For Oviedo and Black Hammock homes, installed by crews Kip hand-selects and trains, and controlled with one button.
Florida Living Outdoor installs Fenetex One-Track motorized screens and MaxForce hurricane screens in Oviedo and the Black Hammock. MaxForce typically runs $3,500–$9,500 per opening. Screens are built to order in 4–8 weeks and installed in 1–3 days. Veteran-owned; founder Kip Hudakoz brings 26 years in outdoor living.
Oviedo and the Black Hammock give you something rare: old Florida country living, close enough to the city to keep life busy. From Live Oak Reserve, The Sanctuary and Alafaya Woods to the homes along the Econlockhatchee River, nearly everything Florida weather can throw at an outdoor space happens here.
The Atlantic and Gulf sea breezes often meet right over Oviedo, and the summer downpours that follow soak furniture and leave the patio needing constant cleaning.
Wetter ground means more standing water, so mosquitoes and no-see-ums arrive right when evenings cool off.
By late morning, an uncovered patio is too hot to use.
As new neighborhoods fill in, more backyards sit in full view of the house next door.
We’re close enough to feel hurricanes riding up the Atlantic shoreline, and storms that cross the state from the Gulf, as Ian did.
When life is this busy, a patio that takes effort to use just doesn’t get used.
That last one is the real problem. A space that’s set up right is ready the moment you have an hour. One button for bug screens or shade, a fence for privacy, storm protection that lowers when you need it.

Florida Living Outdoor is based in Oviedo. We sit through the same afternoon storms and swat the same no-see-ums you do, so we design every lanai for the weather we live with ourselves.
Founder Kip Hudakoz, a Marine Corps veteran, brings 26 years in outdoor living, and every crew is hand-selected and personally trained by him. His rule is simple: "My job is to educate you, regardless if you use us or go with someone else."

Excellent product. Has performed exactly as presented. New build. Kip was engaged from initial design until final CO. I was most impressed with his followup and engagement through the life of the project from concept to operational completion. Kip is a pleasure to work with and is adaptable and mission focused to deliver the best solution for the situation.
Kip and his team at FLO were the best! Attention to detail, efficient, hard working and conscientious of their work area and your property are just a few of the great things to say about our experience with them. Kip knows his product and does what he says he's going to do.
I had a wonderful experience with Kip and the team from Florida Living Outdoor. They were knowledgeable, professional and I truly believe that their product is the best in the market. From initial meeting through the completion of the install the process was smooth and timely. I highly recommend Florida Living Outdoor and will not hesitate using them again in the future.

typical price per opening for MaxForce hurricane screens
Ask us for One-Track pricing on your call. Every quote is set after a free site visit, because no two openings are the same.
If an awning or a simpler screen solves your problem, we'll tell you, even if it's the smaller job.
MaxForce hurricane screens typically run $3,500–$9,500 per opening. Size, mounting, motor and permits move the price, and a free site visit sets your exact quote.
One-Track handles bugs, sun and privacy, and you raise it fully before a storm. MaxForce is built for hurricanes: you lower it fully when a storm comes. It’s approved under Florida Product Approval FL8637-R15.
In an HOA community, plan on roughly 2–3 months from final measurement: up to about 30 days for HOA approval, then 4–8 weeks to build your screens once we place the order, then 1–3 days to install.
We help you fill out your HOA's architectural application, and we don't order anything until your approval is in hand.
We do. We service every screen we install, and new installations come with a 5-year craftsmanship warranty and a 3-year track warranty.
Ask what tracks and motors they use, how the screens are anchored, who pulls the permit, what the warranty covers and for how long, and who services the screens afterward. Get the answers in writing, from us or anyone else.
Picture dinner on the lanai with no bugs, no glare and nothing to put away when the afternoon storm rolls through. It starts with a 20-minute call.
What happens next: you'll get a text and an email from us within five minutes. If you asked us to call, we usually call back within a couple of hours. After your phone consultation, we'll set up your on-site visit.
Shade, light and privacy for the space you already have.
Shade when you want it, open sky when you don't. Near Oviedo, one family's southeast-facing yard needed shade, but a fixed structure would have blocked the garage where the RV parks. A retractable awning gives her a shady spot to relax while the family plays, and it rolls back out of the way.

Oviedo and the Black Hammock are lake country: live oaks, Spanish moss and water views worth seeing after dark. Low-voltage landscape lighting brings out that old-Florida charm and keeps your yard usable and secure long after sunset.

A backyard only works if it feels like yours. In the Black Hammock, one Oviedo family wanted a fence that complemented their home and gave them privacy where they pull into the garage. Our horizontal privacy fences, built with Greenwood's modern European-style panels, give you privacy and a clean, finished look, with very little maintenance.
