Exterior Shades in Houston, Texas | Space City

Houston's Exterior Shades

Exterior Shades, Done Right.

Custom-measured for Houston homes, professionally installed, and supported from the first visit to the final walkthrough. We also install interior shades - see our Interior Shades page.

Our Primary Service

Take Back the Outside.

Exterior shades and awnings stop the sun before it reaches the glass. Custom-measured for your patio, porch or deck, and professionally installed, start to finish.

Stop the heat before it hits the glass

Exterior shading reduces solar heat gain before that energy passes through the window and starts heating the room.

Kill the glare, keep the view

Screen fabrics cut hard afternoon light while you can still see straight through.

Privacy on an open patio

Close in a porch or balcony without walling it off.

Bugs stay out

Keep the doors open and the bugs outside.

What Exterior Shades Cost

Your exact price depends on the size of the opening, the hardware and controls you choose, the fabric you pick, and what your specific installation requires. You'll get a clear, detailed quote after your free site visit, before anything moves forward.

Starting At

$2,499per opening

Financing available

Opening Size

Bigger openings need more fabric and stronger hardware, which moves the number.

Manual or Motorized

Hand-crank hardware starts lower. Motorized adds convenience and cost.

Fabric

Openness and durability tiers price differently. We bring samples to your site visit.

Built for Houston

Made to Perform. Made to Last.

Sun. Storms. Humidity.

Specified for what the Gulf Coast actually does to a patio, not for a milder climate somewhere else.

Hardware That Holds Up

Specified for Gulf Coast wind and heat, with clear guidance on when to retract the shade. Any manufacturer warranty that applies is explained at handover.

Always-Ready Fabric

Premium shade fabrics chosen to hold their color and their tension season after season.

Made to Fit

Measured on site for your opening. Nothing here is cut to a one-size-fits-all dimension.

How It Works

More Than a Roller Shade

A quality exterior shade is a system, not a sheet of fabric on a spring. Here's what's actually holding the sun and wind out.

Common Questions

Questions, Answered.

Pricing starts around $2,499 per shade and varies based on size, hardware, fabric, controls, selected options and site-specific installation requirements. Every shade is custom-made for your opening and your preferences. During your free site visit we'll measure the space, review your options and evaluate the installation area, and you'll receive a clear, detailed quote before moving forward.

Yes, interior shades are a separate service we offer in light filtering, room darkening and blackout options. See our Interior Shades page for details - it's the same crew, the same on-site measuring, and the same confirmation call before anything is ordered.

Qualified, well-trained technicians, held to one standard from the first measurement to the final walkthrough. And when you call, you reach a real person here, not an automated call center.

Yes, financing is available. Ask us about it when you request your quote and we'll walk you through the options that apply to your project.

Houston and ten surrounding counties: Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Liberty, Waller, Chambers, Austin and San Jacinto County.

Let's explore the options available for your space and find the right solution for your specific application. During your site visit we evaluate dimensions, structural conditions, mounting requirements, product capabilities and limitations, wind exposure where applicable, electrical requirements, and other relevant conditions before recommending what fits.

Every home and outdoor space is different. In some cases, additional preparation or modifications to your existing structure may be needed to properly and securely install your shade system. During your site visit we evaluate the opening, mounting surfaces, electrical requirements, clearances and surrounding finishes. If additional work is recommended, we'll explain what's needed, why, and how it affects your space before moving forward.

Very little. An occasional wipe-down and keeping the track clear of debris is usually all it takes. We'll walk you through the specifics for your shade at installation.

Installation is the completion of the project, not the end of our responsibility. Before we leave we walk you through operating and caring for your shades, and explain any manufacturer warranty that applies to them. After that you can contact us directly with questions about operation, service or warranty support, and you'll reach a real person here rather than an automated call center.

Available today: exterior and interior shades, which we measure and professionally install. Planned for the future: remodeling, roofing, plumbing, electrical and other home and outdoor solutions. None of those are bookable yet, and we won't take a booking for one until we're ready to deliver it properly. See our Others (Coming Soon) page for exactly where each one stands.

Let's Shade Your Space.

Free site visit, exact quote, no pressure. Financing available.

Whether you choose Space City or go another direction, we're glad to help you get there, and how we treat you doesn't change either way.
