Case Study: Power Garage Screens Bring Comfort and Control to a Home in Crystal Lake, IL

Introduction

In the heart of Crystal Lake, Illinois, a homeowner wanted more out of their garage — not just a place to park cars, but a flexible space that felt like an extension of their home. With one simple addition, they gained privacy on demand, fresh air without the bugs, and a cleaner, more finished look. The answer? A motorized Garage Power Screen from Apollo.

Project Overview

This project focused on converting a standard two-car garage into a more usable, breezier, and cleaner space. The homeowner was tired of closing the garage to avoid mosquitoes or leaving it open and giving up their privacy. They wanted the garage to feel inviting — whether working on a project, entertaining, or just enjoying the fresh air.

The Apollo motorized retractable screen gave them exactly that — a screen that disappears when not in use, and lowers quietly with a remote whenever they need it.

Installation Process

Our team began with precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit — a key feature of every Apollo product. After selecting a charcoal-colored mesh for optimal airflow and daytime privacy, the motorized system was custom-built to size.

We installed a sleek, low-profile housing above the garage opening. Wiring was discreetly routed, and the screen was tested multiple times to ensure silent, smooth operation. The install took just a few hours, and the result was seamless.

Benefits Realized

• Bug-Free Breeze – Allows airflow without inviting in pests

• Push-Button Privacy – Lowers instantly, no manual work required

• Multi-Purpose Space – Use the garage for hobbies, workouts, or hangouts

• Curb Appeal – Tidy, clean appearance when retracted

• Out of Sight – Hidden when not in use, no bulky frames or visual clutter

Conclusion

A small change made a big impact for this Crystal Lake homeowner. Now they enjoy more comfort, more flexibility, and more time in a space they used to avoid. When they want privacy and protection, it’s there. When they don’t, it vanishes — just like that.
