels block wind-driven rain and keep the view.

FAQ

Motors and controls

How do I control the screens?

With a handheld remote, a wall switch or keypad, a phone app, a voice assistant or sensors. We set up what suits your household.

What happens in a power outage?

Most systems have a hand crank backup or a battery option, and we show you how to use it.

Can screens run on solar power?

Yes. A battery motor with a small solar panel works well where wiring is difficult.

FAQ

Planning, permits and cost

Do I need HOA approval or a permit?

Often for associations, and sometimes for new electrical work. We prepare drawings and samples and help with the process.

How do I compare patio screen quotes?

Compare written scopes: sizes, fabric, motors, controls, mounting, electrical and installation. Our cost guide explains what drives the price.

Can I do one opening at a time?

Yes. Many owners start with the buggiest or sunniest side and add more later.

FAQ

Repair and care

Can you repair screens you did not install?

Often yes. We inspect first and tell you what is possible.

How often should screens be serviced?

Once a year is a good habit, and after major storms. Our tune-up covers cleaning, adjustment and testing.

How do I clean the fabric?

Rinse with a hose and brush gently with mild soap. Avoid pressure washing.
