Lone Star Solar Screens

Had a gentleman out on a Saturday, took measurements, gave me a quote on the spot. Made some good recommendations, including trying the screens only in the rear and 1 side of the house since my wife was nervous about the front and 2nd side of the house having the screens as well and whether the entire house would be too dark. The price for the remaining work would be the same even if they had to return to do it later. Ended up just having it all done. Only downside is that they could only say "It will be a week or so before they come in, someone will call you to schedule the install.". Nobody actually called to schedule, the installer just called and said "Can i install these now?". Fortunately we didn't have to be there, the installer would leave an invoice for me to contact the office to pay them. Convenient if using checkcard or credit card, not so much if paying with a check. Overall quality, price, and speed of service were good. Just need to work on their communication a bit more.

Well done, punctual and reasonable.

They were excellent. They were very good. I will use them again. The price was reasonable.

They did an awesome job. Fast and professional. Pauline was so helpful in helping me make a change on the screen color and writing up my request because I was not going to at home during the estimate. Alfonso left samples and the information at my door for my review.

John arrived early and went straight to work measuring the windows. He gave me the quote and I told him to proceed. He said it would take about a week. Imagine my surprise when I came home from work and the screens had been installed on the front of the house. They looked fantastic but was surprised I wasn't called to be at home. I did receive a call the next morning so that I could leave the gate unlocked so they could install the remaining screens. Again, I came home in the evening and the screens were all up and looked great. It was like having "elves". This was so hassle free and easy. I cannot believe I had put off doing this for years. This project couldn't have been easier!

These guys did a wondeful job. The quality of the workmanship is excellent. Installation was fast and the house looks great. This company was recommended to me by other people who were also delighted with the work. I cannot recommend this company enough, and I am very strict about who I say this about. The price was great as well.

I used the services of Better Than Ever Carpet Care. The owner;s name is Juve Rodriguez and he is a member of Angies's List. He operates out of Houston, Texas. His telephone number is 713-292-8089. He cleaned my carpets recently and he did an absolutely fantastic job. My carpets look brand new. His price was great. He did not overcharge like a lot of other carpet cleaning people in the area. His equipment was brand new and awesome! He does carpet cleaning and a lot of other services. All I have to say is give this man a call. You will be glad you did! He is a hard working family man and he will treat you correctly. Lisa in Sugar Land, TX

very pleased, fast, friendly and informative.

Quick, cheap work. Quality product.

The service was great! Lone Star was onsite within a few days of calling and provided an estimate within 10 min. They even gave me an exact time for the appointment (instead of a window), and were there on time! They then returned within a week to complete the service -- I did not have to be home for this appointment. The quality of work was fantastic... would definitely use LoneStar again!

A technician came out and provided a quote for my home. It was very affordable and I decided to go with them as opposed to another company that had provided a quote for the same job. They did make an error with one of my screens but they were able to come back out and install in a few days. I was very pleased when everything was all said and done. Pro: significantly less heat comes through the windows and the gridded screens look very nice from the curb- as a matter of fact, my neighbor decided to get them after seeing mine. Con: the screens did darken my home during the day.

Very well. Exactly as promised.

Very professional; clarified exactly what we wanted and installed earlier than they had expected.

Did so well the first time called them back to put solar screens on the front of the house. Made a huge difference in the electrical bill. Could not believe the change.

This is the third time (once in Dallas and twice in Houston) that I have purchased the black 90 Textilene solar screens for windows that face south. In all cases, Lone Star did a excellent job of staying in contact and promptly installing the screens. I would very much recommend Lone Star and the Textilene solar screens.

Fred came out a couple of times once to quote the job and the second to measure the windows. Date to measure 9/28/13 The install date was 10/16/13. Being in construction I know it would take at least a week to fab the screens. They did wash 3 of our tallest widows then installed the screens . In all the installation took about 3 1/2 hours they cleaned up and were gone. They did a great job for us. We will put the 90% to the test this summer. The main thing I wanted was to protect the wood floor from fadding with the three 26'x5' windows facing the east sun light.

It took a week for someone to come out and look at the window that needed a solar screen. You could tell they were disappointed that I didn't need my whole house done, It took almost 2 weeks to get the screens. I don't know if that is the norm or not.

Very professional, polite and punctaul both in person and over the phone. Great quality screens! We had 17 screens installed, 16 windows and one door, all fit perfectly. I was pleasnetly surprised that they neatly stacked our old screens in two piles (one in front, the other in back). No damage was done, and they were incredibly neat. Will definately reccomend, to all.

Called the company and asked if they served the New Caney area and she said no maam.

They are really expensive. They are a high end company. He was nice and cordial. He was up front about the cost and they could do custom installation. They have their own engineer.

This was a very good experience despite some of the older reviews out there. The Houston team was very cordial and professional. We set an appointment easily and Fred showed up on time. He measured that day and the screens were installed within 10 days as promised. We paid promptly and received the warranty shortly thereafter. I need to call them back out for a slight bowing at the top of the larger screens, but it's nothing that affects performance or appearance. most people probably wouldn't notice, but i'm just anal about some things. we'll see how that goes.

I previously posted a review that I was not pleased with the lack of response to a system message that I sent thru the Angie's List link. I received an apology letter in which the owner recognized that there was an issue with monitoring messages for the Houston location. As a good will gesture, they offered a 25% discount. Alfonso came to my house, measured my windows and gave me the quote. He indicated it would take a few days to have the screens made and he would be back the following Saturday to install the screens. He did return the following Saturday, 7-27-13, and installed the screens in about 30 minutes. They look good, do not make the room dark and should block 90% of the UV rays. I am glad that I gave this company another chance. Likely I will have additional screens made in the future and would recommend them to anyone considering solar screens.

Lone Star Shades did a great job! The price was very reasonable. We paid approximately 850.00 dollars for the windows for our entire home. We did not pay until the job was done. They forgot one window, and would not let us pay for the rest until the job was complete. The employees were fast, efficient and very respectful. The one thing that I would mention- this is a permanent installation. We did not wash the outside windows before the shades were on, and now I wish we had. The relief from the heat was immediate, and the AC actually cuts off during the day now, even in the heat of summer. We have already recovered part of the cost of the shades from the savings on our electric bill and given our older AC unit a chance to go for an extra year or two, we hope. Lone Star was willing to put shades on as few or as many windows as we liked, and there was absolutely no pressure at all to buy any more than we wanted. The representative said "It's up to you- you can always see how you like it and do more later." We were only going to do the windows on the side that faces the afternoon sun, but the price they quoted for those windows was so reasonable, we decided to have the whole house done at once to give a uniform look and better energy savings. Lone Star offers a 80% and a 90% coverage for the solar shades, and we went with the 90% to reduce the heat as much as possible. However, I was so excited that I did not read all the information well, and some of my plants are not happy with the sunlight reduction. If you have a lot of plants, you may want to consider less coverage. I am moving some plants to the porch and replacing them with low-light plants inside. I still may have chosen the 90%, but I do wish I had paid a bit more attention at the time. I would and will absolutely use Lone Star Shades again on our next home!

Had a great experience and we recommend them to several people in my neighborhood. He was very professional and very nice.

Was not punctual at all in calling me back. After saying that they could help me with installing thermal solar panels, they later called and said they do not do that service any more. It took a long time and multiple calls from me to get to this conclusion.
