Florida Late Fall GutterGuard® Solution

Florida tree in Fall colors Trees shed their leaves late in Florida which affects when roof gutters get plugged up. Going by the calendar, Fall in Central Florida begins in September yet foliage usually falls later, so December could be the right time to install a Florida late Fall GutterGuard® solution.

Roll Screen Solutions LLC provides sales and installation of this unique roof gutter system for keeping gutters clean from leaves and other debris.

Our service area includes Orlando and the surrounding communities of Central Florida.

Imagine the advantages of being able to eliminate gutter cleaning forever, filter out all debris from your gutter, and have a first stage filter if you have a rain harvesting system.

Our gutter screen systems are designed with top quality materials for superior performance and built to last.

People falling from ladders is one of the most common preventable home accidents, and the annual ritual of cleaning roof gutters is especially dangerous due to the height. Why risk injury when a GutterGuard® can save you the headaches of cleaning gutters every year?

Bad Things Happening to Good Screens

child at patio retractable screen The high quality retractable screen products from Roll Screen Solutions are designed with top quality materials for years of use, yet like most products our screens are not rated indestructible.

While mishaps with your retractable screen may be suitable for America’s Funniest Home Videos, the damage may not be covered by warranty and could cost you for repair, replacement, and service.

Here are some retractable screen tips to extend the useful life of your retractable window, door, or patio screens to avoid bad things happening to good screens.

Children or pets may push on screens thinking the structure is solid when in fact they are not locked in place, and are designed so the magnet may release. To avoid damage a childproof gate may be appropriate for pets or toddlers. Retractable screens are not intended as a substitute for an enclosure or fence.

Bigger kids, and certainly adults, have been known to walk into glass sliding doors and are just as likely to walk into a retractable screen. If they do then the door is designed for the pull bar to release the magnet, yet significant damage may occur.

Decorative decals at eye level may help avoid this type of mishap, yet the real solution if keeping people mindful the retractable screen is there.

Finally, you may notice loose screens caused by a person or gust of wind so that the screen is off the track. Though rare, it could happen and keep in mind retractable screens are not connected at the top and bottom guides when your screen door is in use. Don’t try to force it back into place, but instead be careful as you fully retract the screen. It should reset itself back into the track.

Use this advice to avoid the cost of non-warranty bad things happening to good screens.

Retrofit or New Construction Screens

In choosing a shade solution with retractable roll screens, homeowners have the option of retrofit or new construction screens for their home. View the photos below for an example of a motorized retractable screen for new construction.

We can work with you, the custom home builder, or your architect to design the perfect solution in manual or motorized roll shade screens.

This first photo (above left) shows archways leading to the pool and patio area of a new home construction project.

Note the slots for the screens in the vertical column and the header compartment at the top that holds the screen in the rolled up postion.

The next view (above right) is from the outside showing screens at each opening in different levels of being raised.

Looking from the outside you can still see the column slots yet the roll up compartment is hidden from view. Certainly it is more cost effective and aesthetically pleasing to have roll screens designed-in during the custom home construction planning phase.

However, our products are designed to retrofit in custom applications so that they look like part of the original plan.

Depending on the shape of the opening we will suggest the best option with the screen mounted inside, outside, or within the opening. Questions? Call for a prompt reply today!

Working with Florida Home Builders

architect floor plan drawing When it comes to specifying high quality retractable awnings and retractable shade screens, we specialize in working with Florida home builders. Contractors building homes in the Orlando area of Central Florida wake up every day ready to perform a juggling act.

We’re not talking about the circus. Keeping a project on time and within budget takes a great deal of skill when coordinating all the resources for building a luxury home.

The demand for retractable shade screens and retractable awnings in Orlando and the surrounding communities has skyrocketed in recent years. Home and business owners are looking to retrofit existing construction with shade solutions including screens and awnings for the comfort of their family and customers.

As a result, architects and home builders now specify these high quality shade screen and retractable awnings in their blueprints for the new construction phase. In addition, we can assist in the design phase for retrofit of exisiting openings for your home or business.

Keep in mind the price tag on a retrofit as an afterthought is usually more, so specifying screens or awnings up front is more cost effective for the home builder, architect, and homeowner.

If requested by the homeowner half way through construction, the added work and delays may affect the bottom line and meeting any deadlines. In addition, motorized versions of retractable awnings and screens require power, so advance planning for electrical connections means lower overall cost for the builder and homeowner, as well.

Again, Roll Screen Solutions LLC specializes in sales and installation of high quality retractable awnings and retractable shade screens. Contact us for help or ask questions in the design phase to learn more about our reputation for working with Florida home builders and architects.
