You paid for a patio. Houston won't let you use it.
Afternoon sun turns it into an oven
West-facing patios can be unbearable for half the year, and the glare washes out your outdoor TV.
Mosquitoes run you inside by sunset
The best time of day to be outside is exactly when the bugs come out.
Wind and rain blow straight in
Sideways storms soak furniture and cushions, even under a covered patio.
Screens that seal your patio, then vanish.
Our motorized screens roll down from a slim housing and lock into side tracks, sealing out sun, bugs and wind. Push a button and they roll back up out of sight, so you never lose your view.

Straight answers
How much do motorized patio screens cost?
It depends on the size and number of openings, the fabric, and the controls you choose. We give you an exact written price after measuring at your free consultation, so there's no guessing.
Will the screens really keep mosquitoes out?
Yes. The fabric edges lock into side tracks and the bottom bar seals against the floor, so there are no gaps for bugs to get through when the screens are down.
Can I still see out with the screens down?
Yes. Insect and solar fabrics are designed so you can see out clearly while they cut heat and glare. Privacy fabrics are denser, so neighbors can't easily see in.
How long does installation take?
Your screens are custom-made after measuring, then most installs are completed in a single day. We'll give you a timeline at your consultation.
Do I need power near my patio?
Most screens can run from a nearby outdoor outlet. If your patio needs new wiring, we'll tell you upfront and coordinate it with a licensed electrician.
What happens in high wind?
The screens are designed to handle normal Texas wind when closed. For severe storms we'll show you how to raise them, and we'll explain the wind rating of the system you choose.
Do the screens come with a warranty?
Yes. Screens come with manufacturer warranties on the hardware, fabric and motor, and we'll walk you through exactly what's covered for the system you pick.
Do you work with HOAs?
Yes. We can provide product details, colors and specs for your HOA approval request.
