Florida living is built around the outdoors, but between heat, bugs, and unpredictable storms, many patios sit unused for most of the year. What good is a beautiful lanai or balcony if it's too hot or too buggy to enjoy?
That’s why more Florida homeowners are turning to one simple, high-impact upgrade: motorized screens.
What started as a luxury feature is now considered essential in coastal neighborhoods across Sarasota, Venice, and Naples. Not just for show, but for comfort, value, and everyday living.
Why Motorized Screens Are Becoming a Must for Florida Homes
A Better Way to Live Outdoors
Motorized screens allow you to control your outdoor space with the touch of a button. Shade when you need it, privacy on demand, bug protection without chemicals or clunky zippers. And when the breeze is just right, your screens disappear, leaving nothing but open-air freedom.
These systems are built for Florida’s climate. The mesh filters out UV rays and heat, while still letting fresh air flow through. For many homeowners, it’s the difference between a patio that sits empty and a space that becomes their favorite room in the house.
Designed for Florida, Engineered for Durability
At Jansen Shutters & Specialties (JSS), we only install screen systems that meet Florida’s demanding conditions: corrosion-resistant tracks, weather-tough mesh, and smart-home integration powered by our partners at Somfy. Every system is installed with care and precision by our in-house technicians, never subcontracted, never rushed.
You don’t have to compromise beauty for protection. Our screen frames are designed to blend into your home’s style, whether you live in a modern build or a coastal cottage.
A Smart Investment
Motorized screens add real value. They increase usable square footage, make homes more appealing to buyers, and offer daily lifestyle improvements that most upgrades can't match. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or hosting a dinner party at dusk, your outdoor space becomes a place to relax, unwind, and live comfortably year-round.
Now that’s Florida living.
What Florida Homeowners Are Saying About Their Motorized Screens
Our customers often tell us the same thing: they didn’t realize how much they were missing until their screens were installed.
Comfort, convenience, and curb appeal, all in one upgrade.
“Jansen Shutters installed hurricane screens around our covered lanai and outdoor kitchen area. Well worth it if you can afford the expense. They are so easy to operate and look great. When the weather is bad it will add an outdoor area for us to hang out in and be well protected. From beginning of this project thru the install, every person we met was very professional, personable and cleaned up during and after their work was done. I can honestly say I would recommend them. Great job.”— Mary Anne Poch
