Understanding Covina Screen Products and Its Role in ASPA

Covina Screen Products, a family business founded in the 1950s and acquired by Patrick in 2020, influenced the creation of ASPA by demonstrating the value of vendor partnerships, community trust, and drop-ship distribution for screen and patio professionals.

Covina Screen Products was established by the GA family in the 1950s and passed down through multiple generations, representing decades of craftsmanship and community reputation.

Patrick purchased the company in 2020 with a commitment to preserving its legacy while modernizing operations and expanding its reach. He focused on bringing in new vendors, strengthening industry partnerships, and ensuring the company remained a reliable resource for contractors nationwide. This transition honored the trust built over decades while adapting to the evolving needs of screening and patio professionals.

The company's long history provided Patrick with deep insight into the challenges and opportunities within the industry. That experience became the foundation for ASPA, where he could share those lessons and connect professionals facing similar situations.

All Covina Screen Products materials are fulfilled through drop-ship distribution, providing fast, efficient delivery for contractors and businesses regardless of location.

Drop-ship arrangements eliminate the need for you to carry large inventories or manage warehouse space. When you place an order, the vendor ships directly to your job site or shop, reducing transit time and handling costs. This model is especially valuable for businesses serving remote or expanding markets where local suppliers may not carry specialized screening materials.

Patrick brought this distribution approach into ASPA's vendor network, ensuring members have access to the same streamlined ordering process. You benefit from a wider product selection without the overhead of stocking every item yourself.

ASPA's vendor network includes suppliers Patrick cultivated through Covina Screen Products, many offering industry-specific solutions and drop-ship capabilities.

These partnerships give you access to materials, tools, and systems that might not be available through general hardware or home improvement channels. Vendors understand the unique requirements of screen and patio work, from frame durability to fastener compatibility, and they provide technical support to help you select the right products for each project.

The network continues to grow as more suppliers recognize the value of connecting with dedicated professionals. This expansion means you'll discover new options and innovations that keep your business competitive and responsive to customer demands.

Screen and patio professionals across the United States face different regional conditions, including humidity levels, UV exposure, and insect pressure that affect material selection and installation techniques.

Covina Screen Products' national reach exposed Patrick to these variations, from coastal areas with salt air to inland regions with intense sun and temperature swings. ASPA leverages this knowledge by facilitating peer exchanges where you can learn how other businesses address similar environmental challenges. Understanding these factors helps you recommend the best materials and warranties for your local climate.
