Motorized Hurricane Screens

Motorized Hurricane Screens for Southwest Florida Homes

When a storm builds in the Gulf, the difference between a protected home and a vulnerable one often comes down to what covers your largest openings — the lanai, the patio, the wide sliders that make coastal living what it is. Motorized hurricane screens close those openings at the touch of a button, then disappear just as easily when the sky clears.

Storm Squad is an authorized MagnaTrack dealer serving Naples, Marco Island, Fort Myers, and the surrounding coastal communities. As a division of Tim Allen Builds, we bring established local construction experience to every installation — which matters when a screen system has to anchor to your home and stand up to Gulf-coast wind, salt, and sun for years.

What Are Motorized Hurricane Screens?

Motorized hurricane screens are retractable woven screens that roll down to enclose an opening and roll back up out of sight when you don’t need them. Unlike a fixed screen or a bulky shutter, they’re powered — you operate them from a wall switch, remote, or smart-home control — and they’re built to stay put under load rather than billow or tear.

The screens serve double duty all year, not just during hurricane season. On an ordinary week they hold back insects, knock down driving rain, cut glare and heat on a west-facing lanai, and add privacy to an outdoor room. When a storm approaches, the same system becomes a protective barrier across your most exposed openings.

Why MagnaTrack Is Different

Most retractable screens share one weakness: under strong wind, the screen can pull out of its side tracks and fail exactly when you need it most. MagnaTrack solves that with a magnetic locking track that holds the screen edge firmly in the channel as wind pressure builds, so it resists blow-out instead of releasing.

That single engineering difference is why we chose to carry MagnaTrack rather than a generic motorized screen:
Stays locked under wind load
the magnetic track keeps the screen engaged across the full height of the opening.
Spans large openings
ideal for the wide lanais, pool cages, and great-room sliders common in Southwest Florida homes.
Built for coastal conditions
components selected to hold up against salt-air corrosion.
Quiet, motorized operation
smooth roll-down and roll-up with remote and smart-home options.
Storm protection plus everyday comfort
one system for wind, rain, insects, sun, and privacy.

Built for Coastal Southwest Florida

A screen that performs in a dry inland climate can fail fast on the coast. Our region throws three things at outdoor systems at once: hurricane-force wind, relentless salt air that corrodes cheap hardware, and intense UV that breaks down low-grade fabrics. We spec and install MagnaTrack systems with those realities in mind — corrosion-resistant components, proper structural anchoring to your home, and fabrics chosen for wind, sun, and longevity rather than the lowest bid.

This is also where local experience earns its keep. Because Storm Squad operates under Tim Allen Builds, we understand how Southwest Florida homes are framed and how to anchor a motorized screen system so it transfers load safely — not just so it looks good on day one.

Where Motorized Screens Work Best

  • Lanais and screened porches — the most common request, turning an open lanai into a protected, usable room year-round.
  • Patios and outdoor kitchens — shade and insect control on demand, plus storm protection for built-in features.
  • Large sliders and great-room openings — covering wide spans that traditional shutters handle awkwardly.
  • Garages — a motorized screen converts a garage into a workable, ventilated space while keeping bugs and weather out.
  • Pool enclosures — adding privacy and storm screening to an existing cage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quality motorized screens like MagnaTrack are engineered to stay locked in their tracks under wind load and to resist windborne debris. They protect your largest, most vulnerable openings while also serving everyday functions like insect, sun, and rain control.

Shutters are typically a storm-only solution you deploy and then put away. Motorized screens stay installed and earn their keep year-round — shade, insects, privacy, rain — then double as storm protection. Many homeowners use both; we can help you decide.

Yes. MagnaTrack screens are motorized and can be operated by remote, wall switch, or smart-home integration, with optional wind and sun sensors.

They’re built with coastal conditions in mind. We spec corrosion-resistant components and durable fabrics appropriate for Gulf-coast salt exposure.

Pricing depends on the size and number of openings, fabric, and controls. We provide a clear, itemized quote after measuring.
