Arizona homeowners love fresh desert evenings, but they don’t love the bugs, dust, and blazing sun that often come with an open doorway. A vanishing screen door—sometimes called a retractable or disappearing screen—lets you capture cross-breezes without sacrificing comfort or curb appeal. At CountBricks, we combine our AI-driven estimating engine, realtime material pricing, and skilled residential crews to make adding a vanishing screen AZ project straightforward, transparent, and budget friendly.
The screen’s mesh rolls into a slim housing mounted to the jamb. When you need airflow, it glides out on low-profile tracks; when you don’t, it retracts out of sight. The result is an unobstructed view and zero bulky swinging panels.
• Powder-coated aluminum cassette sized to your door opening
• UV-resistant mesh graded for Arizona sun exposure
• Magnetic or latch closure to keep the screen tight
• Adjustable speed dampers for smooth, quiet retraction
• Color-matched trim kits that blend with stucco, brick, or contemporary finishes
Running HVAC nonstop in the shoulder seasons can drive utility bills sky-high. A vanishing screen encourages passive cooling: pull in cooler night air and expel trapped warm air without introducing pests.
Pollen counts and desert dust storms rise every spring. CountBricks routinely specifies fine-weave mesh options that block particulates while allowing airflow, improving indoor comfort for allergy sufferers.
Realtors across Phoenix, Mesa, and Scottsdale report that buyers pay premiums for outdoor-indoor living upgrades. A discreet vanishing screen adds the wow factor without the visual clutter of a traditional storm door.
Forget week-long waits for quotes. Speak with our voice assistant, and CountBricks instantly captures your doorway dimensions, preferred finishes, and installation timeline.

CountBricks sources fiberglass or PET mesh rated up to 200°F and treated with UV inhibitors. Typical service life exceeds ten years under direct sun.
Our recommended systems include reinforced bars and wind-resistant side seals. During installation we anchor the cassette into structural framing, not just trim, ensuring stability.
We leverage custom extrusion partners to fabricate curved housings or double-screen setups that meet openings up to 12 feet wide. Upload a snapshot to CountBricks.com/consultation for a free feasibility check.
A single 36" exterior door with standard mesh starts around $725 installed, while an 8' sliding patio unit averages $1,450. CountBricks’ AI estimate reveals the line-item detail:
• Materials 55%

• Waste & sundries 5%
• Permitting & overhead 10%
No hidden extras—if lumber or aluminum pricing shifts before your scheduled date, our system flags it and lets you lock in or reschedule.
• Vacuum tracks quarterly to prevent grit buildup
• Rinse mesh with mild soap after dust storms
• Apply silicone spray to rollers each spring
With proper care, your vanishing screen will glide effortlessly for a decade or more.

A Mesa couple contacted CountBricks after struggling with sticky slider screens that blocked their mountain view. Using our voice estimate tool, they measured their 8' x 10' opening. Within five minutes the platform produced a fixed-price proposal, including a graphite cassette and solar-shield mesh designed for west-facing exposures.
• Pre-fabrication: Our AI takeoff exported exact cut lengths directly to the supplier, trimming lead time by three days.
• Installation: Two CountBricks techs arrived at 8 a.m., shimmed minor jamb irregularities, and mounted dual cassettes for bi-directional retractability.
• Commissioning: We calibrated closing tension to prevent snap-back and walked the homeowners through seasonal maintenance steps.
The owners now leave their patio doors open until midnight without insects, saving an estimated 18% on spring cooling costs. Their feedback, logged through the CountBricks app, scored the project 5/5 for “view preservation.”
• Opt for darker mesh colors; they improve outward visibility and resist UV glare.
• Request integrated pet guards if dogs or cats regularly push against the screen.
• Schedule a yearly CountBricks tune-up—our technicians adjust tension springs and lubricate rollers, extending component life.
