Case Study: Retractable Screen Door Installed on Side Patio in Alpine, CA

Introduction

Tucked into the scenic foothills of San Diego County, Alpine is known for its quiet charm and year-round sunshine — making outdoor living a way of life. But as any homeowner here knows, keeping the fresh air flowing often comes with an unwelcome side effect: bugs. That was the challenge for one Alpine homeowner who wanted a better solution for their side patio door. Our team delivered just that — with a smooth, modern retractable screen door that’s there when needed and gone when it’s not.

Project Overview

The homeowner contacted us looking for a discreet screen solution for their frequently used side patio door. Their goals were simple: let the breeze in, keep the bugs out, and avoid the bulky, awkward look of a traditional screen door. We recommended an Apollo Retractable Screen — custom-measured and built to handle daily use while keeping a low profile.

Installation Process

After confirming measurements, we returned with a custom-fit screen finished in a powder-coated bronze frame to match the home’s exterior. The install took under two hours and required no major modifications to the existing door frame. Our factory-trained technician ensured a smooth, quiet operation, and walked the homeowner through simple care instructions before wrapping up.

Benefits Realized

• Breeze on Demand – The screen allows full ventilation on warm days without letting insects in.

• Disappears When Not in Use – Retracts fully into a slim housing, keeping the doorway wide open when needed.

• No Slamming – Apollo’s screens retract gently, avoiding the loud snap other brands are known for.

• Built to Last – With durable components and a smooth-gliding metal handle, it’s built for regular use.

• Clean, Modern Look – The finish and fit elevate the door’s appearance without drawing attention.

Conclusion

This Alpine homeowner now enjoys their side patio door more than ever — without compromising on convenience or appearance. Apollo Retractable Screens bring in the breeze while keeping the view and entryway clear.
