Five Things Motorized Patio Shades Solve
Retractable shades are usually bought to solve one specific problem, and most owners discover the other four afterward. Privacy, insects, sun and heat, everyday convenience, and weather resistance are what the system handles, and the fabric and hardware choices are made based on whichever matters most to you.

Privacy on Demand for Porches and Patios
Ultimate Privacy Control
Shade Doctor's Retractable shades allow you to shield outdoor spaces from outside view with just a touch, creating a private sanctuary on demand, then roll away when you want the view back.
Customizable Coverage
Ideal for porches, patios, pools and windows, these shades offer on-the-spot privacy adjustments, perfect for families, businesses and entertaining. Openness percentage sets how much you keep: open mesh holds the view and breeze, low openness gives full privacy.

Insect Protection for Porches and Patios
Insect-Free Outdoor Living
Enjoy a comfortable, insect-free space with shades that provide a barrier against flies, mosquitoes, and other pests.
Full Perimeter Insect Seal
Side tracks and a weighted bottom bar close the gaps along the edges and floor, which is where insects get through on a loose hanging shade or a poorly fitted screen. That matters most on porches and patios used at dusk, when mosquito activity peaks.

Sun, Heat and UV Protection
Shield from Harmful UV Rays
Shade Doctor’s Xray shades block up to 90% of UV rays, reducing harmful exposure and protecting furniture, flooring, and décor from fading.
Energy Savings
By lowering heat and reducing glare, our shades help manage indoor temperatures efficiently, leading to noticeable savings on cooling costs. Blocking sun before it reaches the glass is more effective than cooling the room afterward.

Remote, App and Smart Home Control
Effortless Control
Our advanced motorized systems offer seamless operation through remote controls, app integration and compatibility with popular smart home systems, so shades can run on a schedule or close when the afternoon sun hits.
Quiet and Reliable
Smooth, quiet motors and robust hardware provide a reliable, premium experience every time you use them.

Wind Resistance and Weather Durability
Wind Resistance
Built to withstand winds up to 105 mph, our shades offer resilience and security in varying weather conditions. Side tracks and a weighted bottom bar are what deliver that rating.
Durable in All Seasons
Designed with high-quality, weather-resistant materials, Shade Doctor shades endure sun, rain and wind, backed by a lifetime hardware warranty, 15 years on fabric and mesh and 10 years on motors and controls.

Frequently Asked Questions about Motorized Shades
How do I control my retractable shades?
Our shades are available with remote controls and can be integrated with smart home systems, offering effortless control.
What color and material options are available for retractable shades?
Choose from a wide variety of colors, opacities, and styles to complement any décor. Our team assists in selecting the best options to meet your needs.
How does the warranty work for retractable shades?
Our industry-leading warranty includes lifetime hardware coverage, up to 15 years for fabric and mesh, and 10-year for motors and controls.
How much do motorized patio shades cost?
Cost depends on the width and drop of the opening, the fabric and mesh you select, the control system, and whether the structure needs a beam buildout, angled wall buildout or coping to mount to. Custom buildouts are quoted as part of the same project rather than billed separately. Every estimate is free and comes back as a firm number after an on-site measure.
How do retractable shades work?
A fabric or solar mesh screen is wound on a roller tube inside a housing at the top of the opening. At the touch of a button the shade rolls down into side tracks on either side, and a weighted bottom bar holds it taut against wind. The motor is powered by battery, a plug-in transformer or hardwiring, depending on the installation.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in just one day! Larger or more complex projects may take longer. Our team will review your expected installation timeframe with you when scheduling.
