We called Retractable Outdoor Solutions because we could not get our screened properly fixed by the original installers. Our screen was only one year old and had numerous issues. This company came out fixed my screen and they were professional, nice and came when they said they would. I HIGHLY recommend them. Very pleased with their work!Posted on Patrick & Chris RossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Faye was as so helpful and knowledgeable regarding questions we had about our retractable garage door screen. They ordered the part we needed and gave us a timeframe for the installation. Arrived promptly at the time scheduled, completed the repair and installed the new part. Retractable Outdoor Solutions is a small family owned company with the goal of providing the best quality of service for a fair price. Brian completed the job and answered our questions. Thank you, Pat and Chris R.Posted on Angie STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great customer experience!! Great prices!! Very responsive and always have equipment needed!! We’ve tried three other companies, all of them would either half fix things, not have products, or not even return our phone calls. This company was very attentive, had answers, and have been great about answering calls and questions.Posted on Leonora TrybusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful company; up -front and honest with much expertise in the large garage screen industry. If you are looking for a large garage, motorized screen , they are the ones to hire!Posted on Deacon MaldonadoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company is fantastic! When they came out and put up the screen it looked beautiful. Brian, the technician was fantastic. him and his helper put it up quickly and neatly. The screen completely changed the feel of my patio. Before i couldn't sit on my patio without getting bitten by mosquitos, now i can sit on my patio and not have to worry about any bugs getting in. 10/10 i would recommend this company.Posted on ed smithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you have a garage screen now or thinking of getting one, let me tell you, my story. In 2022 I had one installed by Barlow’s Tri-County Screens. I live in The Villages and my friend used them. I had no problems until March 2025 when my niece was visiting and held the remote close button down too long and locked up the system. I called Barlow’s and got the recorder. Bottom line, do not use that company. Took days to return my calls (7) all together. I ended up calling Screen America, the company that builds them. I told them about my calls not being returned and they said they would call and that is when they called me back. I will not go into the problems I had but I ended up calling the manufacturer again after all of my remotes would not work and my car was in the garage. They gave me Faye Reddock another dealer to see if they could walk me through being able to open my screen. It was near 5pm and Faye answered the call. Bottom line they came to my home in The Villages from Clermont an hour away and was at my home by 6 pm. Fixed the screen, ended up giving me a new remote and did not charge me for the call. I had just paid Barlow the same day $80 for a service call. (By the way after 3 or more calls that day letting Barlow know my car was in the garage I got a call at close to 11pm from Barlow telling me they could come out the next day. I told them the screen was fixed and I did not need his service. Guess who I call the next time I need help? Faye Reddock at 352-936-0257 is the best.

Retractable Outdoor Solutions was great to work with and did a fantastic job replacing our outdoor retractable screen. Faye and Brian were very responsive and knowledgeable about our product.
