Who is Linda?

Linda, lives in Peoria, Arizona, and has been using Roll-A-Shield’s rolling shutters for over five years. Her home, built in 2019, is in the mountains, offering beautiful views but also exposing her family to extreme weather.

 

Linda faced several challenges in her new home. The hot Arizona sun, strong winds, and the need for better security and privacy made regular window coverings not good enough. She needed protection from the harsh weather, which made her home vulnerable and uncomfortable.

 

The Challenge

Linda faced many challenges in her new home in Peoria, Arizona. The extreme weather, especially the hot sun and strong winds, made regular window coverings not good enough. Linda and her family first tried using a canvas sail to protect their home, but it didn’t work well. The sail couldn’t stand up to the strong winds and sand, leaving their home exposed.

The canvas sail was an expensive mistake for Linda. Even though it wasn’t cheap, it didn’t meet their needs. Linda ended up using the sail to cover her plants during cold weather, but it wasn’t the solution she needed for her home. This showed her that she needed something stronger and more reliable to protect her home and keep it comfortable and safe.

In her search for a better option, Linda talked to another rolling shutter company but was not impressed with their service. She found Roll-A-Shield’s products to be of higher quality and liked the knowledgeable and helpful salesperson who answered all her questions. Linda wished they had chosen Roll-A-Shield’s rolling shutters from the start because they met all her needs and provided the protection her home needed.

 

 

The Solution

Before deciding on Roll-A-Shield’s rolling shutters, , Linda tried various solutions to combat the extreme weather conditions in Peoria.

Canvas Sail: One of the first things Linda tried was installing a canvas sail to protect her home from the intense sun and strong winds. While it helped a bit at first, it didn’t take long to see it wasn’t enough. The sail couldn’t stand up to the powerful winds and sandstorms that often hit the area.

 

“We used a canvas sail, however, there was no way that it would be able to serve its purpose and give us protection for our home. The canvas sail also wouldn’t be able to hold up the inclement weather that we have out in Peoria—big, gusty winds and sand,” Linda explained. This solution left her home exposed and vulnerable, not giving the protection she needed.

 

Other Rolling Shutter Company: In her search for a better solution, Linda also looked into another rolling shutter company. However, she wasn’t impressed with their sales staff or support. Their lack of professionalism and confidence made Linda doubt they could meet her needs. This experience made her more sure about choosing Roll-A-Shield.

Linda found Roll-A-Shield’s products to be of higher quality and liked the knowledgeable and helpful salesperson who answered all her questions. She emphasized that the warranty and guarantee offered by Roll-A-Shield, along with their great customer service, were key factors in her decision.

 

The Results and Benefits

Linda saw many benefits after installing Roll-A-Shield’s rolling shutters, improving her home’s comfort, security, and energy efficiency.

 

Enhanced Security

Since installing the rolling shutters, Linda has noticed substantial improvements in her home’s security and privacy. “We’ve noticed a considerable reduction in wind and sand infiltration. The shutters have made our home much more comfortable and secure,” Linda shared. 

 

The rolling shutters have provided a robust barrier against the harsh elements, eliminating crevices and potential points of entry for wind and sand. This added layer of protection has given Linda and her family greater peace of mind.

Energy Efficiency

Linda observed a noticeable difference in indoor temperatures, especially during the scorching Arizona summers. “In the summer, we have about 115 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures. When I walk into the master bedroom with the shutters down, there is a noticeable change in temperature,” she noted. The rolling shutters helped keep her home cooler, reducing the need for excessive air conditioning and saving energy.

 

Extra Comfort

The rolling shutters have also made Linda’s home more comfortable. By blocking out the intense Arizona sun and insulating against extreme weather, the shutters have created a more stable and pleasant indoor environment. Linda emphasized that the shutters still work great even after five or six years, proving their long-term reliability.

 

Aesthetic Variety

The wide range of color options for the rolling shutters allowed Linda to match them perfectly with her home’s exterior. This not only provided functional benefits but also made her home look better. The shutters seamlessly blended with the patio, stucco, and other exterior elements, adding to the home’s visual appeal.

 

Linda’s Final Message to Roll-A-Shield Customers

“If you’re facing similar problems, don’t waste your time or money on solutions that don’t work. I can’t stress enough how much of an investment these rolling shutters are. They are well worth it. They provide real peace of mind, especially if you have vulnerable areas like glass doors. We wouldn’t feel comfortable without them, given that our bedroom door is made of glass and faces the outside. The rolling shutters have been perfect for us.”
