Custom Made and Installed With the Utmost of Attention and Care, Motorized Screens Provide a Classy, Convenient and Durable Solution for Beating Texas Heat and Mosquitoes
ome North Texans have opted to forgo the annual summer get-away to invest instead in creating their own backyard oasis where they can enjoy “stay-cations” any weekend. This seems like a smart decision that adds value in the present to everyday life, and also an investment likely to pay dividends in resale. But alas, our summer vacations occur simultaneously with the season when the Texas sun flexes its muscle in the mightiest form and Texas mosquitoes love to prove who's really in control on a balmy evening.

Justin subsequently formed KJ Custom Designs with his sister and brother-in-law, Teresa and Joe Staggs, and opened a showroom in Lewisville.
The primary distinguishing factor between Mirage and other manufacturers, Justin explained, is its continuous coil one-sided “zipper” which plays an essential role in helping the screen roll and unroll.

have proven to reduce callbacks for repairs to almost nil. Mirage also uses extruded aluminum components, stainless steel fasteners and offers a host of accessories including wind and sun sensors and timers that can be set to automate the raising and lowering of the motorized screens.
Mirage's limited lifetime warranty on material and workmanship guarantees the Power Screens to withstand most weather elements and breakage under normal use. The electrical motors are warranted for a period of five years and electronic components such as radio transmitters and receivers for one year, commencing from the date of satisfactory installation for the original purchaser.
