What motorized power screens do for a home

They are the closest thing to a magic trick in outdoor living. At the touch of a button, or on a schedule, or by voice through the smart home, screens descend from a slim cassette and turn a patio, pergola, porch, or garage opening into a comfortable outdoor room: cooler, darker, bug-free, and private. Then they retract and disappear.

The problems they solve are universal, which is why they sell in every climate: afternoon sun that makes the patio unusable, mosquitoes that end the evening early, glare on the TV in the outdoor living room, and the fishbowl feeling of a patio the whole street can see. One product, every one of those problems, one remote.

For homeowners nationwide, the pitch is simple: the most dramatic upgrade you can make to how your home lives outdoors, custom-built for your exact openings, installed by a local professional.

Built for your climate, wherever that is

Arizona sun, Florida storms, Texas heat, Carolina pollen, mountain-town evenings that turn cold at dusk, power screens earn their keep differently in every region, and they earn it in all of them. The fabrics are solution-dyed for fade resistance under brutal sun; the cassettes and hardware are engineered for real weather; and when a storm rolls in, the screens retract out of harm's way instead of taking the hit.

Because every unit is custom-built to your measurements, the fit is exact: no gaps for bugs, no sagging spans, no “close enough.” Your local installing contractor measures to our standards, we build to those numbers, and the result looks like it was designed with the house, because it was.

Automation completes the package: wind sensors, smart-home integration, and scheduling that drops the west-facing screens before the afternoon sun arrives. Set it once and forget it, the patio manages itself.

How nationwide delivery and installation works

It starts with a conversation about your project: your openings, your goals, your city. Text (909) 325-3110 or contact us online. We will talk through which configurations fit, patio, pergola, porch, garage, or window walls, and what the measurements involve.

Your screens are custom-built to the final measurements taken by your trusted local contractor, then shipped and installed to our standards. You deal with one accountable local professional for the installation, backed by the manufacturer for the product itself.

The 15-year warranty covers frames, hardware, motors, and fabric systems wherever in the country your screens are installed. Questions about operation or service go to the same product team that supports every installation, because a warranty is only as good as the company behind it.

Why dealers love selling them, and why you will love owning them

Ask any of our dealers what their highest-referral product is and most will name the power screens. Every installation is visible from the street, every neighbor asks about it, and every one of those conversations starts with “who did yours?” For homeowners, that means you bought the product everyone wants; for contractors, it means the product sells the next job.

If you are a contractor reading this from outside Southern California, that referral engine is available to you as a dealer: manufacturer-direct wholesale, the American-made story, the 15-year warranty close, and a territory you can build on. The nationwide program runs on local partners, become one.

Beyond the patio: garages, windows, and commercial

Power screens are not only a patio product. Garage openings get screens that keep the workshop cool and bug-free while the big door stays open. Tall window walls get solar screens that cut glare and heat without killing the view. Restaurants and wineries get screens that turn a seasonal patio into a year-round revenue space, the commercial use case is one of the fastest-growing parts of the line.

The engineering scales to the opening: wider spans get the structural support they need, taller drops get the weighting that keeps the fabric true, and every configuration retracts into the same slim cassette. Whatever the opening, the promise is the same, comfort on demand, invisible when you do not want it, custom-built for the exact space.

Dealer questions, answered

How much do motorized power screens cost?
Every project is custom, openings, configurations, fabrics, and options all change the scope, so we quote per project, not per catalog. Text (909) 325-3110 or contact us with your openings and your city for a straight answer about your project.
Can screens really keep bugs out?
Yes, that is one of their primary jobs. A properly measured and installed screen seals the opening edge to edge, turning a patio or porch into a bug-free zone on demand, then retracts when you want the open air back.
Do they work in high-wind areas?
They are engineered for real weather, and the retractable design is the ultimate storm strategy: when severe weather approaches, the screens retract into their cassettes instead of taking the hit. Wind sensors can automate the response.
Will they darken my patio too much?
You choose the fabric openness with real swatches before anything is built, from solar shades that cut glare while preserving the view to denser weaves for maximum privacy and cooling. Your local contractor will guide the selection for your orientation and goals.
Who services them if something goes wrong years from now?
The 15-year warranty (frames, hardware, motors, fabric systems) is backed by the manufacturer, and service is coordinated through your local installing contractor with our parts and technical support behind them.
How do I get started from outside Southern California?
Text (909) 325-3110 or use our contact page. Tell us about your openings and your city, we will talk fit, configuration, and how installation works in your area.
What should I measure before ordering screens nationwide?
Three things get the process started: the width and height of each opening, the mounting surface (wall, eave, post, or existing structure), and where power will come from, most screens need a standard outlet or a wired connection nearby, and your local contractor confirms the final plan. Clear photos of each opening from straight-on and at an angle help enormously, especially for recessed or unusual mounts. You do not need engineering precision on day one; the trusted local contractor who installs your screens verifies every measurement before anything is built. Every unit is custom-made to the verified dimensions, so unusual openings, extra-wide spans, and multi-panel runs are all routine. Start with photos and rough numbers, precision comes with the professional verification step.
What is the difference between power screens and regular window screens?
Everything about the job they do. Regular screens are fixed insect barriers; motorized power screens are retractable shade systems that drop at the touch of a button to block heat, glare, and insects, then disappear into a slim housing when you want the view back. Zip-track models seal on all four sides against wind and bugs. They mount outside the glass, which means they stop the sun before it enters, the most effective possible position for heat control.
How does nationwide power-screen installation work?
You send measurements and photos, we engineer the system to your openings and build it to order, and a trusted local contractor in your area installs it to our specification. AJ Shades’ own installation teams cover Southern California; the nationwide network covers everywhere else. Every system carries our 15-year warranty, and our team supports the local installer on any technical question during the job.
How much heat can power screens really block?
They are the single most effective retrofit for sun-driven heat, because they intercept the sun outside the glass instead of fighting it inside. Exterior shading stops solar heat before it enters the building envelope, physics no interior blind can match. Customers consistently report rooms that were unusable at 3 PM becoming comfortable, and the AC running noticeably less. For west-facing glass in hot climates, power screens are not an accessory; they are the fix.
Will power screens darken my rooms or block the view?
That is the fear, and the fabrics answer it. Solar screen fabrics are engineered to cut glare and heat while preserving outward visibility, you see out clearly, the harshness stays outside. And because they retract, the equation is reversible: screens down when the sun is punishing, screens up when you want the full view and breeze. Fixed tint and interior shades cannot do that. The demonstration, looking through the fabric at noon, is what converts skeptics.
