Alpharetta Motorized Screens

Motorized porch and patio screens for Alpharetta.

Atlanta Motorized Screens is an authorized MagnaTrack™ dealer installing motorized retractable patio screens and porch screens in Alpharetta, from the lake and golf communities off Windward Parkway to the estate lots of Country Club of the South and the newer homes around Avalon and downtown. Alpharetta was built around outdoor living. The problem is how few days a year the porch actually gets used:

  • March and April pollen coats every cushion, table, and floor in yellow
  • Mosquitoes off the lakes, creeks, and Big Creek Greenway from May through September
  • West-facing glare that makes the patio unusable from 5pm until dark all summer
  • Neighbors close enough to wave on the tighter lots in newer subdivisions
  • Afternoon thunderstorms that end dinner outside in about ninety seconds

A motorized retractable screen fixes all five, and when the evening is perfect, it disappears into its housing at the touch of a button. Every project is measured in person and quoted line by line.

Built for how Alpharetta lives outside.

Three kinds of Alpharetta porch, and what each one calls for.

Windward and the lake and golf communities

Porches on Lake Windward and along the Golf Club of Georgia fairways have the best views in the city and the most exposure. Water and open fairway mean real wind, and a full afternoon of sun with nothing to break it.

  • Wind is the reason MagnaTrack exists: the magnetic track flexes under a gust and reseats itself instead of tearing out
  • Solar mesh on the water side cuts glare and up to 97% of UV while keeping the lake view
  • Single screens up to 30 feet wide with no posts breaking up the sightline
  • A wind sensor can retract the screens automatically when a storm rolls in off the lake

Country Club of the South and the estate lots

The large custom homes along Old Alabama Road and in the gated communities were built with serious covered outdoor rooms: outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, televisions, and furniture that costs more than most porches. These are the spaces worth protecting from pollen and UV.

  • Any RAL color: housings and tracks powder-coated to match trim, stone, or bronze fixtures
  • Architectural-review friendly: a slim profile that vanishes when retracted, with drawings and specs for your HOA application
  • Interiors protected: stopping UV at the porch keeps the hardwoods, rugs, and art behind it from fading
  • Smart-home integration: Control4, Savant, Crestron, Google Home, and Alexa

Avalon, downtown, and the newer neighborhoods

The homes and townhomes that have gone up around Avalon, Halcyon, and the downtown Alpharetta City Center sit on tighter lots. Covered patios here are smaller, closer to the neighbors, and often face west into the evening sun.

  • Daytime privacy from the street and next door without curtains, lattice, or a permanent wall
  • Glare control so the patio is comfortable at 6pm in July and you can see the TV
  • Insect mesh for evenings outside with no spray and no candles
  • Face-mount retrofit onto the existing covered patio, typically installed in a day

Where they go on an Alpharetta home.

Any covered opening up to 30 feet wide and 20 feet tall, on the house or off it.

Covered porches

The classic Alpharetta back porch, screened for pollen and mosquitoes and open again the moment the weather turns nice.

Patios and outdoor kitchens

Solar mesh over the grill and dining area for glare control and shade, without walling off the yard.

Pergolas

Motorized pergola screens turn an open frame into a usable room. Tracks mount to the posts; the housing tucks under the beam.

Pool decks and cabanas

Privacy mesh on the lot-line side, insect mesh toward the water. The pool house becomes a second living room.

Garages

Garage screens across the door opening: a workshop, gym, or shaded play space with airflow and no bugs.

Large openings

Single screens up to 30 feet wide with no intermediate posts, for the big lake-facing and golf-facing spans.

An Alpharetta porch, all four seasons.

Spring: pollen season

Screens down through March and April keep most of the yellow film off the furniture. Hose the mesh, not the cushions.

Summer: mosquitoes and heat

Insect mesh for the bugs, solar mesh for the sun. Either way, dinner on the porch in August without the spray and without the glare.

Fall: the best months

Press a button and the screens retract completely. Nothing between you and October.

Winter: clear vinyl

Clear vinyl seals the space and holds the heat from a patio heater or fireplace. The porch stays in service through January.

Alpharetta Questions

Do motorized screens hold up to the wind on a Lake Windward porch?

Yes. MagnaTrack's magnetic track is designed to flex under a gust and pull itself back into place instead of tearing out, which is the usual failure on zipper-track screens. The manufacturer recommends raising standard screens above 60 mph; the Defender series is rated for 24/7 deployment in Category 5 winds. Solar mesh blocks up to 85% of wind and rain when extended. More on the MagnaTrack system page.

Will my Alpharetta HOA approve motorized patio screens?

We can't speak for any individual association, but the system is built for architectural review: housings and tracks are powder-coated in any RAL color to match your trim, the profile is slim, and the screens disappear completely when retracted. We provide product drawings and color specs you can submit with your application.

Can I add motorized screens to an existing Alpharetta porch, or only to new construction?

Both. Most of Alpharetta's housing stock is established, and face-mount tracks retrofit onto nearly any existing covered porch, patio, or pergola. On a new build or a major renovation, the housing and tracks can be recessed into the ceiling and columns so nothing is visible when the screens are up. Worth raising with your builder early.

How much do motorized patio screens cost in Alpharetta?

Every project is custom fabricated to your openings, so pricing depends on the number of openings, their size, the mesh you choose, and the controls. We measure in person, walk through the options with samples, and leave an itemized quote that includes materials and installation. The quote is free, with no deposit and no obligation.

How long from quote to finished screens?

About six weeks from order to shipment, since each screen is built to your exact measurements. Most projects install in a single day once the screens arrive. We give you a real date when we quote.
