San Marcos Motorized Screens
Motorized Screens in San Marcos
San Marcos has grown into one of the more livable cities in North County, and a lot of that comes down to the neighborhoods and the quality of the housing. Newer communities here tend to come with solid outdoor setups: covered patios, backyard entertaining areas, wide sliding doors that open onto decks. Those spaces are worth investing in. If yours isn’t getting used as much as it should, motorized retractable screens are a practical fix.
Breeze Screens installs motorized screens throughout San Marcos and the rest of San Diego County. We’re a mobile operation, so we come to your home, take measurements in person, and handle the full installation on-site. No showrooms, no drop-offs. We work around your schedule and get it done at your place.
Getting More Out of Your Outdoor Space in San Marcos
San Marcos sits far enough inland that summer afternoons get genuinely warm. You’re not getting the marine layer that keeps coastal neighborhoods cooler mid-afternoon, and west-facing patios can take a beating from the sun. Without some way to manage heat and light, those outdoor spaces end up sitting empty through the warmest part of the day and into peak summer.
Motorized sun control screens cut solar heat and glare while still allowing airflow, which makes a covered patio or pergola usable through more of the day. A lot of San Marcos homeowners use them to turn their covered outdoor areas into functional rooms for most of the year, including the months when direct sun would otherwise make it too uncomfortable.
Insects are a factor here too, particularly through summer evenings and into fall. A motorized insect screen retracts fully when you don’t need it, so your outdoor space stays open and unobstructed the rest of the time. When the mosquitoes come out, one button takes care of it.
What Makes Motorized Screens Different
The main advantage over standard screen doors is flexibility for large, wide, or non-standard openings. Screen doors have a practical width limit. Once you’re dealing with a 10, 12, or 15-foot opening, or a covered porch area you want to screen across multiple sides, standard options don’t cut it.
Motorized screens mount above the opening in a compact housing and roll down on command via remote control, wall switch, or smart home integration. When they’re retracted, they’re barely visible and don’t affect your view or the look of the space. When they’re down, you’ve got a clean, functional screened area without the look of permanent screening.

What We Install in San Marcos
In San Marcos, most of our motorized screen work involves large covered patio openings, outdoor kitchens, and wide back porch areas. Beyond motorized screens, we also install sliding screen doors, window screens, garage door screens, and pet-proof screens throughout the area.
We select products based on your specific opening, the direction it faces, and what you’re actually trying to accomplish. There’s no one recommendation that works for every home. A patio that gets full western sun all afternoon needs a different screen than one that’s mostly shaded and primarily needs insect protection.
If you’re also looking at standard screen door options for other openings in your home, our San Marcos screen door installation page covers that side of what we do.
A Family Business That Does Its Own Work
Breeze Screens is a family-owned, locally operated company serving San Diego County. We’re a licensed contractor, and we handle our own installations. There’s no subcontracting, no handoff to another crew. The people you talk to are connected to the team doing the work.
That matters when things need to be done right. We give you a full written estimate before any work starts so there are no surprises. If your space has something unusual about it, like an irregular opening or a mounting situation that needs a different approach, you’ll know upfront rather than after the fact.
We’re a mobile service, which means we come to you and schedule around your availability. Same-day appointments are available when scheduling allows, which is useful when you’re ready to move and don’t want to wait.
What to Expect
The process is simple. You reach out, we set up a time to visit your San Marcos home, and we assess the space in person. We’ll take measurements on-site, walk you through the product options that genuinely fit your opening, and give you a clear estimate before anything is committed.
Most installations are completed in a single visit once the job is approved. If anything comes up on the day that needs to be addressed, we handle it on the spot.
