Sealed, shaded patios for Farmers Branch's Brookhaven estates and Mercer Crossing homes — owner-led install, City of Farmers Branch permit handled.
Farmers Branch calls itself the City in a Park — more than two dozen parks and the rose gardens that host national trials — and all that green canopy and water is exactly what makes its patios shaded, lovely, and buggy. Motorized retractable screens turn a Farmers Branch patio into a sealed, shade-controlled outdoor room, then roll away when you want the park-like backyard back.
The same parks, creeks and mature trees that earned Farmers Branch its City in a Park identity also give mosquitoes places to breed and rest, and Dallas County recorded West Nile activity in the Farmers Branch area in 2024, including positive mosquito pools and a serious human case. A sealed motorized screen is what lets you enjoy a shaded Farmers Branch backyard in the evening without the bites.
Farmers Branch spans established and new — the custom estates and golf lots around Brookhaven Country Club, the oak-shaded lots of Oakbrook Estates, and the resort-style yards of new Mercer Crossing construction. The established homes often already have a covered patio ideal for a screen retrofit, while the new builds get a screen as a clean finishing touch. A retractable system fits both.
Much of Farmers Branch's established core isn't blanketed by HOAs, which often makes a screen project simpler than in the master-planned suburbs — the main step is the city permit. Farmers Branch requires a permit for a patio cover or attached structure and for the electrical work that powers a motor; we confirm the requirement with the City of Farmers Branch and handle the permit and licensed wiring.
Most motorized patio screens in Farmers Branch 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.

Farmers Branch 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 Farmers Branch and handle whatever's required.
Often not. Much of established Farmers Branch isn't under a mandatory HOA, which usually keeps a screen project simple — the main step is the city permit, which we handle. Where a community does run architectural review, we prepare the submittal for you.
Yes. The parks, creeks and mature canopy that make Farmers Branch a 'City in a Park' also breed mosquitoes, and Dallas County recorded West Nile activity in the area in 2024. A sealed motorized insect screen keeps your shaded backyard usable in the evening.
