Motorized Retractable Screens in Farmington Hills, MI

Q: Can motorized screens be installed on existing garage doors?

Yes. Motorized retractable screens are typically mounted on the exterior of the garage door opening, so they can often be added to existing single-car or double-car garages without interfering with the current garage door operation.

Q: How do I control the motorized screen?

Motorized retractable screens can be raised and lowered with a simple control, allowing the screen to open or close without manually handling the mesh. Tarnow Doors can explain available control options during the consultation.

Q: Are these screens durable enough for Michigan weather?

Motorized retractable screens are designed for regular seasonal use and retract into a protective housing when not in use. They provide airflow and insect protection, but should be retracted during severe weather, high winds, or conditions that could damage the screen.

Tarnow Doors installs motorized retractable screens for homeowners in Farmington Hills, Novi, West Bloomfield, and nearby Oakland County communities. These systems help turn garages, patios, and large openings into more comfortable spaces by adding airflow, shade, and insect protection with the push of a button.

Since 1966, our family-owned company has helped homeowners choose and install exterior door and screen systems that fit properly, operate smoothly, and hold up through Michigan’s changing seasons.

A motorized screen is not a one-size-fits-all product. The opening must be measured correctly, the housing must be mounted securely, and the screen must operate without binding against the garage door, trim, or surrounding structure. Tarnow Doors installs retractable screen systems with proper fit, alignment, and daily use in mind.

Common Questions About Motorized Screens

Tarnow Doors helps homeowners understand how motorized retractable screens work, where they can be installed, and what to expect from a professionally fitted screen system.

Can motorized screens be installed on existing garage doors?

Yes. Our systems are mounted on the exterior of your garage door opening, meaning they can be added to almost any existing single or double-car garage without interfering with your current door operation.

How do I control the motorized screen?

With a simple push of a button, the screen smoothly lowers or retracts. We can also discuss integration options to ensure your screen operation is as convenient as your standard garage door opener.

Are these screens durable enough for Michigan weather?

The Panorama series is built with high-quality components designed for Midwestern durability. While the screens provide excellent ventilation, they are also built to retract into a protective housing when not in use.

Related Door and Garage Services

Motorized retractable screens are one way to make your garage or entry space more comfortable, but they often work best as part of a larger exterior door system. Tarnow Doors can also help with residential garage doors, garage door opener repair and installation, and entry and storm door systems for homeowners looking to improve function, comfort, and curb appeal.
