How long does installation take?

Most Fenetex systems are manufactured specifically for your project and typically arrive within several weeks of ordering. On-site installation time varies with project size and complexity, but most residential installs are completed within a day or two. Larger multi-opening projects, like wrapping an entire outdoor kitchen or a wraparound porch, may take a bit longer to wire and calibrate correctly, and we’ll always give you a realistic timeline up front.

Can Fenetex screens be controlled with a smartphone?

Yes. Many Fenetex motorized screens integrate with smart home and home automation platforms, so you can control screens remotely, set schedules, or trigger them alongside other smart devices. Most homeowners also use a simple wall switch or included remote day to day.

Are Fenetex screens custom built?

Absolutely. Every screen is manufactured to your exact opening on Fenetex’s production line, there’s no one-size-fits-all unit. Learn more about why we chose Fenetex as our exclusive screen system.

Do Fenetex screens come with a warranty?

Yes. Fenetex offers one of the strongest warranties in the industry, covering the motor, components, and fabric against defects. As your authorized Fenetex dealer, we also remain your local point of contact for any warranty service, so you are not stuck calling a national call center. Contact us for current warranty terms.

Will motorized screens hold up to Oregon’s wind and rain?

Yes. Fenetex’s marine-grade materials, powder-coated aluminum, and self-tensioning design are built for exactly this kind of climate. These Fenetex motorized screens are designed to perform through wind and rain, not just fair weather, and the self-tensioning track keeps the fabric from sagging or binding even after repeated storms.

What’s the difference between insect, shade, and clear screens?

Insect screens keep bugs out while letting air through, shade screens block sun and glare, and clear screens add a transparent barrier against wind and rain while preserving your view. Many homeowners combine more than one type of Fenetex motorized screen on the same structure, using clear screens on the windward side and shade screens facing the afternoon sun, for example. See Screen Types for details on each option.

Do you serve my area?

Oregon Motorized Screens installs throughout Oregon, from the coast to the valley to east of the Cascades. Contact us to confirm availability and scheduling for your project.

How do I maintain my Fenetex motorized screens?

Maintenance is minimal. A rinse with water and a soft cloth or brush a few times a year keeps the screen material free of dust and pollen, and because the screens retract fully when not in use, they aren’t exposed to sun and weather around the clock. If a screen ever starts tracking unevenly, our team can re-tension it during a quick service visit, one more reason it helps to work with a local Fenetex dealer instead of an installer who has moved on to the next region.

How much do Fenetex motorized screens cost?

Pricing depends on the number of openings, total width and height, and which screen type or combination you choose, so costs vary from project to project. The best way to get an accurate number is a free consultation, where we measure your space and walk through options before providing a clear, itemized quote, with no obligation to move forward, so you can compare it against other estimates before deciding.
