We have a house with a nice west facing view in the back yard. We installed a new deck, but needed…read morethat finishing touch of an awning to shield the deck (and Great Room) from that blazing afternoon summer sun. Enter Best Awning Company. I called them for an estimate. The owner, Tyler, happened to be finishing up an estimate in Parker and he was at our place within about 20 minutes. That is responsive! He looked over the area, took measurements, and reviewed our options, including brands, styles, features, colors, etc. We elected to go with the KE Durasol for the deck and a Sunsetter Easy Shade for the pergola. We opted to get the motorized version for both. Given the size of the awning we wanted, the product had to be ordered, but it was not a long wait, about 4 weeks (probably a little less). The crew showed up on time, were highly professional and did quality work. We even had to have some extra support work done given the span of our awning (pushing 20'). The crew engineered the proper solution and completed installation of the awning and the screen in about 4 hours. The product and quality of work was fantastic. As a side note, we had some high winds, resulting in a slight final adjustment. Tyler came out and made the adjustments himself and things have worked flawlessly ever since then. We are extremely pleased we went with the electric versions of the products as well as the products themselves. Tyler was very responsive, professional and helpful as was Teresa, coordinating everything from the office. The installation crew was top notch. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. Just so you know, I recommended them to my in-laws and they are extremely happy with their awning as well. (You know I have to like the product and company to recommend them to the in-laws. :D)

We cannot thank this amazing company enough.

Andy had come for the consultation, and made that part really easy for us. Everything was pretty straight-forward, and he was up-front with their pricing. Courtney was awesome with scheduling, and even accommodated my communication preferences with text and email, which I found super helpful as a millennial and a software developer :) I am very happy we went with them instead of the other guys that quoted our blinds, and I recommend them to anyone reading this.

It's hard to put into words how wonderful our experience was with David at MetalArc. We had…read morecompleted a beautiful high end kitchen remodel and the crowning jewel was to be the metal and glass cabinet doors that our architect had drawn in. However, the company she had used in the past wouldn't call me back. I found MetalArc using Google. And I'm beyond happy I did. First, their commitment to their craft is top notch. They will work diligently to get the project right. The level of refinement that we were looking for with these doors was not a hurdle they shied away from but rather they accepted the challenge and worked side by side with me to get it exactly right. The finished product is stunning, we couldn't be happier. Second, David's level of communication is a rarity. He is such a well spoken, clear and eloquent communicator. It is a lost art in today's day and age. I was impressed time and time again with his clarity and thoughtfulness in every conversation and email. This was truly a "project" that required communication and collaboration and he impressed me time and time again. Third, he is a good man whose primary goal was not only meeting but exceeding expectations. On top of being an expert in his craft, he has mastered being a good person. I can't say enough good things about him (and his brother, Joseph!). Thank you we will continue to sing your praises.

We hired Metal Arc to fabricate and install custom steel shelving. I want to be fair from the…read moreoutset -- the shelves do look good now -- but getting to that outcome was far more stressful and frustrating than it should have been for a custom fabrication project. There were multiple measurement errors throughout the process. They mismeasured twice and had to come back to redo work, which felt sloppy and avoidable given the scope and cost of custom metalwork. More concerning were the alignment issues: the shelving did not align cleanly with the wall or even with itself. Metal Arc did not take accountability for these issues, and I was genuinely surprised that they considered this an acceptable finished deliverable. Because this was never properly resolved by Metal Arc, we ultimately had our painter use black tape to visually hide the gaps. That solution felt lazy and disappointing, and not something I expected to need after paying for custom work. Scheduling also added to the frustration. They were extremely evasive about confirming an installation date, which made it difficult to coordinate other contractors and keep our overall project on track. Communication throughout was another challenge. David was often long-winded and repetitive, which caused simple issues to drag on unnecessarily. He was also surprisingly aggressive about me not being present for a walkthrough, despite my husband being there, checking in multiple times, and being told by David's brother that he was "just there for measurements." I do believe they want to do good work, but they lack business professionalism, clear communication, and accountability. That combination created a lot of stress and uncertainty about whether we were actually going to reach a finished result. In the end, aside from the taped workaround, I'm happy with how the shelves look -- but the process was exhausting enough that I would proceed very cautiously or look elsewhere next time.

I called and called and called, left messages and finally received a call back, each and every time. I can't count how many times I had to have his workers come out to repair my awning. Not only did they come out to repair it, each and every time a worker came out it was a different worker. They kept quitting or getting fired, and basically hated what they were doing. Now, it's been 3 years and I've attempted to call his office (the phone is no longer in service). Called his cell number (the number is no longer in service). Called the company's phone and it went to voice mail, but I did get a number to call, so I called it. I believe Ron answered can kept saying "hello, hello, hello". Apparently he either didn't hear me or didn't want to speak with me. I've left messages on his work phone to call me, I've texted him on his cell phone - crickets is all I hear. All I wanted is to have someone come out and adjust this awning since one side is much lower than the other. Sure I can watch Youtube and most likely do it myself, but why?? I thought this thing was under warranty - evidently not! The reason I gave this company a 2 star is I rarely give out 1 stars. I did give it a 5 star when the job was finally completed, but I gave it some thought and I don't believe the overall work was rated even close to 5 stars.

I have used this company for nearly all the window coverings in my house, over a period of 30+…read moreyears, when then they started in Boulder. They have always done stellar work and carry high quality products. Unfortunately one of our Hunter Douglas shades of the mid 90s had a failed cord due to its extended use in a bedroom. When I called to see if it could be restrung, I learned the sad news that they cannot, due to federal safety laws regarding the child strangulation prevention measures of current manufacture. A good thing for children of course, but a complication for homeowners. We went out to their facility and worked with one of their designers and chose a shade similar enough in color and style to fit in our home. We ordered the product and waited about 4 weeks until it arrived. We picked it up and planning to install it ourselves, having done so for some of the older ones in the past. As it turned out, the method of install is so different now, the tools required and the shape of the brackets now also different, we were unable to do it. I called the designer and asked if we could have an installer after all. She contacted installation and got me the contact to set it up. Today the installer got here, a true professional, on time and with tools in hand, had it done in under 20 minutes. Nothing like having the skills and the tools and the height to do it with ease. We felt very fortunate and the price to do this was very reasonable. I will continue to use Innovative Openings for all of our window coverings. One more note, if you do have an older Hunter Douglas window shade product in your home with any small plastic fasteners or pull tabs for the old cord system that have cracked with age or high altitude sun exposure like ours, those parts can be ordered directly from Hunter Douglas online. It is simple to replace most of these parts. The parts are free and I was only charged a minimal shipping fee. I was able to get about 7 pieces. I was able to match colors for past products up to nearly 20 years old. I did those replacements myself. I even switched one to the same color but a different shape to better match the older blinds in the adjacent room. It's the internal cord system on the older blinds that they can no longer re-string. If you want to prevent replacing, be very gentle on them as they age.
