Screen Rooms + Patio Enclosures
The Outdoors, Without the Parts You Don’t Want.
Custom screen rooms and patio enclosures designed around your home — from MagnaTrack motorized screens that disappear when you don’t need them, to fully screened rooms built to stay that way.
Screen Room Overview
In Central Texas, insects, wind and low-angle sun decide whether a patio gets used. A well-designed screen room removes those variables — turning square footage you already own into space that works every day.
MagnaTrack Motorized Screens
MagnaTrack is the motorized screen system we trust on our own projects — a track-guided screen that deploys when you want protection and disappears when you don’t. As a premier authorized dealer, we design the structure and the screen system together, so housings, columns and openings are planned as one build rather than retrofitted later.
Two Approaches
Wind + Insect Protection
Mosquito season, cedar pollen, afternoon gusts and brutal western sun are the reasons patios sit empty here. Screen systems are chosen and detailed around those exact conditions.
What Drives Cost
A fixed screened porch, a MagnaTrack system added to an existing cover, and a fully screened room built as part of a new structure are three very different projects. Rather than quote a generic number, we walk the property, understand what you want the space to do, and provide a detailed estimate for your specific project.
Permitting + HOA
Permitting requirements for screen rooms and patio enclosures vary between the City of Austin, Travis, Williamson and Hays County jurisdictions, and individual HOAs. As part of qualifying design-build projects, we determine what applies to your address and coordinate the paperwork.
The Design-Build Process
Screen rooms fail when the structure and the screen system are designed by different people. Our design-build process keeps design, engineering, permitting and construction in one conversation. See how our process works.
We look at the existing patio or structure, sun and wind exposure, and how you want to use the space.
Fixed or motorized, openings, framing and finishes are designed to the architecture of your home.
Drawings, engineering and permitting or HOA documentation are coordinated by our team.
One crew, one point of contact — through construction, screen installation and final walkthrough.

The terms overlap. A screen room usually means a covered space with permanently framed and screened openings, while a patio enclosure can also include motorized screen systems like MagnaTrack that retract when you want the space fully open. We design both.
Yes. TWT is a premier authorized MagnaTrack dealer, and we integrate MagnaTrack motorized screens into our covered structures during design so tracks, housings and columns are planned together.
Often, yes. Whether a fixed enclosure or a motorized system makes sense depends on the existing structure, openings and attachment points — which we evaluate during the first visit.
MagnaTrack screens are track-guided, which keeps the screen seated in the side tracks in gusty conditions. As with any screen system, we’ll talk through exposure at your specific site during design.
Yes — that’s the primary reason most Austin homeowners build one. Properly framed and screened openings keep insects out while preserving airflow.
Cost depends on whether the project is a fixed enclosure, a motorized screen system, or part of a new covered structure — plus the number of openings, finishes and electrical work. We provide a detailed estimate after walking the property.
Requirements vary between the City of Austin, surrounding county jurisdictions and individual HOAs. As part of qualifying design-build projects, we determine what applies to your project and coordinate the permitting process.
Yes. Fans, lighting, kitchens and entertainment walls are common integrated features. Planning them before construction lets electrical, gas and structure work together instead of being retrofitted.
Yes. We study rooflines, exterior materials, proportions and sightlines before designing, so the finished room looks like it was drawn with the original home.
Yes. We build across Greater Austin and the surrounding Hill Country communities, including Lakeway, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Liberty Hill, Avery Ranch, Driftwood and Horseshoe Bay.
