Motorized Screens and Shades

Roll-down screens and shades that block sun, bugs and wind at the touch of a button, mounted on a pergola or porch.

Sometimes a pergola needs walls. A motorized screen rolls down to block low sun, bugs or a stiff breeze, and rolls up out of the way when you want an open view. You get a flexible room that changes with the weather and the time of day.

We install motorized solar shades, insect screens and clear weather panels on pergolas, porches and patios. We measure openings carefully, choose fabrics and tracks, mount hardware to solid framing and install motors with remote, wall switch or app control. We explain wind limits and show you how to use the system. Screens only earn their cost when they are easy to use, so we spend time on controls. We discuss where switches belong, whether a remote or a phone app suits your household and how sensors should respond to wind and sun. We also check that the fabric rolls cleanly into its housing, that side tracks stay aligned and that you know how to lift the screens by hand if the power ever goes out.

Types of screens

Insect screens keep bugs out. Solar shades cut glare and heat. Clear panels block wind and rain while keeping the view.

Tracks and frames

Side tracks or cables keep fabric steady in wind. We install them straight and secure for smooth movement.

Motors and controls

Remote, wall switch and smart-home controls are all available. Sun and wind sensors can lower or raise screens automatically.

Wind limits

Every system has a wind limit. We explain it clearly and recommend rolling up the screens in storms.
