What we install

Three things, made to measure.

Every opening is measured, every screen and panel is made for it, and the same people who measured it install it. Most patios end up with two of the three.

Motorized Screens

Shade that comes down when the sun does.

Exterior screens on Somfy motors, in zipper tracks, lowered from a housing above the opening.

How it goes

Five steps, one firm from the first call.

  1. 01

    The call

    Fifteen minutes about the patio, the sun and what bothers you about it now. Photographs help.

  2. 02

    The visit

    We measure every opening, check the slab and the beam, and look at where power can reach.

  3. 03

    The design

    Fabric per opening, screens or panels, how they are controlled, and one written price.

  4. 04

    The install

    Made to the measurements, installed by the people who measured, and set so every screen stops level.

  5. 05

    The years after

    Cleaning, adjustment and repair, from the firm that put them in.

The fabric

See the yard through it before you choose.

The fabric decides how much of the view you keep and how much sun you stop. Compare the Phifer weaves we install, by day and after dark, then ask for the sample.

What clients say

In their words.

We’ve seen a huge difference in comfort during summer. Their team knew exactly what our space needed.
Nadia
From design to installation, the team was punctual, professional, and attentive to detail. It’s like adding an outdoor room to our home!
James
I appreciated the upfront pricing and smooth communication. The crew was respectful and efficient throughout the process.
Kevin
We hired them for a commercial patio project, and the result exceeded expectations. The space is now inviting and usable year-round.

Part of the house

Screens on the same keypads as the rest of the house.

Outdoor Shades is a Blue Note A/V company. Blue Note has designed and installed audio, video, lighting, shading and automation in Dallas–Fort Worth homes since 2006. It is why a set of patio screens can lower on a timeclock with the interior shades, or from the same app that runs the house.

The samples live in our Farmers Branch showroom, where you can see the fabrics in daylight before you decide.
