Cooler Outdoor Spaces
Exterior shading blocks solar heat before it reaches your living space, reducing surface temperatures by up to 30 degrees and cutting cooling costs significantly. Your patio, pool deck, and covered areas stay comfortable even in peak summer.
Hurricane-Country Tough
Every product we install is rated for demanding weather conditions. Our retractable screens are wind-rated to 90+ MPH, awnings include automatic wind sensors, and all mounting hardware is marine-grade stainless steel or anodized aluminum.
Privacy & Bug Control

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can retractable screens handle severe storms?
Yes. Our motorized retractable screens are wind-rated to 90+ MPH and designed specifically for hurricane-prone regions. Built-in wind sensors automatically retract awnings in dangerous conditions, and our screen tracks are engineered to resist uplift forces. For ultimate protection, we also offer hurricane-rated screen options that meet Florida Building Code requirements.
What's the difference between retractable screens and shade sails?
Retractable screens are motorized systems that roll into a compact housing when not in use. They provide precise control, you can deploy them fully or partially as needed. Shade sails are fixed fabric panels that provide sun coverage but don't retract, don't block insects, and aren't wind-rated. In hurricane-prone regions, motorized screens offer far more versatility and weather protection.
How long does a typical residential installation take?
Most single-screen and awning installations are completed in one day. Larger projects with multiple screens, cabanas, or complex mounting requirements typically take two to three days. We handle all site preparation, structural mounting, electrical connections for motors, and programming of remote controls and home automation integration.
Can I integrate exterior shading with my smart home system?
Absolutely. Our motorized screens and awnings work with major smart home platforms including Somfy, Lutron, Control4, and Savant. Set schedules, create scenes, and control your shading from your phone or voice assistant. We can also add sun and wind sensors that trigger automatic deployment or retraction.
What kind of maintenance do exterior shading products need?
Very little. Retractable screens and awnings should be rinsed with fresh water periodically to remove salt air deposits, especially important near the coast. Fabric can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Motor mechanisms are sealed and maintenance-free. We recommend an annual inspection to check tension, alignment, and electrical connections, which we offer as part of our service plans.
