Advanced Screenworks shipped its first Lifestyle Screens garage door screen in August 2012. Since then, our dealer base has grown to several hundred businesses across the US and Canada. Dealers come from as far north as Fort McMurray, Alberta Canada; as far south as Fort Lauderdale, FL; as far east as Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada; and as far west as Honolulu, Hawaii. Also, our product line has since grown and is comprised of (1) our flagship, patented Lifestyle Screens garage door screen which we manufacture; (2) the Rollaround Screens warehouse door screen which we also manufacture; (3) a premium quality line of window, door, porch, patio and garage retractable screens manufactured by Genius; and (4) custom designed screen rooms with complementing color and style of these three lines of door screens. With this dealer network and product lines, we have been able to identify the attributes that make a dealer successful and those that do not.

Not all dealers offer all of our products. The more successful ones do. Why? Because we have set up our product line so that one line fills gaps that may exist in another line. Tailored so that you should never lose a sale to someone seeking a screening solution. This also allows you to make sales of multiple elements of our product lines on a single call.
Not all dealers train their sales staff. The more successful ones do. When a prospective customer calls to inquire about a product that you sell, the salespersons should know that product. Too often, we hear from customers that they called a dealer and reached a salesperson who didn't know that they carried the product.
