Bug-free, shaded patios for Carrollton's creek-lined and golf-course neighborhoods — owner-led install, permit and HOA handled.
Carrollton is laced with water — the Elm Fork of the Trinity on its west edge and a network of named creek drainageways winding through its neighborhoods — and that's what keeps the mosquitoes coming back to its patios every summer. Motorized retractable screens turn a Carrollton patio into a sealed, shaded outdoor room at the touch of a button, then roll away when you want it open.
Carrollton's backyards back up to real water — the Elm Fork of the Trinity and named drainageways like Furneaux Creek, Hutton Branch, Dudley Branch and Indian Creek thread the city — and Carrollton has run a mosquito-control program for two decades, trapping and testing across multiple zones and spraying when a sample comes back West Nile-positive. The city treats the public creeks; your patio is on its own, which is where a sealed motorized screen earns its place.
Carrollton's premium pockets — the Indian Creek golf community, the Estates of Indian Creek, The Gates of Prestonwood — are large-lot, fairway-and-creek backyards exactly suited to a retractable screen that keeps the view and loses the bugs. A clean motorized system disappears into the architecture rather than walling off the lot.
Carrollton requires a permit for a patio cover or attached structure and for the electrical work that powers a motor, and many Carrollton communities run architectural review for exterior changes. A retractable screen is usually an easier approval than a fixed enclosure because it doesn't permanently change the elevation. We confirm the permit with the City of Carrollton, prepare the HOA submittal, and handle the licensed electrical work.
Most motorized patio screens in Carrollton cost $3,500–$7,000 installed per opening. Manual retractable screen doors start around $1,350, and the large-opening manual Mirage 3500 starts around $3,500. Almost nobody around here publishes pricing. We'd rather you walk in knowing the ballpark than sit through a sales pitch to hear a number.
Multi-opening enclosures, clear-vinyl four-season rooms, motorized shade packages, and restaurant & commercial buildouts are designed and quoted per project. Most land between $15,000 and $65,000+ depending on openings, materials, build-out, and site conditions.

Carrollton requires a permit for a patio cover or attached structure and for the electrical work that powers a motorized screen. A screen on an existing covered patio may only need the electrical permit; we confirm with the City of Carrollton and handle whatever's required.
They do. Carrollton's creeks — the Elm Fork of the Trinity, Furneaux Creek, Hutton Branch, Dudley Branch and Indian Creek — keep mosquito pressure high, and the city has trapped, tested and sprayed for West Nile for years. A sealed motorized insect screen lets you use the patio at dusk without the bites.
All of Carrollton — the Indian Creek golf community, the Estates of Indian Creek, The Gates of Prestonwood, Coyote Ridge, Josey Ranch and the surrounding neighborhoods across the three counties the city spans.
Usually, yes. Many Carrollton communities run architectural review for exterior changes, and a retractable screen is typically easier to approve than a fixed enclosure because it doesn't permanently change the home's look. We prepare the documentation your community asks for.
