Motorized Outdoor Roller Shades in Cape Coral, FL

Motorized roller shades are the most popular outdoor shade product we install in Cape Coral. They mount above your lanai, patio, or porch opening and roll down at the push of a button. When you don't need them, they retract into a hidden housing.

These shades block 90 to 97 percent of UV rays depending on the fabric you choose. They cut the temperature under your covered area by 15 to 20 degrees. And they give you back outdoor space that was too hot to use from April through October.

How They Work

A motor inside the top housing rolls the fabric down along side guides. You control it with a handheld remote, a wall switch, a smartphone app, or voice commands through Alexa, Google, or Siri.

Most of our Cape Coral customers add weather sensors. A wind sensor retracts the shade automatically if gusts get too strong. A sun sensor deploys it when UV intensity reaches a set level. You set it up once and the system handles the rest.

Fabric Options

We carry three main fabric types. Solar mesh is the most popular — it blocks heat and UV while letting you see through to the outside. It comes in openness levels from 1% (nearly opaque) to 10% (more see-through).

Privacy fabric blocks the view from outside completely. Blackout fabric blocks all light. Insect mesh keeps mosquitoes and no-see-ums out without blocking airflow.

Built for Cape Coral Conditions

Every roller shade system we install uses marine-grade stainless steel hardware and powder-coated aluminum housing. Standard hardware corrodes within months near Cape Coral's canals. We use 316 stainless steel rated for direct saltwater environments.

Motor options include hardwired 120V for the most reliable operation, solar-powered for locations where wiring is difficult, and rechargeable battery for quick retrofits.

Size and Coverage

Single units cover openings up to 20 feet wide and 16 feet tall. Larger lanai openings use multiple units mounted side by side. Each unit operates independently, so you can shade one section of your lanai while leaving another open.

What It Costs

Motorized outdoor roller shades typically cost $1,500 to $5,000 per opening, installed. Price depends on the size of the opening, fabric type, and motor configuration. We provide exact pricing during your free on-site estimate.
