Condo and Apartment Sunscreens Make for Comfortable Living

A Uniform Look Across the Community

Over the years, apartment and condo communities lose their clean, uniform look one window at a time. Screens get torn, faded, bent, stolen or just never replaced, and a property starts to look run down. New custom sunscreens on every window bring that uniform look back, give residents more daytime privacy, and cut the heat coming through the glass. They fit naturally into a renovation or exterior refresh.

Short and Long Term Returns

The first return is curb appeal. Prospective renters and buyers notice a property that looks consistent and well kept, and matching screens on every window are a big part of that.

The longer-term return is energy. Sunscreens stop the sun before it hits the glass, so the A/C runs less. That means lower cooling bills, whether the owner or the residents pay them, and less wear on the most expensive equipment on the property.

HOA Funds for Condos

HOA boards decide every year where community funds go, and sunscreen replacement often comes up. Large communities can be very reasonably priced, because measuring, building and installing for many buildings at once is efficient. We bid each property and phase the work by building to fit your budget cycle. Get in touch and our team will walk the property and put together a bid.

Owner-Paid Utilities

More Phoenix apartment owners now include utilities in the rent. Many older properties run a central system that cools a whole building or section, and it can be hard to keep every unit comfortable, especially the ones facing west and south.

Sunscreens help even that out by keeping heat off the glass on the hottest sides of the building, which cuts the load on the central system. Ask us whether SRP’s shade screen rebate applies to your property. For more on how we can help your community, call (602) 888-4548 or visit our contact page.
