Indoor, or interior-mounted, window shutters install entirely within the window reveal, so the outside of your Tempe home stays unchanged while you still get the security, privacy, and light control of a rolling shutter. Interior window shutters are a popular choice in Tempe HOA communities that restrict exterior changes and for homes in historic districts. We help you choose interior or exterior mounting during a free on-site estimate.

Yes. Roll-A-Shield has built custom window shutters in Tempe, Arizona since 1979, each one made to the exact size of the opening rather than cut from a stock size. We build window shutters, rolling shutters, and security shutters for Tempe homes and businesses at our Tempe facility on South Industrial Park Ave. Custom sizing is what lets a shutter seal cleanly and run quietly for years.

Rolling shutters, also called roller shutters or roll down shutters, are custom aluminum covers that close over a window, door, or patio opening and roll up into a compact box above it when you want them open. They run along guide rails on each side and can be operated by strap, crank, remote, or motor. Roll-A-Shield builds every rolling shutter to the exact opening at our Tempe facility.

Yes. Rolling shutters and rolling security shutters are a strong fit for sliding glass doors and patio doors, and we build them to the full width of the opening. Our mini foam slat covers openings up to about 12 feet wide, the standard foam slat up to about 18 feet, and the single-wall commercial slat wider still, so most Tempe sliding glass doors and patio doors are well within range. We confirm the right slat for your glass sliding door during a free estimate.

The cost of rolling shutters for a sliding glass door depends mostly on the width and height of the door, the slat type, and whether it is manual or motorized. A wide multi-panel patio door uses more material and a heavier slat than a single window, so it sits higher in the range. We measure your exact door and give you a firm price during a free on-site estimate rather than a flat figure.

Yes. A closed rolling shutter is a strong physical barrier over the window or door it covers, the layer most homes do not have, which is why many Tempe homeowners add security shutters for home security. Rolling security shutters for a home make forced entry slower and harder than glass alone and work alongside your alarm, cameras, and lighting rather than replacing them. Roll-A-Shield provides the physical shutter layer, not alarm monitoring.

How much rolling shutters cost in Tempe comes down to the size of each opening, the slat type, whether the shutter is manual or motorized, and installation, which is a separate line. Because every opening is different, we do not publish a flat price. See our cost guide for the factors that drive it, and we give you an exact rolling shutters cost for your property during a free on-site estimate.

There is no single per-window price, because the cost of each shutter is driven by the window size, the slat you choose, and whether it is manual or motorized. A small manual window shutter sits at the lower end, while a large motorized unit sits higher. Rather than quote a flat per-window figure, we measure every window and give you an exact price per opening during your free estimate.

The best rolling shutters for Arizona are built for the climate. Roll-A-Shield shutters are extruded and foam-filled aluminum with a baked-on powder-coated finish that resists desert sun, fading, and corrosion, they are custom-built to each opening, and they typically last 20 years or more. Foam-filled slats add insulation for heat control, while the heavier single-wall slats add the most security.

Closed rolling shutters block direct sunlight before it reaches the glass, and the foam-filled slats plus the trapped air gap between the shutter and the window slow heat transfer into the room, so they help reduce your cooling load through the Tempe summer. We describe it as helping reduce cooling load rather than a fixed percentage, because the real difference depends on the opening, its sun exposure, and how you use the shutters. Many Arizona homeowners tell us they notice lower summer cooling bills.

Yes. During monsoon storms, closed rolling shutters cover the glass and help protect windows and doors from wind-blown dust and debris that move across Tempe and the East Valley through the summer storm season. Motorized patio screens are not built to be left down in high wind, so we recommend retracting your screens when a storm is coming and lowering them again once it passes.

Motorized patio screens, also called retractable patio screens, rolling screens, or outdoor shades, are motorized mesh screens that lower over a patio, porch, or outdoor room and roll back out of sight when you do not need them. Unlike a fixed shade or a stationary screen, they retract on a motor, so you choose shade, airflow, and view opening by opening. Roll-A-Shield fits and installs premium motorized patio screens across Tempe, each sized to your exact opening.

Motorized patio screen cost depends on the width and height of the opening, the motor type, and any added controls, so the cost of motorized screens and retractable patio screens varies more than a single number can capture. We do not publish a flat price because every patio is different. We walk you through the price factors and give you an exact quote for your Tempe patio during a free on-site estimate, and you can ask about the 4-week install guarantee on qualifying screens.

Patio screen installation is usually a matter of hours, not days. Our local crew mounts the housing above the opening, anchors the side tracks, sets and programs the motor, tests the screen, and shows you the controls before leaving. Many screens use solar-powered motors, so there is no wiring to run and no electrician needed. Motorized patio screens in Tempe are also covered by our 4-week install guarantee.

Yes. The performance mesh used in our motorized patio screens is rated by the manufacturer to block up to 95 percent of heat and UV rays, which is a big part of what makes a shaded Tempe patio usable through the hottest months. As outdoor shades, the screens cut glare and heat while you keep the view and the breeze, and the mesh and hardware are chosen to handle desert sun and dust year round.

Yes. Rolling shutters and motorized patio screens can run on a handheld remote or a wall switch, and motorized patio screens are available with solar-powered wireless motors that need no new wiring. That lets a screen go on a pergola, a detached patio, or a courtyard nowhere near an outlet, and you can add phone-app and voice control through a smart-home bridge. Your specialist helps you pick the right motor for each opening.

Exterior shutters mount outside the glass and give you the strongest security and storm protection, which is why they are the default for most Tempe homes. Interior window shutters install within the window reveal and leave the exterior of the home unchanged, a common choice in HOA communities that restrict exterior changes and in historic districts. We help you choose the right mount for each opening during a free estimate.

For most Tempe homes, yes. A single rolling shutter adds heat and sun control, a physical security layer, privacy on demand, and storm and dust protection to the opening it covers, and our shutters typically last 20 years or more. Because one system does several jobs at once and holds up in the desert, many homeowners find rolling shutters earn their place over time.

Rolling shutters are built to last, typically 20 years or more, thanks to powder-coated aluminum slats and simple moving parts, and they carry a 5-year shutter warranty. Motorized patio screens carry a manufacturer warranty with 10-year coverage against fabric fading and separate terms on the motor, electronics, and parts. Basic care, a hose-down and a dry silicone lubricant on the tracks a couple of times a year, keeps both working for years.
