Southern Nevada delivers more than 300 sunny days every year—and with that sunshine comes soaring temperatures, dust-laden winds, and an endless parade of desert insects. Quality window screens are your first defense. They let fresh air in, keep pests out, and reduce solar gain so your HVAC system works less. Pair the right screen mesh with a professional installation and you immediately boost comfort, energy efficiency, and curb appeal.
• UV intensity fades furnishings faster than in many U.S. regions
• Abrasive sand fines infiltrate older mesh, damaging window tracks
• Monsoon wind bursts can warp frames not rated for high desert gusts
CountBricks has engineered its “DesertShield” screen specification to address each issue. Our AI platform analyzes local climate data, recommends mesh types, and instantly prices upgrades—all during a real-time voice call.
Using anonymized data from recent CountBricks.com estimates, a standard 2,000-square-foot single-family residence with 18 operable windows sees:
• Basic fiberglass screen replacement: $12 – $16 per square foot installed
• DesertShield micro-mesh upgrade: $18 – $22 per square foot installed
• Oversize patio or bypass door panels: $140 – $220 per unit
• Frame repair or color-match powder coating add-on: $75 – $125 per opening
Because CountBricks streams live pricing from local material suppliers, homeowners never pay dated price sheets. Our AI chats with you, captures window dimensions via smartphone measurements, and pushes the takeoff directly to our estimating engine.

• Eliminates manual count errors that often inflate bids by 5-10%
• Flags supply chain lead times before you sign, avoiding sudden delays
• Generates side-by-side cost scenarios—like standard mesh vs. solar screen fabric—so you can choose ROI in real dollars
Standard Fiberglass
Affordable and easy to replace, but shorter lifespan under intense UV.
Aluminum Mesh
More rigid; resists warping yet can oxidize if coatings scratch.
Solar or “Sun” Screen
Dense weave blocks up to 80% of solar heat—popular for west-facing walls.
Micro-Mesh (DesertShield)
Blocks no-see-ums and wind-borne dust with minimal airflow loss; exclusive to CountBricks in Las Vegas.
• Always square check window openings; stucco expansion can shift frames by ⅛″ each season
• Use stainless steel spline rollers to prevent groove tearing in aluminum retrofits
• Seal frame corners with UV-stable silicone rather than generic caulk for longer life
• Document each screen’s serial QR label in the CountBricks homeowner app for future service calls
• Store spare screens flat in a cool, shaded area to avoid diagonal sagging
• Rinse mesh with low-pressure hose twice a year; high pressure stretches fabric
• Replace brittle spline immediately—cracking spline is the top cause of screen blowouts during monsoon gusts
• Test fit before trimming excess mesh; Las Vegas metal frames expand in heat and may need extra slack
• Keep a CountBricks voice memo of sizes for quick AI re-ordering
According to CountBricks analytics, homes that install solar or micro-mesh screens on west and south elevations reduce interior temperatures by up to 5°F. That translates to:
• 8% average reduction in annual cooling costs
• Payback period of 18–24 months when paired with low-E windows
We compile these stats from thousands of regional projects stored on CountBricks.com/portfolio, giving our clients real performance data instead of sales hyperbole.
CountBricks partners with regional credit unions to offer 0% APR six-month financing on projects above $3,000. Every DesertShield install carries a 10-year workmanship warranty plus a five-year mesh replacement guarantee—tracked through your online portal for zero-paperwork claims.

A recent CountBricks project in the Arroyo Vista subdivision showcases how the right screens transform a home. The 1998 stucco two-story suffered from west-facing heat gain that pushed indoor temps to 88°F by late afternoon. Using our AI takeoff tool, we mapped 22 openings and modeled three fabric options. The homeowners chose DesertShield micro-mesh for key elevations and standard fiberglass elsewhere—an $8,450 project quoted and approved in under 30 minutes.
• Indoor peak temperature dropped 4.7°F without HVAC adjustments
• APS utility bill declined by 9.2% versus the previous year’s period
• Dust intrusion complaints went from weekly to “haven’t noticed in weeks”
The homeowners especially praised the no-paperwork warranty—every screen QR tag links back to its invoice in the CountBricks portal, making future replacements a two-click task.
Whether you are adding a casita, converting a garage, or prepping a flip, accurate window screen counts are essential for budgeting. Instead of pacing the property with a clipboard, open our web app, snap the elevation, and talk through your design. Our AI parses dimensions, aligns them with local code wind-load tables, and produces:
• Material lists exported to your email in seconds
• Labor schedules that integrate with your preferred calendar
• Interactive quote documents branded for your business if you are a contractor partner
CountBricks is more than an installer—we are your estimating engine, your material tracker, and your warranty vault. By centralizing these tasks, you free up time to focus on design creativity and client relationships.
Monsoon season arrives quickly, and supplier lead times lengthen just as the mercury peaks. Secure your slot on the CountBricks install calendar today at CountBricks.com/services and experience why Las Vegas homeowners call us the residential construction tech leaders.
