BLIND TYPES & OPTIONS
We install a full range of blinds and shades so you can match each room to the light, privacy, and budget you have in mind.
Aluminum Blinds
Slim metal slats in a wide range of colors. Durable, low-cost, and easy to clean — a practical choice for high-traffic rooms.
Vinyl Blinds
A budget-friendly, moisture-resistant option that holds up well in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
Soft Blinds
Fabric-based blinds that combine adjustable vanes with a soft, diffused look for gentle light control in living rooms and bedrooms.
Wood Blinds
Real wood blinds with natural grain, available in a range of stains and paints to match your trim and furniture.

Vertical Blinds
Built for wide windows and sliding patio doors. Slats rotate for light control and slide aside for a clear view.
Roller Shades
A single panel of fabric that rolls up and down, available in light-filtering to room-darkening and blackout fabrics for bedrooms and media rooms.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
How much do window blinds cost in Austin?
Cost depends on the material, window size, and number of windows. We provide a free, no-obligation estimate so you know the price before you commit.
-
What are the best blinds for Texas heat?
Faux wood and composite blinds hold up best in heat and humidity without warping, and solar roller shades help block heat gain through sunny windows. We can recommend the right option room by room.
-
Do you offer cordless blinds for homes with kids or pets?
Yes. Cordless blinds are available across most of our styles and are the safer choice for households with young children and pets.

ATTIC INSULATION
Adding attic insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to lower energy bills and improve comfort in an Austin home. In Central Texas, much of the heat that drives up your summer cooling costs comes straight through the attic, and many older homes have far less insulation than they should. Austin Window Screens installs blown-in attic insulation for homeowners across Austin and the surrounding area.
Add Attic Insulation to Your Home to…
- Lower your monthly heating and cooling bills.
- Keep indoor temperatures more comfortable and consistent.
- Reduce strain on your HVAC system.
- Cut down on outside noise.
- Bring your attic up to the R-38 level recommended for Central Texas.
SCHEDULE YOUR FREE ESTIMATE
WHAT IS BLOWN-IN ATTIC INSULATION?
Blown-in insulation is loose material applied evenly across your attic floor to a consistent depth. It fills the gaps and corners that rolled batt insulation can miss, creating a more complete barrier that slows the heat moving between your attic and the rooms below. It’s a fast, effective way to raise your attic’s R-value.
OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS
1
Free attic assessment. We inspect your current insulation, its depth, and any problem areas.
2
Prep and protect. We cover and protect your living space before any work begins.
3
Air sealing as needed. We seal gaps and leaks so your new insulation performs.
4
Install to R-38 or higher. We add blown-in insulation to an even, recommended depth.
5
Clean up. We leave your home cleaner than we found it.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
How much attic insulation do I need in Austin?
For the Central Texas climate, R-38 or higher is the recommended target for attics. We’ll measure what you have and tell you what it takes to reach it.
-
How do I know if my attic is under-insulated?
If your upstairs runs hot, your bills spike in summer, or you can see the tops of your ceiling joists in the attic, you’re likely under-insulated. A free assessment will confirm it.
-
Will attic insulation lower my energy bills?
It’s one of the most cost-effective efficiency upgrades in Central Texas, specifically because so much heat moves through the attic. Savings vary by home, but it’s consistently a high-return improvement.
-
Do you remove old insulation?
Yes, when old, damaged, or contaminated insulation needs to come out first, we can remove it before installing new material.
-
How long does the installation take?
Most homes are completed in a single day, depending on attic size and whether old insulation needs attention first.
WINDOW CLEANING
Clean windows make a noticeable difference in the appearance of your home. Austin Window Screens provides professional exterior window cleaning throughout Austin and the surrounding area using a water-fed pole system and 100% purified water for clean, spot-free glass without soaps or chemicals.
And because we specialize in window screens, we can take care of the entire exterior window at the same time — including safely removing, professionally cleaning, and reinstalling your insect screens or solar screens.
Have Your Windows Professionally Cleaned to…
- Remove dirt, dust, pollen, and buildup from exterior glass.
- Get a clean, spot-free finish using 100% purified water.
- Reach upper and hard-to-access windows safely from the ground where possible.
- Professionally clean your insect screens and solar screens at the same time.
- Keep your windows looking great year-round with recurring service.
SCHEDULE YOUR WINDOW CLEANING
100% PURE WATER WINDOW CLEANING
Our water-fed pole system uses purified water to clean the exterior glass, frames, and surrounding window surfaces. Because the water has been filtered to remove the minerals and impurities found in regular tap water, it dries naturally without leaving behind the mineral spots and residue that untreated water can leave on glass.
The result is clean, clear exterior glass without relying on soaps or cleaning chemicals.
WINDOW SCREEN & TRACK CLEANING
Cleaning the glass is only part of a clean window.
As a professional window screen company, we know how to properly remove, handle, clean, and reinstall both insect screens and solar screens. Professional screen cleaning can be added to your window cleaning service so dirty screens aren’t going right back over freshly cleaned glass.
Deep track cleaning is also available as an add-on for windows that need more than a basic exterior cleaning.
If you’re having new screens installed, window cleaning is also a great service to have completed beforehand so you’re starting with clean glass behind your new screens.
RECURRING WINDOW CLEANING
You don’t have to wait until your windows look dirty to have them cleaned again.
We offer discounted recurring window cleaning plans for homeowners who want to keep their exterior windows maintained throughout the year. Choose the schedule that works best for your home:
- Quarterly — Every 3 months
- Biannual — Every 6 months
- Annual — Once per year
Recurring customers receive discounted pricing compared with one-time service.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does residential window cleaning cost?
We price exterior window cleaning based on the number and type of windows being cleaned. Request a quote and we’ll provide clear pricing before scheduling your service.
-
Do you clean inside windows?
At this time, our residential window cleaning service is exterior-only.
-
What is pure-water window cleaning?
Our system filters ordinary water to remove minerals and impurities before it reaches your windows. The purified water cleans the glass and can dry naturally without leaving the mineral spotting associated with untreated water.
-
Do you clean window screens?
Yes. Professional cleaning for both insect screens and solar screens is available as an add-on. We can safely remove the screens, clean them, and reinstall them when we’re finished.
