Custom Solar Screens in North Las Vegas
North Las Vegas gets the same desert sun as the rest of the valley — over 300 sunny days, summer temperatures above 110, and UV exposure that heats up your home from the outside in. If your windows don't have solar screens, all that energy is passing through the glass and making your air conditioner work harder than it needs to. Solar screens block 80% to 90% of the sun's heat on the outside of the window, keeping your home cooler and your energy bills lower.
What Solar Screens Do
Solar screens are mesh panels that mount on the exterior of your windows. They intercept the sun's heat and UV rays before they reach the glass. This is fundamentally different from interior blinds or curtains, which only block light after the heat has already entered your home. By stopping the heat outside, solar screens keep the glass cooler, reduce thermal stress on your window seals, and take a real load off your HVAC system.
The practical benefits add up: lower electric bills, less UV fading on your floors and furniture, reduced glare on TVs and screens, and added daytime privacy. Most homeowners recoup the cost through energy savings within 1 to 2 years.
Custom Built for Your Windows
Every screen we install is built to the exact dimensions of your windows. We don't use generic sizes. Here's what the process looks like:
- Free on-site estimate — we come to your home, measure every window, and provide exact pricing with no obligation
- Fabric selection — choose from Phifer and Textilene solar screen fabrics in 80% or 90% density, with color options including black, charcoal, brown, and desert tan
- Frame color matching — aluminum frames available in white, bronze, tan, black, and other colors to match your window trim
- Custom fabrication — screens are built to your measurements before installation day
- Professional installation — mounted securely with easy-removal hardware so you can take them off for window cleaning
Pricing
Most solar screens run between $150 and $300 per screen depending on window size, fabric density, and color. Larger or non-standard windows may cost more. We give you exact pricing during your free estimate — no surprises.
If you already have solar screens and they just need cleaning, we do that too: $10 per screen. Desert dust and hard water buildup can make screens look worn even when the fabric is still in good shape. A cleaning brings them back.
Start with the Windows That Matter Most
You don't have to screen every window at once. South and west-facing windows take the most direct sun and are where solar screens make the biggest difference. If you're working within a budget, start there. East-facing windows get morning sun, which is less intense. North-facing windows get minimal direct sun and are the lowest priority. We'll walk through your home's orientation during the estimate so you can make an informed decision.
