Motorized Patio Screens in Dallas, TX

Dallas covers about a century of housing in one city, and the opening decides the screen far more than the address does. A 1920s Tudor with a small covered porch, a 1960s ranch with a low patio roof and a new build with a twenty-foot outdoor kitchen are three different jobs. What they share is orientation: anything facing west or south-west takes a load from about two o'clock that no amount of ceiling fan fixes.

A Century of Housing, One Problem

Dallas holds about a hundred years of building stock inside one city limit, and the opening decides the screen far more than the address does. A 1920s Tudor with a narrow side porch, a 1960s ranch with a shallow patio roof, and a 2015 build with a twenty-foot outdoor kitchen are three genuinely different jobs with three different answers.

Orientation Beats Everything

What they share is the sun. Anything facing west or south-west takes a radiant load from around two o'clock that comes in sideways under the roof, which is why ceiling fans do not help - they move air, not radiation. That is the case solar mesh exists for, while north-facing openings are usually a mosquito problem and point at insect mesh instead.

What We Fit Across the City

Rear patio screens are the bulk of it, with porch work on the older housing stock and garage screens where the garage doubles as workshop space. Freestanding structures take pergola mounts, larger rear elevations raise span questions, and existing systems come to us for repair or control upgrades.

Every quote starts with a free on-site measure, because a screen is built to the number taken that day.

Dallas Screen FAQs

Which way does my patio need to face for this to be worth it?
West and south-west facing openings benefit most, because they take the direct afternoon load. North-facing patios are usually an insect problem rather than a heat one, which points to a different mesh rather than no screen.
Do I need permission from the city?
A retractable screen on an existing covered structure is generally not a structural alteration, but requirements vary and any HOA or architectural committee is a separate question. We will flag anything we think needs checking at the measure.
Can you screen an older house without it looking wrong?
Usually. The housing can be recessed into the fascia or surface mounted and colour matched. On older housing stock that detail is most of the job, and it is worth spending time on at the measure.
