Motorized porch and patio screens for Sandy Springs.

Atlanta Motorized Screens is an authorized MagnaTrack™ dealer installing motorized retractable patio screens and porch screens across Sandy Springs, from the riverfront homes along Riverside Drive, Heards Ferry, and Long Island Drive to Huntcliff, Spalding Drive, and the townhomes and condos around City Springs and Perimeter Center. Sandy Springs sits on the Chattahoochee under some of the heaviest tree cover in the metro, which is exactly why people move here, and exactly why the porch is empty most evenings:

Mosquitoes off the Chattahoochee, Nancy Creek, Marsh Creek, and Long Island Creek from May through September
Pollen from the 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 and the street close enough to wave on the townhome and cluster-home lots off Roswell Road
Afternoon thunderstorms rolling up the river 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 Sandy Springs lives outside.

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

Riverside, Heards Ferry, and the Chattahoochee estates

The homes along Riverside Drive, Heards Ferry, Long Island Drive, Mount Vernon, Powers Ferry, and Northside Drive were built with serious covered outdoor rooms facing the woods and the river: outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pool pavilions, and furniture that costs more than most porches. The river also delivers the worst mosquitoes in the city right at dusk.

Insect mesh on the river side for evenings outside with no spray and no candles
Single screens up to 30 feet wide for pavilions and deep porches with no posts breaking up the sightline
Any RAL color: housings and tracks powder-coated to match trim, stone, or bronze fixtures
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

Huntcliff, Spalding, and the club and golf communities

Huntcliff on the river, the homes along Spalding Drive and Dalrymple Road, and the North Springs and Dunwoody Panhandle neighborhoods pair big wooded lots with golf, tennis, and swim clubs. Porches here face the course or the woods, and a full afternoon of sun comes through the trees once the leaves drop.

Wind is the reason MagnaTrack exists: the magnetic track flexes under a gust and reseats itself instead of tearing out
Solar mesh on the sunny side cuts glare and up to 97% of UV while keeping the view of the course or the trees
Face-mount retrofit onto the existing porch, typically installed in a day, with the original columns and trim untouched
Fixed solar panels for owners who want the classic screened porch look with privacy and shade that standard bug screen never gave them
A wind sensor can retract the screens automatically when a storm comes up the river

City Springs, Roswell Road, and the townhomes

The townhomes, cluster homes, and condos around City Springs, Hammond Drive, Glenridge, and Perimeter Center 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
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 a Sandy Springs home.

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

Covered porches

The classic Sandy Springs back porch facing the woods, 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 pavilions and cabanas

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

Pergolas and rooftop terraces

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

Townhome garages

Door up, screen down. Airflow without an audience.

Restaurant and hospitality patios

City Springs and Roswell Road patios that stay open through mosquito season and the first cold snap.

A Sandy Springs porch, all four seasons.

Spring: pollen season

Under the Sandy Springs 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 off the river, 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

Once the leaves are down and the sun comes through, clear vinyl seals the space and holds the heat from a patio heater or fireplace. The porch stays in service through January.

Sandy Springs Questions

Do motorized screens hold up to wind and storms on a Sandy Springs 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 Sandy Springs 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 Sandy Springs porch, or only to new construction?

Both. Most of Sandy Springs' 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 Sandy Springs?

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.
