Yes – we design, supply and install retractable screens throughout Oakville, from covered porches in Old Oakville and Morrison to loggias in Glen Abbey and Joshua Creek. Openings near the lake get a zipper-track mesh to handle wind, and every install carries a 5-year warranty, in writing.
Retractable screens in Oakville
A retractable screen is an aluminum-framed mesh panel that rolls up into a slim headbox and pulls down a track to close off an opening, by hand or by a motor. For the full rundown on frame options, mesh grades and how the tracks lock into place, our retractable screens hub covers the product end to end.
In Oakville we fit this kind of screen most often onto covered porches and loggias rather than bare patios. Streets around Old Oakville, Morrison and Bronte carry deep covered porches built decades ago, with masonry columns and painted wood trim the track has to mount into cleanly. Newer builds in Joshua Creek, River Oaks and Glen Abbey tend to have a covered loggia off the back of the house, with a stucco or stone opening already framed out and sometimes a motor line already roughed in. Either way we measure the opening on site, check what the track mounts into, and confirm whether the house sits close enough to the lake that we should spec a zipper-track system to keep the mesh from flapping loose in the wind.
Installation itself is usually finished in a single visit for one opening: we anchor the headbox and side tracks, run and test the motor or set the manual gear, and show the household how to clean and operate the screen before we leave.
What it solves
Lakefront wind along Lakeshore Road and Bronte
Houses along Lakeshore Road and down toward Bronte harbour catch steady wind off the lake, and a basic screen will billow and chatter in that kind of gust. We spec a zipper-track system for these openings – the mesh edge locks into a channel on both sides instead of just hanging in a guide, so it stays flat and quiet even on a windy afternoon.
Mature trees, shade and bugs
Many Oakville lots in Morrison, River Oaks and the older parts of town carry mature trees that throw real shade – and real bugs. A retractable screen lets you keep windows and patio doors open through a humid evening without turning the porch into a mosquito problem, while the tree canopy does the cooling work the screen doesn't have to.
Heritage district rules in Old Oakville
Old Oakville sits inside a heritage conservation district, and a visible change to the front or street-facing side of a designated home can need a heritage permit before work starts. We check the property's status before we quote, and where a permit applies we pick a frame colour and a mount that reads as unobtrusive from the street.
Deep covered porches on older Oakville homes
A lot of the older homes around Old Oakville and Morrison have deep covered porches with masonry or wood columns spaced wider than a standard door opening. We build the headbox and track to span that width in one piece rather than splitting it, so there's no centre post breaking up the view.
Covered loggias on newer Glen Abbey and Joshua Creek builds
Newer homes in Joshua Creek and Glen Abbey are often built with a covered loggia already framed into the back elevation, sized for exactly this kind of screen. Where the builder has left a conduit for low-voltage wiring, we can usually wire a motorized screen into the opening without any exposed cable.
What it costs
Supplied and installed, a single screen has ranged from $1,400 to $23,500 on real jobs since 2022.
Every project is unique. The final figure depends on the size and number of openings, the options you choose and the site itself, and we put it in writing after a free on-site measure.
What moves the number:
- the width and height of the opening – a wider or taller span needs a reinforced track and a bigger motor
- motorised versus hand-crank operation, which changes both the hardware and the labour
- the mesh grade – basic insect mesh costs less than a solar-weave or privacy-weave fabric
- how many openings are screened in one visit – several openings on one property share a single measure and install trip
- access and height of the install – a second-storey or hard-to-reach opening takes longer to mount safely
- the frame and housing colour or finish chosen to match the home
- whether an existing structure needs modification before the screen can be mounted to it

Frequently Asked Questions
Where we install this
Oakville's housing stock splits into two distinct eras that change how a screen goes in. Older streets around Old Oakville, Morrison and Bronte carry deep covered porches and masonry columns, some inside a heritage conservation district where street-facing changes need sign-off before work starts. Newer construction in Glen Abbey, Joshua Creek and River Oaks tends to come with a covered loggia already framed for a screen and a motor line already in place. Add in steady wind off Lake Ontario along the shoreline and mature-tree lots that hold both shade and bugs, and the right screen spec in Oakville depends more on which part of town a home sits in than it does elsewhere in the region.
