Closing the small gaps around screens, beams and doors so tiny insects do not find a way in.
A screen can be perfect and still let bugs in if the edges are loose. Gnats and no-see-ums slip through gaps you can barely see: at the corners, under the bottom bar, between the housing and the beam, around posts and beside doors. Sealing those weak points is what makes a screened patio actually bug-free.
We inspect the whole patio, test for gaps with light and a careful eye and fix them with brush seals, gaskets, trim pieces and sealant that suit each location. We also suggest simple habits, such as closing doors quickly and turning off bright lights near entries, that keep insects from collecting on the screen in the first place. The best test is done at dusk with the porch light on, because that is when insects show you exactly where they are trying to get in. We walk the patio together with a flashlight, mark any gaps, fix them on the spot and recheck. The result is a patio that is bug-free in practice, not just in theory.
Tops of housings, corners of tracks, bottoms of screens, gaps beside doors and the junction with the house are common weak spots.
Brush seals, weatherstrip and gaskets close small gaps while letting the screen move freely.
The bottom bar needs to meet the floor without scraping. Small adjustments and seals reduce gaps without binding.
Standing water, bright lights and open doors all attract insects. We suggest simple habits to reduce them.

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.
Small gaps at corners, bars and doors are the usual cause.
No, brush seals allow smooth movement.
Often yes. Seals can be added to many systems.
Bright white lights do. Warm, dim lights attract fewer.
Yes. Mosquitoes breed in it, so keep it cleared away.
