In El Dorado Hills, a homeowner wanted to enjoy the fresh air without the hassle of flying pests—especially during the warmer months when bugs are at their worst. We stepped in with a solution that’s become a favorite for front entries across California: a retractable screen door that disappears when not in use.

This project involved a single front entry door where the homeowner didn’t want a traditional swinging screen cluttering up the entryway. They wanted clean curb appeal but also wanted airflow through the home. The goal was simple: keep the view, keep the breeze, lose the bugs.
We custom-measured the opening to ensure a tight, precise fit. This customer chose a bronze housing to complement their entry hardware and trim. We used our standard Apollo retractable screen system, known for its smooth, quiet operation and durable metal handle that feels solid in your hand.
Installation was completed in under two hours. Because our screens don’t slam shut like some brands, we gave the homeowner a quick demo on how it gently retracts—a nice touch they appreciated.
Bugs Out, Breeze In: Keeps mosquitoes and gnats outside, where they belong.
Low Profile: Retracts completely out of sight when not in use.
Strong Yet Subtle: Metal handle and well-built components stand up to daily use.
Quiet Performance: No banging or slamming—smooth glide every time.
Custom Fit: Made to order, measured and installed by factory-trained pros.

This front door in El Dorado Hills now gives the homeowner exactly what they wanted: clean airflow without visual clutter or bug problems. And when the door’s closed, you’d never know the screen was even there.
