Solar screen work should lower heat gain, cut glare, and still look clean on the home. Elite Screens New Orleans has served New Orleans since 2017, installing and repairing solar screen panels for windows, doors, patios, and enclosures with durable frames and tight, even mesh.
Every solid solar screen job starts with accurate measuring and stable framing. We verify opening sizes, squareness, and mounting surface condition (wood, aluminum, vinyl, or masonry) and check for loose trim, deteriorated caulk, and water intrusion before we build anything. Panels are fabricated with corrosion-resistant aluminum screen frame stock, reinforced corners, and stainless steel fasteners where needed, then fit with the correct retention method such as spline (for screen rails), turn buttons, or concealed clips depending on the system. If the request is a repair, we inspect bent frames, broken corners, pulled spline, and torn mesh so the fix solves the cause, not just the symptom.
Local heat, humidity, and storm-driven rain demand materials and tension that hold up over time. For solar screen mesh, we help you choose the right openness factor and color (commonly charcoal or black for better outward visibility) and confirm that shading will not block required egress or interfere with window operation. Frames get set for consistent reveal lines, tight corners, and smooth movement if the screen is a removable panel, sliding panel, or door insert. We finish with clean edges, proper spline seating, and sealed fastener penetrations when mounting to exterior substrates, then confirm screens sit flat without bowing, rattling, or rubbing.
New Orleans customers choose us because we treat solar screen work like finish carpentry, clean lines, correct hardware, and no shortcuts. We are licensed and insured, and we give a free written estimate with clear scope, mesh selection, frame color options, and lead time. Crews show up with the right equipment, ladders and stabilizers, laser measure, snips, screen roller, spline, corner press, and stainless hardware, so the job gets done without improvised fixes. You get practical guidance on where solar screens make the biggest difference, west-facing windows, sunrooms, patio doors, and large glass openings.
At the end, we walk the project with you and test function on every opening. We verify consistent fit, no light gaps, uniform mesh tension, and smooth removal and re-installation for cleaning or storm prep. You receive a written summary of what was installed or repaired, mesh type and color, frame finish, and the hardware used, plus care tips for washing and preventing spline creep. If we repaired existing panels, we point out any frame fatigue or mounting issues to watch so you can plan the next step before it becomes a full replacement.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after measuring and confirming mesh type, frame condition, and attachment method.
In most cases, yes. We’ll identify the closest mesh type (fiberglass, aluminum, solar, pet-resistant) and match common colors like charcoal or black for consistent visibility.
We do both. If the frame is bent, corners are loose, or tracks and rollers are worn, we can repair or replace components so the new screen performs correctly.
Timing depends on enclosure size, number of panels, and whether framing repairs are needed. After an on-site measure, we’ll give a clear schedule with expected start and completion dates.
Yes. We work with property managers and businesses on patio enclosures, entry screening, repairs, and repeatable maintenance plans with consistent specs.
A solar screen is a purpose-built exterior or removable screen panel that reduces solar heat gain and glare before sunlight hits the glass. Installed correctly, solar screens can make rooms more comfortable, ease strain on HVAC systems, and protect furnishings from UV fade, while still allowing airflow when windows are open. Elite Screens New Orleans installs and repairs solar screen panels for homes and commercial properties, matching the right mesh, frame, and mounting method to the opening and the way you use the space.
Our process starts with a site check and measurements, then we confirm your goal: reduce afternoon glare, cool a sunroom, add privacy, or cut UV exposure on furniture and floors. We install solar screen mesh in corrosion-resistant aluminum frames using the correct spline diameter and consistent roller pressure, which helps prevent waves, pull-out, and early sagging. If your existing panels are worth saving, we can rescreen them, replace broken corners, straighten light bends, and correct mounting hardware so the panel sits flat and secure.
Because performance depends on details, we also review orientation, window type, and how the screen will be removed for cleaning or storm season. We can build fixed panels, removable panels, or door inserts and match frame color to existing trim for a cleaner exterior look. On installation day, we verify alignment, clearance, and rattle-free fit, then test removal and re-installation so you are not fighting tight clips or stripped fasteners later.
If you are comparing options, solar screen panels are a practical upgrade when you want exterior shading without changing the window itself. You get a cleaner, more comfortable interior, better glare control on TVs and workspaces, and a finished appearance outside. Request a free written estimate and we will recommend a solar screen setup that fits your openings, your budget, and the way you use the property.
Call now or send a request and we will reach out within one business day to schedule your free, no-obligation estimate in New Orleans. We assess the project, review the details, and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect.
