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.
