Installers were great! The screens look great and have really helped out with the temperature of the house. We couldn't have expected the results we have gotten from the solar screens and the service was top notch. Highly recommended!

Nik was professional, polite, poised, personable and patient. He answered my questions and provided I put when I couldn't decide on the type/color of solar screen to have installed. I was pleasantly surprised by the short turnaround and the timelinesses of the entire process. I was completely satisfied by his responsiveness. I had contacted several companies and he responded first and came to assess what I wanted done before providing an estimate. I will definitely refer him to anyone wanting to have solar screens installed. The best experience with having work done to my home. I just want to say thank you and Jon very well done. CP

Where do I start!?! Personally feel like this is the best value for money upgrade we have ever done on our home. Called Nik, he came over, measured up, counted how many screens needed replacing, went away & built them, 10 days later they were installed. Process is very fast & very simple. Difference between the new & the old are night & day, old ones were shiny and off color, new ones match window color perfectly as well. Great service! Do not hesitate! Price is fantastic!

We had solar screen put on our home to reduce electricity. We got several quotes and the owner, Nick, gave an accurate estimate. Put them on in the time he said, caused no damage (the second story of our home is difficult) and just did an excellent job. Plus he's a nice guy. Highly recommend him.

Nik did a tremendous job finding the ideal custom screens for my house. Totally amazed by the reduction of transferred heat into my house. You will not go wrong by doing business with Southwest Solar. Highly recommended for the customer service and quality of work. Wish I could give 6 stars!
