Who installs MagnaTrack on Siesta Key?
Shutter and Shade Source is the official MagnaTrack dealer for Siesta Key and all of Sarasota County. The company has installed motorized retractable screens on the West Coast of Florida for more than 30 years and is a licensed Florida general contractor (CGC1516828). On Siesta Key specifically, MagnaTrack screens are the go-to choice for beachfront and canal-front lanais because they hold flat against Gulf wind and retract completely to preserve the view.
Siesta Key homes take weather most inland houses never see. The wind comes straight off the Gulf, the salt air is relentless, and the sun is direct for most of the day. Standard lanai screens do not last in those conditions. They flap, they pull loose at the corners, and within a couple of seasons they are sagging or torn. That is the exact problem MagnaTrack was built to fix, and it is why so many Siesta Key homeowners end up calling us after their first set of ordinary screens fails.
The name MagnaTrack comes from the part that matters most: the track. Instead of a loose channel that lets the screen bow outward, MagnaTrack uses a magnetic edge-retention system that locks the screen fabric into reinforced side rails. The screen stays flat. It does not balloon when a gust comes off the water. When wind pushes against it, the magnets hold the edges in the track instead of letting them peel free, which is the failure mode that destroys ordinary screens on the Key.
Why Siesta Key homeowners choose MagnaTrack
One homeowner near Siesta Village had been through two sets of cheap screens before calling us. His lanai faces the water, and every storm season did a little more damage until the corners had pulled out entirely. We measured his lanai, installed motorized MagnaTrack screens across the openings, and set him up to run them from a remote. Down for shade, bug protection, and storm cover. Up and out of sight when he wants the open Gulf view that is the whole reason to live on Siesta Key in the first place.
The motorized operation matters more here than almost anywhere. These are not screens you crank by hand. One button brings them down, another rolls them up into a slim housing tucked under the roofline. The outdoor mesh fabric cuts a large share of the sun’s heat and UV while still letting the breeze move through, which on a Siesta Key evening is the entire point of having a lanai.
Across our verified Sarasota County installations, MagnaTrack on Siesta Key earns a consistent 5-star response for one reason: it solves the edge-failure problem that every other screen on the island eventually runs into. If your Siesta Key screens flap, sag, or tear loose each season, the track is almost always why.
