Had 19 screens made for my home. Info, cost and date for sizing was easy and on time. One screen did not fit properly. No fuss, no muss, Josh said he will have it resized and in place in 1 week. That's exactly how it was done. Now that's the way to do business. Looks good, priced right and service with a smile. Thank you.

I had the most incredible experience using Josh to do my solar screens! Not only did the screens transform the look of my home but the entire process with Josh was easy & worry free. He spelled everything out step by step how it would all go down and it went just as he explained. He's thorough and extremely professional. I've even already noticed a temperature difference in my home when I arrive from work. As a business owner myself words can not express my gratitude for how this man runs his business. If you're looking for solar screens LOOK NO FURTHER!

Outstanding owner, service and product! Our solar screens, after 18 years of abuse from the sun, window cleaners, vegetation abrasion, etc. were in sad shape. Based on reviews we had Josh quote a total replacement of 40 screens. Josh explained where we needed 90% screens and where 80% was enough. The new screens had a much studier frame and the screen material was much higher quality than what we had previously.

These are some serious screens. The color recommendation was spot on and our home has a nice uniform appearance. I am already seeing an improvement in temperature control in the home. I have a west facing den that used to reach 80 degrees in the afternoons (the thermostat is set at 75 but is in a much cooler location). Now that room reaches only 77-78 degrees on the sunniest of days. That's these solar screens working!

I was reticent about paying 100% up front as I'm at best a 50-50 or 33-33-34 type of person but any fears were abated as we had a mix up on the frame color and when we decided the "wrong" frame color was okay, Josh gave us a nice credit for doing so. Who does that today? A high integrity business, that's who! I highly, highly recommend Josh.

I relied on a Facebook recommendation from a neighbor to use Josh Hobbs for replacing my home's window screens, and it paid off! I was not satisfied with the quality of the screens on my house when I bought it two years ago, so I called Josh and described the specifics of my situation. He listened carefully, visited my home to see the situation, took measurements, and tailored a screen plan specific to the needs of my home, Along the way, he gave me links to videos that described exactly how he built and installed his screens, which was very helpful to my understanding. And, he was very patient and pleasant with me throughout the process.

He even got me a good person to clean my windows before screen installation. I could not be more satisfied with Josh Hobbs' finished product. Josh put in well-made, perfectly installed, and beautiful screens specifically tailored to my windows so the fit and quality are excellent. It is such an improvement over what I had before, and I am completely satisfied with the finished result. His price was more than reasonable (I actually told him he should be charging more than he did due to the quality of his work). I highly recommend his services.

Our business with Josh was outstanding. From the first phone call, he showed his awesome customer service. We are so pleased with our screens. Our house looks fabulous and the service we received was great. When we picked up our screens there were some missing, from the order. Not only did Josh promptly, correct the order, he installed them for us when they came in. From ordering, to us installing our DIY screens, the process and service was outstanding. We will HIGHLY recommend Josh to our friends and family.

Josh and his team have outfitted my home with solar screens 2x. In addition, he made roll up shades that I installed myself. Both are a game changer in terms of cooling, privacy, and even warmth. Josh stands behind his work and products.

Really impressed with this company and we love our solar screens. Their website is really helpful as far as estimating the total cost. We were able to easily schedule a free estimate appointment online and didn't even need to be home when they came to measure. The cost was really reasonable so we decided to go for it. They came out a week later (again, no need for us to be home) when they said they would--and did the job correctly and the screens look great. Super customer service and affordable!

From start to finish, they made the process easy, were always quick to respond to questions, and did a remarkable job with installation and clean up as well. Not only have we already noticed a difference in our thermostat running less, but the outward appearance if brought to our home is a big bonus too!

Yesterday, Josh installed our solar screens. He and Mike were very professional when they were installing. They even got rid of our old screens for us. When they installed the screens on the hottest bedroom, it's like it cooled down about 10-15 degrees! Will definitely use their services again and will refer them also. Great job Josh!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience. The whole transaction was done on-line & I never even had to take off work. They went out & measured, emailed me an invoice & I had new screens 5 days later. I was very happy with the customer service & the product.

From first inquiry phone call to the internet to the actual job, this is top notch service! They came out, measured and in a week we had our installation. Support local business. This is not a huge corporation. The quality of screens and installation was high. Several color options for the screening and the frames to perfectly match your home's exterior. So if you are looking to bring some great shade to your windows and a great look overall to you home, call Josh Hobbs. Thanks guys!
