Motorized porch and patio screens for Cumming.

Atlanta Motorized Screens is an authorized MagnaTrack™ dealer installing motorized retractable patio screens and porch screens across Cumming and Forsyth County, from Vickery and the Polo Fields to Windermere, Hampton Golf Village, Lanier Country Club, and the lake homes on Lake Lanier. Cumming is where metro Atlanta goes to get a bigger porch, a bigger lot, and a lake. The problem is how few evenings a year the porch actually gets used:

  • Mosquitoes off Lake Lanier and Vickery Creek from May through September
  • Pollen off the Forsyth County pine and hardwood canopy, coating every cushion in yellow every March and April
  • West-facing glare across the lake or the fairway that makes the patio unusable from 5pm until dark all summer
  • Neighbors close enough to wave on the newer townhome and cluster-home lots around Cumming City Center and Market Place Boulevard
  • Afternoon thunderstorms coming across the lake 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 starts with a free in-home consultation and is quoted line by line.

Built for how Cumming lives outside.

Which Cumming porches do they work on? All of them. Here is what each one calls for.

Vickery, Polo, and the golf and club communities

Vickery Village, Polo Golf and Country Club, Windermere, Hampton Golf Village, Three Chimneys Farm, Creekstone Estates, and Laurel Springs were built around the fairway view and the covered back porch: outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pool decks, and a sightline across the course that the whole house is organized around. Open fairway means 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 fairway side cuts glare and up to 97% of UV while keeping the view of the course
  • Single screens up to 30 feet wide with no posts breaking up the sightline
  • 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 the HOA application

Lake Lanier: Lanier Country Club, Habersham, and the lake homes

Parts of Cumming sit right on Lake Lanier. Lanier Country Club Estates, Habersham on Lanier, Edgewater at Lanier, Arden on Lanier, Cannongate on Lanier, Lake Astoria, Lake Haven, and the homes off Buford Dam Road, Pilgrim Mill, and Bald Ridge were bought for the water, and the water sends the bugs up at dusk and the glare across the porch at five o'clock.

  • Insect mesh on the lake side for evenings outside with no spray and no candles
  • Solar mesh for sunset glare off the water, with the view of the lake intact
  • A wind sensor can retract the screens automatically when a storm comes across the lake
  • Clear vinyl for the cool months holds the heat from a patio heater or fireplace, so the lake porch stays in use through January
  • Second homes: smart controls, so the screens can be lowered before guests arrive or raised ahead of a storm from anywhere

Cumming City Center, Market Place, and the newer neighborhoods

The townhomes, cluster homes, and new builds around Cumming City Center, Market Place Boulevard, The Collection at Forsyth, Castleberry Heights, Sawnee Village, Shiloh Pointe, Fieldstone Preserve, Vickery Springs, and the neighborhoods along Bethelview Road, Post Road, and Kelly Mill 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: you see out, they cannot see in
  • Glare control so the patio is comfortable at 6pm in July and you can see the TV
  • Garage openings turned into an open-air gym or workshop that nobody on the street can see into
  • Face-mount retrofit onto the existing covered patio, typically installed in a day
  • A lowered screen cannot be lifted or pushed open from outside, so the porch door can stay open on a summer night

Where they go on a Cumming home.

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

Covered porches

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

Lake porches and boathouse decks

Insect mesh toward the water, solar mesh toward the sunset. The view of Lanier stays exactly where it was.

Patios and outdoor kitchens

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

Pool decks and cabanas

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

Pergolas

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

Garages and workshops

Door up, screen down. Airflow without an audience.

A Cumming porch, all four seasons.

Spring: pollen season

Forsyth County pine pollen is some of the heaviest in the state. 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 off the lake, 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, or the game on the porch TV.

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.

Cumming Questions

Do motorized screens hold up to wind off Lake Lanier?

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 Cumming 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 Cumming porch, or only to new construction?

Both. Most of Cumming'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 Cumming?

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 consultation is free, with no deposit and no obligation.

How long from consultation 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.
