Brownsville Elite Windows provides professional window screens & solar screens in Brownsville, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Rio Grande Valley. Window screens and solar screens are the least glamorous thing we install in Brownsville and among the most cost-effective, because a solar screen stops heat outside the glass rather than after it. We rescreen existing frames whenever they are still square, build new aluminum frames when they are not, and fit solar mesh on the elevations that genuinely need it. Start with the physics, because it explains why solar screens punch above their price. A low-E coating rejects solar energy at the glass. A solar screen intercepts it before it ever reaches the glass, which means the heat never enters the assembly and never gets a chance to radiate into the room. On a west or south elevation in the Valley that shows up on the July bill in a way people notice without being told. The trade-off is honest and worth saying out loud: the mesh that blocks the most heat also darkens the room the most and cuts the view. Densities vary, so we match the mesh to how the room is used rather than fitting the highest number everywhere. A bedroom can take a dense screen. A living room with a view usually should not. Ordinary insect screening comes in fiberglass, aluminum and pet-resistant grades, and near the coast we use marine-grade or vinyl-coated fiberglass mesh, because plain aluminum mesh corrodes and chalks in salt air. Fine and no-see-um meshes are worth the upgrade if you sit outside in the evening anywhere near the resacas or the refuge flats, where standard mesh is more of a polite suggestion than a barrier. Frames are the other half of the job. If your existing aluminum frames are straight, rescreening them costs a fraction of new frames and takes very little time, and a whole-house rescreen is usually a single visit. Where frames are bent or corroded, we build new ones to the opening in mill, bronze, black or white. Casement screens mount on the interior side, which surprises somebody on nearly every job. Sliding patio screen doors get new rollers, tracks and handles, and bent aluminum sill tracks can often be straightened rather than replaced outright. Security screens and screen doors with heavier mesh and reinforced frames make good sense at ground-floor openings. For picture windows, high-transparency mesh keeps the view that justified the window in the first place. When not to buy: solar screens on a north-facing window accomplish essentially nothing, so do not let anyone sell you a whole-house package. If your frames are square, do not buy new frames. And if a room is already dark or you have a view you care about, an interior shade or a better low-E coating may serve you far better than dense mesh stretched across the glass. We would rather fit four screens on the right elevations than sixteen across all of them.
With 20+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — laminated impact glass with PVB and ionoplast interlayers, ASTM E1886 and E1996 impact-tested fenestration, Texas Department of Insurance product evaluation listings, WPI-8 certificate of compliance documentation, design pressure rated windows and doors, soft-coat low-E and low solar heat gain glass — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Brownsville and nearby communities including Harlingen, San Benito, Los Fresnos, Port Isabel.

Materials, equipment and how we do window screens & solar screens
The difference between window screens & solar screens that lasts and window screens & solar screens that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with laminated impact glass with PVB and ionoplast interlayers, ASTM E1886 and E1996 impact-tested fenestration, Texas Department of Insurance product evaluation listings, WPI-8 certificate of compliance documentation, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Brownsville job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of window work in the Rio Grande Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
