A front door screen should do more than just keep bugs out — it should disappear when not in use, operate smoothly, and look like it belongs on the home. That’s exactly what we delivered for a homeowner in Boise, ID who was looking for a clean, effective way to bring airflow into their home without compromising curb appeal.

This project involved installing a custom-fit retractable screen door on a traditional single front entry in a quiet Boise neighborhood. The homeowner wanted something subtle that wouldn’t take away from the look of their entry door but would still allow them to enjoy the cross breeze during warmer months.
We measured the opening, confirmed the door swing direction, and matched the screen housing to the home’s trim color for a seamless look.
Our factory-trained installer arrived on-site with a fully custom-built screen unit, color-matched to the home’s door frame.
We mounted the retractable screen housing on the hinge side of the door for the most comfortable access.
A low-profile bottom guide was installed to keep the screen in place without creating a tripping hazard.
The screen was tested thoroughly to ensure smooth operation with no slamming — thanks to Apollo’s patented smooth-close technology and solid metal ergonomic handle.
The job took less than two hours from arrival to cleanup.
✅ Breeze Without Bugs – Lets air in while keeping pests out.
✅ Out of Sight When Not in Use – The screen retracts completely, leaving the doorway wide open when needed.
✅ Better Built – Apollo screens are known for their solid construction and smooth operation.
✅ Custom Look – Color-matched housing blended in perfectly with the front entry.
The homeowner was thrilled with the result — especially the ease of use and how discreet the screen looks when it's not in use. They’re now enjoying fresh air through the front door without worrying about insects or unsightly screens cluttering the entrance.
