What to Expect When Installing Motorized Patio Screens

A walk through a typical patio screen project from the first call to the final walk-through, so there are no surprises.

The first call and visit

We ask about your patio and your goals, then visit to see the openings, the sun and the structure. You get honest feedback and fabric samples to hold up in your light.

We take photos and rough measurements.

Measuring and the proposal

We measure each opening carefully and write a proposal with sizes, fabric, controls and everything included. We review it with you.

Nothing starts until you are comfortable.

Approvals and ordering

If your association or city needs approval, we prepare drawings and help with submissions. Once approved, screens are ordered and built to your sizes.

We keep you updated on timing.

Installation day

We mount housings and tracks, hang the screens, set up motors and run wiring. Installation of a typical patio often takes a day or two.

We protect floors and furniture as we go.

Programming and testing

We set top and bottom limits, pair remotes and keypads and test every screen through full cycles. We adjust until movement is smooth.

We also check seals at dusk when possible.

Walk-through and care

We show you every control, give you care tips and leave a contact number. Questions are answered before we leave.

We follow up after your first few weeks of use.

Our advice in one sentence

Expect a visit, careful measuring, a written proposal, an installation day or two and a walk-through that teaches you every control.

Questions

Quick answers.

How long does the whole project take?

Measuring to installation usually takes a few weeks, because screens are made to order.

Will I need to be there?

For the visit and the walk-through, yes.

Will there be mess?

We protect the area and clean up thoroughly.
