Bug-free, shaded patios for Frisco's gated golf estates and brand-new builder homes — measured to your opening and installed clean by a local owner-led crew.
Few North Texas cities have built more covered patios in the last twenty years than Frisco — and most of them are still wide open to mosquitoes and afternoon sun. As one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, Frisco is full of builder-grade covered patios in master-planned neighborhoods that are perfect candidates for a motorized retractable screen: one button turns the patio into a sealed, shaded outdoor room, then rolls it away when you want the view back.
Frisco grew from about 44,000 people in 2000 to roughly a quarter-million, and it's still only partly built out — which left tens of thousands of covered patios with the structure already in place. On those homes, from Phillips Creek Ranch to Lawler Park, a screen install is often just a motor and an electrical tie-in rather than any new construction. Builder-grade covered patios are the cleanest, fastest screen retrofits we do, and Frisco is full of them.
Frisco's amenity-rich communities are full of standing water — fishing lakes, fountains and ponds — and the city itself warns that a cap-full of water is enough to breed mosquitoes. Frisco runs a mosquito program from May through November with traps tested weekly by an entomologist and overnight spraying near positive West Nile pools. On the west edge, Lake Lewisville and its feeder creeks add to the pressure. A sealed motorized screen is what keeps your own patio usable through the evening.
Frisco is golf country — the new PGA of America headquarters and Omni resort, Stonebriar Country Club, Heritage Lakes — and homes on those fairways want bug and glare control without walling off the view, which is exactly what a retractable does. The same goes for the neighborhoods around The Star, the Dallas Cowboys' headquarters district, where we've installed pet-proof Mirage 1750R French-door screen sets on estate homes; that clientele values discretion, and so do we. Frisco is also near-universal HOA territory, with well over a hundred associations and many homes under both a master and a sub-association, and most require written architectural-committee approval before exterior work. A retractable screen is usually an easier approval than a fixed enclosure; we prepare the submittal and handle the City of Frisco permit where the structure or electrical work requires one.
Frisco requires a building permit for patio covers and accessory structures, and a separate permit for new electrical work — which is what powers a motorized screen. A screen added to an existing covered patio can be a gray area; we confirm with the City of Frisco on every job and handle the permit and licensed electrical work whenever it's required.
Almost always. Frisco's builder-grade covered patios usually already have the structure in place, so the screen install is often just a motor and an electrical tie-in — one of the cleanest, fastest retrofits we do. We measure to your exact opening so it fits like it was always there.
Usually, yes. Most Frisco neighborhoods are HOA-governed and require written architectural-committee approval for exterior changes, sometimes through both a master and a sub-association. A retractable screen is typically easier to approve than a fixed enclosure because it doesn't permanently change the home's look, and we prepare the documentation.
They do. Frisco's ponds, fishing lakes and fountains keep mosquito pressure high, the city sprays near positive West Nile pools through the warm months, and Lake Lewisville sits on the west edge. A sealed motorized insect screen lets you use the patio at dusk without the bites.
