Transform your porch, patio, or deck into a functional living space with custom exterior screens designed for Nashville homes and businesses. Tim and our team provide professional installation of motorized retractable screens and fixed screen systems that keep bugs out but allow fresh air to flow through your outdoor areas, creating a better outdoor experience for your family year round.
Nashville’s warm, humid summers and pleasant spring and fall evenings make outdoor living irresistible. Mosquitoes and other insects, however, can quickly turn your patio or screened in porch into an unusable space. Exterior screens enclose outdoor areas so you can enjoy fresh air without dealing with bugs, pests, unwanted heat from direct sunlight, or harsh elements that affect your comfort.
Homeowners use exterior screens to reclaim their outdoor spaces during warmer months. With motorized retractable screens, you control airflow and access at the touch of a button for dining, entertaining, or relaxing. Fixed screens offer permanent protection for screen rooms and covered patios, while retractable options give you unobstructed views and shade control when desired.
Key Benefits:
Keeps mosquitoes and insects out while fresh air circulates freely
Creates additional functional living space enhancing property beauty during warm months
Motorized operation for convenient remote control and unobstructed views when retracted
Nashville properties benefit from exterior screens that maximize outdoor enjoyment during summer months. Garage door screen systems offer a unique application, offering improved ventilation, no bugs, and maintained access. We also install screens for sunroom additions, pergolas, and three-season rooms, creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Commercial properties find exterior screens equally valuable. Restaurants can expand outdoor dining areas while protecting customers from insects and maintaining an open-air atmosphere. Contractors working on new construction projects rely on our team for custom screens designed to fit unique openings with precise measurements and specialized mounting.
Start by identifying which outdoor spaces you want to utilize more fully. Decide whether you need permanent enclosure or flexible access depending on weather and activity. We evaluate mounting options for your specific architectural openings and guide you through material choices. We show you different fabrics and mesh options so you understand how each performs in Middle Tennessee’s climate.
Consider:
Screen Type: Motorized retractable screens for flexible control and unobstructed views when not needed, or fixed screens for permanent enclosure of screen porches and covered areas where you want consistent protection throughout the year
Material: Fiberglass mesh for standard insect protection, aluminum screening for enhanced durability in high-traffic areas, or solar screen mesh that blocks insects while reducing heat and glare from intense sunlight
Operation: Motorized systems with remote control for convenience and smart home integration, manual retractable screens with spring-loaded operation requiring no electrical connection, or traditional fixed frames for straightforward installation and reliable performance

We install motorized screens, manual systems, and fixed screen systems for residential and commercial applications throughout Nashville and Davidson County. Motorized retractable screens operate with remote or wall switch control, extending and retracting at the touch of a button. Manual retractable screens use spring-loaded mechanisms and require no electrical connection. Fixed screens provide permanent enclosure for screen porches, covered patios, and three-season rooms. We also specialize in garage door screens that transform garages into functional workshops, entertaining areas, or climate-controlled storage access points, creating versatile space for your family.
Motorized retractable screens mount in tracks attached to your porch posts, patio structure, or architectural opening. You activate the screen using a remote control, wall switch, or smart home system for maximum convenience. When engaged, a quiet motor extends the screen mesh from a top housing unit. The screen travels down in side tracks that maintain tension and create a fully enclosed space protecting you from bugs and elements. When you retract the screen, it rolls back into the housing and disappears completely. Track-guided systems handle winds better than unguided screens and provide years of reliable operation with minimal maintenance requirements.
Nashville’s humid summers, occasional rain, and moderate winds are well within the capabilities of quality exterior screens we install. Track-guided retractable systems remain secure during typical summer breezes and light rain. We recommend retracting motorized screens during severe storms or high winds to protect the mechanism and mesh from damage. Screen mesh materials and fabrics resist moisture and dry quickly after rain exposure. Fixed screens with proper frames and quality mesh materials provide years of service in Tennessee weather. During your in home consultation, we assess your property’s wind exposure and recommend appropriate screen types and mounting methods based on your specific location and needs.
Yes, motorized exterior screens integrate with popular smart home platforms for enhanced convenience and control throughout your house. You can operate screens through smartphone apps or voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Home. Program your screens to extend or retract automatically based on schedules or environmental conditions. For example, set screens to extend each evening when mosquito activity increases and retract each morning for open views. Smart integration allows you to control multiple screens simultaneously across different locations on your property, creating the perfect outdoor environment with minimal effort while managing sun exposure and shade.
Retractable screens disappear into a housing when not in use, giving you flexibility to open or enclose your outdoor space based on weather, activity, and preference. Retractable screens work well for decks, patios, and garage openings where you want insect protection sometimes but need full access other times. Fixed screens provide permanent enclosure using traditional frames mounted to porch posts or structural openings. Fixed screens work well for screen rooms, covered porches, and sunrooms where you want consistent bug protection. Retractable systems cost more due to the mechanism and installation complexity, while fixed screens offer a more budget-friendly solution that still delivers excellent job performance.
Yes, we specialize in garage door screen installations that transform your garage into usable living space during pleasant weather. Motorized retractable screens extend from the header and create an enclosed area that keeps bugs and insects out while allowing fresh air and natural sunlight. Use your screened garage as a workshop, home gym, entertaining area, or simply for better ventilation during projects. The screens retract completely when you need vehicle access through the door, giving you flexibility to maximize your property’s functional space throughout the year while creating additional room for various activities.
Yes, we install retractable awnings and motorized shades as part of our comprehensive outdoor solutions for Nashville homes and businesses. Retractable awnings provide adjustable shade for patios and decks, extending when you need sun protection and retracting for open sky views. Motorized shades offer similar convenience for windows and outdoor areas, controlling heat and glare while maintaining visibility. Our team takes pride in delivering top notch installation services across all these products. During your consultation, we discuss which combination of screens, awnings, and shades works best for your specific outdoor space and style preferences.
Installation time depends on the number of openings, screen type, and mounting complexity for your specific project. A single motorized retractable screen typically takes three to five hours, including electrical connection and programming. Installing multiple screens or completing a full screen porch enclosure may require one day or more. We provide accurate timelines during your free consultation after measuring your space and discussing your specific requirements. Our professional installers work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring proper mounting, smooth operation, and your complete satisfaction with the finished installation, maintaining our reputation for quality service.
