Products & Services

What products does The Screen Shoppe offer?

The Screen Shoppe offers three main product categories: motorized retractable screens, custom retractable awnings, and deck & porch enclosures. We provide the full range of outdoor shade, ventilation, and privacy solutions for residential and commercial properties in the Cincinnati, Ohio area.

What is a motorized retractable screen?

A motorized retractable screen is a custom-built screen system that rolls up or retracts into a housing when not in use, and lowers at the push of a button. These screens protect against insects, sun, wind, and weather while preserving your view and open-air feel. They are ideal for porches, patios, garages, and outdoor living spaces.

What is a retractable awning?

A retractable awning is a motorized or manual shade structure that extends over a patio, deck, or window to provide sun protection and outdoor comfort. The Screen Shoppe installs high-quality retractable awnings, including SunSetter brand awnings, that retract when not needed to protect the fabric from harsh weather.

What is a porch enclosure or deck enclosure?

A porch enclosure or deck enclosure is a screen or glass system that encloses an existing porch or deck, turning it into a comfortable, protected outdoor living space usable year-round. The Screen Shoppe installs custom screen enclosures that keep out insects and debris while maintaining an open, airy feel.

Do you sell and install custom window screens?

Yes. The Screen Shoppe provides custom window screens in a variety of sizes, styles, and screen mesh types. Whether you need replacement screens or custom-fit screens for non-standard windows, we can fabricate and install them for your home in the greater Cincinnati area.

Warranty & Maintenance

Contact us directly at (513) 774-8090 for detailed warranty information on the specific product you’re interested in.

How do I maintain or clean my retractable screens?

Retractable screens should be cleaned periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then rinsed gently. Avoid high-pressure washing, which can damage the screen mesh. The housing and track should also be kept free of debris. When not in use for extended periods, retracting the screens fully helps prolong their lifespan.

How do I maintain my retractable awning?

Retractable awnings should be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soap and water, and allowed to dry fully before retracting to prevent mold and mildew. During periods of heavy wind, rain, or snow, retract the awning completely to protect the fabric and frame. Annual inspection of the motor, arm joints, and fabric is recommended.
