4-Week Install Guarantee – Metro Phoenix

The day your deposit is placed. Not the day material arrives, not the day your file reaches a scheduler, and not the day a crew becomes available. Place your deposit on the 1st and your motorized patio screens are installed on or before the 29th. The single exception is a project that needs a pre installation site visit, covered in the next question, where the clock starts once that visit is completed.

Some openings need us out before installation can be scheduled, usually for unusual framing, a structural mounting question, or a commercial opening with access constraints. When that applies, the 4 week window begins once the site visit is completed rather than at deposit. Your specialist tells you at the quote whether a visit is needed, so you know which start date applies before you commit to anything.

We send you $500. There is no claim form to fill out, no receipt to dig up, and no debate about which side caused the delay. We chose the deadline and we chose to attach money to it, so missing it costs us instead of you.

No, and this is the term worth reading twice. The guarantee covers four fabric colors, Espresso, Black, Tobacco, and Tumbleweed, and three frame colors, Bronze, Mocha, and White. Those are the colors stocked locally in Phoenix, which is what makes the turnaround physically possible. Any other color in our range is still available to you, your project simply runs on our standard lead time instead. Eligibility is confirmed in writing before you place a deposit, never after.

People ask this a dozen ways: how much are retractable screens for patio openings, how much do motorized retractable screens cost, how much do motorized patio shades cost. The answer is the same for all of them, and it is that there is no flat price, because no two openings are the same. What it comes down to is opening size first, then the fabric you choose, then how you operate them. A single window and a twenty foot multi bay span are genuinely different projects. Motorization, controls, and mounting complexity move the number from there. We put an exact written price in front of you at a free on site quote with no obligation, and if you want real numbers before talking to anyone, our Phoenix rolling screens cost breakdown shows ranges by opening size along with an interactive estimator.

The best retractable patio screens are the ones matched to the problem you are actually solving, because the mesh does most of the work. If afternoon heat and glare are the issue, an open solar mesh cuts the load while keeping your view and your airflow. If the patio goes unusable at dusk, a tight weave insect mesh that seals against the side tracks is the answer. If you are exposed to a neighbor or a street, a denser privacy fabric is. For wind and blowing dust, a zip style side retention track holds the fabric taut instead of letting it flap. That is also how we spec motorized screens for patio projects across the Valley: by opening, not by catalog. Most projects end up mixing types rather than picking one for the whole property.

Weave density. Patio shade screens use an open mesh built to stop heat and glare while you still see through it, rated to block up to 95% of heat and UV before it reaches your space. Patio privacy screens use a far tighter weave, so an exposed opening reads as a solid panel from the street or the neighbor’s yard. Light direction matters too: privacy fabric is strongest when it is brighter outside than in, which covers most of an Arizona day, and that balance flips after dark with lamps on inside. For a bedroom, media room, or patio you want private at night, ask about a full blackout fabric rather than an open mesh.

Mostly yes. They are different names people use for the same system. Roll up screens for patio openings, automatic patio screens, motorized shades for patio spans, and motorized retractable screens for patio and window use all describe the same thing: mesh that rolls down from a slim housing above the opening and travels in tracks down each side. What genuinely differs is how you operate it and which fabric goes in it. On this page, automatic means motorized: a handheld remote, a wall switch, your phone, or a schedule that drops the screens through the hottest part of the afternoon without you touching anything.

No. Solar motors on motorized patio screens are completely wireless. There is no new wiring to run, no electrician to schedule, no permit waiting on an electrical inspection, and no holes cut in your walls or your electrical panel. A slim solar panel keeps the built in battery charged from daylight, which in Arizona is not a demanding requirement. That means screens can go on openings with no power anywhere near them, and they keep working during an outage. Taking an entire trade out of the schedule is one of the practical reasons a 4 week window is realistic.

Your deposit commits your material, starts the 4 week clock, and locks in both your install date and your free upgrade, either the solar motor upgrade at a $350 value per screen or the Bond Bridge at a $200 value. Final measurements happen at that same appointment rather than on a separate trip back, and you leave with a confirmed install date in writing. Your specialist walks through the deposit amount and the remaining balance schedule with you before anything is signed.

The install day is a matter of hours, not days. Most homes with one to four screens finish in a single visit: our crew mounts the housing above each opening, anchors the side tracks, sets and programs the motors, tests every screen, and walks you through the controls before leaving. Larger multi bay or commercial jobs can run into a second day. The 4 week guarantee covers the wait between your deposit and that install day, which is the part that actually frustrates people.

If you are looking up how to clean patio screens, it is easier than most people expect, and the fabric cleans in place on the frame. Hose the mesh down with clear water about once a month. For a deeper clean, brush off loose dirt, hose it down, then wash with water and a mild natural soap, not a laundry or dish detergent, working it in with a soft bristle brush. Let it soak, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. For mildew or roof run off staining, mix half a cup of chlorine bleach and a quarter cup of natural soap into a gallon of water, brush it on, let it sit up to 20 minutes, then rinse and air dry. Skip pressure washers and harsh household cleaners. A thorough deep clean is typically needed only every two to three years.

Right here, and the guarantee travels with us across the Valley. Roll-A-Shield has been Phoenix based and family owned since 1979, licensed, bonded, and insured under Arizona ROC 342265. If you are searching for retractable patio screens near me, or motorized screens for patio near me, we cover Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, and Surprise, along with the surrounding communities. The same Phoenix crews handle every install, which is exactly why the deadline does not change based on which side of the Valley you are on. Call (480) 418-0333 and we will confirm your address in about a minute.

Commercial openings are quoted individually, because access, mounting, and span vary far more than they do on a home. Many commercial projects qualify, and those that need a pre installation site visit start the 4 week clock once that visit is completed. Tell us about the property when you request your quote and we will confirm eligibility before you commit to a deposit.
