Fort Myers sits along the Caloosahatchee River, and that water pushes humidity above 80 percent on many summer mornings, well before the afternoon heat even sets in. Lee County falls under Florida’s Wind-Borne Debris Region, which means exterior openings are held to stricter wind-load standards than in much of the state.
SPF Screens & Awnings builds custom Motorized Retractable Screens, Retractable Awnings, and Hurricane Screens designed with these conditions in mind.
Our difference comes down to a few things:
Hurricane Ian hit Fort Myers hard, and a lot of the damage people remember from the coast and barrier islands had an inland counterpart too: widespread loss of roofing and screen enclosures well away from the water. That history is part of why so many Fort Myers homeowners are rebuilding with wind-rated protection this time around rather than standard screening. Add in the Caloosahatchee’s humidity and historic McGregor Boulevard’s older housing stock, and an outdoor space here benefits from being built for the whole picture, not just everyday sun.
All SPF Screens & Awnings retractable awnings and retractable roll down screens are designed and manufactured right here in the US, installed by factory trained technicians, with a factory-backed warranty. Our installations can be completed in as little as 15 days from the time you make your final design decisions.
A Fort Myers outdoor space has to hold up to river humidity, everyday Gulf Coast sun, and real storm-season wind risk. A specialist visits your home, reviews your lanai, patio, or pool enclosure, and recommends options built for Lee County’s specific requirements. Our designers handle measuring and design, and installation is completed by our trained installation partners.
