Enjoy your outdoor space all year long with custom shade solutions: Motorized Screens & Retractable Awnings. Built to block sun and glare, lower your energy bills, shield your patio from wind and rain, and give you effortless shade control at the touch of a button.
From motorized screens to retractable awnings, our shade systems give you control over sun, privacy, airflow, and insect protection. Both solutions share a key feature: shade at the touch of a button.
Built for Florida homes, they're ideal for patios, decks, lanais, garages, and outdoor living spaces. Each system is custom-fit using durable, coastal-grade materials designed to withstand heat, humidity, and everyday use.
Whether you're blocking afternoon sun, keeping bugs out, or extending your outdoor living season, our awnings and screens make it easy to enjoy your space more often.

Motorized screens give you instant control over sun, privacy, airflow, and insect protection — all with the push of a button. Lower them to block harsh afternoon glare, keep bugs out during dinner on the lanai, or create a private, enclosed space in seconds. Raise them fully when you want an open, unobstructed view.
Each system is custom-built for your space using durable, coastal-grade materials designed to hold up against Florida's heat, humidity, and storms. Add wind sensors and app or remote control for a fully automated, hands-free experience — whether you're screening in a patio, lanai, garage, or outdoor kitchen.
Custom awnings extend your outdoor living space by blocking direct sun, reducing heat, and protecting your patio furniture from UV damage — all while keeping the space open and breathable. Choose retractable awnings for on-demand shade or fixed awnings for permanent coverage over patios, decks, windows, or storefronts.
Built with weather-resistant fabrics and hardware engineered for Florida's sun and humidity, our awnings are available in manual or fully motorized options, with remote and wind-sensor upgrades for effortless operation. It's an easy way to lower cooling costs and get more use out of your outdoor space, rain or shine.

For motorized screens, the biggest mistake we see is homeowners choosing the darkest privacy mesh possible without considering airflow and visibility from the inside out. For awnings, the biggest mistake is picking one based on price alone, without factoring in wind rating or how much sun exposure the space actually gets.
For motorized screens, corrosion-resistant hardware and powder-coated aluminum framing make a huge difference in long-term performance, which is why we offer impact-resistant hurricane screens. For awnings, solution-dyed acrylic fabric paired with a powder-coated aluminum frame holds up far better against Florida's sun, humidity, and salt air than budget materials.
We typically recommend a motorized system for homeowners using the space as a gym, workshop, or entertainment area, since it allows airflow while still keeping bugs out. For awnings, we typically recommend motorized over manual for larger openings or daily use, since it removes the hassle of hand-cranking every time the sun shifts.
For motorized screens, most homeowners care more about comfort and usability than total blackout shade, which is why balanced airflow and solar protection are usually the sweet spot. For awnings, most homeowners prioritize heat reduction and furniture protection over full sun blackout, which is why a mid-tone solar-rated fabric tends to be the best fit.
For motorized screens, we usually recommend solar mesh on patios with strong afternoon sun exposure, and no-see-um screen for homeowners focused on keeping out the bugs they can't see. For awnings, we usually recommend a motorized retractable system with solar-rated fabric so homeowners can open up on cooler days and retract for shade when the sun's at its worst.
