How it works

The 3-step
install process.

Bottom line first

Vetted Lexington crews follow a three-step installation process: laser site survey to confirm header levelness, custom housing integration for clean aesthetics, and smart-home commissioning synced to local weather data. Most installs complete in a single day. Call (859) 555-0199 for a free quote.

From quote to commissioning,
most installs complete in one day.

Step 1 — Laser Site Survey

A certified installer visits your property and digitally surveys every mounting surface. Even a 1/8-inch slope causes a motorized screen to roll unevenly, producing permanent fabric wrinkles. Laser-leveled brackets and floating track systems account for Kentucky's 100-degree annual temperature swing — standard fixed mounting does not.

Why this matters: a 1/8-inch slope causes uneven roll — permanent fabric wrinkles, premature wear, and motor strain.

Step 2 — Custom Housing Integration

Screen housing is recessed into the porch ceiling where structurally possible. When the screens retract, nothing is visible — no exposed box, no hardware clutter. Installers custom-size every panel to the exact opening, including irregular or historic-frame openings common in Chevy Chase and other older Lexington neighborhoods.

Step 3 — Smart-Home Commissioning

Installation isn't complete until the system is live. Crews program automated routines — Sunset Deploy, UV-index triggers, wind-gust auto-retract at 35 mph — and sync the motor to Google Home, Alexa, or Apple HomeKit per homeowner preference. Wireless wind sensors are calibrated to local exposure at the final step.

The install isn't complete until wind sensors are calibrated and smart-home sync is tested.
