Dr. Peters graduated from Vanderbilt University (biomedical engineering) and received his medical degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport, Louisiana. He has been performing plastic surgery procedures for almost 25 years.

PHANTOM SCREENS

SOUTHERN SCREENS >>> Left to right: Don, Micah (aka '12') , Mike, Kandi, Doug, David, and Adrian. Not pictured: Megan We often fail to recognize major forks in the roads of our lives until we’ve traveled a good ways down the new path, and so it was for us in the Fall of 1997. Founders of the 2 time Chrysalis Award winning Atlanta-based residential remodeling company ‘SuperStructures’, my wife, Kandi, and I went in search of alternatives to traditional fixed screening systems for our own recently completely renovated home. Little did we know then where this search would ultimately take us. Intrigued by a new product named Phantom, we arranged to have 2 sets of something called ‘retractable screens’ to be installed on our new double french doors.

Once installed, we were delighted with both the style and operation of the screens, and we became dealers for the Georgia distributor on the spot. Initially marketing them to our remodeling clients, the Phantom Screens portion of the business took on a life and an identity of its own. In just 2-1/2 short years, given our explosive success as dealers, Phantom offered us an exclusive distributorship in the mid-south territory, and Southern Screens was born.

After founding Southern Screens in 2000, we relocated to Memphis in 2001 and began our new lives and business here. It was also in

2000 that Phantom introduced the Executive motorized screen providing the ability to screen in openings as big as 25'w x 16'h. The passing of the guard from old fixed screen systems to 21st century remote controlled walls of screen had begun. Phantom was then, and is still now, the future of the screening industry. What was novel in 2000 is almost de rigeur on finer homes now, and Phantom Retractable Screening Systems continue to set the standards of the very industry that they themselves created.

Over the years, we’ve added other product lines that have added to our ability to provide the finest quality Outdoor Lifestyle products including Insolroll solar/privacy shading, Sunesta Awnings and motored roof systems, Draper industrial solar shading, and Equinox operable pergolas.

But, at our core, our DNA is still Phantom and construction. So, while acquiring Phantom Screens for your home or business may not change your life as dramatically as it did ours, it will enhance your life and business by providing stylish and sometimes near-invisible on-demand protection from recurring annoyances like insects, glare, sun, and rain.

Our passion for what we do is truly organic. We were and still are customers first!

We stood up our COVID-19 Economic Relief Fund, providing supplemental funds for nonprofits which experienced a surge

in demand for their services. Our Free Tax Prep program instituted a low-risk, “social distanced” Drive-Thru Drop-Off process to allow us to still prepare tax returns — for free — for low-income families. Finally, we instituted our Relief Call Center, powered by Driving The Dream, which connected 2,500 individuals to impactful pandemic-related assistance.

Unwavering in our mission to improve the quality of life for Mid-Southerners by mobilizing and aligning community resources to address priority issues, we’re adapting to changing times and continuing to create lasting change. Please donate and learn more at uwmidsouth.org — to help us help thousands "move from where they are to where they dream to be!"
