Serving Siesta Key, Florida
Hurricane Screens in Siesta Key
Motorized and manual hurricane screens that protect Siesta Key beachfront lanais, balconies, and wide openings from Gulf storms — then roll away out of sight, measured and installed by a local family-owned company.
Why hurricane screens make sense on Siesta Key
On a barrier island like Siesta Key, storm exposure is a fact of life and the outdoor room is the whole point — the beachfront lanai, the condo balcony, the canal-home dock. Those wide openings are the hardest to protect, and hurricane screens close them off in seconds, blocking wind-driven debris and rain while the living space behind stays sealed.
Many Siesta Key homes and condos are second homes, so a motorized screen you can deploy before you leave the island — or remotely — is a real advantage. Screens use high-strength woven mesh rated for Florida wind loads and retract into a discreet housing when the weather clears. See our pricing policy for how we quote every job.
Island storm protection without giving up the view
What motorized and manual hurricane screens deliver for Siesta Key homes and condos.
Protect wide openings
Screens cover beachfront lanais, balconies, and multi-panel sliders that shutters cannot easily 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 Siesta Key’s high coastal exposure.
Everyday sun & shade control
Beyond storms, screens tame intense Gulf-facing sun, glare, and heat on the lanai or balcony — useful year-round.
Keep the Gulf view
Woven mesh preserves your beach and water view and daylight while blocking debris — no dark plywood or metal panels over the best part of the home.
One-touch motorized operation
Motorized screens deploy from a switch, remote, or phone in seconds — ideal for second-home owners closing up before they travel.
Installed by locals
A family-owned, woman-owned Gulf Coast company measures and installs every Siesta Key job — no subcontracted crews.
What we consider for Siesta Key hurricane screen projects
Island living shapes the right specification — we plan for these during your consultation.
Marine-grade, salt-ready components
Direct Gulf exposure demands marine-grade, corrosion-resistant hardware, housings, and fasteners so motors and tracks survive salt air.
Condo & association approval
Beachfront condos have strict rules on exterior modifications and balcony appearance. We prepare documentation and match association standards.
High coastal wind exposure
Barrier-island homes see some of the region’s highest design pressures. We measure exposure and size screens, motors, and housings accordingly.
Permitting & inspection
Hurricane screen installation is permitted work in Sarasota County. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and keep the paperwork clean for insurance and resale.
What Siesta 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 Siesta Key homeowners
Do hurricane screens really protect 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.
Hurricane screens or impact glass — which do I need on Siesta Key?
They solve different problems. Impact windows and doors protect individual openings; hurricane screens protect large spans like beachfront lanais and balconies in one pass. Many island homes use both. We help you decide.
Can I operate the screens remotely when I am away?
Yes. Motorized screens can be tied to smart-home controls and, in some setups, operated or scheduled remotely — a popular option for Siesta Key’s second-home 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 beach for years.
Is the in-home consultation really free?
Yes. A specialist comes to your Siesta Key home or condo, measures your lanai and openings, reviews screen and motor options, and leaves you with a clear written quote at no cost and no obligation.
