Apollo Screen & Shade, a manufacturer of motorized retractable screens and one of the fastest-growing brands in the screen and shade industry, has announced its expansion into California’s Central Coast through a new dealer partnership with Shoreline Awning & Patio, Inc., one of the region’s most established outdoor living companies.
The partnership makes Apollo’s full product line available for the first time through a dedicated local dealer serving the Central Coast market — a region stretching from Monterey to Ventura that encompasses some of California’s most active residential, hospitality, and wine country construction markets. The area’s concentration of high-end custom homes, resort properties, and winery tasting rooms — most featuring the large-format bifold, multi-slide, and stacking door systems that define today’s indoor-outdoor living architecture — makes it a natural fit for Apollo’s motorized retractable screen and shade solutions.
Leading the product offering is the Athena PowerDoor, Apollo’s patent-pending motorized side-to-side screen and shade system engineered specifically for large door openings. The first product of its kind, the Athena handles bifold, stacking, and oversized openings up to 20 feet — delivering instant insect protection, solar control, or full privacy at the push of a button, without compromising the architectural drama of large-format glazing. Available with supermesh for insect protection, solar mesh for glare and heat control, or privacy fabric for maximum privacy, the Athena’s zipper-locked mesh is reinforced with sonic-welded vinyl edges, making it pet-resistant, wind-resistant, and built for the demands of daily use in premium residential and commercial environments.
For the Central Coast’s wine country properties — where indoor-outdoor dining, hospitality events, and open-air tasting experiences define the customer experience — the Athena solves one of the most persistent design challenges in the large-format door market: how to control and protect expansive openings without giving up the openness that makes them worth having.
Beyond the Athena, the partnership gives Central Coast customers access to Apollo’s complete line of motorized retractable patio screens, exterior solar shades, motorized outdoor shades, and retractable screen door systems — products that complement the large-format door and window systems increasingly specified across the region’s residential and commercial construction.
“The Central Coast is exactly the kind of market where Apollo products belong,” said Sam Steinberg, founder of Apollo Screen & Shade. “Large-format doors and open-plan indoor-outdoor living are the standard in wine country architecture — at the homes, the tasting rooms, the resort properties. The demand for a motorized screen solution that handles those openings elegantly and reliably has been there for years. The Athena was built for it. And having Shoreline as our local partner means customers in this market get the installation quality and service those products deserve.”
Shoreline Awning & Patio has served the Central Coast since 1986, making it one of the region’s longest-running shade and outdoor living companies. Operating from its fabrication facility and showroom in Paso Robles, Shoreline serves residential and commercial clients across San Luis Obispo County and neighboring communities. Under the ownership of Dan and Rachel Ryan — Central Coast natives who acquired the business from founder Russ Meznarich in 2024 — Shoreline continues its tradition of custom design, in-house manufacturing, and full-service installation backed by a transferable lifetime warranty.
“Apollo’s motorized screen systems fill a gap we’ve seen growing demand for on the Central Coast,” said Dan Ryan, owner of Shoreline Awning & Patio. “Our customers want the complete outdoor living experience — shade, insect protection, privacy, and the ability to control it all with the push of a button. This partnership lets us deliver that complete solution to a market that’s been asking for it.”
Apollo Screen & Shade manufactures its products and distributes exclusively through a vetted network of trained local dealers nationwide, ensuring every customer receives expert consultation, precise installation, and ongoing service. The Central Coast expansion is part of Apollo’s continued nationwide dealer network growth as demand for motorized indoor-outdoor screen and shade systems accelerates across high-end residential and commercial markets.
