Retractable Screens South Jordan

Retractable Screens Built for South Jordan's West-Side Sun

South Jordan sits on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, which means many homes take the full force of the afternoon sun as it drops toward the Oquirrh Mountains. We install Mirage retractable screens that let you open your doors to the evening breeze, keep bugs out, and roll away out of sight when you don't need them.

Whether you live in a newer build in Daybreak or an established neighborhood closer to the Jordan River Parkway, our team fits each screen to your exact door so it looks like it came with the house.

Mirage Retractable Screen Doors We Install

We work with Mirage Screen Systems because their retractable screens hold up to Utah conditions and glide smoothly for years. Every opening gets the product that suits it best:

Mirage 1750 retractable screen doors for single entry doors, French doors, and sliding patio doors
Mirage 3500 large-opening screens for wide patio openings and multi-panel sliders
Mirage 4500 motorized screens for big patio spans and garage doors, operated at the push of a button
Mirage window screens for a clean, matching look across the house

You can compare the full lineup on our retractable screens product page before we visit.

Why Utah Weather Calls for a Better Screen

A standard screen door takes a beating along the Wasatch Front. Intense high-altitude UV fades and weakens cheap mesh, the dry desert air makes frames brittle, and gusty winds coming across the open west side of the valley can bend or rip a fixed screen.

A retractable screen spends most of its life rolled up inside a protective housing, so the mesh is shielded from sun and wind when it's not in use. That is a big reason these screens last longer here than the slide-in kind most South Jordan homes come with.

Mesh stays protected from UV when retracted
Sealed housings keep out fine dust and grit
Smooth guide tracks handle seasonal temperature swings

Precision Measuring and Careful Installation

A retractable screen only works well when it is measured and mounted correctly. Doors in newer South Jordan subdivisions are rarely perfectly square, and a small gap is all a wasp needs.

We take precise measurements of every opening, check for out-of-square frames, and install with trim and color choices that match your door. Before we leave, we walk you through how the screen opens, latches, and retracts, so you know exactly how to use it.

Options for Pets, Kids, and Busy Patios

Many families in South Jordan want fresh air without pets pushing through the screen. Mirage offers TuffScreen pet-resistant polyester mesh, which stands up to paws and noses far better than standard fiberglass. We can also recommend the right latch and handle height for households with small children.

If you entertain on the patio most summer evenings, a large-opening or motorized screen turns a wide slider into an open-air room that stays bug-free after dark.

Why Homeowners Choose a Screen Specialist

A general handyman can hang a screen, but retractable systems have tension springs, guide tracks, and brake mechanisms that need to be set up correctly. Screens and shading are all we do, so we know how each Mirage model behaves in our climate and how to install it so it keeps rolling smoothly.

Many of our South Jordan customers also add shade to the same patio. If your back of house faces west, our awnings in South Jordan pair well with a retractable screen to cut the late-day heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do retractable screens cost in South Jordan?

Pricing depends on the size of the opening, the Mirage model, whether you choose manual or motorized operation, and your mesh and color options. We give you a clear quote after measuring your doors.

Will a retractable screen hold up to canyon and valley winds?

Mirage screens run in guide tracks that keep the mesh in place, and when the wind picks up you can simply retract the screen into its housing. That protection is one reason they outlast fixed screens in Utah.

Can you install a retractable screen on French doors or a large slider?

Yes. We install Mirage 1750 screens on French doors and standard sliders, and the Mirage 3500 or 4500 for wide patio openings that a normal screen door cannot cover.

Do retractable screens work with pets?

They do. We recommend TuffScreen pet-resistant mesh for homes with dogs or cats, since it resists tearing much better than standard fiberglass mesh.
