These shades are great. Room is definitely darker for sleeping. The quality of the shade is impressive. We've purchased box-store shades before but these are much better quality. I am very happy with them. We can definitely tell a difference in the quality. Solar Shield is very easy to deal with. They take care of everything. No concerns or problems. Will definitely use them again in future. .

We are so happy with our window film and new blind! The installer, Matt, did an excellent job and is a real professional. Solar Shield is a very customer-oriented company, gave us very savvy advice, and were very prompt in keeping their appointments. Without hesitation, we would recommend them to our friends.

Tim came out to the restaurant, measured everything and gave us a quote on the spot. We got exactly what we wanted. There were no surprises. The installation team was very accommodating to our crazy schedule and the shades look PHENOMENAL! I wasn't surprised at all to see all the 5 star reviews. Here's another one. Great job, Solar Shield!

treatments were ready almost a week earlier than estimated. installation went quickly ... one window had roller shade installed which i would never have figured out how to measure, let alone put in. very pleased with everything and will consider having them help with future window treatments.
Description of Work: windows in two rooms needed new coverings. i wasn't sure if blinds or curtains would be better and was shown different options that would work. felt comfortable that what i chose would work best
