Retractable Screens Lehi, UT

Screens Built for Lehi Wind and Sun

Lehi sits right below the point of the mountain, where wind funnels through neighborhoods in a way it doesn't a few miles east. Pair that with high desert UV and dry summer air, and ordinary screens sag, fade, or tear after a couple of seasons. Retractable screens solve that by rolling into a slim housing when you aren't using them, so the mesh spends most of the year protected instead of baking in the sun.

How Our Retractable Screens Work

The screen lives in a low profile cassette mounted along the edge of your door or window opening. You pull it across when you want airflow and let it glide back out of sight when you don't.

We install Mirage screens because the hardware handles the Wasatch Front's temperature swings and the tracks stay clean in dusty, dry conditions.

Retractable Screen Doors for Newer Lehi Homes

A lot of Lehi's growth along the Silicon Slopes corridor has produced homes with oversized sliders and wide patio doors. Those are the openings where hinged screen doors tend to fail first, since a gust can catch the panel and strain the frame. Our retractable screens span wider spaces and disappear entirely when the weather turns. If you're shading a west-facing patio at the same time, patio shades in Lehi work well alongside a retractable door screen on the same wall.

Pet Screen and Replacement Door Screens

If you have a dog that leans on the screen or a cat that climbs, we can build the same retractable system with pet screen mesh, which is woven heavier and resists punctures. We also handle replacement door screens and screen door screen replacement on systems that are already installed, plus window screens throughout the house when the old mesh has gone brittle from UV.

Measured for Your Opening, Not Close Enough

Retractable fly screens only work when they sit square to the opening. We measure every door and window on site, account for the out of level thresholds that are common in newer construction, and build to those numbers. That precision is what keeps the screen tracking straight and sealing at the edges years later.

Why a Screen Specialist

Screens are what we do, alongside awnings and shades. A general handyman can hang a frame, but knowing which mesh holds up to Lehi's UV load, how to anchor a track in stucco versus fiber cement, and how a Mirage cassette should be tensioned comes from doing it every day across northern Utah County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a retractable screen hold up to the wind at the Point of the Mountain?

Yes, when it's installed correctly. The screen retracts into its housing when it isn't in use, which takes it out of the wind entirely, and the track system holds the mesh at both edges rather than letting it flap.

Can I get retractable screens on a large slider?

Wide openings are one of the best uses for them. We size the system to your specific opening, and for very wide sliders we can run a double screen that meets in the middle.

Do they work with pets?

We build them with pet screen mesh when you need it. It's heavier and more tightly woven than standard insect mesh, so it stands up to scratching and leaning much better.

Can you just replace the mesh in my existing screens?

Often, yes. Screen door screen replacement and window screen re-meshing are common requests here, especially after a few summers of UV exposure leave the old mesh brittle.

How much maintenance do they need?

Very little. Keeping the bottom track free of dust and grit is most of it, which matters more in our dry climate than in wetter parts of the country.
