Our team has earned 605 five-star reviews.
You built the patio. You bought the furniture. But come late afternoon, the low sun blasts straight under your cover, the heat radiates off the concrete, and by evening the bugs arrive like they got an invitation. Sound familiar?
Motorized screens solve all three at once. Mounted discreetly under your patio cover, pergola, or eave, they drop down at the touch of a button to block sun, heat, glare, and insects, then retract completely out of sight when you want your open view back. It’s the closest thing to having walls you can summon and dismiss on demand.
“Great service, easy communication from start to finish and product is wonderful”
The mesh is the magic: high-performance screen fabric that cuts UV and heat dramatically while preserving your outward view. From inside, it’s like putting on good sunglasses, everything is still visible, just comfortable. From outside during the day, it adds real privacy. And with storm rails (side tracks) locking the fabric in place, there’s no flapping or billowing when the afternoon wind picks up.
We power every system with Somfy motors, quiet, dependable, and controllable by remote, wall switch, or your phone. Run each screen independently or drop them all together. Add sun and wind sensors and the system can adjust itself: lowering for shade when the sun hits, retracting for protection when the wind rises.
Motorized screens pair beautifully with our retractable awnings and patio covers, many of our customers combine a cover overhead with screens on the sides for a fully enclosed-feeling outdoor room. During your free estimate we’ll measure, show you mesh samples, and give you a clear written quote. And with financing options(flexible financing options for qualified buyers), the premium setup doesn’t have to wait.
Two local pages worth your time if you’re shopping: motorized screens in Orange County, where we cover coastal salt-air specs, strict Irvine and Newport HOAs, and canyon heat, and San Diego patio shades and screens, our guide to coastal exposure, west-facing glass, and the screen-vs-fixed-shade decision.
Run a shade, patio, or outdoor-living business? Our motorized screens wholesale program supplies dealers and contractors with the same American-made systems, freight coordination, and factory service support we stand behind on every install.

Sun and wind sensors, schedules, and scenes, the patio that runs itself.
Motorization
A motor is the heart of any motorized screen or awning, and not all motors are equal. Here's who builds ours, and why it matters.
The motors inside your screens & awnings
Born in Cluses, France in 1969, the global leader in motors and controls for window coverings, with over 100 million motors sold worldwide.
Why we're particular about motors: Every Somfy motor is tested and inspected at the factory before it ever reaches your home, the brand's own standard for long-term reliability. It's the biggest reason we chose Somfy to power our systems.
Learn About Somfy MotorsOfficial manufacturer site, opens in a new tab
When your installer quotes Somfy, you’re getting the motors the rest of the industry is measured against. During your free estimate, we’ll show you exactly how the remote, app, and sensors work together, so day-to-day use stays practically effortless.
Storm engineering
Santa Ana gusts, desert dust, coastal salt, every screen we install is specified for real conditions and stated in writing on your estimate.
The industry-standard tubular motor, rated for daily cycling and the full temperature swing, quiet, reliable, and serviceable for the long haul.
The screen edge locks into the side track on a zipper, tensioned on all four sides so gusts can’t billow, flap, or pull it free.
The sensor watches your exposure and retracts the screens automatically when gusts build, protection that works whether you are home or not.
Every motorized power screen we install carries our 15-year warranty, the engineering above is what lets us stand behind it in writing.
