Discover why Los Angeles homeowners are choosing retractable screens, custom screen doors, and pet screens this fall for comfort, airflow, and protection.

Before Fall Hits Hard, Here’s the One Home Upgrade You’ll Wish You Did Sooner

Fall in Los Angeles feels different. The days are cooler, evenings are crisp, and it’s finally comfortable to let fresh air move through your home. But here’s the problem: open your doors and you let in pests, dust, and debris. Keep them closed, and you miss out on the best weather of the year.


The smart move?

Retractable screens from Tashman Home Center.

They let you enjoy the breeze during fall without inviting in unwanted guests. And when you don’t need them, they roll away and disappear — no clunky frames, no permanent barriers, just open living on demand.


Why Fall Is the Best Time for Screens

Los Angeles homeowners know fall is the season for transitions. Kids are back in school, the holidays are around the corner, and home projects pick up. Screens fit perfectly into that rhythm:


Cooler weather – open your doors without cranking the AC.

Fewer bugs, more airflow  – pests may fade in fall, but dust and debris don’t. Screens block them.

Prep before winter  – install now and you’ll be ready for spring and summer next year.

Better home value  – fall is a prime time for selling or remodeling in Los Angeles. Screens add curb appeal.

Every home is different. Tashman’s team measures and installs screens that actually fit — no rattling, no bending, no gaps. Options include:

Retractable Screens – vanish when you don’t need them, perfect for patios and French doors.

Rollaway Screens – smooth operation, easy to glide open or closed.

Custom Screen Doors – built to match your home’s size and style.

The Seasonal Benefits of Retractable Screens

Installing screens in the fall isn’t just about now — it’s about setting yourself up for comfort year-round.

Fresh air without bugs – fall is perfect for evening breezes.

Allergy-friendly airflow  – screens help filter dust and debris.

Pet safety – let your pets enjoy the open air without tearing through flimsy mesh.

Energy efficiency  – reduce HVAC use by taking advantage of cool outdoor air.

Year-round use – they’ll be ready when spring blooms and summer heat arrives.
