Retractable Screens

Pombo's installs custom retractable screens across Tampa Bay and surrounding communities, delivering flexible shade, privacy, and bug protection for Florida living.

Flexible Outdoor Comfort

Retractable screen installation in Tampa

Some days, a wide-open patio feels right. But other times, glare or bugs make it hard to enjoy being outside.

Retractable screens give you the option to adjust your space to match the moment. At Pombo's, we install retractable screens for homeowners across the Tampa Bay area. Our family has been serving this area for nearly two decades. We build everything ourselves, from the first sketch to final installation, using weather-tough materials that can handle the local heat, salt air, and wind. Whether you're covering a lanai, enclosing a breezeway, or giving your garage a new purpose, we'll help you find a screen system that fits.

Flexible outdoor comfort

Retractable screen protect you from sun and insects, but only when you want it.

When rolled down, the screen acts like a flexible wall. It filters light, creates privacy, and stops bugs. When retracted, it disappears into a small cassette along the top or side. This setup works well in areas where you don't want a permanent screen enclosure. It also solves problems for homes with wind exposure or changing light conditions throughout the day.

Manual and motorized screen options

Choose between simple or seamless retractable screen operation.

Some spaces only need a manual pull-down screen, while others benefit from full automation—and we can install either. Manual screens are sturdy, easy to operate, and perfect for smaller spans or patios that aren't used every day. They lock securely in place when lowered. Motorized systems add another level of convenience. Operated by a remote or wall switch—and in some cases integrated with smart home devices—they're ideal for larger openings, frequently used patios, or outdoor spaces designed for entertaining.

Where can retractable screens be installed?

You'll find retractable screens used in lots of different places around the home.

They're often installed on lanais, patios, garage openings, or any structure where airflow is important but full enclosure isn't needed. If you've got a pool cage with wide gaps, a patio that gets blasted with sun, or an outdoor kitchen that needs more privacy, retractable screens may be the right solution.

They're especially helpful in covered areas that need flexibility. When the weather is perfect, everything stays open. If the wind picks up or mosquitoes start showing up, you drop the screen. We can mount retractable screens flush to the structure for a clean look or integrate them into existing enclosures depending on the layout of your space.

Why homeowners in Tampa choose retractable screens

Flexible comfort for every season.

Unlike fixed panels or full enclosure systems, retractable screens let you fine-tune your outdoor setup day by day. They cut glare and solar heat without blocking the breeze, and they add privacy without closing off your view.

Some homeowners use them to create shaded breakfast nooks. Others add them around pool areas for seasonal bug protection. We've even installed retractables in garages, turning them into breezy workshops or weekend hangout spots.

In a warm, humid place like Tampa Bay, having the ability to shift between open-air and screened living means you'll enjoy your space more often, year-round.

Julie Mata Sanchez

We recently had our new pool cage installed after our old one (different contractor) was destroyed during Hurricane Milton. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice to go with Pombo's. The experience from the beginning with the planning and design of what we wanted was a great customer experience. Pombo's exceeded our expectations! Thank you very much!

Joseph Fagan

Pombo's went above and beyond in making our screen enclosure project a smooth operation, where we always felt well informed and safe in our decisions. Every aspect of the process was well explained. He pointed out every aspect that had to be considered, worked with our pool and gutter companies to connect jobs, and shared insight from his prior experience – we could not have asked for more.

I got my screen enclosure built with Pombo's. Everyone is super professional and they have very competitive rates, excellent work and finish. They explained all the different upgrades, prices, and suggested what made sense to me. They never tried to upsell or misinform. Easy schedule and super fast work. My screen enclosure turned out super cool and we enjoy it very much.

Frequently
asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our retractable screen services.

Most retractable screen installs can be completed in a single day. Once materials arrive and we've confirmed your dimensions, we'll schedule a firm installation date that works with your timeline.
Retractable systems use high-tension mesh designed to roll up smoothly and stay taut when extended. The screen housing protects it from damage, giving it a longer lifespan than most fixed screening.
Yes. We offer both hardwired and battery-powered options. We'll review which works best based on your setup and how often you plan to use the screen.
They provide a barrier but aren't designed to be waterproof walls. Retractable screens reduce wind and light rain—especially in covered areas—but won't fully seal off the space. They're best for cutting glare, boosting privacy, and keeping out insects.
In most cases, yes. As long as there's room for the housing unit and support brackets, we can retrofit retractable screens into existing structures. We'll check your space before recommending a setup.
Frames come in a range of finishes to match your home, and mesh options include standard insect screen, solar control mesh, and privacy fabrics. We'll show you samples during your consultation.
Very little. We recommend keeping the tracks free of dirt and occasionally rinsing the mesh. With proper care, retractable screens can last for years without issues.
Yes. By adding flexibility, comfort, and modern convenience to your outdoor spaces, retractable screens are an upgrade many buyers appreciate—especially in Florida's climate.
Manual models can be secured in place when lowered. Motorized versions often include side tracks that hold the screen taut, but they're not meant to replace security doors. We'll explain the differences during your consultation.
