Screen Door Pet Door in Georgina
A screen door pet door is an ABS-framed magnetic-closure flap installed into your patio screen door, letting dogs and cats access the backyard independently while insects stay out. In Georgina, the cottage and waterfront housing context creates the ideal use case: seasonal and year-round residents with dogs that want continuous access to the yard, dock, or beach area, in an environment where Lake Simcoe insects make an open screen door a problem from late May through August.
At the Jackson's Point waterfront, Keswick South, and the Historic Lakeshore Communities, dogs are part of the cottage experience — they follow their owners from house to dock to yard constantly throughout the day. The screen door gets opened and closed more often here than in a standard suburban setting, and the lake insect environment (mayflies, midges, and mosquitoes from the Cook's Bay wetlands) makes every opening significant. A screen door pet door is a practical solution that keeps insects out while matching the dog's natural access pattern. For the Sutton and Keswick North inland properties, where Holland River proximity adds mosquito pressure from the drainage corridor, the same logic applies with the added benefit of keeping insects out during the overnight hours via the lockable side locks. The 12"×14" flap works for most breeds commonly seen on Georgina waterfront properties; the 8"×10" is appropriate for smaller dogs and cats.

Spring Lakefront Screen Replacement: Jackson's Point
· 2024Problem
A converted cottage on the Lake Simcoe waterfront in Jackson's Point had screens that had not been replaced since the property was converted to year-round use in the early 2000s. The aluminum frames were corroded at the corners, the mesh had oxidized to a grey-brown colour, and the spline had cracked and pulled free at every lower corner. The owners also reported mayfly insects entering through closed windows during the May hatch.
Solution
Replaced all 9 window screens and the patio door screen. All frames were rebuilt in new aluminum stock. The existing frames were too corroded to re-use. Mesh: 20×20 fine mesh in charcoal on all lakeside-facing windows and the patio door; heavy-duty 18×16 fibreglass on the remaining windows. The owners reported the May hatch was fully blocked the following spring.
Muskoka Room Installation: Keswick South
· 2025Problem
A year-round home in Keswick South with a covered deck adjacent to a low-lying area near the Cook's Bay shoreline had been unusable in the evening from May through August. The owners had tried torches, fans, and sprays without lasting effect. The covered deck structure was already in place with posts and a roof.
Solution
Installed a full-perimeter screen enclosure on the existing covered deck using commercial-grade aluminum framing and 20×20 fine mesh on all panels facing the water and low-lying side, 18×16 on the house-facing panels. Added a hinged screen door on the primary access side. The owners reported using the space comfortably through September.
