You stop avoiding your own outdoor space. The glare that made your patio unbearable from May through September gets cut by up to 99%, and the temperature drops enough that sitting outside doesn’t feel like punishment anymore.
Your furniture stops fading. That outdoor couch you spent good money on keeps its color because it’s not getting blasted by UV rays eight hours a day.
Your energy bill goes down. When you block heat before it hits the windows, your AC doesn’t have to fight as hard to keep the inside comfortable. Exterior roller shades do that job better than anything installed inside ever could.
You get privacy without losing airflow. Solar screen fabrics let you see out during the day, but people walking by can’t see in. You control the view, the light, and the temperature all at once.
We come from a construction background, not a sales floor. We’ve spent over a decade in home remodeling across the DFW area, so we understand how homes are built and how outdoor products need to perform in Texas weather.
We’re based locally and we use Texas-made products whenever possible. That matters when you’re dealing with 105-degree summers and the occasional hailstorm. The materials we install are built for this climate, not just rated for it.
Burleson homeowners deal with the same challenges as the rest of Johnson County: relentless sun, rising energy costs, and outdoor spaces that sit empty half the year because they’re too hot to use. We’ve been solving that problem throughout the metroplex with custom exterior roller shades that actually hold up.
It starts with a free consultation at your home. We measure the spaces you want to cover, talk through how you use your outdoor areas, and show you fabric samples so you can see the difference between 90% blockage and 95%. We’re not there to upsell you—we’re there to figure out what actually works for your setup.
Once you decide to move forward, we custom-build your exterior roller shades to fit your exact measurements. Width, drop length, mounting style, motorized or manual—it all gets spec’d to your space. Most outdoor patio blinds can go up to 26 feet wide if you need that kind of coverage.
Installation day is straightforward. Our team shows up with everything already built and ready to mount. We handle the brackets, the alignment, and the final adjustments so the shades operate smoothly. If you went with motorized exterior shades, we program the controls and walk you through how to use them.
After install, you’re done. The shades are up, they work, and your outdoor space is immediately more comfortable. If something ever needs adjustment, we’re a local call away.

You get custom-measured outdoor roller shades built specifically for your patio, porch, pergola, or covered deck. Every shade is made to order based on the dimensions we take during your consultation, so there’s no guessing or adjusting generic sizes.
The fabrics are designed for outdoor use. That means UV-resistant, water-resistant, and built to handle wind without tearing or warping. You can choose your level of sun blockage depending on whether you want full shade or just glare reduction. Most Burleson homeowners go with 90% to 95% solar screens because it keeps the heat out but still lets in enough light to see.
Motorized options are available if you want to control your shades with a remote or integrate them into a smart home system. Manual operation works just fine too—it’s a smooth pull system that doesn’t require much effort even on larger outdoor shade blinds.
You also get professional installation from people who’ve done this hundreds of times. We mount everything securely, make sure it operates correctly, and clean up when we’re done. The goal is for you to have functional, durable exterior roller shades without dealing with any of the hassle yourself.
Custom exterior roller shades in Burleson typically run between $150 and $500 per window or opening, depending on size, fabric choice, and whether you add motorization. Larger spaces like full patio covers or wide pergolas will cost more because of the material and engineering required to span those distances.
The price reflects custom manufacturing and professional installation. You’re not buying something off a shelf—you’re getting shades built to your exact measurements using outdoor-rated fabrics that can handle Texas weather. Cheaper options exist, but they usually fail within a year or two because they’re not designed for the heat and UV exposure we deal with here.
Motorized exterior shades add to the cost, but they’re worth considering if you have multiple shades or large installations. Being able to lower everything with one button makes a difference when the sun shifts or a storm rolls in. We’ll walk you through the options during your consultation so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Yes, and the reason is simple: they block heat before it reaches your windows. When sunlight hits glass, it turns into heat inside your home. Your air conditioner then has to work harder to remove that heat. Exterior roller shades stop that process at the source.
By blocking up to 95% of the sun’s heat outside, you reduce the thermal load on your AC system. That means it cycles less often and uses less energy to maintain the temperature you want. Homeowners across the DFW area report noticeable drops in cooling costs during summer months after installing outdoor shade blinds on south- and west-facing exposures.
The savings add up over time, especially in Burleson where we’re running AC from April through October. You won’t see a 50% reduction in your bill, but a 10% to 20% drop is realistic depending on how much glass you’re covering and how much direct sun those areas get. It’s one of the few home upgrades that actually pays you back.
Quality exterior roller shades are built to handle normal wind conditions, but they’re not designed to stay down during severe storms. The fabrics we use are UV-resistant and water-resistant, and the mounting systems are engineered to stay secure under typical outdoor conditions in Texas.
When high winds are forecasted—like during a thunderstorm or strong front—you should retract the shades. Leaving them down in 40+ mph winds puts unnecessary stress on the fabric and hardware. If you have motorized options, this takes seconds. If they’re manual, it’s still a quick process.
Most damage we see happens when homeowners forget to raise the shades before a storm. The shades themselves are durable, but no outdoor fabric product is meant to act as a windbreak during extreme weather. Treat them like you would an awning: use them for sun and light rain, retract them when conditions get rough. Follow that rule and they’ll last for years without issues.
Solar screens are designed to block heat and UV rays while still allowing some visibility and airflow. They’re the most common choice for exterior roller shades because they reduce glare and temperature without making your outdoor space feel closed off. You can see through them during the day, and they typically block 90% to 95% of the sun.
Blackout roller shades block 100% of light. They’re used when you need complete darkness or total privacy, like for outdoor movie setups or fully enclosed patios. Blackout blinds for windows are more common indoors, but they can be installed outside if that’s what your space requires.
For most Burleson patios and porches, solar screens make more sense. You get the heat reduction and UV protection without losing the outdoor feel. Blackout options are available if you need them, but they’re usually overkill unless you have a specific use case. We’ll help you figure out which fabric type matches how you actually use your space.
Installation usually takes a few hours depending on how many shades you’re having installed and whether they’re motorized. A single patio opening might take an hour. A full outdoor living area with multiple shades and motorization could take half a day.
The timeline starts after your consultation. Once we have your measurements and fabric selection, the custom shades are built to order. That manufacturing process typically takes one to three weeks depending on the time of year and current demand. Once they’re ready, we schedule your installation at a time that works for you.
On installation day, we show up with everything pre-built. There’s no on-site cutting or guessing. We mount the brackets, hang the shades, test the operation, and make any final adjustments. If you went with motorized exterior shades, we program the system and show you how to use the controls. Then we clean up and you’re done. The whole process is designed to be as quick and non-disruptive as possible.
Yes. If something needs adjustment or repair after installation, we handle it. Most issues are minor—a shade that’s not retracting evenly, a motor that needs reprogramming, or a bracket that needs tightening. We’re local to the DFW area, so getting someone out to your home in Burleson isn’t a complicated process.
The shades themselves are built to last with minimal maintenance. The fabrics are designed for outdoor exposure, and the hardware is commercial-grade. You’re not dealing with a product that requires constant attention. That said, things can happen—a storm, an accidental snag, normal wear over time.
When you work with a local company that does its own installations, you’re not calling a 1-800 number or waiting weeks for a third-party service tech. You call us, we schedule a time, and we fix it. That’s one of the main reasons to go with us instead of a big-box retailer. You get the same people who installed your outdoor patio blinds to come back if you ever need help.
