Serving Longboat Key, Florida
Hurricane Screens in Longboat Key
Motorized hurricane screens that protect Longboat Key bayfront lanais, terraces, and wide estate openings from storms — then disappear into a discreet housing, measured and installed by a local family-owned company.
Why hurricane screens make sense on Longboat Key
Longboat Key estates and condos are designed around the water — expansive terraces, bayfront lanais, and walls of glass that open to the Gulf and the bay. Those wide openings are the hardest part of a luxury home to protect, and hurricane screens close off an entire terrace in seconds, blocking wind-driven debris and rain while the interior stays sealed.
Discretion matters on Longboat Key, and that is where premium motorized screens excel: they retract fully into an architectural housing so nothing interrupts the view or the lines of the home. Screens use high-strength woven mesh rated for Florida wind loads. See our pricing policy for how we quote every job.
Estate-grade protection without giving up the view
What premium motorized hurricane screens deliver for Longboat Key estates and condos.
Protect expansive openings
Screens cover bayfront terraces, lanais, and wide glass walls that shutters cannot span — sealing the outdoor room in one pass.
Rated for barrier-island wind loads
We specify screens with Florida Product Approval and design pressures matched to Longboat Key’s high coastal exposure.
Everyday sun & shade control
Beyond storms, screens tame intense water-facing sun, glare, and heat on the terrace — comfort you use year-round.
Preserve the bay & Gulf view
Woven mesh keeps your water view and daylight while blocking debris — no plywood or metal panels over the estate’s best feature.
Discreet motorized operation
Premium screens deploy from a switch, remote, or smart-home control and retract into an architectural housing — protection that stays invisible.
Installed by locals
A family-owned, woman-owned Gulf Coast company measures and installs every Longboat Key job — no subcontracted crews.
What we consider for Longboat Key hurricane screen projects
Luxury island living shapes the right specification — we plan for these during your consultation.
Marine-grade, salt-ready components
Direct water exposure demands marine-grade, corrosion-resistant hardware, housings, and fasteners so premium motors and tracks survive salt air.
Concealed, architectural housings
On high-end estates the housing must disappear into the architecture. We plan pockets and finishes so the system is invisible when retracted.
Estate & condo approval
Longboat Key estates and towers have strict exterior standards. We prepare documentation and coordinate with architects, builders, and associations.
Permitting & inspection
Hurricane screen installation is permitted work in the Town of Longboat Key. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and keep the paperwork clean for insurance and resale.
What Longboat Key homeowners say about their hurricane screens
We had a great experience working with Nick on our plantation shutters and smart drapes. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and really knew his products. Everything turned out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with how it all looks in our home. The smart drapes are especially amazing! Highly recommend Nick and his team!
Jennifer Liu
Great experience with Sarasota Window Blinds. They were professional, easy to work with, and did a great job from start to finish. Everything turned out great and the quality of the work really shows. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for window treatments.

Hurricane screen questions from Longboat Key homeowners
Do hurricane screens really protect an estate against Gulf storms?
Yes. Code-approved hurricane screens are tested against Florida wind-load and large-missile impact standards. On an exposed barrier island they block wind-driven debris and rain from reaching the openings behind them.
Will the housing be visible on my home?
It does not have to be. On Longboat Key estates we plan concealed, architectural housings so the screen retracts completely out of sight and never interrupts the lines of the home or the view.
Can the screens integrate with my smart-home system?
Yes. Premium motorized screens tie into home-automation systems and wind sensors, and can be operated or scheduled remotely — convenient for Longboat Key’s many seasonal owners.
Will the screens survive direct salt-air exposure?
When specified for the coast, yes. We use marine-grade, corrosion-resistant hardware, housings, and fasteners so the system keeps operating smoothly on the water for years.
Is the in-home consultation really free?
Yes. A specialist comes to your Longboat Key home or condo, measures your terrace and openings, reviews premium screen and motor options, and leaves you with a clear written quote at no cost and no obligation.
