Lifestyle Screens

What Lifestyle Screens does

Lifestyle Screens is a brand operated by Advanced Screenworks, LLC, a privately held limited liability company headquartered in Winder, Georgia. The company manufactures and distributes retractable garage door screen systems designed to convert garages into usable living space (man caves, party rooms, exercise areas, hobby spaces) while keeping out pests, heat, and UV rays. Its core technology centers on a spring-loaded counterbalance mechanism and an industry-first fully retractable passage door, protected by two granted U.S. patents (8151858, 8307876) with international patents pending. The system uses 2" x 2" architectural-grade aluminum framing in four colors, multiple screen material options (standard 18x14 fiberglass and SuperScreen variants), and is engineered to be compatible with wind-loaded, hurricane-reinforced, and high-lift garage doors.

The company sells exclusively through independent dealers across the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, with a parallel online DIY channel operated through garagescreensetc.com. Pricing is dealer-quoted rather than manufacturer-published, and revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales, professional installation services performed by dealers, and accessories such as the Pet Keeper, Lift Assist Pole, Retractable Locks, and Frame Locks. The portfolio also includes the Mystic Motorized Screens sub-brand for exterior motorized screening and Screen Enclosures for porch areas. Marketing is conducted via social media, multilingual printed brochures, YouTube demonstration content, an HOA presentation program, and a dealer-locator tool on the company website. The business is small (1–10 employees), self-funded, and has not disclosed any external financing, acquisitions, or institutional ownership.

Direct peers

• Phantom Screens: Phantom Screens manufactures and distributes retractable insect screens for doors, windows, patios and garages across North America — a direct head-to-head competitor in the retractable garage/patio screen category with similar dealer/distributor go-to-market.
• Wizard Screens: Wizard Screens designs and builds retractable screen porches, patios and enclosures using similar spring/counterbalance mechanics; directly comparable product category (screen enclosures) and dealer model.
• EZ Screens: EZ Screens sells DIY modular screen porch and patio kits through dealers and online; competes for the same homeowner use case (extending usable outdoor/garage living space) with a more DIY/online-oriented GTM.
• Screen Tight (QMI): Screen Tight / QMI produces screened porch and patio screening systems and components; comparable product (porch/patio screening enclosures) and overlapping dealer channel in residential home improvement.
• Better Living (Sunstyle / Sunpro): Better Living produces motorized retractable screens for outdoor living (Sunpro/Sunstyle lines); directly overlaps Lifestyle's Mystic Motorized Screens sub-brand in the motorized exterior screen market.

Broad incumbents

• Larson Storm/Screen Doors: Larson is an established door manufacturer offering storm + screen door combinations for residential entry; broader portfolio but directly competes for the homeowner use case of converting a doorway/garage into a ventilated, multi-season space.
• Clopay (Garage Doors): Clopay is one of the largest U.S. residential garage door manufacturers; Lifestyle's screen is a complementary attachment to Clopay-installed doors, and Clopay's dealer relationships make them a potential channel partner or competitive gatekeeper.

Emerging players

• MagnaTrack (Insect Screens): MagnaTrack markets magnetic retractable screen doors for garages and entries; an emerging/specialty entrant targeting the same Lifestyle use case with a different (magnetic, no-spring) mechanism.

Others

• Phifer Inc. Phifer is a major manufacturer of insect screen mesh and sun-shading fabrics; not a direct channel competitor but a key upstream material supplier whose products appear in Lifestyle's screen options (fiberglass 18x14 and PVC-coated polyester SuperScreen).
