Benefits of Sunscreens


If you are looking for a way to cut out some of the heat that comes into your home though your windows sunscreens are often the least expensive window-shading option that preserves a view through the window. Sunscreen fabric is stretched over an aluminum frame like an insect screen. But the screening is a fabric that absorbs 65% to 70% of solar heat before it enters the home. Most of that heat is released to the outdoor air and never enters the home.

Sunscreens reduce the solar heating of insulated glass units, which tend to fail on the sunny sides of many homes. Sunscreens also slow down solar damage to drapes and indoor furnishings. Many homeowners have used sunscreens to enclose porches and carports, creating a cool zone against the walls on the home’s sunny side
It's like having a shade tree in front of your window without blocking the view. Exterior shading is the most effective way to block solar heat gain.

With a SunScreen, you can reduce your electricity bills without having to do any major construction! Let us make your home more energy efficient! Call today for a free estimate!

Power Washing

Pressure Washing and Exterior House Washing
Pressure washing is a great way to enhance the appearance of your home while removing environmental residue, dirt, bird droppings, and spider webs from the exterior of the structure. Remove stains from your driveway, or mold, algae, and other stains from your roof, entry, walkways or patio.
Benefits of pressure washing are:
• You have a nice clean home on the outside.
• Aside from being clean, pressure washing makes your home more attractive. This is very useful if entertaining or trying to sell a house.
• Restoration of concrete, brick, tile and other hard surfaces.
• Removal of dirt, oil stains, gum, moss, algae, and many other forms of unsightly grime.

Hard Water Stains


Hard water stains can be deceptive. Have you ever tried to clean the surface and remove them and you think it is gone, then the second it dries they all come back? Call me today. I have the tools and techniques needed to remove the stains before they become permanent.


If you have hard water in the home , it means that your H2O contains large amounts of minerals. The most common place hard water stains occur is on shower doors and on windows that get over spray from lawn sprinklers or runoff from stucco walls.
