You stop avoiding your own outdoor space. That’s the real difference.
Right now, your patio probably sits empty from 11 a.m. until sunset because the heat makes it unbearable. Your outdoor furniture is fading. Your AC is fighting a losing battle against the sun pouring through those windows. And you’re stuck inside during the best weather months of the year.
Exterior roller shades fix that. They block up to 99% of UV rays before they ever hit your windows or your skin. Surface temperatures drop around 15 degrees in the shade. Your furniture stops bleaching. Your energy bills go down because your AC isn’t working overtime.
You get your outdoor space back. Morning coffee on the patio. Afternoon reading without squinting. Evening dinners that don’t require industrial fans. The space you paid for becomes usable again, and it stays that way through every Texas summer.
We’ve spent over 10 years installing window treatments across the Austin area. We’re a branch of A Plus Home Remodel, so we understand construction, measurements, and what actually holds up in Texas weather.
We’re local to the area. We know Garrison Park homes, the mix of modern builds and older properties, and what works in this climate. We’re not a national franchise reading from a script.
Every installation starts with a free consultation at your property. We measure, we talk through what you’re dealing with, and we show you options that fit your space and budget. Then we install it right the first time, backed by a 12-month warranty and two years of repair protection on chains and parts.
First, you schedule a free consultation. We come to your property in Garrison Park, look at the space, take measurements, and talk through what you need. No pressure, no upselling. Just real answers about what will work.
Once you decide to move forward, we order your custom exterior roller shades. These aren’t off-the-shelf products. They’re built to your exact dimensions with the fabric, color, and features you picked.
Installation day is straightforward. Our team shows up on time, installs your outdoor shade blinds with the right hardware and mounting, tests everything to make sure it operates smoothly, and cleans up completely. If you chose motorized shades, we’ll connect them to your Wi-Fi and show you how to control them from your phone or voice assistant.
You’re done. The shade works, your space is cooler, and you’ve got a warranty backing the whole thing.

Every exterior roller shade we install in Garrison Park comes with weather-resistant fabric designed for Texas conditions. That means UV resistance, heat blocking, and durability against wind and rain. The fabric won’t rot, fade quickly, or lose its shape after a season.
You choose the openness level. Tighter weaves give you blackout roller shades that block nearly all light and heat. Looser weaves let you keep your view while still cutting UV rays and dropping temperatures. Both options protect your furniture and reduce energy costs.
Motorization is available on any size. You can control your outdoor patio blind with a remote, smartphone app, or voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant. Manual operation works just as well if you prefer simplicity.
We handle the full installation, including all mounting hardware, brackets, and any adjustments needed to fit your specific structure. Whether you’re covering a pergola, patio, balcony, or exterior window, we custom-fit everything to your measurements. And because we’re local, we understand how Garrison Park homes are built and what mounting solutions work best here.
Most installations in Garrison Park run between $1,500 and $6,000 depending on size, fabric choice, and whether you add motorization. A standard patio shade for a 10-foot opening usually falls in the $2,000 to $3,500 range.
Larger spaces cost more because they require more fabric and heavier-duty hardware to handle wind load. Motorized options add to the price, but they also add convenience—especially if you’re covering multiple windows or a large outdoor area.
We give you an exact quote after the free consultation. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know what it costs before we order anything, and that price includes installation, warranty, and any adjustments needed to get it right.
Yes, but the savings depend on how much sun hits your windows and how much you’re currently spending on cooling. Exterior shades block heat before it reaches the glass, which is far more effective than interior blinds.
When you stop solar heat gain at the window, your AC doesn’t have to work as hard. Some homeowners see a noticeable drop in their summer bills, especially if they’re shading large west or south-facing windows. The fabric can block up to 94% of solar heat, and that makes a real difference in Central Texas.
You’re also protecting your furniture, flooring, and walls from UV damage. That’s not a monthly savings, but it’s money you’re not spending on replacements or repairs down the line. The shades pay for themselves over time through lower energy use and less wear on your belongings.
Quality exterior shades last 7 to 10 years or more with proper care. The fabric is engineered to handle UV exposure, heat, rain, and wind without breaking down quickly.
Texas weather is tough, but these aren’t the cheap roll-up shades you see at big box stores. The materials we use are specifically designed for outdoor conditions. They’re colorfast, dimensionally stable, and resistant to mold and rot.
You’ll want to clean them once or twice a year—just hose them down or wipe them with mild soap and water. Retract them during severe storms if they’re motorized, or lower them if they’re designed to stay down. Follow those basics, and your outdoor shade blinds will hold up through plenty of Texas summers.
Yes. Blackout exterior roller shades use a tighter fabric weave that blocks nearly all light and heat. They’re a good choice if you want maximum temperature control or if you’re trying to create a darker space for outdoor TV viewing or afternoon naps.
The tradeoff is visibility. Blackout fabrics don’t let you see through them, so you lose your view when they’re down. If that matters to you, a mid-range openness fabric might be a better fit. It still blocks most UV rays and heat while letting you see outside.
We’ll show you fabric samples during the consultation so you can see the difference. You can also mix and match—blackout shades on the west side where the sun hits hardest, and lighter shades on the north or east where you want to keep the view.
Yes. We install outdoor roller shades on balconies, second-story patios, and any elevated outdoor space. The process is the same—we measure, custom-build, and install with the right mounting hardware for your structure.
Elevated installations sometimes require different brackets or reinforced mounting depending on wind exposure and how the space is built. We assess that during the consultation and make sure everything is anchored properly.
Motorization makes more sense on upper-level installations because you won’t want to manually raise and lower a shade every time you use the space. You can control it from inside before you even step outside, which is more convenient and safer than leaning over a railing to adjust a manual shade.
Motorized exterior roller shades connect through Wi-Fi or a compatible hub, depending on the system. Once connected, you control them through an app on your phone, a remote, or voice commands via Alexa or Google Assistant.
Setup takes about 10 minutes after installation. We walk you through it, connect the shades to your network, and test the controls to make sure everything responds correctly. After that, you can set schedules, group multiple shades together, or control them individually.
If you don’t have a smart home system, the shades still work perfectly with the included remote or app. You don’t need a full automation setup to get the convenience of motorized outdoor patio blinds. But if you do have one, integration is straightforward and adds another layer of control to your home.
