What problem are you trying to solve outside?
The right outdoor covering starts with how the space is used. We help match the product to the problem, not the other way around.
Too Much Sun & Heat
Reduce harsh sun, heat, and glare so your outdoor space feels more comfortable during the day.
Need More Privacy
Create more privacy from neighbors, streets, or nearby homes while still keeping the space open and inviting.
Bugs & Outdoor Comfort
For covered areas, certain shade and screen systems can help make porches and patios more usable.
Light Rain & Weather
Improve comfort and usability with solutions designed for shade, wind considerations, and light weather protection.
Designed around your space, goals, and structure.
Outdoor coverings are not one-size-fits-all. The best option depends on your opening size, structure, sun direction, wind exposure, privacy goals, and how enclosed you want the area to feel.

Outdoor covering FAQs
How much do custom outdoor coverings cost?
Pricing depends on product type, opening size, fabric, controls, structure, mounting conditions, electrical needs, and installation requirements. Use the estimator above for a general starting range.
What is the difference between zipper track and cable guided shades?
Zipper track shades use side retention to help keep the fabric more controlled along the edges. Cable guided shades use side cables for guidance and can have a lighter appearance, but they may allow more side movement and gaps depending on conditions.
Can outdoor shades help with bugs?
They can help improve comfort in many covered areas, especially when openings are well planned. However, outdoor shade systems are not always fully sealed like a permanent wall or window system.
Do you handle electrical work?
Motorized outdoor products may require power. Electrical work, wiring, permits, structural modifications, and related trades may be separate unless specifically included in the proposal.
