We are an authorized Phantom dealer. A Phantom retractable screen rolls away into a slim housing when you are not using it, so the patio opening is clear glass and view the rest of the time. No screen door parked across your doorway.
Our Phantom prices are published rather than held back for an appointment: $795 installed for a single door up to 48 inches, $1,495 for a double up to 96 inches, and a quote after measuring for anything wider.

Why people put these on a Chula Vista patio
The wide patio opening that comes with almost every Chula Vista tract home is the reason. A conventional sliding screen door is permanently in the way: it blocks part of the opening, it collects dust in the track, and on a door you use every day it is the component that wears out first.
A retractable screen is only there when you pull it across. The rest of the time it is rolled into a housing at the edge of the opening, out of the weather and out of the view. For a west-facing Chula Vista patio you actually sit on in the evening, that is a different experience from a screen door that sticks.
They also solve the openings a standard door cannot: French doors, in-swing doors, very wide sliders, and single entry doors where nobody makes a conventional screen that fits.
What it costs
We publish our Phantom prices instead of making you sit through an appointment to hear one. A Phantom Legacy single door is $795 installed on an opening up to 48 inches wide. A double Phantom — two units meeting in the middle, which is what most French door and patio openings take — is $1,495 installed on an opening up to 96 inches. Phantom XL for wide multi-panel openings up to 15 feet, and motorized patio screens up to 40 feet, are quoted after we measure, because those openings vary too much to price off a chart. Service or repair on a retractable door already in place is $195 plus parts. Those are installed prices, not the cost of a unit shipped to your door. Phantom warranties every part of the unit except the mesh, and we warranty our labor for one year. See every Phantom model and price.
What to expect on timing
This is a made-to-measure product, so the honest timeline matters more than a fast promise.
- The measure visit happens within a few days. That is the part that is quick.
- About a week for a standard-color single or double after measuring.
- About four weeks for an XL opening.
- About eight weeks for a special color.
Anyone who tells you a custom retractable door is installed in a few days is describing the measure visit, not the install.
Why buy it from a screen company
We install Phantom, and we are also the people who service screen doors across the South Bay every week. We fit it knowing how these openings actually behave — how much dust gets into a South Bay track, where a housing is going to get knocked, how much the slab moves. And when it needs anything years from now you are calling the company that put it in, not hunting for whoever sold it.
What happens when you call
- Call or text and describe the opening — slider, French doors, single entry, and roughly how wide.
- We come out and measure properly. Nothing is ordered off a guess.
- You choose the color and mesh, and we give you the real lead time for that combination.
- We install, set the tension and show you how to use it.

Phantom questions
How long does a Phantom retractable screen door take to get?
About a week for a standard-color single or double after the measure visit, about four weeks for an XL opening, and about eight weeks for a special color. The measure visit itself is usually within a few days.
Will it fit my patio slider?
Retractable screens fit openings that conventional screen doors often cannot, including wide sliders, French doors, in-swing doors and single entry doors. We measure on site before anything is ordered.
What happens if it needs service later?
You call us. We are an authorized dealer and we service screen doors across the South Bay every week, so the same company that installed it maintains it.
Is it worth it over a normal screen door?
On a patio you use daily, usually yes — it is out of the way and out of the weather when it is not in use, which is also why it lasts. On a door you rarely open, a $159 conventional screen door service is better value and we will tell you so.
The measure visit confirms the width, the model and the fit — it is not where you first hear a number.
