Case Study: Clean Breeze and Bug-Free Living with a Single Retractable Screen Door in Costa Mesa, CA

Introduction

Sometimes it’s the simplest solution that makes the biggest difference. For one homeowner in Costa Mesa, CA, adding a single retractable screen door to their main entry brought immediate comfort, convenience, and a fresh flow of air—all without compromising the look of their home.

Project Overview

The client had a traditional front door setup and wanted a way to enjoy natural airflow without leaving the door wide open to bugs and debris. They didn’t want a permanent screen cluttering up their entryway, but they also didn’t want to sacrifice ventilation. A single retractable screen door was the perfect fit.

Installation Process

After a quick site visit and precise measurements, our factory-trained technician arrived with a custom-built Apollo retractable screen designed specifically for the doorway. The screen was installed directly onto the existing frame with a low-profile track and an ergonomic metal handle.

One of the standout features of Apollo’s retractable screens is how smoothly they operate—there’s no slamming or snapping back like cheaper brands. Everything about this screen felt intentional, from the way it glided to how it almost disappeared when not in use.

Benefits Realized

• Fresh Air Without the Fuss: The homeowner now enjoys cross-ventilation without flies or mosquitoes.

• Out of Sight When Not Needed: The screen retracts completely, preserving the clean look of the entryway.

• Built to Last: With durable components and expert installation, this screen is built for years of daily use.

• Modern Design Touch: While function came first, the homeowner appreciated the clean, modern finish that blended into the doorframe.

• No Slamming: Apollo’s no-slam mechanism gave extra peace of mind—especially with kids in the house.
