Multifamily solar window screen installation in Houston TX

Writer's picture: Josh HobbsJosh Hobbs

Updated: Feb 11

This project entailed the installation of solar screens on more than 800 windows at a multifamily (apartment) community in Houston. The property posed several challenges, with numerous windows situated behind locked fences and iron gates. As a result, the installation process demanded substantial effort, involving extensive ladder climbing to traverse over brick walls, wooden fences, and secure gates.

Solar screens make everything look the same.  Solar Screens really dress the property up.
A common question we receive is, "Will solar screens enhance the appearance of my apartment buildings?"

Installing solar screens on all the windows of a multi-family complex contributes to a cohesive and uniform aesthetic for the property. This uniformity enhances the overall appearance of the complex. Additionally, solar window screens not only serve a functional purpose—such as providing shade and reducing energy costs—but they also add a polished look to the buildings, effectively enhancing their curb appeal.


Installing solar screens on apartment windows offers considerable benefits. They help control indoor temperatures, decrease glare, and reduce energy expenses by lessening the reliance on air conditioning. Furthermore, they shield against harmful UV rays, extending the lifespan of furnishings and flooring. In summary, solar screens are an effective way to improve comfort and efficiency in apartment living. They are an enormous asset to the tenants' quality of life.


Pricing for apartment solar screen projects

My pricing for apartment solar screens is quite affordable. Whenever I complete these properties, I reflect on the effort and expenses involved. It's astonishing how much we can achieve for a property with minimal investment.

Installed solar screen pricing for multi-family properties is extremely reasonable.
What is multi-family solar window screen pricing like? Is it affordable?

In contrast to something like painting, which is significantly expensive, installing solar screens on windows offers much more value for your money. This is why I believe many apartment rehabbers insist on installing solar screens during rehabilitation projects.


What areas of Texas do you offer apartment solar screen installation services for?

I specialize in central Texas Apartment solar screen installation services. Recently, a client of mine, who manages multifamily apartment properties across the country, reached out regarding a project in Houston. After exploring local apartment solar window screen installers in the area and finding their options unsatisfactory, they decided to have me handle the installation. I successfully completed the project, and as a result, I am now working on several more properties for them in Houston.

I installed my solar screens all throughout the central Texas area.
What part of Texas do you offer your multifamily solar sun-screen installation services for?

If you own a multi-family property in Houston and are interested in multi-family pricing for solar screens, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to discuss how I can assist you with your Houston multifamily solar screen project.


Shipping solar screens is an option.


I offer shipping as an option for large solar screen orders for apartment complexes.

If you manage or own multifamily properties that are located outside of my installation area, I offer the option to ship solar screens directly to your apartment community. I have extensive experience collaborating with apartment complex staff to facilitate a smooth self-installation process for the screens, ensuring that everything goes as planned.


What colors can we get for our apartment solar screen project?

What kind of colors can you get the solar screens made out of?
I have available 6 Fabric and 5 frame color options for apartment building solar window screens.

In my experience, utilizing a black fabric with a brown frame for apartment window sunscreen installations is the preferred choice, accounting for approximately 93% of my projects. This combination not only provides a clean and modern aesthetic appeal but also ensures that the black fabric and brown frame complement each other seamlessly, creating a cohesive look.

Looks best to cover all windows for an apartment complex. Just like we did with this Houston multifamily solar screen project.

To achieve optimal results, it is advisable to cover all windows completely, ensuring that every pane of glass is addressed. This approach promotes uniformity and prevents any areas from being left uncovered.

Covering all windows leaves no glass uncovered therefore creates consistency.
For uniformity, it is best to cover all windows of the property.

I recently completed a project for a property owner who was looking to reduce costs by installing screens over most of the windows but not all of them. Leaving some of the windows with their original bug screens. Actually, I have done two properties this way, one in Austin and one in San Antonio.


At the Austin, TX property, after the initial work was done, the owner reached out to me within 2 weeks, asking to finish the job. They decided to enhance the energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal by having solar screens installed on the remaining windows. I strongly recommend that property owners consider doing all of the window treatments at one time. Not only does this approach help save on overall costs, but it also creates a cohesive and polished look for the entire property.
