Surrey homes have changed a lot over the last couple of decades. Newer builds in Morgan Creek, Grandview Heights and Clayton often come with wide sliding walls, folding glass doors and covered patios that open the living room straight onto the yard. Those openings are fantastic until the bugs find them.
We install retractable screens sized for exactly these spaces, so you can leave a wall of glass open on a summer evening without inviting every mosquito on the block inside.
We work with the Mirage 3500, a retractable screen built specifically for wide and tall openings. The mesh rolls into a slim housing when you don't need it and pulls across the opening when you do. When it's retracted, you barely notice it's there.
You can read more about the product line on our large opening retractable screens page.
Surrey sits on low ground between the Fraser River, the Serpentine and the Nicomekl. That means a long, damp spring and plenty of standing water, which is exactly what mosquitoes like. Homes near the farmland in Cloverdale or the river flats around Mud Bay usually notice it most once the warm evenings arrive.
Summers here are warm and dry enough that most families want the house open from late afternoon on. A large opening screen lets cross breezes do the cooling work, so you lean on the air conditioning less. In South Surrey and near Crescent Beach, where the wind can come up off Boundary Bay, the screen also cuts down on blowing leaves and debris tracking inside.
Large openings are rarely perfectly square, especially in older homes in Fleetwood, Newton or Guildford where houses have had a few decades to settle. That is why we measure every opening in person instead of guessing from photos.

Retractable screens are all we do. A general contractor or handyman can hang a basic screen door, but a wide opening screen has to track straight, hold tension and stay smooth year after year. Small mounting mistakes show up quickly as sagging mesh or a screen that drags in its guides.
Because we focus on one product category, we know how these screens behave on different frames, from vinyl sliders in Panorama Ridge townhomes to custom wood folding doors in South Surrey. We also know which options are worth paying for and which ones you can skip.
Our customers tell us the same few things in their Google reviews: we show up when we say we will, we explain things clearly and we answer the phone after the job is done. We keep appointments on time because we know you are fitting us in around work and family.
We are a local Lower Mainland business, and we serve Surrey alongside Langley, White Rock and both North and South Delta. If something needs adjusting down the road, you are calling the same people who installed it.
If you have a wide sliding wall, folding door or patio opening in Surrey that you'd love to keep open all summer, we'd be happy to come take a look. Book an in-home consultation and we'll measure up and walk you through your options.
