Greenacres sits in central Palm Beach County between Lake Worth Beach to the east and Royal Palm Beach to the west. It’s a mid-density residential community with a housing stock that spans several decades of South Florida construction. Like much of the county, a significant share of the homes here were built before the post-Andrew code revisions and have windows and doors that don’t meet current wind resistance standards. Awning Stars installs roll-down hurricane screens in Greenacres. Systems are custom-fabricated for your home’s openings and installed under Palm Beach County permit.
What Makes Greenacres Installations Specific
Dense residential lots. Greenacres has tighter lot setbacks than western Palm Beach County communities, which can affect installation logistics for motorized systems requiring electrical runs. We account for this during the site visit.
Mid-century and post-Andrew construction mix. The diversity of construction eras in Greenacres means we see a wide range of opening types and sizes. Custom fabrication handles non-standard sizes that off-the-shelf products can’t accommodate.
Value-focused homeowners. Greenacres homeowners tend to prioritize cost-effectiveness. Manual hurricane screens are a strong option here for homeowners who want full storm protection without the motorized premium. Call 561.909.8068 for a free quote.
Motorized Patio Screens for Everyday Use in Greenacres
Storm protection is only one reason Greenacres homeowners use motorized patio screens. With the appropriate screen fabric, the system can reduce glare, add privacy, keep insects out, and make a patio or lanai more comfortable while maintaining airflow and the outward view. The screen retracts when an open-air space is preferred.
Every opening is measured for the home rather than treated as a standard size. Even inland Greenacres properties need a system sized and mounted for local wind-load requirements, especially across wide patio and lanai openings. Awning Stars handles the permitting and installation requirements for the selected system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do hurricane screens meet code in Greenacres?
Yes. The fabric we install is Miami-Dade approved under NOA #21-0512.04 and is the only roll-down fabric approved for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Palm Beach County is not an HVHZ jurisdiction, so these screens meet a standard stricter than Greenacres requires, which is the level of protection you want when a storm turns.
Can I use them on non-storm days?
Yes. They filter about 88% of UV, cut energy costs, and keep insects, rodents, and most animals off the patio, so Greenacres homeowners run them year round and close them down only when a storm approaches.
What warranty comes with the screens?
A 10-year transferable warranty on the fabric and a 5-year warranty on the motor. The transferable coverage carries over if you sell the Greenacres home.
Do they work for HOA communities?
Yes. Many Greenacres communities have architectural guidelines, and the screens come in colors and finishes that fit HOA review. We handle permitting through the Greenacres building department.
Do I need a permit for hurricane screens in Greenacres?
Yes. Greenacres screens are permitted through the Greenacres building department to Palm Beach County wind-load requirements, and we pull and manage that permit as part of the install.
Why do Greenacres homes need hurricane screens?
Greenacres sits inland in Palm Beach County, and screens protect large patio and lanai openings that are hard to cover any other way.
