Published September 26, 2026

All Articles

Once buyers see how much afternoon sun reaches the lanai, exterior screens quickly climb their wish list. Many also want a cleaner alternative to panels for storm season. Referring these requests to a specialist gives buyers a finished outdoor space without adding scope to your build.

What Exterior Screens Offer

  • Shade and glare control for lanais, patios and large openings.
  • Added privacy for outdoor living areas.
  • Hurricane screen options designed for storm protection.
  • Motorized operation that can be coordinated with smart-home systems.

Planning Around the Build

Some screen projects benefit from planning before the home is complete, such as coordinating power for motorized screens. Let us know the construction stage and closing timeframe when you submit a referral, and we will plan accordingly with the homeowner.
