Garage door screens
Garage door screens
The customer says what the screen is for and gets a system and a mesh to start with, picks them on pictures of the same garage, and sees on a 3D model what a neighbor sees through each mesh and what they see looking out.
Demo version: submitting shows the completion screen, nothing is saved. Prices are ballpark.

How it works
For companies that sell and install garage door screens. The customer starts on pictures of the same two-car garage, choosing a lift-up screen on its own tracks with a walk-through passage door, sliding panels, or a motorized roll-down screen with a housing and side tracks. Then the reason: bugs, no-see-ums, heat and glare, privacy from the street, pets, or using the garage as a room; which way the garage faces and whether a car goes in and out every day. From that the form names a system and a mesh to start with and says why, and one button takes the pick. Then the mesh on close-ups of the same opening (standard insect, no-see-um, pet-resistant, solar 80%, privacy solar 90%); the frame color; the size the trade lists (8×7 to 18×8 or a custom opening in inches) and one, two or three openings. Every choice moves a 3D model of the garage with its door rolled up and the screen in the opening: one button opens and closes the screen the way that system really moves, another seats the visitor at the back of the garage looking out at the street, so a mesh that hides the garage from the driveway and still lets you see out is shown instead of explained. A motorized screen takes a wall switch, a phone app, a sun and wind sensor, obstacle detection and extra remotes. Then what the installer asks before the visit: the garage door that stays, the headroom above the opening, an outlet for the motor, the slope of the floor, an old screen to take down, the HOA. One switch in the panel shows or hides the price range; the PDF estimate is on Letter paper.
What this example shows
- Asks what the screen is for, the way the garage faces and how people go in and out, and names a system and a mesh to start with, with the reason; one button takes the pick
- Three systems on pictures of the same two-car garage: a lift-up screen with a passage door, sliding panels, a motorized roll-down; five meshes on close-ups of the same opening
- 3D model of the garage with its door rolled up: compare screen movement and illustrative views through the selected mesh from inside and outside
- A second button seats the visitor inside the garage looking out through the mesh, so privacy from the street and the view out are compared on screen
- Standard sizes in feet or a custom opening in inches, one to three openings, frame colors, and the controls of a motorized screen: wall switch, phone app, sun and wind sensor, obstacle detection, remotes
- Installer realities: the garage door that stays, headroom, an outlet for the motor, the floor at the opening, an old screen to remove, the HOA; a price range that one switch in the panel shows or hides and a PDF estimate on Letter paper
For garage screen dealers and installers
A garage door screen quote calculator estimates a screen installation from the selected system, mesh, opening size, controls, and site conditions. This example collects how the homeowner uses the garage and suggests a starting configuration. Your team receives the choices and an estimate to review during the measuring visit.
Start with how the customer uses the garage
A garage used for daily parking prompts a different conversation from one used as a workshop with frequent foot traffic. The example asks about access, the direction the garage faces, and the customer's priorities: insects, shade, privacy, pets, or extra usable space. It suggests a system and mesh with an explanation, then lets the customer change them.
Pictures show lift-up, sliding, and motorized systems alongside the available meshes. The 3D model illustrates how the selected screen opens and provides views from the driveway and inside the garage. Those views help explain the choices before a visit; your team confirms the actual product and finish with the customer.
A garage door screen quote that includes installation
Each system starts with a base charge plus a rate per square foot of opening. The example then applies the selected mesh, frame-color, custom-size, and extra-height surcharges. Standard sizes use feet in their labels; custom dimensions are entered in inches and converted for pricing.
Controls and site work have their own charges. A wall switch or obstacle sensor is priced per opening, while the app-control hub and sun-and-wind sensor are charged once per garage. Installation, low-headroom mounting, and old-screen removal follow the opening count. The multiple-opening discount applies to screens and options, leaving site work outside that discount. This makes the total more useful than a screen-only starting price.
Know what needs checking before the measuring visit
Opening dimensions are only part of the request. The homeowner identifies the existing garage-door type, available headroom, floor condition, and whether a motorized screen would need an outlet. They can flag an old screen for removal and add HOA notes. Unknown headroom or outlet details can be left for the visit.
Your team receives these answers with the chosen system, mesh, controls, property address, timing, and contact details. A Letter-size PDF records the configuration and, when enabled, the estimate breakdown. The installer still measures the opening and clearances and checks how the existing door operates. Sending the request does not confirm product fit, HOA approval, or an installation appointment.
Set rates for your screen packages and installation work
The panel holds each system's base and area rates, mesh and frame surcharges, options, installation charges, and discounts. You can also update the expected time to a measuring visit, installation lead time, promotions, range width, estimate validity, and price visibility. These settings let the estimate follow the packages your company actually sells.
For setup, bring sample quotes for a standard lift-up screen, a custom motorized opening, and two matching screens sharing controls. Check which extras are charged once and which repeat with each opening. This example uses one size and configuration for all selected openings; jobs with different sizes or systems need a separate configuration workflow.
Questions from businesses in this trade
Does the screen calculator confirm compatibility with the existing garage door?
No. It collects the door type and reported headroom so your installer knows what to check. The measuring visit confirms the clearances, mounting arrangement, and how the existing door operates before you issue a firm quote.
Can customers quote several openings with different sizes?
The example supports one to three openings using the same size, system, mesh, and options. It multiplies the relevant charges by that quantity. If your jobs need a separate configuration for each opening, we adapt the calculator during setup.
Are shared controls charged again for every motorized screen?
The app-control hub and sun-and-wind sensor are charged once per garage in this example. Wall switches and obstacle sensors are charged per opening. Each motorized screen includes one remote, with extra remotes priced by the additional quantity selected.
Does the 3D preview show exactly how the mesh will look at the property?
It illustrates the selected mesh and screen movement in the demonstration garage. It is not a simulation of the customer's property or a measured privacy or shading result. Use the preview to discuss preferences, then confirm the product with your samples and specifications.
Can we show the screen choices and provide pricing after measuring?
Yes. Turn off “Show the price range” in the panel. Customers still submit their configuration and receive a PDF summary without the cost section, while your team keeps the internal estimate for preparing the quote after the visit.
