I am soooo happy I went with California Shade!!!! Warren was great to work with. Our pool delayed the patio construction, but he was extremely patient. The installation team came in and installed the shade in only day (while the pool took 8 months). The color looks amazing. The installation was perfect. Our house looks great. If you want an aluminum shade, you should use this company. read more

Just had our shade installed yesterday and my husband and I couldn't be happier! The whole process was easy and pleasant and we couldn't have asked for nicer guys to work with! Warren did a basic quote for me over the phone based on the measurements I thought I'd want and then came out to measure, let me pick all the colors, trim shapes, and extras (fan) and give me a final price. Then he ordered that day! Materials have been tied up in weird shipping issues but he told me it would be 4-5 weeks to get them in and sure enough he was right on target. Warren called me as soon as it was in and had an install date available 2 days later! Dan and his team were on time, super thorough, and amazingly fast! Plus they were insanely kind to my kids. I cannot recommend this business enough - I've already given the number to 3 other people! read more

Great product, excellent service! Warren and his crew were all great and patio cover was installed quickly and looks beautiful.

After getting multiple bids that were outrageously priced, I contacted Warren at California Shade. Warren came out promptly for a bid and after careful consideration, we decided to utilize a local company because it's the right thing to do. The workers showed up on-time and methodically put up my FIL's patio cover. We were very impressed by the efficiency of those guys putting it up. The cover turned out awesome and we couldn't be more pleased. There was a little clean-up issue that Warren was advised of and is using it as a learning tool. read more

We needed a patio cover for a newly remodeled backyard after a snafu with our project. I found this company from a flyer that they send weekly in the mail. It was the best price by far from the bids we got. One other company told me that it is the same product that is used by everyone for these aluminum patio cover kits, just some businesses have different overheads that affect the cost. That particular company had a bid that was twice as much as California Shade. We have pavers that required special footings and Warren did not price gauge for the extra work. Other companies wanted to charge $1500 extra for this, while Warren found a solution that was far more reasonable. The crew who came to do the job were efficient and handled our brand new pavers with precision and care. We loved that we could make small adjustments like requesting a flush front without tails to fit our modern look. We also had a fan installed (and wish we would have contracted for a second one!). All and all, this is an honest and extremely fair company that does great work! Thanks! read more

We love our new patio cover. We shopped around and Warren at California Shade had the better reviews and best price by far. The end result is beautiful. Brandon their installer was incredible and had it up in one day and cleaned up his work area. We are so impressed the patio cover is high quality and looks amazing. read more

This review is overdue! The work was done in June and it's been used heavily all summer long! Warren and his team are great. We had several bids and Warren was first up. He set the bar high, while not the cheapest, it was clear he knew what he was doing and was going to get the job done right. He also actively listened to our ideas and provided input along the way. We went with a tri-color option that Warren told us doesn't happen often. We felt good about taking to lighter shade of the house and letting the structure tie in to some of the darker areas of the pool. Turns out it was a great choice and I couldn't be happier with the outcome, It didn't take long to sign on the dotted line and wait for the materials to arrive. He told this was a one day installation which I thought was an aggressive target, but he assured me that's how they do it. It's a 12' x 32' awning and I really thought a 1-2 day process. I was wrong! On install day the crew showed up and got right to work. I spoke with the foreman and he was as nice as could be an really listened to our vision for this and some of the options we were adding in. We added two fans (we supplied) and wanted the electrical a particular way. The electrical guys were great and figured out how to get this done perfectly! We also wanted to run a cable (hidden in the structure) to a TV we wanted to mount under the awning. Again the guys were great and even hung the TV. They suggested it be mounted a little higher than what I had in mind. With a quick explanation of the reasoning I was all in and it looks great and the angles are perfect for viewing. It was a really really hot day at 100+, the guys still kept on it and got it all done before they left. One small bump in the road was the mess from the ceiling material we used. It was a 4" styrofoam core (for noise dampening and insulation). Unfortunately we had styrofoam snow all over our yard. The did their best to clean it all up but it was just too much to tackle. I blew into the pool over the next couple weeks and that lead to a couple filter washes and daily skimming. Not a huge hassle but worth noting. Warren said before the drought they used pressure washers but how had to rely on blowers and vacuums. Ok, enough rambling about one little bump in the road! Warren and his crew delivered big time with a structure that's beautiful, solid and has already made a huge difference in the outdoor space. Life outdoors is great! The Giants & 49ers are up on the TV regularly (with great sight lines from the pool) . It also worked out well for a couple evening Game of Thrones marathons. Thanks Warren and crew for a complete 5 star service from start to finish!! read more

We highly recommend California Shade. Warren's guys did a great job with installation and communication with us. On installation day they arrived at 8 am and were done around noon. We love the space, it's 12x20 and provides ample shade. We had the patio cover prewired for a fan but the electrical work was done by another local contractor. We love being able to support Elk Grove businesses. read more

We had Warren come to our house and he gave us a breakdown of the cost and went over everything with us. After I talked to 4 other companies, I had additional questions and Warren came over a second time to answer everything in more detail. Some of the other companies were too busy to even come out so they gave us a quote over the phone using Warren's measurements. Warren came over to our house in person not once but twice. About 3 weeks later we got a call to schedule our installation. The two subcontracts who did the installation did a wonderful job. After the installation Warren came back out to our house for a third time to make sure everything looked good. Everyone at California Shade was extremely nice. We would definitely recommend Warren and his team. We went with a combo solid and lattice patio cover. We did brown posts and a cream color roof. A ceiling fan on the solid structure. The final product was absolutely beautiful. read more

California Shade - Patio Coverings Near Me - Elk Grove, California

We needed a Patio Cover for our newly built home in North Natomas so we reached out to a couple of local companies for bids and got a response from Warren at California Shade. Warren came to the house and asked what we were looking to do and after asking some questions he gave us a quote that turned out to be very competitive. When we decided to go with California Shade Warren again came out to the house and confirmed the original plan and he explained the entire process. As the owner Warren is truly interested in making sure that you are comfortable with the entire plan. On installation day we met Paul and Vitaly who came to install the cover and I can say that both of these gentlemen are extremely professional and their attention to detail made for a first class installation. They did high quality work on both the Patio Cover and our Ceiling Fan and Outlet installation and when they were done it was perfect. I would highly recommend California Shade to anyone looking for a Patio Cover. Between Warren, Paul and Vitaly I knew that we had made the right choice in hiring them. read more

California Shade - 1st Step to a great backyard - Patio Coverings Near Me - Elk Grove, California

We are very happy with our new patio awning. We should have had this installed years ago.

After receiving a couple of quotes for a patio cover, we decided to go with California Shade since Warren provided the best quote. Warren and his crew were very professional and our patio cover was completed super quickly once the materials came in. Looking forward to enjoying our yard more with our new shade. Thank you! read more

Warren is the best option out there if you're looking for a patio cover. He is super professional, friendly, and very affordable, especially compared to most other companies. He'll show you samples of different materials and colors and also pictures of previous jobs he's done, and they all look great. His team came out and did a great job. They were on time, friendly, quick, and efficient. They installed our 12 x 20 cover and the outdoor ceiling fan in only a few hours. They did a great job of cleaning afterwards too. Warren even stopped by during the job to make sure everything was ok and followed up a few days later to check if we were satisfied. There's a reason he's rated all 5 stars on Yelp. read more

I wish I could give Warren & California Shade a higher rating than 5 stars. After a backyard & pool remodel, we had Warren come back & add two additional structures complete with lights & fan. He was able to repurpose the 10x10 that was originally attached to the house. Check out the pictures! His crew was very careful in the removal & converted it into a freestanding cover. As always, the guys are professional, clean, prompt & quick! Warren continues to beat his competitors prices. Best part is he's local! read more

Warren and his team were fantastic. Warren was very helpful, easy to work with and was great at explaining the different options that were available. His install team, Paul and Martin, were just as great and completed the job in a timely manner. Paul was especially helpful with helping me make a couple of last minute decisions and even gave me helpful ideas for lighting and additional shade if I wanted it. Best of all they were reasonably priced. read more

California Shade - 19x20 patio cover with flashing. - Patio Coverings Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I just wanted to say that I am extremely happy with my new patio. My husband and I wanted to give our local area some business and I am so happy with Warren. His pricing was very reasonable and he is such a nice man. He made us feel very happy that we went with him. He met our expectations and exceeded them. We were told that we would get our new patio up when the material arrived in about three or four weeks, it was done even faster than that. I was also very impressed with the crew, they were very personable and they got everything up in one day. I love my new patio. read more

I'm super happy with my new patio cover. Warren came to our house and listened to our backyard plans and options we wanted for our patio cover. He couldn't have been nicer. On day of installation Dan and Alex came to the house and they went over everything we wanted. He made great suggestions about different items. Their attention to detail was awesome and they were super nice dudes. I bought them burritos, maybe to spicy. Lol. But they were fairly priced and excellent at what they do. I reccomend them fully. read more

California Shade - Patio Coverings Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Warren was very quick and efficient with our plan to get a patio cover done for our backyard because we have zero shade. From the start to finish, it took about two weeks (estimate, finalize, order parts, install (1 day only). Fast and reliable, and is not all about the money like the three others we received quotes from. read more

Warren and the guys at CA shade did a great job. It was installed this week and I am very pleased with the results. Looking forward to enjoying the patio cover for many years to come. read more

We LOVE our new patio cover! Our back yard faces the blazing sun all day long. I couldn't even sit at my kitchen table during the day without either closing the blinds or wearing my sun glasses. This patio cover has really transformed our back yard! We are really enjoying our yard now - without being blinded by the sun! Best investment for our house. Thank you to Warren and his team for a fabulous patio cover! read more

How did I not complete this review? Warren is awesome at customer service. We had a shade structure and shade screens installed. Both have been up for a year. The shade structure was well built and has withstood some heavy winds and rains. The screens match the existing screens on the house. They block the harsh sun but still allow in some light. Excellent products, excellent company. read more

My husband and I are very happy with Warren (owner) and his install crew (Dan & Gennadiy)! We had our insulated 12'x28' prewired fan installed 2 weeks ago. Warren was very patient, down to earth, and informative when he came out for the estimate. I had multiple quotes over the phone with other companies. New Dawn Awning would not come out for a free estimate even though he advertises it. He stated that he was too busy and would only come out if I'm ready to sign. We had a Craigslist guy come out for an estimate and he advertised a really low price to wheel you in for a 12'x20' non-insulated Duralum cover. We almost went with him, but we decided to go insulated instead of non-insulated. His insulated quote skyrocketed...his demeanor changed. I feel like we dodged a bullet. We are soooo glad to come across Warren through some internet searches. By the way, CW Design flaked on me on 2 estimate appointments. First time, they claimed it was my mistake and the appointment was the following Friday. Well, the following Friday, the guy no show. I called the office when it was 10 mins passed the scheduled appointment time. They said Tony is on his way. Never heard from them again...no phone calls to apologize or to reschedule. Warren's install crew was professional and down to earth. It is a reflection of Warren and how he wants you to perceive his company. I was confident with their work and their professionalism. Dan checked with my husband before finalizing anything major (prewiring site, post locations, fan site, etc.). I DEFINITELY recommend California Shade!!!! Warren is honest, fair pricing, and trustworthy crew!!!!!! Thank you Warren, Dan, and Gennadiy!!!!! read more

I love this company! My patio is beautiful. Great price and professional installers. Very pleased. They installed a ceiling fan in the middle of my patio and it is beautiful. The installer explained all options and went above and beyond to make me happy. They vacuumed the patio after the install and everything went so smooth. Thank you Warren for your integrity and desire to please each customer. read more

We had our patio cover installed around March 2018. Going with California Shade was one of the best decisions we've ever made! We have enjoyed it immensely since installation. The owner Warren was super easy and great to work with and we absolutely loved Vitali and Paul who installed it. A father/son team. They installed the cover along with a ceiling fan and they also installed an outlet so I could put lights up around the patio cover. The job was done in one day and when they left they had completely cleaned up after themselves. I am so glad I went with California Shade! I have had no problems with the cover and everyone who comes over loves it! I'm so glad I read the reviews. This is what had us choose California Shade. Warren, Paul and Vitali thank you for such great work! read more

Warren, the owner, is really responsive and knows what good customer service is. He will make sure you are happy with the product and his service. He did my window shades and solid patio with fan at my house over 10 years ago. I was really happy with him! read more

I recently called California Shade for a patio cover. The owner of the company, Warren Marcus, promptly came to my home to take measurements and select a color. It was a no pressure, pleasant experience for me and it was immediately obvious Warren knew his stuff. Shortly after, two personable guys showed up to do the work and it was very apparent they were here to do a good job. The clean up was excellent and the craftsmanship and finished product far exceeded my expectations. On a scale of 1 to 10 this company scored a big 11. SO if anyone is looking for a great patio cover, call Warren Marcus, you will be glad you did. As a secondary point I would also like to add, my daughter had a patio cover installed by Warren 9 years ago. It remains in excellent shape, and looks as good as it did when first installed. We both could not be happier with the service and product. read more

We were referred to Warren by a gentleman we had over to price blinds for our house. He was 100% right. Warren came out demonstrated how the solar screens worked, and gave us a great low price. We had him over to look at covering 3 problem windows & ended up doing 90% of our house. These shades cut almost all of the heat entering our home. We have had extremely hight electric bill for the past few years. Since installing the shades we are barely having to run our air conditioner. I have checked our PGE usage and it is half what we were using before the screens. A bonus is that the screens look fantastic! read more

We love our 12X 16 insulated patio cover by California Shade. Warren did an excellent job providing ideas and suggestions in the design phase. The installation team was outstanding. They work quickly and are very friendly, efficient and professional. I thought the cost was fair and reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I want to send a big THANK YOU to Warren and his crew for our wonderful new patio cover. The price came in below our budget and the overall appearance more than we expected. It added so much to our house! We would highly recommend California Shade. read more

We highly, highly recommend Warren and his company. We had a large, solid, insulated patio cover installed in December and it has made a huge difference in the appearance and functionality of our outdoor living space. The patio cover looks phenomenal, the team of installers did a fantastic job and were extremely professional, and the price could not have been beat by any other company. Warren was a pleasure to work with...professional, pleasant and timely. In fact, on installation day, his whole team was here when they said they'd be here (maybe even early) and the entire job was complete in 6 hours! We could not believe how efficient these guys were. Seriously, you won't beat the price, professionalism and quality you get with Warren. We've recommended him to countless people already and will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing patio cover. read more

Warren and his team went above and beyond my expectations when he built our new patio cover. For the past ten years we have been wanting a patio cover but were unable to because of the cost and the level of difficulty due to the contour of our house. A friend of ours recommended California Shade so I gave Warren a call. He was very eager to explain the process and he answered all of my questions. In the end we ended up with a great custom patio cover that I love and we couldn't be happier, and the price was right too. Warren has been in the business for many years and knows what he's doing. I will recommend California Shade to anyone looking for a beautiful patio cover at a great price. read more

Warren gave my parents the best price for their patio cover. The installers were great also, thanks!

Had Warren come out for an estimate on solar shades and ended up getting those and a beautiful patio cover installed. In fact I had just gotten a quote from another company on a patio cover and the price was almost 2x higher than CA shade. The solar shades work great and my family is loving our new outdoor living space! Could not be happier with the service, quality and price. read more

Warren came out several months ago and we weren't sure what we wanted to do with the backyard. We contacted him when we had a plan. He remembered us on the telephone, was very knowledgeable, and no pressure to purchase. Once we decided he put us on the calendar and made sure it was done before a big BBQ we were having. The crew that came out was very professional, clean, friendly, knowledgeable and went to work immediately. Needless to say they did an excellent job. We had a few changes on height when they were installing the cover and they never hesitated to change it and make us happy. Great company, great work. read more
