Motorized Retractable Screen Installation (Project #4352) – Loggerhead Dr, Naples, FL
Naples
March 24, 2026
Approx. 142 sq. ft.
This Naples motorized retractable screen project upgraded a covered patio with 142 sq. ft. of dependable insect protection. Black Nano 70 mesh, a Dooya 50 Nm motor, remote control, bronze tracks, a zipper side-track system, and a heavy-duty bottom bar provide smooth, secure operation. Designed for Florida living, the screen lowers in seconds and retracts neatly to preserve airflow and an open view.
Project Overview
In Naples, this covered patio provided a comfortable place to relax, but its wide opening left the space exposed to mosquitoes and other insects. The homeowners wanted protection when needed without permanently closing the patio or interrupting the backyard view. Project #4352 solved that problem with a custom motorized retractable screen.
Measuring 168½ inches wide by approximately 121 inches high, the system covers about 142 square feet. At the touch of a button, the screen lowers to create a protected outdoor living area. When it is not needed, the mesh retracts into the overhead housing, restoring the patio’s open appearance.
The system uses black Nano 70 insect mesh to help keep out small flying insects while preserving airflow and outward visibility. A zipper side-track design keeps the screen aligned and minimizes gaps along both edges. Bronze housing and tracks complement the home’s exterior, while a heavy-duty 2.5-inch bottom bar and 2-inch brush seal provide a secure finish across the paver surface.
A Dooya 50 Nm motor delivers smooth operation through a handheld remote. The installation included exterior wiring, a power box, conduit, motor connection, programming, and final testing. Each component was positioned for reliable daily use and a clean appearance.

How We Did It
Project #4352 began with an on-site assessment and precise measurements of the covered patio opening in Naples. After confirming the 168½-inch width, drop height, bronze finish, and black Nano 70 insect mesh, the motorized screen system was prepared to fit the opening. Our team installed the overhead housing, zipper side tracks, heavy-duty bottom bar, and brush seal before completing the exterior electrical wiring, power box, conduit, and Dooya 50 Nm motor connection. The remote control was then programmed, and the screen was tested through multiple opening and closing cycles to confirm smooth travel, proper alignment, and a secure fit. After the final walkthrough, the homeowners received operating instructions and a ready-to-use motorized patio screen backed by ongoing company support.
Our specialist visited the Naples property to inspect the covered patio opening, mounting surfaces, nearby electrical access, and existing paver floor. Precise measurements confirmed a 168½-inch-wide opening with an approximate 121-inch drop, creating a total screen area of about 142 sq. ft. During the consultation, the homeowners selected black Nano 70 insect mesh, bronze housing and tracks, a zipper side-track system, a heavy-duty bottom bar, and remote-controlled operation with the motor positioned on the right. After the equipment, electrical work, project cost, and two-week timeline were reviewed, the final scope and contract were approved.
Using the verified field measurements, our team prepared a visual layout showing how the motorized retractable screen would fit within the covered patio opening in both the lowered and fully retracted positions. The technical configuration identified the 168½-inch span, approximate 121-inch drop, bronze housing and tracks, black Nano 70 mesh, zipper retention system, and right-side motor placement. The installation plan also specified the Dooya 50 Nm motor, heavy-duty bottom bar, 2-inch brush seal, mounting points, and electrical route. This planning stage allowed the homeowners to review the screen’s appearance and operation before fabrication and installation began.
Before fabrication began, our team reviewed the project scope and applicable Collier County requirements for the motorized screen installation. The screen dimensions, mounting method, product specifications, motor placement, and exterior electrical routing were documented to ensure the work could proceed correctly. Any required supporting information was organized and verified before installation was scheduled. Once the applicable requirements and site conditions were confirmed, the custom screen system moved into material preparation and fabrication.
The custom screen components were prepared according to the approved measurements and installation layout before work began at the Naples property. Our installers mounted the bronze overhead housing and positioned the punched side tracks along the 168½-inch-wide patio opening. The black Nano 70 insect mesh was secured within the zipper retention system and connected to the motorized roll tube. A heavy-duty 2.5-inch bottom bar with a 2-inch brush seal was then installed to create a clean, secure fit across the paver surface. After the mechanical components were aligned, the Dooya 50 Nm motor, exterior wiring, power box, and conduit were connected. The complete project timeline was approximately two weeks.
After installation, our team completed a final quality inspection of the motorized screen system. We checked the mesh tension, zipper engagement, side-track alignment, housing connections, bottom bar position, brush seal contact, electrical wiring, and exterior power box. The Dooya 50 Nm motor and remote control were tested through multiple opening and closing cycles, and the upper and lower stopping points were adjusted for smooth, reliable operation. During the final walkthrough, the homeowners were shown how to operate and care for the screen and received the related project information. Project #4352 was officially completed on March 24, 2026.
Following the final handover, the motorized retractable screen was placed under the applicable product and installation warranty outlined in the project agreement. Our team remains available to assist with questions about the Dooya motor, remote control, Nano 70 insect mesh, zipper side tracks, bottom bar, housing, or electrical components. The homeowners also received basic operating and maintenance guidance to help keep the system moving smoothly. They can now enjoy convenient insect protection with dependable support available after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about motorized retractable screens in Naples, including pricing, insect mesh, track systems, electrical installation, maintenance, and severe-weather use.
How much does a motorized retractable screen cost in Naples?
The final price depends on the opening width and height, mesh type, housing finish, motor capacity, control options, electrical access, and installation conditions. Project #4352 covered approximately 142 sq. ft. and had a project value of around $4,000, including a custom screen system, Dooya 50 Nm motor, handheld remote, bronze housing and tracks, exterior wiring, conduit, setup, and testing. That figure is a project example rather than a fixed rate for every home. Larger openings, multiple screens, smart-home controls, concealed housings, or difficult electrical routes can change the total. An on-site measurement is the most reliable way to prepare an accurate quote for a Naples property.
Does Nano 70 insect mesh block airflow or the backyard view?
Black Nano 70 insect mesh is designed to reduce mosquitoes and other small flying insects while allowing fresh air to move through the patio. Its dark color makes the material less visually distracting when looking toward the backyard, especially from inside a shaded outdoor area. Like any screen, it slightly softens the view and airflow, but it does not create the closed feeling of glass or a solid wall. The mesh retracts into the overhead housing when protection is not needed, so homeowners can restore the fully open patio view. Nano 70 is an insect-control mesh; it should not be described or used as hurricane-impact protection.
How do the zipper side tracks and bottom bar work?
The zipper retention system secures both vertical edges of the mesh inside the side tracks as the screen moves. This helps keep the fabric aligned, reduces gaps where insects could enter, and creates a cleaner fit across a wide opening. At the bottom, a heavy-duty 2.5-inch bar adds weight and stability so the screen lowers evenly. A 2-inch brush seal underneath the bar follows small variations in the paver surface and helps close the remaining space at floor level. These components work together, but they do not make the screen airtight, waterproof, or hurricane-rated. The tracks should be kept clear of leaves, dirt, furniture, and other obstructions.
What does motorized screen installation include, and how long does it take?
A typical installation begins with verified field measurements and confirmation of the mounting surfaces, motor side, housing color, mesh, controls, and electrical access. The custom components are then prepared for the opening. On site, installers mount the overhead housing and side tracks, fit the mesh and bottom bar, and align the zipper system. Electrical work includes the exterior power box, conduit, wiring, motor connection, remote programming, and operational testing when included in the contract. Project #4352 took approximately two weeks from preparation through final handover. Actual timing can vary with fabrication, access, electrical conditions, product availability, and project scope.
Can a motorized insect screen be used during strong winds or hurricanes
This standard motorized insect screen is intended for everyday shade, airflow, privacy, and insect control; it is not a hurricane-rated barrier. The screen should be fully retracted into its housing before thunderstorms, strong winds, tropical storms, or hurricanes. It should also remain raised when the patio opening is unattended for an extended period or when furniture and other objects could obstruct its path. Never force the bottom bar, pull on the mesh, or operate the screen when debris is inside the tracks. If the screen travels unevenly, stops unexpectedly, or comes out of a track, stop using it and request service. Hurricane protection requires a separately engineered and approved system.
