One of the biggest mistakes we see homeowners make is choosing the darkest privacy mesh possible without considering airflow and visibility from the inside out. The best mesh option relies on how you want your space to be used.
In Florida’s climate, corrosion-resistant hardware and powder-coated aluminum framing make a huge difference in long-term performance — especially near the coast. We offer impact-resistant hurricane screens for this exact reason!
We typically recommend a motorized garage screen for homeowners who use their garage as a gym, workshop, or entertainment space because they allow airflow while still helping keep bugs out.
Most homeowners we work with care more about comfort and usability than total blackout shade. That’s why balanced airflow and solar protection are usually the sweet spot.
For patios with strong afternoon sun exposure, we usually recommend solar mesh because it helps reduce glare and heat without making the space feel closed in. For homeowners who are looking to keep bugs out (especially the ones we can't see) we reccomend no-see-um screen.

Many homeowners contact us because they're tired of the heat, bugs, glare, or lack of privacy. While motorized screens solve those problems, the biggest benefit is how much more comfortable and functional your outdoor space becomes.
Our installers consistently recommend choosing your screen fabric based on how you plan to use the space. For larger openings, motorized screens are often the best option, giving you shade, privacy, and protection with the push of a button—then an open view whenever you want it.

Ready to create a cooler, more stylish outdoor living space? Lafferty Aluminum & Screening installs motorized screens in Brevard County that combine elegance with convenience.
Call 321-652-1078 today or request your free estimate online. Let’s design a custom solution that makes your patio the favorite room in your home.
We start by discussing how you want to use your garage or patio, whether that's as a gym, workshop, entertainment area, or more comfortable place to relax. We review the available screen and control options for your space.
Our team measures the opening on-site, evaluates the mounting area, and checks what preparation may be needed. The frame and guided-track system are planned around the opening for smooth operation and a close fit.
After the custom system is prepared, our installers fit the screen and test its operation. We'll walk you through the controls and any available integration features. The existing garage-screen page lists an estimated 3–6 week project lead time after signing and a typical 1–2 day installation; actual timing depends on the system, product availability, and scheduling, so confirm the current estimate with our team.
For west-facing garages that receive strong afternoon sun, our consultants often recommend solar mesh that balances glare reduction with airflow and visibility. For homes near wooded areas or water, a tighter insect mesh can help keep mosquitoes and no-see-ums out. Larger garage openings may call for a motor and track configuration selected for the opening's dimensions and expected daily use. Frame colors and finishes can also be chosen to complement your home's exterior.
The right choice depends on how you use the space, not just the size of the opening. Lafferty Aluminum & Screening serves homeowners across Brevard and Indian River Counties with custom motorized screen options for garages and patios.
Lafferty Aluminum & Screening installs custom motorized patio screens and retractable lanai screens for covered outdoor spaces across Brevard and Indian River Counties. These are the same type of convenient, motorized roll-down screen systems: lower them for shade, insect protection, or added privacy, then retract them into the overhead housing when you want an open view. Whether you call them retractable screens for a lanai, roll-down patio screens, or motorized patio screens, our team helps you select the right configuration for your home's openings.
Retractable lanai screens work especially well on covered lanais, screened outdoor dining areas, poolside patios, and outdoor kitchens with suitable mounting openings. They offer flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying fresh air without committing to a permanently closed-in space. A site assessment helps determine whether your lanai's columns, roof structure, and opening dimensions can support the system.
For a patio or lanai with strong afternoon sun, solar mesh helps reduce glare and heat while maintaining some airflow and outward visibility. Fine insect mesh is useful when mosquitoes and no-see-ums are the main concern. Privacy mesh can limit views into the space, although openness and visibility vary by fabric. We can review mesh colors, openness, and the trade-offs between shade, airflow, and privacy during your estimate.
We discuss how you use your patio or lanai, evaluate the mounting area, and take measurements for a custom-fit system. Screen fabric, track placement, housing, controls, and finish are selected to suit the opening and your priorities.
Once the custom system is ready, our team installs the tracks and retractable screen, checks screen tension and smooth movement, and demonstrates the controls. The existing motorized patio screen page estimates a 3–5 week lead time before installation, subject to product availability and scheduling; confirm the current timeline with Lafferty when requesting your quote.
Clean the mesh gently with mild soap and water as recommended for your system, inspect it for tears or loose parts, and follow the manufacturer's guidance for moving components. Avoid selecting the darkest mesh solely for privacy without considering airflow and visibility. In coastal Florida, suitable corrosion-resistant components and proper mounting matter. Screen products differ in weather performance, so do not treat a standard insect or solar screen as hurricane protection unless the specific installed system is rated for that purpose.
From Palm Bay and Melbourne to Viera, Sebastian, and Vero Beach, Lafferty helps homeowners make covered patios and lanais more comfortable with custom retractable screen systems.
