Locally Owned. Professionally Installed.
Built for Florida.
New Horizons has been Central Florida's trusted source for retractable screens, awnings, and outdoor shade solutions since 2003.
Motorized Retractable Screens, Awnings, Shades, and Hurricane Protection
We’re not an internet storefront or a guy with a truck. We’re an established Central Florida business with over two decades of experience, a dedicated showroom, and a team that stands behind every installation.
About New Horizons – Go Retractable!
New Horizons was founded by Chuck LaPeters in 2003 with a simple idea: Central Florida homeowners deserve premium outdoor solutions from a company they can trust.
More than two decades later, we’ve installed thousands of retractable screens, awnings, shades, and shutters across Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Windermere, and throughout the region. We’re still locally owned, still based in Winter Park, and still focused on the same thing — helping you enjoy your outdoor space.
We love the Florida lifestyle. That’s why we built a business around products that make it better.
A Physical Location You Can Visit
Our showroom at 4970 N Pine Avenue in Winter Park isn’t just an office — it’s a working demonstration space where you can see full-sized retractable screens, awnings, and shades in action. Compare mesh options, test remote controls, and make confident decisions before you commit.
Our Own Installation Crews
Every installer on our team is a W-2 employee — not a subcontractor. They’re factory-trained, fully insured, and background-checked. When we schedule your installation, you know exactly who’s showing up.
Products Built for Florida
We don’t sell generic products designed for other climates. Our retractable solutions are manufactured right here in Florida, using materials selected specifically for our intense sun, humidity, salt air, and sudden storms.
We Stand Behind Our Work
We’ve maintained an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau of Central Florida for years. Our business is built on referrals from satisfied customers — and that only happens when you do the job right.
New Horizons provides complete outdoor solutions for homes and businesses:
- Motorized Retractable Screens — Bug protection with one-tap control
