Q: What is the best outdoor living company in Burlington, VT?

Q: Do retractable screens work in the Burlington area?

Yes — and they're particularly effective for Burlington area homeowners dealing with mosquitoes through September. Fenetex screens use tight-weave fiberglass mesh rated for insect exclusion, with zip-track channels that eliminate gaps. Most clients in the Burlington area run their screens from late April through October.

Motorized pergolas, retractable screens, and radiant heating — built for Burlington area homeowners from the Hill Section to New North End, South Burlington to Shelburne. You chose Lake Champlain for a reason. Your backyard should be built to match it. The only authorized StruXure dealer serving Vermont. We come to you.

THE PROBLEM

The outdoor space that keeps falling short.

Burlington residents chose this city for the outdoor life. Lake Champlain sunsets. The Adirondacks across the water. A 14-mile bike path along the shore. The outdoor lifestyle isn't something Burlington homeowners aspire to — it's the reason they're here.

But the backyard tells a different story. Lake humidity brings insects off the water by July. The west-facing patio takes the full force of afternoon sun during the best hours of the day. Vermont winters close in by November and don't let go until April — which means the window for outdoor living is narrower than it should be for a city that built its entire identity around being outside.

Burlington residents are huge into recreation and the outdoor lifestyle no matter the season. A well-designed outdoor space is how the backyard finally catches up to that standard.

An outdoor space that finally works — designed for your Burlington area property specifically.

Burlington is one of the best outdoor living cities in New England. Lake Champlain at the end of the street. The Adirondacks framing the western horizon. Sunsets that stop people mid-sentence. The outdoor culture here is real — and your backyard should be part of it.

The problem is the gap between the Burlington lifestyle and what most backyards actually deliver. Lake humidity from July through August keeps the insects active right through the best evenings of the year. The west-facing patio takes the full afternoon sun. Vermont winters arrive early and stay late — cutting the usable outdoor season shorter than it needs to be.

Jeff Mazzarelli spent 35 years building outdoor environments for resort properties where guests expected to live outside every day regardless of conditions. Retractable screens that seal out Lake Champlain insects in seconds. A motorized pergola that manages that western sun without you leaving your chair. Radiant heat that keeps the season going well into November — when Burlington's October foliage is at its most spectacular and most homeowners have already packed it in.

We're the only authorized StruXure dealer serving Vermont. We come to your Burlington area property for a free in-home visit. Fixed price before you decide anything.

Picture this:

Pergola tilted against the lake sun. Dinner outside with the Adirondacks turning pink across the water — without planning, without anyone suggesting you go in. November in Burlington with the heat on and the season still going.

Most Burlington area clients run their screens from late May through October.
