Fort Myers Elite Patio Covers provides professional retractable & motorized lanai screens in Fort Myers, FL for residential and commercial properties across Southwest Florida. A retractable screen hands the opening back. Mesh rolls into a head box and disappears, which is the whole point on a house where the water view is the reason anyone bought it in the first place.
They earn their price in two situations here. A garage bay turned into a workshop or a hangout that still needs airflow, and a lanai opening too wide to screen permanently without dropping a post into the middle of the view. Anywhere else, a fixed screen panel does the same job for considerably less.
Wind is the limit the brochure leaves out. A large motorized screen left deployed in a gust will pull out of a weak track, so the systems worth buying use a positive retention edge, and the head box gets anchored into structure rather than into soffit. On the Gulf side we size conservatively and set the wind sensor to retract early.
Mesh in a retractable is a compromise you should make deliberately. Tight 20x20 rolls thicker and loads the motor harder, and along the canals and mangrove edges it is still the only mesh that stops no-see-ums. Inland at Lehigh Acres or Gateway, standard mesh rolls easier and is genuinely enough.
Motors and salt air do not get along. Tubular motors, limit switches and roller bearings are what fail first on Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva and out on Pine Island, and they want an annual rinse and stainless fixings. Out in Alva the same unit sits there being ignored for years.
For houses that empty in June the instruction is short: leave them up, not down. A screen parked in its head box for the summer survives the summer, and the box keeps ultraviolet off the fabric. That goes on the shutdown list, and we will come by and check it if nobody is here.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — powder-coated extruded aluminum framing, 20x20 no-see-um screen mesh, 18x14 standard insect screening, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, engineered footings and anchor embedment, hurricane uplift straps and tie-down connections — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Myers and nearby communities including Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, Bonita Springs.

Materials, equipment and how we do retractable & motorized lanai screens
The difference between retractable & motorized lanai screens that lasts and retractable & motorized lanai screens that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with powder-coated extruded aluminum framing, 20x20 no-see-um screen mesh, 18x14 standard insect screening, screw-chase and snap-cover extrusions, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Myers job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in Southwest Florida means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
