V good service and high quality products. Assembly instructions good. Project came out excellent. Using a jig to keep frames square while pressing in the screen fabric is a must.

Advantages: They do an excellent job packaging. The materials arrived in perfect condition. Worth the extra shipping costs.

Purchase a DIY screen kit. Looked so good and was so easy that I bought 3 more to cover all of the windows on the west side of the house. Expect to do more later.

Advantages: Looks fabulous. Cannot tell the difference between mine and the professionally installed screens next door. Plus the cost is a fraction. Did 4 windows for what another company quoted for a single window.

Disadvantages: MUST keep the corners square while making the screen. Buy some inexpensive corner clamps to hold them square as you make the screen and it will work great!

Suited our purposes to reduce heat coming into our breakfast room from the transom window above our single French door leading to our deck. We had experience replacing screening in windows of our previous house and thought we'd try solar screen for our new home. The process was the same but the screen material being thicker than regular screen makes it a bit harder to roll the spline into the groove. My husband had to do that part. I'm happy with the results.

Advantages: More color choices than the home improvement stores and we were able to match the gray color of the solar screen retractable screen door we had installed over our deck door.

Disadvantages: Takes two people to get the screen into the frame on the square.

The kits I bought are great. Easy to assemble and install. Now I only have 25 more windows to go.

Advantages: Keeps out the Texas heat and allows more privacy.

Disadvantages: The clips I bought had to be cut off. Need some that are a inch long. I have to surface mount the screens and didn't want to a hole in the vinyl windows.

I ordered the screen kits to save a little money by doing it myself. They turned out great and really were pretty easy to put together. The screens look great on the house and I have had several neighbors and co-workers ask me about them.

Advantages: The extra privacy and cooler home. Yes they do make a difference.

Disadvantages: none
