Enjoy your porch or lanai
Keep the space open when you want the view, and lower the screens when you want shade or help keeping insects out. We'll help you choose a retractable screen around the way you spend time outside.

Family-owned and operated in Stuart, with three generations in the window treatment industry.
Fabric and operation choices
Start with the purpose: insect control, relief from glare or more privacy. Then we'll help you choose how to operate the screens. Your fabric and control choices work together to give you the setup you want.
Raise or lower your screens with a remote or wall control. Powered operation can make it easier to adjust a large opening or several screens.
We'll plan the power and controls with you. Any app features or sensors depend on the system, and we'll explain its weather-use instructions.
If you prefer manual operation, we can assess whether a suitable system is practical for the size and location of your opening.
We'll help you weigh how often you'll move the screen and how easy it will be to reach and operate. Availability depends on the selected system.
Soften direct sun and glare while keeping some of the view through the screen. Fabric color and weave change how the space looks and feels.
A denser fabric changes airflow and visibility. We'll explain those differences and how privacy can change after dark.
Tom Shinn grew up around his family's window treatment business and founded The Shutter Factory in 2018. Our family-owned and operated team brings three generations of industry experience to the conversation. You tell us how you want to use the porch or lanai; we help you understand the screen choices and the fit your opening needs.
Plan around your outdoor space
You may want help with small insects, a sunnier side of the lanai or privacy near a neighbor. We look at the complete opening and explain which fabric and hardware suit the job.
The raised screen stores in a housing at the top. We check beams, lights and the available headroom to find a practical mounting position.
The screen's edges matter for insect control and smooth operation. We check the floor and surrounding openings and explain what can be achieved in your space.
We plan where the controls belong and how to supply power if needed. We also explain how and when to retract the chosen system as weather changes.
From measuring to everyday use
We measure the opening and assess the mounting surfaces, headroom and power access. We explain the proposed screen, fabric and controls before you order. At installation, we check movement and fit and show you the operating steps and weather instructions.
Care information and the selected product's warranty are part of that conversation, too.

The screen size, fabric, guide system and controls affect the price, along with the mounting work. An existing patio and a new space planned with recessed screens can need different installation work.
We'll look at your space and explain the installed options, so you can choose with a clear idea of the scope and cost.
A few helpful answers
We need the opening dimensions and a look at the mounting conditions to give you an installed quote. Fabric, controls and the number of screens also affect the price. A free in-home consultation is the place to start.
They can when the system uses suitable small-insect mesh and a well-fitted perimeter. We'll discuss that need specifically, including gaps around the surrounding enclosure. Standard solar mesh should not be assumed to do the same job.
Everyday solar and insect screens are not a substitute for a storm-protection system. If hurricane protection is your goal, we'll direct you to systems with the appropriate product documentation and installation requirements for your openings.
We can assess it during a visit. The dimensions, mounting surfaces, headroom and power access determine which system can fit. We'll explain the options after looking at the space.
