At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we help Florida homeowners create outdoor spaces that are beautiful, durable, and made for year-round living. Serving Brevard and Indian River Counties, our team delivers expert craftsmanship on every project, from pool enclosures to hurricane protection.
Cocoa isn't a newer Space Coast development — it's one of the oldest towns on the Indian River, and it looks like it. Mature oak canopy over Cocoa Village, single-family homes dating back to the 1960s and earlier, and a walkable downtown that draws visitors headed toward Cocoa Beach all give the city a character that's different from the rest of Brevard County. Outdoor spaces here face a different set of problems than a brand-new subdivision would.
At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we install custom motorized screens in Cocoa designed around that older housing stock and riverside setting — not a one-size-fits-all Florida template.
A lot of Cocoa's charm comes from mature landscaping — big oaks, established shade, older lots that were laid out before HOA setback rules standardized everything. That's great for curb appeal, but it also means many patios and lanais here were built (or retrofitted) decades before motorized screens existed, with older track spacing, uneven slabs, or add-on aluminum framing that needs to be worked around rather than assumed.
Homes closer to Cocoa Village and Indian River Drive also tend to sit nearer the street and nearer each other than newer construction further from downtown — which changes what people actually want out of a screen system.
We install motorized screens for:
Each system is field-measured, since older Cocoa homes rarely have perfectly standard openings.
Cocoa Village draws steady foot and vehicle traffic as the route to Cocoa Beach, and homes along or near Indian River Drive and the main corridors through town don't always have the buffer that newer subdivisions build in. Privacy mesh lets homeowners close off street-facing patios, pool areas, and garage-conversion spaces without losing airflow — a common request from residents closer to downtown.
Cocoa's tree cover varies block by block. Homes shaded by mature oaks near the historic district usually need less solar mesh and more focus on airflow and bug control, while properties on more open lots — especially newer construction further from the river — deal with more direct afternoon sun and benefit from solar screen fabric that cuts glare and heat.
We assess your specific lot rather than assuming every Cocoa home needs the same fix.
Proximity to the Indian River Lagoon and the parks along the waterfront means humidity and mosquito pressure are a real factor for homes near the river, especially in the evening. Motorized screens create a barrier you can lower for outdoor use at dusk and retract during the day, instead of committing to a fully enclosed space.
For homeowners who want more than standard wind protection, we also offer hurricane-grade motorized screen options.
Homeowners throughout Cocoa trust Lafferty Aluminum & Screening because we focus on delivering custom outdoor solutions designed specifically for Florida living.
We provide:
Our goal is to help homeowners create outdoor spaces they can enjoy more comfortably throughout the year.
Some homeowners prioritize privacy, while others care more about airflow or heat reduction. Choosing the right mesh is one of the biggest factors in overall satisfaction.
Patios facing west or south often benefit most from solar mesh to reduce afternoon heat and glare.
If your outdoor space is exposed to stronger winds, reinforced tracks and wind sensors can help protect the screen system.
Proper alignment, tight track systems, and accurate measurements all impact how well your motorized screens perform over time.
