Motorized porch and patio screens for Vinings.

Atlanta Motorized Screens is an authorized MagnaTrack™ dealer installing motorized retractable patio screens and porch screens across Vinings, from the estate lots along Paces Ferry Road and the Chattahoochee to Vinings Estates, Paces Ferry Heights, Mount Wilkinson, and the townhomes and condos around Vinings Jubilee and Cumberland. Vinings has the river on one side, Buckhead on the other, and some of the oldest hardwoods in Cobb County overhead. The problem is how few evenings a year the porch actually gets used:

  • Mosquitoes off the Chattahoochee, Nickajack Creek, and Rottenwood Creek from May through September
  • Pollen off the Vinings Mountain and Paces Ferry 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 around Vinings Jubilee, Cumberland, and Mount Wilkinson
  • Afternoon thunderstorms coming 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 starts with a free in-home consultation and is quoted line by line.

Built for how Vinings lives outside.

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

Paces Ferry, the river, and the estate lots

The homes along Paces Ferry Road, Paces Mill, Paces Lake, Paces View, Woodland Brook, Rivers Call, Chattahoochee Bluffs, and the wooded lots down to the river were built with serious covered outdoor rooms: outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pool pavilions, and furniture that costs more than most porches. The river also delivers the worst mosquitoes in Cobb County 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

Vinings Estates, Paces Ferry Heights, and the swim and tennis neighborhoods

Vinings Estates, Paces Ferry Heights, Vinings Glen, Vinings Heights, Tanglewood, Brandy Station, Cochise, Carters Grove, Bakers Farm, Highgrove, Orchard Lake, Avignon at Vinings, and the Courtyards of Vinings pair big wooded lots with swim and tennis clubs. Porches here face the woods, and a full afternoon of sun comes through the trees once the leaves drop.

  • Solar mesh on the sunny side cuts glare and up to 97% of UV while keeping the view of 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
  • 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

Vinings Jubilee, Mount Wilkinson, Cumberland, and the townhomes

The townhomes, cluster homes, and condos around Vinings Jubilee, Mount Wilkinson Parkway, Cumberland, Akers Mill, One Vinings Mountain, Olde Ivy, the Preserve at Vinings Walk, Vinings Main, Vinings Central, Greystone at Vinings, and the Battery on Paces Ferry put you five minutes from Truist Park and the Galleria and twelve feet from a neighbor. Patios, balconies, and rooftop terraces 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
  • Rooftop terraces and balconies: screens mount to the pergola or covered structure, with a wind sensor that raises them when it gusts
  • Garage openings turned into an open-air gym or workshop that nobody on the street can see into
  • Glare control so the patio is comfortable at 6pm in July and you can see the TV
  • 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 Vinings home.

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

Covered porches

The classic Vinings back porch facing the woods or the river, 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

Vinings Jubilee, Cumberland, and the Battery patios that stay open through mosquito season and the first cold snap.

A Vinings porch, all four seasons.

Spring: pollen season

Under the Vinings 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, or the Braves game on the porch TV.

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.

Vinings Questions

Do motorized screens hold up to wind and storms off the Chattahoochee in Vinings?

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 Vinings 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 Vinings porch, or only to new construction?

Both. Most of Vinings' 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 Vinings?

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.
