From our first conversation to the final reveal, we make upgrading your windows simple and stress-free.
Homes around Clear Lake and Galveston Bay deal with salt air, high humidity, and bright light reflecting off the water. These are the options that hold up best near the coast.
Composite and polymer shutters will not warp, swell, or peel in salt air and humidity, and they wipe clean in seconds. Tilt the louvers to cut glare off the lake while keeping your view, or close them fully for privacy and storm-season peace of mind.
Faux wood blinds give you the warm look of wood without the risk of bowing in steamy bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. They are a budget-friendly way to cover many windows at once, and cordless lifts keep things tidy and safe for kids and pets.
Solar roller shades are made for lake-facing and west-facing glass. They reduce heat and glare while keeping the view, and blackout fabrics handle bedrooms. For tall windows or wide sliding doors, motorized lifts make daily use easy.
Lake-facing windows in Clear Lake take in glare off the water for most of the afternoon, along with the heat that comes with it. These are the window coverings we install most often in Clear Lake homes to cut heat, control glare, and keep privacy without giving up the view.
Solar roller shades cut glare off the water and block much of the sun’s heat and UV while you can still see out. A 3% or 5% openness fabric is the usual choice for living rooms and patio doors that face the lake.
For bedrooms and west-facing rooms, blackout roller shades or cellular shades stop more heat than a solar fabric. Many Clear Lake homeowners use a solar shade by day and a blackout shade at night.
Neighbors and boat traffic can see in more than you might expect. Top-down/bottom-up cellular shades and light-filtering roller shades let daylight in while blocking the view into your home.
Solar roller shades are usually the best fit. They cut glare and heat off the water while keeping your view. For bedrooms, add a blackout roller shade or a cellular shade to block more heat and light at night.
Yes. Solar and blackout roller shades stop a large share of the sun’s heat at the glass, and darker or blackout fabrics block the most. For the strongest insulation, cellular shades trap air in their cells and slow heat moving through the window.
