Builder Project Timeline

One aspect that we take pride and that our past track record confirms is that we don’t add work to a builder’s already busy schedule. We pride ourselves in providing the best product with top notch service delivered on time and installed correctly. We know that we only look good when the builder looks good. The following is a project timeline for Phantom Executive Motorized Retractable Screens:

Step 1: Bidding Process

A builder or homeowner can submit blueprint drawings or sizing for estimation for initial pricing.

Step 2: Framing

Specifications are provided outlining best practices for cavity construction, sidetrack recessing, and electrical requirements. It is during this step we will go over the relationship between recessed track placement and the cavity. If a standard aluminum housing is being used, you may skip the framing step. Requirements will be outlined in step three.

Step 3: On Site Consultation

A Phantom Screens certified technician will visit your project for onsite measurement and confirmation of mounting details and selections. During this time if your project is ready to move forward a final measure can be taken which requires mounting surfaces to be complete and flooring in. If the project is not to this phase, the technician will return upon completion.

Step 4: Product Ordering

Following onsite consultation a finalized bid will be sent. When selections have been confirmed, and the project is ready to move forward a deposit is required to place order. The typical lead time for the order is 4-6 weeks.

Step 5: Installation

The installation of Phantom Executive Motorized Retractable Screens is normally a 1-day process depending on the number of units to be installed. All installations are done by a Phantom Screens certified technician.
