Motorized porch screens in Longs.
Longs is golf-course country — newer homes, generous lanais and covered patios, and a lot of owners who moved here specifically to be outside. Shade Coast fits motorized porch and patio screens, retractable awnings, and hurricane shutters across Longs and the north Strand communities between here and North Myrtle Beach.
Lanai and
patio work
Longs homes are built with the outdoor room already there. Screening it in is usually a one-day job.

The lanai is already there. Make it a room.
Most Longs homes were built with a covered lanai or a deep back patio, which means the hard part is done. What is missing is the ability to close it in — against the low sun that sits on a west-facing patio all evening, and against the mosquitoes that come off the ponds and the golf-course water hazards after dusk.
A motorized porch screen does both. It drops from a housing tucked into the existing structure, so nothing is rebuilt, and it retracts completely when you want the space open again. For homes that sit empty part of the year, the screens can simply be left down.
- Motorized porch & patio screens — shade and insect mesh for lanais, covered patios, and screened rooms.
- Motorized exterior shades — for the west-facing patios that get unusable between five and eight in the evening.
- Retractable awnings — shade over the uncovered part of the deck or patio, motorized or hand-crank.
- Hurricane shutters — rated protection, easy to close, for homes that may be empty when a storm arrives.

questions.
What homeowners here ask us most.
Do you install motorized porch screens in Longs?
Yes. Longs and the surrounding north Strand golf communities are a regular service area for motorized porch and patio screens. Shade Coast measures at your home and quotes at no cost.
Can a screen be fitted to an existing lanai?
Almost always. Most Longs homes have a covered lanai or patio with sound structure to mount to, which means the housing tucks into what is already there and the install is usually completed in a day.
What if the house is empty for part of the year?
That is common here, and it shapes what we recommend. Screens can be left down while you are away, and for storm protection we tend to steer seasonal owners toward systems that stay on the building — accordion shutters or motorized roll-downs — rather than panels that have to be fitted by hand.
Do the mosquitoes off the golf course ponds get through?
Not through the right mesh. Standard insect mesh handles mosquitoes; if you are getting the smaller biting midges as well, we will fit the tighter no-see-um mesh instead.
Which north Strand areas do you cover?
Longs, Little River, North Myrtle Beach, Loris, and the golf communities in between.
