Skylight Blinds & Shades for Onion Creek homes, done by vetted Austin-area crews. A skylight brings in daylight, but by August, an unshaded south-facing unit turns a bright room into a hot one. Skylight blinds and shades give you control over both light and heat without giving up the skylight itself.
Circle C Ranch and Onion Creek's south-facing tract rooflines get strong afternoon sun, making cellular shades the most common request for heat control in this zone. West Lake Hills and Barton Creek's large vaulted great rooms often carry multiple skylights that get grouped onto one motorized remote system.

Manual cellular or roller shades run $150-$450 per skylight; motorized remote-control shades run $400-$1,200 per skylight. That's the same approach across Austin Metro (Travis, Williamson & Hays counties), and the contractor confirms the number for Onion Creek before any work starts.
Onion Creek sits about ten miles south of downtown Austin, within the same hail-alley corridor and hot Central Texas summers that touch the whole metro. Circle C Ranch and Onion Creek's south-facing tract rooflines get strong afternoon sun, making cellular shades the most common request for heat control in this zone.
Manual cellular or roller shades run $150 to $450 per skylight depending on fabric and size. Motorized shades with a remote or solar-powered motor run $400 to $1,200 per unit. Whole-home systems with multiple skylights and grouped remote control scale from there, and the crew quotes the exact number after measuring your specific units.
Both, but cellular honeycomb shades do the most on the heat side because the trapped air pockets in the cell structure add real insulation value on top of blocking direct sun. Roller and pleated shades cut glare well but offer less heat resistance than a cellular design. For a hot, south-facing skylight, cellular is usually the better long-term pick.
