Just wanted to say now with the summer heat here, I am very happy with the solar screens you installed on the house.
I can watch TV in the evening without constantly fumbling with my blinds trying to keep the sun blocked out.
I appreciate your professional installation and timeliness. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing solar screening.
Thank You,
Dan Dorrance - Round Rock, TX

Some say a form of flattery is imitation; it seems that I am constantly finding out about businesses (local competitors and others nationally) that attempt to copy my solar screen services business model. Here in town, there are those competitors of mine that I truly believe have my website pulled up 24hrs a day, just waiting to see what specials I run, what new ideas and things I post about our solar screen services so that they can copy them for themselves as their own. All of the time I find other solar screen business websites from all over the country with my original text on them, using my thoughts, my ideas and my expressions, verbatim. Here locally, it seems that just about every one of my competitors are now using my 'discounted' pricing model. Fortunately these same competitors can't closely compete with our pricing structure. Many sites I explore inconceivably use graphics I personally made for use on my website and/or pictures of my personal installations posted on their sites as their own. Some have even used some of our customer feedback (reviews) as their own. To me this isn't flattery, it's an example of one's character. It's character that goes toward one's credibility. It's an example of the difference between someone like us, and others that choose to take shortcuts. A question I would be asking myself if I was a consumer is that if someone is willing to take shortcuts in business practices, can you trust their character? Can you trust they won't take shortcuts with their services and products? My answer to all of them, to all of my competitors that attempt to copy my every step is . . "To my competitors, you can try to copy us, but you will never be able to duplicate our success. Success comes from within. Success comes from who you are. Success is built from many building blocks such as hard work, honesty, trust, character and accountability." A testament to our success is here in written form via these MANY Customer Reviews.

EMAIL Subject: Angie's List [mailto:angieslist@angieslist.com] Great job! I love the screens and can all ready tell a difference in the lack of heat coming through into my bedroom window! I couldn’t have asked for more. When researching competing companies, I was surprised that your company is not registered on Angie’s List. As a member, I added you and asked them to please create a category “Solar Screens”. It takes a couple of days for the new reports to post, but I’ll be sure to send you a screen print when I see that it’s been published. It’s a great way for the consumer to make informed choices when choosing a contractor for just about anything. Wishing you continued success with your business. Thanks again. – Melissa Rojo
EMAIL Subject: Thank you Josh, I wanted to say "thank you" for the work you did on the solar screens for my house. They look fantastic! The overall experience, pricing, customer service and the quality of both the product and workmanship were excellent! I have recently talked about my experience with a couple of co-workers who are considering solar screens and have forwarded them your contact information. Hopefully this will result in some additional sale opportunities for your company. Thanks again for everything. Wishing you and Paula much continued success in the future. - Ed Kelly 03/16/10
EMAIL Subject: JoshHobbs.com Solar Screens Survived the Hail Storm Thank you for the info. We didn't have any broken windows or cracks remarkably! I think the screens protected the windows by softening the blow. You really can't see anything different on the screen framing until you're at the doorway. That's just one or two frames that were against the wind-driven hail. The screens themselves look like they were untouched. Awesome! Thank you for the super strong great screens! I am really impressed at how well they held up, and protected my windows. David Cullen
EMAIL Josh, Not only do the solar screens look totally awesome, but they actually work! The AC is not coming on as frequently as it used to on comparably warm days. Thank you so much and you can definitely use me for a recommendation (though I'm sure you have plenty of those already!).
You and your wife are totally amazing in my book!
Cheers, Carol Sessler - Austin, TX
P. S. We are still considering the front windows, just because they look so attractive. We'll let you know.
EMAIL Subject: Solar Screens Josh and Paula.... Well, it's been about a month since you installed the screens......what a difference! Putting the 90 mesh on the master suite windows has made it as livable as the rest of the second floor - the temp is a full 5-6 degrees lower than before and the whole house seems more comfortable. We've also had a number of compliments on the appearance of the house. We're most pleased. You two are quite professional and I'm sure among the best at what you do. Thanks for putting the screens up in the rain! We've made a few recommendations for you and hope that you get some more jobs in our neighborhood - we would like to LOOK at more houses that look as good as ours! Ken Christie - Kyle, TX
EMAIL Subject: Window Screen Feedback Hi Paula/Josh, wasn't sure if my handwritten feedback reached you that I sent about a month ago. Anyway, wanted to let you know that Sharon and I love the solar window screens! We have confirmed that they have saved 2000 KWH's in May alone! They also look GREAT. People say our house looks even better now with the screens and we agree. As I said to you before, we highly recommend your business to everyone. Very professional, very streamlined business process, quick installation, and a good price. I don't know how anyone in Austin can do without your service! Jeff and Sharon Hobbs - Austin, TX
