877-207-1964Very good quality product and after the sale service.
Very attractive feature they offer is the roll up screen has tracks that allow the screen to pop out in the event one ever forgets and backs out with the screen down.
Yes, it does happen!!!!!!

We just used Cool Breeze for the two car side. $1,995. Michele's quoted $2,480.
Absolutely love our screen. You can see out but nobody can see in.

We recently had an overhead screen door installed. After much research and comparison of the various companies frequently recommended on TOTV, we went with Cool Breeze. Lonni was very easy to work with and we are very happy with the new addition to our home.

We also went with Cool Breeze as I wanted the “see out - no see in” screening material which Is standard on their garage screen doors. My neighbor used another company which doesn’t have this material and you can see their garage contents when their screen is down.
Lonnie was great to work with, did a professional job which include the electrical hook ups, and services after the sale - great company

We used RK. Family owned and live in the Villages. You will find prices are almost the same maybe $100 difference between the larger companies. Wait time can be a while. We love ours and you cannot see inside the garage from the street.

RK Sunshades!!! We have their lanai screens for privacy and one garage screen with another on order. Many color options allow the top mechanism to match your home's color, and the screens themselves to provide many degrees of transparency.
There's another benefit; making a hot garage cooler. Garage screens are usually for allowing fresh air into the garage while keeping insects out. My garage has dark brown doors that face east. On full-sun days, they are like pizza ovens, directing a lot of heat into the garage. I've measured surface temperatures of 155-160 degrees during full-sun mornings. Leaving the garage door closed, and lowering the white screen (outside it) reduces that surface temperature to 105 degrees. Amazing difference! ... and of course, with the screen down and garage door open, the fresh air is perfect.
Give Rick a call: (352) 430-4430
...and No, I get no commission for mentioning them.

Ditto on Michelle's Hideaway Screens. One hand up and down with a sliding screen door - that makes a big difference!

Call Shade Brothers at 352-431-3181 and ask for sales rep Tina. She is great, good company and I'm very happy with my garage screen door.

Wait until your motor goes out and service is needed, they love that village money.
I had motor go bad.
It cost me after hours charge of $85.00 (it was 6 p.m.) just to come and say: "Yep your motor is shot."
I had them order a new motor installed 4 weeks later at 11:00 a.m. and still got charge
$85.00 just to install the motor, PLUS $875.00 for a new motor.

Another vote for Thumper's. He did ours and it rides up/down on a garage door channel. The bottom seal is like a garage door, not just a brush sweep. Thumper's replaces your noisy chain drive motor with 2 quiet belt drive 3/4hp units, one for the existing door and one for the new panel screen door. Quite an engineering feat. I'm impressed.

We talked about the motor before the purchase. I specified a heavy duty motor which was available.
Going strong since 2008 installation.
The track needs to be cleaned and sprayed with dry silicone for optimum performance and longevity.....which I do religiously every 3-4 months.
