This experience was great from beginning to end! Joe, from Shading Solutions contacted me, we made…read morean appointment. He was accommodating with my schedule and showed up on time- actually early! We talked, he shared the history of the company (30 yrs in business, I remember correctly) and reviewed what we were hoping to replace- he showed me what Shading Solutions could do- measured, twice, and we were on our way. The date he told me to anticipate our awnings should be delivered and one week before, contacted me to say we are on schedule! The awnings were delivered and we set a date for installation. The day before, Kurt Lamothe, the installer, came to look at the awnings and to check out the job site, impressive! Not waiting for 'day of ' - being proactive shows professionalism ~ so appreciated in this day! The installers show up, again, professional and friendly and EARLY! Again, I was impressed because as they're installing, Joe, my sales guy, shows up just to make sure all is going well and that I was satisfied. He even texted me after to say there is a windy storm rolling in so make sure to roll up the awnings as they were just installed. The guys picked up all the wrappings and left not one piece behind. Oh- and the price was fair, no hard sell or upsell. Will post pics later ~ but we are VERY satisfied to find a company and people who are professional and are great at their jobs! Thanks Joe, Kurt, Kurt Jr and Cliff (?) I apologize if I got the name wrong!

After living for several years with an ill-fitting and unattractive outdoor bench cover--made by a…read moredifferent company--the replacement we received last week from Creative Covers came as a tremendous relief. It's also much easier to take off and put back on, as the material is lighter and more flexible. The spot where we're obliged to keep the bench (we have no yard, only a small balcony) takes a real beating from the elements--sun and rain--so a cover like this is essential for extending the useful life of this piece of outdoor furniture, which doubles as additional storage space, underneath the seat. We greatly appreciated the selection of colors and different grades of material, as well as the multi-year warranty. TIP: Be sure to provide Creative Covers with precise measurements, including any additional ones that they request. Measure twice (and write all the numbers down)! Your cover can only be as well-fitting as the accuracy of the measurements you provide.

During COVID, I bought an outdoor furniture set. However, it didn't come with any covers to protect…read moremy investment. I didn't want to just put a tarp over the furniture. Nor did I want covers that you could just buy off a store shelf. I reached out to Yelp and Creative Covers came up. I like the fact that they are very customer service oriented. They also provided me with what I needed to do. All you need is to know how to read a tape measure and take photos. The rest is easy. When my custom covers arrived, I was so excited. Just like a child on Christmas morning!!! The covers were made sturdy. I get so many compliments on them. Don't wait contact Creative Covers to help you out. This year, I redid some outdoors metal bar stools and Creative Covers came to the rescue again. Hector was so knowledgeable in getting my covers done. One again they arrived and I was over the moon. Your not going to find a better product out there for the price that your going to pay, for custom covers.
