Outside & Exterior Shades in Coral Gables, FL
Historic Mediterranean homes with arched and oversized windows that need custom sizing. Inland Coral Gables homes take heavy afternoon heat rather than salt spray, so the priority is heat rejection and insulation at the glass. Our installers cover Coral Gables and the rest of Miami-Dade County from 4023 N Cypress Dr, Pompano Beach, which usually means a prompt measure appointment and a single installation visit for outside shades.
Exterior shades intercept sun, wind and rain before they reach the glass, which is far more effective than any interior fabric. They turn a hot patio or balcony into usable space and cut the heat load on the rooms behind them.

- UV-stable mesh and corrosion-resistant hardware suited to sun and coastal exposure

Outside & Exterior Shades in Coral Gables — FAQ
- How much do outside shades cost in Coral Gables?
- Price depends on the size of each opening, the fabric and whether you choose cordless or motorized lift. We measure your Coral Gables home for free and leave an exact written price, so nothing changes after the order.
- Do you charge for a measure appointment in Coral Gables?
- No. The in-home measure and quote are free anywhere in Miami-Dade County, and we bring fabric samples to your door so you can compare them in your own light.
- How soon can you install outside shades in Coral Gables?
- We schedule the measure in Coral Gables at a time that suits you. Fabrication time depends on the product and fabric and is confirmed with your quote, and most homes are installed in a single visit.
- Which fabrics hold up best in Coral Gables?
- Woven polyester and PVC-based fabrics with rust-resistant hardware. On coastal Miami-Dade County windows we avoid natural wood and untreated linen because salt exposure and humidity can shorten their service life.
