    The Benefits of Betterliving External Shades

    When the sun is shining, its light pours through your windows and heats up your home. But those same windows trap the heat inside, which can make things pretty uncomfortable in the hot summer months. This is called the greenhouse effect, and it can happen anywhere that has unprotected windows.

    Solar shade installation means you have protection from the sun’s rays. This means a cooler, more efficient home, and it also means protection from fading for your furniture and hardwood flooring.

    The best part about solar shades for windows is that they will eventually pay for themselves.

    Increase Your Privacy 

    You make a relatively small investment up-front to get the Betterliving external shades you need, and then you see your cooling bill get lower and lower — delivering savings that will cover the cost of solar shade installation over time.

    Not only can solar shade installation help you save money, but it can also create increased privacy for your home. You can see out through solar shades, but others cannot see inside. Choose the fabric and color scheme you like best, and enjoy the home-enhancing attractiveness of solar shades, too.

    Your Betterliving External Shade Options

    You can enjoy motorized operation when you choose Betterliving external shades. Raise or lower all of your extrior solar shades at once using a common operator, or choose separate operators to give you greater flexibility in raising some while lowering others to best block the sun’s light. Choose from between two models:

    • Solar Shade Series I: These Betterliving external shades travel down a track when raising and lowering.
    • Solar Shade Series II: These Betterliving external shades also travel down a track, but they include a zipper that allows you to close off your porch or patio from mosquitos and other insects.

    No matter what series you choose, you can select your choice of fabric from among acrylic, PVC-coated polyester and fiberglass screen. When choosing polyester or fiberglass screen, you can also choose the level of opacity, from five to 40 percent, depending on how much light you want to let inside your home.

    John Reichart
    Very professional, straightforward, and clear on what information was needed to get pricing. After we approved Garrett to proceed with the window glass replacement, their installation tech did a great job. We didn’t even need to touch up the paint, as he neatly caulked the stop molding edge and nail holes after reusing the same nail holes from the original. The polycarbonate replacement looks clean and clear in the large old window sash. Thank you!
    Response from the owner:Thank you, John! We appreciate your kind words about our professionalism and the great job our installation tech did. It’s wonderful to hear that everything turned out so well with your window glass replacement.

    We had a second window install from Garretty Glass and could not be more pleased. The first 2 installers were Alika and Scott. Thank you! You 2 were true professionals. Our our second project was also with Harvey windows a great product. The 2 installers were Alika and another guy. Both were very knowledgeable and professional. Again a big a thank you! Appreciate the help Patrick gave us too.
    Response from the owner:Thank you, Bonnie, for your wonderful feedback! We’re glad to hear you were pleased with both your window installations and that Alika, Scott, and the team provided great service. Your appreciation means a lot to us!

    Mike Crowley
    Every once in a while a company comes along and goes the extra mile to make a customer just a little bit more satisfied. It’s real easy doing it that way. Like it’s more easy to be nice as it takes much more energy to be indifferent. They were just marvalous to work with and I must mention Dayne the tech who worked on my broken window and made it right. He was most professional, as good and as nice could be. Nick who handled the whole arrangment was just awesome also! Thanks guys for a great experience! Recomend them?

    My new four-season room was the second project Garrity Glass performed for me. Everyone at the company is professional, reliable, and works to the highest standards. My new room was the best investment I could have made to my house for beauty, enjoyment, and increase in resale value. From design to completion, the process was as easy and the product is beautiful. Thank you, Garrity.

    Eric Himes
    From estimate to completed job, we have been very pleased with Garretty. We replaced all the windows and one door with PA made Harvey windows. Alika, Garrett and Humberto were extremely professional, explained the work they were going to do and other than a brand new window, left no evidence that they had even entered each room! Would highly recommend this group for home improvement projects.
