Why Invest in Outdoor Living Space Shades?
Living in Inner West Houston means long, hot summers and blazing sun. With custom outdoor living space shades, you can transform a basic patio or porch into a year-round retreat.
These stylish shade systems can:
- Block harmful UV rays
- Reduce glare while maintaining airflow
- Offer daytime privacy from neighbors
- Improve curb appeal
- Help lower your home’s cooling costs
Whether you’re relaxing solo or entertaining guests, exterior shades and awnings help you enjoy your outdoor spaces longer and more comfortably.
Patio Shade Solutions That Work for Every Setup
No two homes are alike—and neither are outdoor spaces. That’s why we offer a range of patio shade solutions to fit any design, size, or function. Take a look at three popular options:
1. Exterior Patio Shades
Exterior patio shades are a sleek, space-saving way to shade patios, decks, balconies, and breezeways. These outdoor window treatments roll down from overhead or side-mounted casings and can be customized in UV-blocking mesh fabrics.
They’re perfect for:
- Covered patios
- Pergolas and arbors
- Lanai-style porches
Choose manual or motorized operation, or upgrade to smart home integration for the ultimate convenience.

2. Retractable Awnings
Want shade only when you need it? A retractable awning offers the best of both worlds. Extend it with the push of a button and retract it just as easily when the sun moves or weather changes.
Retractable awnings are great for:
- Outdoor dining areas
- Poolside seating
- Windows that face the afternoon sun
These exterior shades and awnings come in a wide array of durable, stylish fabrics from leading brands like Graber and Insolroll.
3. Outdoor Shades
For more extensive or unique areas, our outdoor shades are fully customizable and designed to suit your architecture and lifestyle. Think cable-guided systems, motorized drop-downs, and side-channel shades that blend seamlessly with your structure.
Popular features include:
- Wind sensors for automatic retraction
- Smartphone or voice control
- Elegant finishes and eco-friendly fabrics
Engineered for Houston Weather
Every solution we install is designed to stand up to Texas weather. Our outdoor window treatments are:
- Mold, mildew, and fade-resistant
- Made with rust-proof aluminum or steel components
- Backed by industry-leading warranties
- Installed by local professionals who know the climate
And because we handle everything—from design to measuring and installation—you get peace of mind along with great shade.
