MOTORIZED RETRACTABLE SCREENS
MagnaTrack Motorized Retractable Screens in Sioux Falls, SD
MagnaTrack motorized retractable screens for porches, decks, pergolas, and garages in Sioux Falls, SD. Qualified Carpentry is one of very few preferred MagnaTrack installers in South Dakota.
THE SERVICE
A Motorized Screen System Built for South Dakota Weather
South Dakota gives you sun, wind, dust, and mosquitoes, often in the same afternoon. A motorized retractable screen turns a covered porch, deck, or pergola into a room you can actually sit in, then rolls away completely when you want the space wide open.
MagnaTrack uses a magnetic track system, so the screen stays locked in place through gusts that pop a standard track screen out of its channel. The screens run on a quiet motor with remote or wall-switch control, and they retract into a low-profile housing you barely notice when they are up.
Qualified Carpentry is a preferred MagnaTrack partner, one of very few contractors in South Dakota authorized to install this system. Todd Nelson handles the measuring, framing, and installation himself, whether the screens go into a brand-new pergola build or an existing porch.
Because Todd is a licensed general contractor, he can also build or modify the structure the screens mount into: headers, columns, soffits, and trim all get done right rather than worked around.

THE PROCESS
How a Motorized Retractable Screens Project Works
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough, here is exactly what to expect.
1. Tell Todd About the Project
Call 605-212-6318 or send the details through the estimate form. Todd answers his own phone. You are not routed to a call center or handed to a salesperson.
2. Measurements & Details
Most projects need measurements and a clear picture of the existing conditions before anything can be priced. Todd gathers what he needs, in person when the job calls for it.
3. Current Vendor Pricing
Estimates are not handed out on the spot. Materials, cabinets, windows, and specialty products are quoted with vendors so the number you receive reflects current pricing.
4. Written Estimate
You get a written estimate covering scope, materials, and what is included, so there are no surprises once work begins.
5. Build & Final Walkthrough
Todd does the work himself with a small trusted crew, keeps the site clean, and walks the finished project with you before it is called done.
What Affects the Cost of a Motorized Retractable Screens Project
No two motorized retractable screens projects price the same, and Todd will not guess at a number to win the job. Here is what moves the price up or down. And what he looks at before writing your estimate.

FAQ
Motorized Retractable Screens FAQs
Common questions about motorized retractable screens in Sioux Falls, SD.
What is a MagnaTrack motorized retractable screen?
MagnaTrack is a motorized retractable screen system that uses magnetic side tracks to hold the screen in place. It rolls away out of sight when not in use and holds firm in wind instead of popping out of the track like conventional screens.
Is Qualified Carpentry an authorized MagnaTrack installer?
Yes. Todd Nelson is an authorized MagnaTrack installer and one of very few contractors in South Dakota certified for this system. He measures, orders and installs each screen himself, and Qualified Carpentry is licensed, bonded and insured.
Where can motorized screens be installed?
Covered porches, decks under roof, pergolas with a solid top, patio covers, three-season rooms and garage openings all work. Todd Nelson evaluates the opening, the header and the power supply during the measurement visit before anything is ordered.
Do motorized screens work in South Dakota wind?
That is the reason for the magnetic track. Conventional screens blow out of side channels, while MagnaTrack holds the screen edge magnetically and releases and resets rather than tearing. Todd Nelson sets the system so it performs through Sioux Falls wind.
Can screens be added to an existing porch?
Yes. Retrofits are common. Todd Nelson adds MagnaTrack systems to existing covered porches, patio covers and garage openings, framing and trimming the head and side tracks so the installation looks built in rather than added on.
How are motorized screens operated?
By remote, wall switch or home automation, depending on how the system is configured. Todd Nelson coordinates the electrical rough-in with a trusted electrician when new power is needed and sets the limits so the screen stops exactly where it should.
