Solar screens

How much do solar screens cost?

It depends on the size and number of windows, the fabric and how hard the windows are to reach. We measure on site for free and give you a quote. Our solar screen cost guide covers published ranges.

Do solar screens really help in Reno-Sparks?

Reno-Tahoe airport averages about 65 days a year at 90F or hotter, and UV is stronger at our elevation. Exterior solar screens stop much of the sun before it reaches the glass, which cuts heat, glare and fading.

80% or 90% solar screen fabric?

A tighter weave (90%) blocks more sun and looks darker; a more open weave (80%) keeps more view. See 80% vs 90%.

Should I take solar screens down in winter?

Some people remove south-facing screens to let winter sun in. See solar screens in winter.

Solar screens or window tint?

Screens stop sun outside the glass and can come off; film sits on the glass. See screens vs tint.

Do you work on businesses?

Yes. We install commercial solar screens on storefronts and offices.

Window screens and repair

Can you rescreen my existing screens?

Yes, when the frame is straight and solid. If it is bent or broken, we build a new screen. See rescreen or replace.

Do you make custom window screens?

Yes, made to measure for new or missing screens. See window screens.

Do you have pet-resistant screens?

Yes. Pet screens use a heavier mesh that stands up to claws and paws much better than standard screen.

Which screen mesh do you use?

Standard fiberglass insect mesh for most windows and doors, or pet mesh where dogs and cats reach. See screen mesh types and mosquito season.

How do I measure a window screen?

Measure the opening in several places. We do the final measuring ourselves; see how to measure.

Screen doors

What heights do your sliding screen doors come in?

We build custom sliding screen doors in 80 and 96 inch heights and any width.

What can you do for my sliding screen door?

Two things: we rescreen it with new mesh if the frame is good, or build a custom new sliding screen door measured to your opening. See why it won't slide.

Can I get pet mesh on a sliding screen door?

Yes. A new door or a rescreen can use pet mesh. Our screen doors page covers the options.

Quotes, discounts and areas

Is the quote free?
