Garage Screens an Affordable Solution to Expand Your Livable Area

If you are like the millions of homeowners who want more home recreation space but can not afford to hire a construction crew to add on to your existing home, then you are in luck. By removing your garage door and adding garage screens, you can create a whole new dimension in your existing home by turning your garage in to a brand new open and airy living space. Too, just imagine the look on your neighbor’s faces as you transform your (probably) identical tract house in to a home that is completely unique and reflective of your individual nature.

Not only will you be able to expand the livable area of your home by adding garage screens, but with all the options and features that are available to choose from, you will be significantly enhancing your home’s beauty - and by default, its value - by this simple garage conversion. You will also save money with this easy and distinctive make over as you will be eliminating the need for a contractor as well as a home construction crew.

Too, one of the most amazing features of adding garage screens to your home is that you can go from stuffy, enclosed garage to a brand new bright and airy recreation room - or patio - in a few short hours versus the days and weeks it would take to build a brand new addition to your home. Just think of the possibilities: this garage remodel can make it possible for you to have that space for an indoor/outdoor hot tub; a place to add a pool table or air hockey table; or a place to quietly relax in some comfortable patio furniture and enjoy the peaceful sounds of summer - all without the worry of being bothered by dirt and bugs.

Also, the unique features of garage screens make it so your options are unlimited. You can have your installed screens be retractable so you have easy access to the outdoors where your old garage door used to be, or you can choose screens that are skin friendly because they will block the harmful rays of the sun. Whatever you desire, you can turn your tired old garage in to an exceptional and customized living area.

Retractable Screens: Custom Is All We Do

We know that a customer’s design and specification needs for retractable screens are wide and diverse. That is why all of our retractable screen doors, retractable window screens, and garage door screens are custom built to your exact specifications. Our quality custom work is what has made us a leader in the industry.

We recently had the opportunity to work with one of our distinguished dealers to develop several custom retractable porch screens for a home that was a part of a prestigious Parade of Homes showcase. In an article featured in The Journal Gazette, the homeowner commented about what a wonderful feature it was to have the automated retractable screens linked into his computerized system that controls the landscape lighting and other aspects of his home.

Because custom work is all that we do, we are not confined to only providing our four core products. We have the dynamic ability to design, prototype, and manufacture new retractable screen products for specialized projects.

Garage screens provide a space of comfort and relaxation

We live in Florida, and one of the most common things in our area is using our garage to sit and enjoy the day under shelter.  We also like to air out our garage from time to time without having to worry about attracting bugs.  We found a way to accomplish both of these things by installing a screen on our garage.  It pays to research garage screens as not all manufacturers are alike.  We prefer the durability and reliability of the Stoett manufacturer.  We have been buying the Stoett brand of screens for our doors and windows for years, and now we bought one for our garage.  Except nothing but the best.

Add a retractable screen to your next remodeling project.

My husband and I are in the process of remodeling.  We have completed most of the basic remodeling.  Our bedroom has sliding glass doors with a nice deck just outside so we can sit and drink our morning coffee and catch the beautiful morning air.  Sometimes we like to leave our door open during nice weather, but we had no screen on the door.  We needed a screen for the side we open on these nice days.  Stoett has the best, most durable screens available on the market today.  That is why we chose the Stoett retractable screen for our sliding glass door.  We plan on buying more screens for our other exterior doors next.
