I had an extremely poor experience with them. From the start, communication was a mess--messages went unanswered and appointments were repeatedly delayed. When the shades finally arrived, the installation didn't match what was promised: fit and measurements were sloppy, alignment was off, and several components looked incorrectly installed from the beginning. After installation, the issues didn't get better. I reached out to have corrections made, but the response time was slow and the problem wasn't addressed properly. Overall, the quality doesn't match the price, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone looking for professional workmanship and reliable follow-through. A real bad stud. High and low. read more

I had HighlifeATX install a shade sale this past summer, and just had cafe lights installed today. I'm so happy with both results! The sail significantly cools my back deck when it's sunny, and the lights perfectly illuminate the space. Their staff--from admin, to sales, to technicians--are responsive, friendly, and efficient. When they came to put up the cafe lights this morning, I asked last minute if they could install an eye hook for my laundry line to my shade post and they cheerfully agreed to do it free of charge. The hook and loop hardware are much nicer than I'd imagined, and it was clear they'd done it thoughtfully. read more

We had a sail shade installed over our driveway last year. Not only did they do a great job originally and in coming back to tighten in, they helped us out when one of the original fittings came loose (which wasn't their fault). We had our roof redone and roofers uninstalled some mounts and then reinstalled incorrectly. Highlife atx proomptly came out and repaired it for us. Great company. read more

Had a great experience with yas and Julio following up on their installation what a wonderful team. You definitely need to use them

We installed two shades in the west-faced backyard. From consultation to installation, we are very happy to choose HighlifeATX. The consultant, office people, and installers were all professional, punctual, and friendly. The shades and poles are good quality and made our backyard look much better. The backyard and rooms are much cooler as well. I would recommend it to my friends! read more

We finally pulled the trigger on our HighlifeATX Custom Sail Shades this summer. And we are so glad we did!!!! Our back patio gets beaten down by the sun from 11am until sundown and for 10 years we have been miserable. Not any more! These custom shades have changed everything about our outdoor living. We have the most incredible shade! This summer we have used our back patio and pool more than any other summer. Our pool water has stayed cool and refreshing, we can wear less sunscreen, and even our plants are happier!!! We no longer have to race across a hot pool deck to get to the water and our back patio is actually a place we can enjoy! I even felt comfortable investing in quality outdoor furniture because I know it is protected. Everything about this investment was positive. The employees with HighlifeATX were great to work with from beginning to end--communicative and they kept to schedule. Our project was admittedly more expensive than a typical project as our shades were custom cut for our very large pool/patio area. But it was a bullet we were willing to take and the decision paid off!!! read more

We had a great experience using Mueller Highlife to install a shade sale over our parking area. We live on a narrow lot with several old growth pecan trees, and needed something that would provide some protection from falling pecans. We couldn't install a parking structure because of the narrowness of the lot. Making an appointment is easy. They came out to do an estimate, drew up the plans, and got us on the schedule for the following week. Communication was prompt and friendly. Installation took two days, one to dig the holes and insert the poles, and another to install the shade itself (both processes are very fast, but I think the concrete needs time to cure). Price was extremely reasonable and there are several colors and sizes to choose from. We are extremely happy with the product and service. Highly recommend! read more

Mueller HighlifeATX did a fantastic job designing and installing 2 sail shades for a sunny spot in my garden. The end product was exactly what I had envisioned from the beginning. They are professional, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I am a happy customer of Mueller HighlifeATX! read more

Mueller Highlife installed a sail shade over the deck in my backyard, and I couldn't be happier. The deck got sun all day, so it was too hot to use most days. Now I can drink coffee out there and watch the lizards without baking in the sun. I originally thought I could put up a sail shade myself, but I discovered that the poles need to be anchored in concrete to withstand the Texas wind. The communication with the company was excellent, installation was not disruptive, and pricing is fair. I recommend Mueller Highlife without reservation. read more

Without much fanfare in this review, they literally gave us exactly what we asked for. Could not be happier with our shades. Kudos to Francisco and Laura! Francisco patiently worked with us on design and installation and got it right the first time. Laura was a breeze to work with on scheduling and payments. Seriously could not be happier. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Mueller Highlife. It took a little time to get my consultation scheduled (they're understandably very busy and popular) but once it happened everything moved very quickly and smoothly. Greg came to our house on time as expected and drew up a sketch with estimate on the spot based on out layout and what we wanted. Shortly after, Laura wrote me an e-mail to schedule installation the next week. On the day of installation, I requested a change to the design and the team adapted with no complaint. I received an updated invoice after installation and paid it easily online, everything matched what I was quoted. We ended up doing 3 shade sails with cafe lighting and a fan and it all looks gorgeous! Plus, all in the cost is less than what we were quoted for just a pergola. I couldn't be happier! read more

We love, love, love our new sail shade! After researching different options and receiving multiple quotes for an outdoor covering for our patio that receives sun all day, we decided a sail shade would be the best option for us. Mueller Highlife provided an excellent experience from start to finish. Setting up the consultation was simple, even with multiple reschedules due to rain. The consultation was thorough and we were quickly provided with all of our options and up-front pricing. Scheduling the work was quick and easy once we decided what we wanted. Finally, the crew showed up right on time and were very friendly and extremely efficient....start to finish was about 2 hours. I would highly, highly recommend them to anybody in need of a sail shade! read more

Look no further - these guys are AWESOME! After a bunch of research we went with Highlife for a driveway shade sail. Scheduling was a breeze. Robert was there every step of the way. We had a complicated project given our particular layout, but they worked through the challenges without a hitch. Reliable, reasonable, and great work product. Thanks Robert, Greg, & team! read more

We had heard good things about Highlife, but please Austinites, AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS! Greg came by this week, and we had a perfectly fine consultation. His assistant emailed me almost immediately asking if we wanted to schedule an installation. I said tentatively yes while we decided on the sail size and then wrote back the following morning with simple questions regarding color samples, how to clean the sail, and timing for the install. Haven't heard anything for 2 days, and then I come home this afternoon to see utility markings all over our yard. Unbelievable this company would submit a ticket to mark our utilities without our acknowledgement and before we've even signed a contract. RUN AWAY because the communication from this company is horrendous. read more

Greg have us just the right design for a west facing deck which gets sun all year round. He was prompt, his design was to scale and we'll conveyed. Laura at the front desk was very friendly and also arranged for the installation prior to the shelter in place hit Austin city. Fransisco who worked in the installation went over the sail colors, have us options to choose from and did the installation single handed. He was very thorough with the poles, sail and lights. The entire team is very friendly, professional, quality of work is great, price is right. I'd definitely recommend them to anytime out there to beat the Texas summer. read more

Gregg came out and installed two shades and cafe lights while we were working on a patio project during a cold snap around Christmas. Not an ideal time, but everything turned out great. We are enjoying the shade and lights immensely and look forward to being out on the patio as much as possible. Thinking about adding a fan next. read more

Fantastic communication, perfect product--exactly what I hoped for. I've had these sail shades up for three months now, and I continue to love them. Pre-Quarantine, when I was still having visitors to my new home, the sail shades are the feature that draws the most compliments. read more

We had a shade sail installed over our driveway and the whole process from start to finish was so easy. We had to postpone the date a couple of times and they were understanding and happy to reschedule for a later date. I'm so impressed that Greg was able to somehow miss our irrigation lines when digging holes for the poles. I recommend Mueller Highlife 100%. read more

Hired Greg to install some sail shades over our small patio area. Ended up coming up with a cool design and adding nice lights. The sale shade end up coming loose and one of the ends came on done but he quickly came out and remedied. Great company and great service. read more

We just had a shade installed by Mueller and could not be happier. They were responsive an communicated the whole time. Everybody I worked with in Mueller was fantastic. Thanks! read more

Sail shade, lights and fan installed to battle the Texas heat. They came back quickly in response to a minor issue and made the appropriate adjustment after initial install and payment. Only issue I had with them is that they were slow the respond to initial request for info BUT I assume many contractors are overwhelmed and short staffed these days. Just be patient if it takes awhile for them to respond for the initial assessment and quote . We had an umbrella previously and the sail shade is immensely better than an umbrella. read more

I love this company! Amazing customer service and reasonable prices on everything. Such great products for Austin (i.e. sunshades, cafe lighting, fans, etc). We installed cafe lighting and a large sunshade on our 3rd-floor terrace. Total game changer!! We're out there all the time now (day and night) and my husband swears it's 10 degrees cooler (than the temperature in the sun). Highly recommend! You won't be disappointed. read more

What an easy, seamless, amazing process!!! Greg hung sunshades for us in our backyard and I can't believe we did not do this sooner! They are amazing! Texas heat be damned!!! I can now finally use our backyard when the sun is out! I picked Greg based on his awesome reviews here on yelp -- and I highly recommend him. Professional, timely, efficient! All the other reviewers were right. Thanks Greg!!! read more

We had a sail shade and lighting installed in our side patio and decided we wanted to add to it and had Mueller Highlife come back out and they did a great job both times. We had to have it all taken down temporarily for some repairs on the stucco and they came back out and reinstalled the shades and lights for a very reasonable price. I would hire this company again. read more

We had these folks install a couple of shades over our pool to hopefully drop our pool temp a bit. The results were astounding. We went from a pool that felt like bath water to a refreshingly cool pool, even through August. Could not be happier. Their customer service after the sale is wonderful too. Now days, that's almost unheard of. I highly recommend this company. read more

Last spring, we contacted Mueller Highlife regarding sunsails. Greg responded within 24 hours and scheduled within a week to give us a quote. The sails were installed without an issue and he restrung our deck lights, too. We enjoyed the shade provided by the sails so much that we contacted Greg about another one last month. Along with a fourth sail, Mueller Highlife installed a ceiling fan and LED lighting throughout our home downstairs. Since moving to Texas last year, we have had extensive work done to our home. Mueller Highlife is the ONLY contractor we had ZERO issues with-I can't say enough positive things about Greg and his company! read more

We hired Greg and his team to install sail shades and cafe lighting in our back yard. They installed the poles which were reclaimed drill pipe. They look amazing and are apparently very strong. The first install wasn't quite what we hoped, but they corrected the issues quickly/nicely and we are very pleased with the project, especially the lighting. We'll probably use them in the future to add some more shades. Recommend! read more

Just installed our sail shade today and I can't describe how professional and efficient they were! It was a long wait (took us 2.5 months from submitted inquiry to installation) but it was so worth it. Cant be happier to get this done before summer hit! read more

Greg installed a beautiful sail shade across my drive. It really makes a difference in the heat on that side of the house. But, their service after the sail is what makes the big difference. A high wind weather event caused a problem (not MHL's fault) and Greg fixed it very quickly without charging me. Prior to the most recent weather event, I reached out for advice and Greg responded almost instantly with the requested advice and support. MHL truly deserves 5 stars! read more

Mueller Highlife installed three backyard sail shades last month, and we could not be happier. The process was uncomplicated from start to finish. Tyler, the installer, was easy to work with and never tired of my questions. He offered us options and worked until we were satisfied. My neighbor saw them and requested the contact information. We are very pleased with the results and highly recommend. read more

Mueller Highlife installed 2 sails, lights, and a fan on my very sunny deck. It has made such a difference in the ability to use it in the hot summer months. Greg was so helpful and accommodating throughout the design/installation process. He even changed out one of the sails after I discovered I was not getting the shade coverage I needed. His installation crew is experienced, courteous, and willing to please. I highly recommend this company. read more
