Requested repair on 5 screens. Service was provided on time as promised and delivered to my home. They know their business! read more

Rick installed a full set of solar screens on our first Austin House, and a second-floor screen door to our upstairs porch on our second house. He has also helped with various screen weirdness on the second house, always with a fair price and a wonderfully collegial attitude. Rick is one of those rare caring, nice people who take great pride in their work. read more

We had a great experience with Rick. He came on time for our appointment and gave us the price right there and then, very pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable. We are very happy with our 11 window screens; the frame and the screens came on time; they turned out great and look very nice on our windows. We could not be happier. We were so glad that we found Rick and we highly recommend him. After I had talked to a few other companies, we are glad that we made the right decision to go with Rick. We are more than happy to give Rick a 5-star review and will refer him to friends and family. Thank you, Rick, for a great job on our window screens. read more

A wonderful experience from start to finish. The door Rick crafted fit perfectly the first time. We had some particular requests about the hinges because of our cats, and Rick kindly worked with us - coming to the house multiple times until we were happy. Great guy, great service - wish there were more businesses like him. read more

Rick is so easy to work with and knows his products well. He measured and installed new screens for us. I highly recommend his work. Thanks Rick! read more

Capitol Screen Company - Patio area with new screens - Shades & Blinds Near Me

Thank you to YELP and your subscribers for pointing us in the direction of Capitol Screen Company. Take a look at our wood patio screen door with pet screening (note the patio glass door is also closed so that's why you see white in the picture). Rick Sims, the owner, was quick to provide us a quote that we felt was quite reasonable and door construction was soon underway. Rick had Jeremy come out and do the install and we couldn't be happier. The hardware looks great and the door certainly improved both the patio look and it's usefulness. Our dog likes it too! Seriously, if you are looking to add a screen door to your home that you want to represent how you would like your home to look, please reach out to Capitol....Rick and Jeremy, thank you for what certainly looks to be a high quality screen door that we hope to have for years. read more

Capitol Screen Company - Shades & Blinds Near Me

Extremely happy with the service provided by Rick. I had a few missing screens on a rental property, and a couple more that required attention. Rick provided a very quick, accurate and competitive estimate, scheduled the work, did the install, etc. Really great to deal with, super responsive and communicates clearly. Happy to use again! read more

I'm very impressed with Rick and his service. I had some bad luck with a dog running through my screen door. I called Capitol Screen and Rick told me to bring it in. He did an excellent job fixing it. It only took one day and at a very fair price too. Rick is a super nice man and was a pleasure to do business with. I will definitely use him in the future and recommend him to everyone. read more

Our two doors on our screened-in patio were having a hard time closing due to gaps developed because of the wood warping over time. Rick had created the screen doors for us over 2 years ago and he came back and fixed the issue. He actually brought in new parts to fix the issue and did this at no charge to us. That is going way over and above what was expected. We highly recommend him as he stands behind his work. Very appreciated. read more

Rick and Jeremy were wonderful to work with. From the free quote to the completed job it was a pleasure. They arrived on time and completed the job as they said they would. My screens fit perfectly. Very happy with the entire process. Thank you Rick and Jeremy - Donna read more

This recommendation is a long time coming. In the past and for many years we used Capitol Screen to replace a screen or two at our house in Anderson Mill. Never had a problem. Last year we moved to Round Rock to a house that faced west and really heated up in the afternoon sun. All of the rooms in the front, upstairs and downstairs, were hot in the summertime. We spoke with several contractors about this issue but were really impressed by Rick with Capitol Screens. My wife was especially concerned how solar screens could diminish the appearance of our house. Rick was thorough, honest and showed up on time, not only for the consultation, but for the installation as well. He did an awesome job and the screens greatly enhanced the appearance of our house. We are very happy with his service and product and recommend him highly. read more

Rick at Capitol Screen Company was just fantastic! He gave us a great bid to replace old screens and patio screen door with solar screens. He advised us which ones to get and installed them within a week. Rick was conscientious, efficient, cheerful and personable. We are SO happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone looking for a screen company. We can't say enough good things about the process, which as you know, with some service companies, can be an absolute nightmare. Thanks, Rick! There are also MANY great reviews of this company on Google, so let's spread the Yelp word for Rick and his gang. read more

We ordered 8 custom screens for our existing double hung windows. We met with Rick Sims (Owner) several times to discuss the screen system we needed, and to troubleshoot several issues. The installation was challenging and took much longer than expected, but we are extremely pleased with the work and customer service from Capitol Screen Company. I rate a company three ways: 1) How well a company listens to the customer: Rick took the time to listen and understand our needs and concerns, was responsive, and came up with recommendations and solutions. 2) How employees speak about the company and owners: Jeremy Macklin installed the screens. He truly enjoys his work and working for Rick and Capitol Screen Company. He's a perfectionist and took the extra time to make sure the screens were properly installed and that we were happy. 3) Whether they stand behind their work and are willing to fix problems: Two examples: [1] When they initially took the measurements we were not aware of the different spacing between the window frame and the sills until it came time for installation. Five windows had been installed 14 years ago and two windows were installed 10 months ago. When they began the installation the bottom of the screens for the two new windows did not line up with the others -- even though the windows were the same size. At their own expense they fabricated two new window screens so that they would all look and line up the same. [2] The older windows are not perfectly plumb, so when the screen were installed there were gaps where mosquitos and other bugs could enter. Rick suggested adding foam weatherstripping. It worked - no bugs! We highly recommend Capitol Screen Company. Rick and Jeremy are honest, professional, and nice people, their pricing is fair, and they stand behind their work. read more

I dealt with Jeremy and he was very knowledgeable and committed. He even made a special trip back out to our home to add a turn buckle and spring to ensure the new custom patio door was perfect. read more

GREAT job! We had Capitol Screen Co. replace all of our window screens and make us a screen door for the sliding patio door. They did an excellent job - the screens look/work great. They did the work with a quick turnover time and speedy installation. And the prices were extremely reasonable. I've made my own screens before, so I know how much it costs. read more

We wanted custom wood screens for our 90 year old home in Austin and had a hard time finding someone to do it until another (metal) screen company recommended I call Rick. I met Rick a few days later and knew immediately that we were in good hands. Rick and Jeremy did an amazing job for us, better than we would've imagined. We added a screen door to the order and Rick took it upon himself to personally match the style/layout of the new screen door to the style layout of our existing front door. Looks awesome - and so do the screens! Anyone looking for custom screens should use Capitol Screen Company. Service was timely, decision making was easy, and cost was more than fair. I recommend Rick whenever I can now. Homer and Phyllis P. read more

Our solar window screens were old and tired so it was time to replace them. I didn't realize how much there was to know about screens until I started looking into replacing ours. It boils down to this: Functionally, there are 2 types of window screens; solar or insect screens. Solar, as the name suggests, provides protection from the sun's light/heat which reduces cooling costs, and fading to carpets, furniture, etc... they also provide a degree of daytime privacy. They come in varying degrees of solar protection so they differ in percentage of solar blockage and color. Insect screens, as one would imagine, are intended to keep bugs out if you open your windows which we love to do in the spring and fall! Additionally there are aesthetic considerations. Solar screens cover the whole window, creating uniformity in the look of your home whereas insect screens cover only the portion of the window that opens. Solar screens and frames come in various colors which you can coordinate to best complement your existing home accents. And the percentage of solar blockage greatly impacts how dark the screens are. If your goal is to actually get more natural light into your home, obviously no screens or bug screens are better for this purpose. Having the benefit of shade trees, heat reduction was less of a priority for us but I knew I wanted solar screens because of their exterior cosmetic appeal and security benefits. But I also had some concerns. Many solar screens I'd seen around town were so dark that it created huge black "holes" in the look of the home making it look like the windows were not yet installed. I knew I didn't want that! Before calling, I perused Rick's website which was exceptional in terms of complete and straightforward screen information in an organized and concise way. I called and off the bat, Rick was accommodating and scheduled to come out as soon as I was available. I had my list of questions ready and he came in and was really easy going and friendly. He patiently listened and provided great recommendations and I'm so glad he did! We decided to go with the 65% solar screen in charcoal gray but the coolest part is the grid work he put on our screens. If you haven't seen grid work before, it's definitely worth taking a peek at his website or Facebook page to see his pics. Grid work is applied right onto the outside of the screen which recreates the look of French window panes so it looks like you don't even have screens at all!! He is the only screen company I researched who mentioned this option and it's shockingly affordable. I can't believe everyone doesn't do grid work because it looks so much better than plain screens in my opinion! It's funny to think you could get excited about window screens but done well, they really do provide a clean and polished look. We feel lucky to have found Rick; he does all the work himself, uses superior materials and provides very high quality workmanship. He listens and makes well-informed suggestions based on your preferences. He's trustworthy and easy to work with. His pricing is excellent, far better than I would have expected given the high level of quality, and he works quickly. read more

I purchased their screening in 1996 when building an enclosed porch to our home. The material was about 4 feet wide and 25' long. The material was plastic coated, and I assume the mesh was nylon. After 21 years, there are no tears from hail. Our cat climbed the screen twice and no damage was done. Even UV rays didn't alter the product. I am now planning to order more screen to replace the existing ones on an older Texas home. You won't find a better product or more qualified staff than Capitol Screen. Thank you for an excellent product with great durability. read more

Had Capitol Screens install 3 solar screens on my home. Quick, easy, and affordable. Would use Rick again. Solar screens look great and can already notice the difference from the morning sun into my bedroom. read more

Thanks to Rick Sims and his team at Capitol Screens for their part in the successful construction of our new screen room. Capitol Screens made the 19 screens and the oak door. Two of the screens for the gable end were triangular. All the screens, even the triangular ones, and the door fit perfectly and the work was done in a timely manner. The price was reasonable too. We were very happy with the quality of the materials and workmanship and Rick was a joy to work with. I highly recommend Capitol Screens. read more

Rick did a great job and was reliable and honest. Thanks!

Capitols Screens have been creating my wood screens for several years now. I really like Rick a lot and he is very knowledgeable about working on old houses. My house was built in 1908 and each window is a different size. He also lets me do just a few at a time if need be or all at once which helps if you are on a budget. He custom fits them and does beautiful work. A true craftsman! Living in an older home makes it difficult to find businesses who will do such detailed work and once I do find them I keep them. I would highly recommend using his company. read more

Rick has made solar screens for our houses and rental houses......did a fabulous job every time. He is easy to work with, accurate, quick turn around and keeps client informed. I think his prices are great. Wonderful, home-grown business that takes pride in their work and pleasing the client. read more

Rick Sims and Jeremy were great in getting our windows measured and screens made exactly to-fit. The new solar screens makes a tremendous difference in the look of our home. The old screens had started fading and were bent so we were unable to open our windows for fear of bugs and lizards getting into the house. PROBLEM SOLVED! If you need new screens, please contact Rick with Capitol Screen Company. Great price. Great product. read more
