Motorized Patio Screens in Richardson, TX

Richardson runs largely to 1960s and 70s single-storey ranch housing, and the patios came with it: low roof lines, shallow projections and openings that are wider than they are tall. That proportion changes the job. A short drop needs less motor and less fabric but the housing has less depth to hide in, so mounting detail and colour matching carry more weight than on a tall modern patio.

Wide and Shallow

Richardson runs largely to 1960s and 70s single-storey ranch housing, and the patios came with the houses: low roof lines, shallow projections, and openings that are considerably wider than they are tall. That proportion changes the job in a way people do not expect.

A short drop is actually easier - less fabric, a lighter roll, a smaller motor. The catch is that a low fascia gives the housing far less depth to hide in, so where it mounts becomes the decision that matters most.

Checking What Carries It

Patio covers from this era vary in how they were framed, and unlike the uniform builder covers further north you cannot assume from the decade. Establishing what will carry the housing is part of the measure rather than something taken on trust, and occasionally the answer is that a mount point needs reinforcing first.

What We Install Here

Shallow-drop patio screens are the standard job, with garage screening common on these lots and entry porches where the elevation suits it. Mesh skews solar on the west-facing rears. We also handle added structures, occasional wide spans, motor work and repairs.

Richardson Screen FAQs

The patio roof is low. Does that cause problems?
It changes the detailing rather than preventing the job. Less drop means a smaller fabric roll, but there is less room to conceal the housing, so where it mounts is the decision that matters.
These are older patios. Will the structure take it?
Usually, though 1960s and 70s covers vary in how they were built. Checking what carries the housing is part of the measure, not something we assume from the era.
Ours is wider than it is tall. Any issue?
That proportion is common here and is generally easy - wide and shallow is a comfortable shape for a retractable screen, and the shorter drop keeps the system simple.
