In Atlanta, the porch is where you'd live half the year — if it weren't for the Georgia humidity, the mosquitoes, the pollen, and the afternoon downpours. Motorized retractable screens fix that. One button drops a tight, side-tracked screen around your porch or patio — bugs out, breeze in — and rolls it back out of sight when you don't need it. We design them, build them, and install them ourselves, and back the motor and screen for 20 years. Nobody else around here does that.
Down here the porch is supposed to be the best room in the house — until the mosquitoes show up at dusk and the pollen coats everything yellow come April. Motorized retractable screens give the space back. Push a button and a screen drops from the top of the opening and seals down both sides, turning an open porch or patio into a bug-free, shaded room in about twenty seconds. Push it again and it disappears into the housing overhead. No swapping seasonal panels, no zippers, no fighting with anything.
The motor is what separates screens people actually use from the ones they gave up on. Ours run on the Maverick — Apollo's own motor. Remote, wall switch, or your phone. Works from across the yard, from the kitchen, from the couch. Quiet, and it stops exactly where you tell it. And while everybody else warranties their motor for five to seven years, we warranty ours for twenty.
A screen with gaps at the edges isn't a bug screen, it's a suggestion. Atlanta's mosquitoes and no-see-ums find every opening. Side tracks lock both edges of the screen into a channel — no gaps for bugs to slip through, and nothing to flap or tear when a summer thunderstorm blows through. The screen stays sealed, flat, and tensioned top to bottom.
The fabric runs inside vertical aluminum channels bolted to each side of the opening. Captured the full height. No slack. No edge for the wind to catch. The shade moves smoothly and stops flat — whether it's calm or gusting at 30 mph. When fully lowered it seals against the track frame on both sides. No gaps. No light leaking around the edges. Just a clean, flat wall of shade.
A Georgia summer is long, bright, and sticky. The afternoon sun bakes a west-facing porch and the glare comes right off the deck, and the humidity makes the whole thing worse. A wide-open porch barely helps. By midafternoon it's the last place anybody wants to sit.
Solar screen mesh knocks down the heat, glare, and UV before it reaches you — while still letting the air move through. You can see out to the yard, the sun stays off you, and the porch actually breathes instead of trapping the heat. Drop the screen on the sunny side and you'll feel the difference within a few minutes.
The fabric is warrantied for 20 years. Not 5, not 7 — twenty. Because it's designed to live outdoors in Atlanta sun, not fade out and sag in three seasons.
Most shade companies warrant the motor for 5 years and the fabric for 7. We cover both for 20. That's not a marketing line — it's in writing, and we can stand behind it because we build the product ourselves.
Apollo's proprietary motor system. We designed it. We warrant it. For 20 years.
Premium exterior-grade solar mesh. Rated for Georgia heat, humidity, and UV. Warranted for 20 years because we stand behind what we build.
We build it. We ship it. We install it. No distributors, no middlemen, no franchise. What you order is what we make — for you, to your measurements.
Apollo manufactures its own screens in-house. We don't buy product from a wholesaler and resell it. We source our own components, build to your order after we take your measurements, and ship straight to our installation crew.
That's how we can offer 20 years. A company that doesn't control its own product can't make that promise. We can.
Plenty of Atlanta backyards back right up to a neighbor or the street, and the newer subdivisions out in Cobb and Gwinnett pack the houses in close. A darker screen mesh closes off the sightlines when you want privacy on the porch — without boxing in your view of the yard. Down when you want it, up when you don't.
The fabric keeps people from seeing in but still lets the air through, so you're not trading privacy for a stuffy patio. Lower them when you want to be left alone, raise them when you want the open yard back. Takes about three seconds.

"We finally screened in the back porch with the motorized screens and it's a different house now. We're out there every evening — no mosquitoes, no swapping panels in and out every season. The screens drop in seconds and you forget they're there when they're up. Crew was clean and on time."
"Got them on the patio for the bugs and the pollen, and they handle the afternoon sun too. You can still see straight out to the yard but the gnats stay out. The motor is quiet and the app actually works. Wish we'd done it years ago."
"Called, had someone out that week to measure, and the screens were installed not long after. They showed up when they said they would and answered every time I called. If you want motorized porch screens around Atlanta, these are the people."
