Motorized porch and patio screens for East Cobb.

Atlanta Motorized Screens is an authorized MagnaTrack™ dealer installing motorized retractable patio screens and porch screens across East Cobb, from the fairway homes of Indian Hills and Atlanta Country Club to Chimney Springs, Sibley Forest, Hampton Lake, Chadds Lake, and the swim and tennis neighborhoods off Johnson Ferry, Roswell Road, Lower Roswell, Sandy Plains, and Shallowford. East Cobb was built around the back porch, the pool, and the cul-de-sac. The problem is how few evenings a year the porch actually gets used:

  • Mosquitoes off the Chattahoochee, Sope Creek, Willeo Creek, and the neighborhood lakes from May through September
  • Pollen off the East Cobb pine and hardwood canopy, coating every cushion in yellow every March and April
  • West-facing glare that makes the patio unusable from 5pm until dark all summer
  • Neighbors close enough to wave on the townhome and cluster-home lots around Parkaire, Merchants Walk, and the Avenue East Cobb
  • 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 starts with a free in-home consultation and is quoted line by line.

Built for how East Cobb lives outside.

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

Indian Hills, Atlanta Country Club, and the fairway and river homes

Indian Hills Country Club, Atlanta Country Club and Chattahoochee Plantation, Columns Drive, Old Paper Mill, Sibley Forest, Timberlea Farms, Ward Meade Farm, and the homes along Johnson Ferry and Paper Mill Road down to the river were built with serious covered outdoor rooms: outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pool pavilions, and a sightline across the fairway or the Chattahoochee that the whole house is organized around. Open fairway and open water 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 fairway side cuts glare and up to 97% of UV while keeping the view of the course or the river
  • 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
  • Smart-home integration: Control4, Savant, Crestron, Google Home, and Alexa

Chimney Springs, Hampton Lake, and the swim and tennis neighborhoods

Chimney Springs, Hampton Lake, Chadds Lake, Autumn Lake, Jacksons Creek, Spring Creek, Windrush, Wyngrove, Waterford Green, Shallowford Trace, Thornberry, Stocktons Ford, Gant Quarters, Post Oak Square, and the Walton, Pope, and Lassiter district neighborhoods are what people mean when they say East Cobb: big wooded lots, a swim and tennis club, and a covered back porch that was supposed to get used every night.

  • Face-mount retrofit onto the existing porch, typically installed in a day, with the original columns and trim untouched
  • Insect mesh for evenings outside with no spray and no candles
  • Fixed solar panels for owners who want the classic screened porch look with privacy and shade that standard bug screen never gave them
  • Clear vinyl for the cool months holds the heat from a patio heater or fireplace, so the porch stays in use through January
  • Architectural-review friendly: a slim profile that vanishes when retracted, with drawings and specs for the HOA application

Parkaire, Merchants Walk, the Avenue, and the townhomes

The townhomes, cluster homes, and new builds around Parkaire Landing, Merchants Walk, the Avenue East Cobb, Paper Mill Village, Vintage Club, the Reserve at Olde Towne, Keswyck Commons, Pinecrest at Indian Hills, and the river condos off Powers Ferry put you five minutes from everything and twelve feet from a neighbor. Patios here are smaller, closer, 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
  • Rooftop terraces and balconies: screens mount to the pergola or covered structure, with a wind sensor that raises them when it gusts
  • 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 an East Cobb home.

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

Covered porches

The classic East Cobb 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.

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.

Restaurant and hospitality patios

Merchants Walk, the Avenue, and Johnson Ferry patios that stay open through mosquito season and the first cold snap.

An East Cobb porch, all four seasons.

Spring: pollen season

Under the East Cobb canopy, 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, or the Walton 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.

East Cobb Questions

Do motorized screens hold up to wind and storms on an East Cobb 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 East Cobb 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 East Cobb porch, or only to new construction?

Both. Most of East Cobb'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 East Cobb?

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.
