Case Study: Seamless Screen Solutions for a San Diego Home – Balcony, French Doors & Deck Entry

Introduction

When airflow matters as much as appearance, retractable screen doors are the answer. A recent project in San Diego, CA gave us the opportunity to install three different retractable screen systems — a balcony screen door, a front French door screen, and a deck entry screen — all custom-fit and installed by our factory-trained team.

Project Overview

This San Diego homeowner reached out looking for practical ways to enjoy open doors without the hassle of insects or obstructed views. Their goals were simple:

• Fresh air flow through their elevated balcony

• A discreet screen solution for their front double French doors

• A smooth-operating screen for a rear deck entry used daily

They wanted quality, not just any off-the-shelf product. That’s where Apollo stepped in.

Installation Process

Every opening was carefully measured for a perfect fit. Here’s how we handled each:

• Balcony Screen Door: This sliding balcony door needed a screen that didn’t rattle in the wind or slam shut. We installed a custom retractable screen that operates smoothly and stays in place, even on breezy days.

• Front French Screen Door: These double doors required a dual-panel retractable setup that meets in the middle. The metal handles give a solid feel, and the low-profile housing blends right in with the trim.

• Deck Entry Retractable Screen: Positioned for high-traffic use, we chose a heavy-duty mesh built for durability, with a gentle close so it doesn’t snap back with use.

Benefits Realized

• ✅ Bug-free ventilation all day, every day

• ✅ No bulky doors — screens vanish when not in use

• ✅ Quiet and smooth operation thanks to non-slam technology

• ✅ Looks clean from every angle — no plastic handles or clunky casings

• ✅ Durability for heavy use, especially on the deck entrance

Conclusion

Three doors, one solution: retractable screens that work as hard as the home does. Whether it’s a balcony, front entry, or back deck — we bring fresh air in and keep pests out, with screens that disappear when you don’t need them.
