Case Study: Retractable Screen Door Installation in Pico Rivera, CA

Introduction

In Southern California, indoor-outdoor living is a way of life — but leaving your door wide open is an open invitation for bugs. That’s exactly what a homeowner in Pico Rivera was trying to solve. They wanted fresh air and a clearer connection to the outdoors — without sacrificing the clean lines of their entryway. That’s where we came in with a retractable screen solution that fits the space and the lifestyle.

Project Overview

The homeowner contacted us looking for a better way to enjoy a breeze without a bulky, permanent screen. After a quick consultation, we scheduled a custom installation of a retractable screen door for their front entry. The door was a standard single swing-out, and they chose a frame color that matched the trim for a natural, low-profile appearance.

Installation Process

Our factory-trained team arrived ready to complete the install in one visit.

• We took precise measurements to ensure the screen would sit flush and operate smoothly.

• A custom-built screen cassette was installed in the door frame, blending seamlessly with the exterior.

• We tested and fine-tuned the tension so the screen would retract gently — no snapping, no slamming.

• The ergonomic metal handle was mounted at just the right height for effortless everyday use.

The entire process took under two hours. No mess, no disruption — just a clean result.

Benefits Realized

• Fresh air, no pests: Keeps bugs out while letting airflow in.

• Practically invisible: The screen disappears into a slim housing when not in use.

• Built to last: Quality materials and craftsmanship make a real difference.

• Quiet and smooth: Apollo’s screens retract with a soft close every time.

• Better feel, better function: The ergonomic handle makes it easy for everyone in the house to use.

Conclusion

With one simple addition, this Pico Rivera homeowner now enjoys a more breathable and open home — without compromising privacy, cleanliness, or design. It’s a subtle change with a big impact, and it’s exactly what we do best.
