I purchased an external motorized shade from Shades West 5 years ago. I returned to the desert and found the shade was catching. I called today to schedule a repair and was pleased to learn that they could come today! The team was very professional and cleaned a lot of debris from the shade, lubricated it. It is now working well! Thank you for the prompt service! read more

I chose Shades West based on their excellent reviews while searching for a retractable awning vendor, and they exceeded my expectations at every stage. Jacob Holcomb walked me through all of my options with a completely no-pressure approach. I had noticed several alternative vendor products in my neighborhood that looked unprofessional and lacked robustness. Jacob carefully addressed my concerns and expertly guided me to a high-quality solution that perfectly fit my needs. The process from that point on was seamless: * Fast Delivery: The awning arrived much faster than I could have anticipated. * Smooth Installation: The installation went incredibly well, and Jacob remained readily available to answer any questions along the way. * Expert Electrical Work: I had unique specifications for the electrical and wiring layout. Jose from Signature Electric (a subcontractor for Shades West) went above and beyond to accommodate and execute my request flawlessly. The final outcome is absolutely beautiful. The recommendations Jacob made blend perfectly with the architecture of my home. This project is a prime example of getting exactly what you pay for--a premium product backed by stellar, professional service. I couldn't be happier! read more

Very efficient! read more

Great service a quality, shades west was very responsive and fast on my order and manufacturing.

I highly recommend Jacob and his team at Shades West! They did an excellent job installing exterior shades throughout my home, and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the products and their service. Living in the desert, our homes face harsh conditions from intense heat, cold, and strong, gusty winds--especially around large glass doors. I initially installed shades only in areas I thought needed the most protection. After seeing how well they performed, I added shades to all my major glass-door entrances and exits. The difference has been remarkable. My home stays cooler in summer, retains warmth in winter, and my glass doors now have extra protection from the harsh outdoor elements. To me, these shades are more than just a home upgrade--they're an investment in shielding my home, enhancing comfort, and potentially reducing heating and cooling costs over time. I also truly appreciate that Shades West stands behind their products and warranties. This isn't just a one-time installation that disappears afterward. Jacob and his team are professional, reliable, and available when you need them. If you live in the desert and have large glass doors exposed to the elements, I strongly suggest considering exterior shades. Interior shades can't offer the same level of protection from outside conditions. If you're thinking about investing in these outdoor shades, don't wait too long. I highly recommend Jacob and Shades West. You'll receive quality products, excellent craftsmanship, and a company that genuinely stands behind its work! read more

We purchased an awning from Shades West about a year and a half ago. The awning is quality and we use it regularly to shade our outdoor bar area. Recently we noticed the awning did not line up when it closed. We made a service call to Shades West. When Tom and Vincenzo came out for the service call, within minutes they were able to troubleshoot and fix the issue. We are so happy with the product and service provided by this company and would highly recommend them if you need shade in your outdoor space. read more

Our string on our shade broke. Thomas came over, just when he said he would. He fixed it quickly and it works better than it did! We have used Shades West for 9 years. I was a designer and I recommended them to all my clients. Who also were very satisfied. Thank you Thomas and Billy, you guys are the greatest!! read more

Wow! From start to finish Shades West not only delivers what they promise, but they also put the customer first. From the first call you make and the kind voice of Doreen answers, I let out a sigh of relief as I quickly realized that I was going to be in good hands. The personal attention my project received was amazing, considering that Shades West has locations on both the west and east coast! The company is big enough to tackle large projects, like my house with full wall custom windows and bi fold doors. Yet they provide that old fashioned customer service of a family owned company that is sadly missing today. When I built this new home, it's easy to get drawn in by the marketing of Lowe's and Home Depot. I was at first....but after a disaster and wasted money and being just another number when I called and had questions, I found Shades West! Imagine my surprise when the owner Billy, showed up to measure my windows and give me an incredibly fair estimate. I had seen the samples from Lowe's, and the quality of the electrical motors that Shades West provided on my automatic roller shades was far superior to the devices that the big box places use. Installation day was incredible, Billy and his team of technicians made fast but quality work hanging my roller shades. These guys know what they are doing, and come into your home polite and respectful, and clean up everything along the way! (Also, if you want a company full of people who look like Movie stars, think Shades West, lol!) From my small kitchen window, to the large cathedral windows in my living room, Shades West knocked it out of the park and gave me the security of knowing I have a product that will last a long time and backed by a company that cares. Take a look at my pictures and give Billy a call today! read more

I generally don't take the time to write reviews. But Shades West deserves one from me. I can't say enough good things about this company. We purchased shades for our balcony here in Palm Springs and remote-controlled shades for interior windows. The quality of the shades do not even compare with those you would find at local hardware stores like Home Depot. High quality. Long-lasting. Sophisticated appearance. We did encounter one problem with a shade. Shades West responded promptly and corrected the issue without delay. My wife and I are particularly appreciative of one of Shades West's service technicians--Tom (I hope I remembered your name correctly). A real knowledgeable and polite gentleman who handled the installation with utmost professionalism and later came to correct the one minor issue we encountered with one of the shades. So we highly recommnend this company. You can't go wrong. We will continue to use them as needed. --P.B. (Rancho La Paz, Palm Springs). read more

The entire process from picking out the right material to the installation went very smooth. Everyone was on time and very courteous. I love the finished product and wouldn't hesitate to refer friends to Shades West. read more

Shades West has to be the best! I've used them now for 3 houses and have had first class service from Billy. I just now had an equally good experience with their tech, Thomas. He solved the problem almost instantly - simple fix, but I didn't know it when I called for service. There's just something special about this company with their sales, service and office! read more

Consistently great service. We outfitted our home with exterior sun roller shades and interior motorized roller shades 9 years ago when Billy B was the owner. Billy merged his business (Desert Window Creations) with Shades West. Billy was/is a consummate professional and always took our calls with any questions and issues (very responsive). One of our exterior roller shades somehow rolled itself off of the roller bar and Tom came out to get it back on the bar and into the cassette. Tom couldn't have been more pleasant and efficient-such a nice, thoughtful gentleman. He explained how it happened and how to prevent it from happening again. He was in and out in 30 mins and we're "ready to roll!" There are a lot of shade companies/options in the desert and somehow all of the company names are super similar (lol). Most are great at sales but awol for service/maintenance. This company is the real deal and we highly recommend them! read more

Shades West installed motorized shades throughout our townhome in Palm Springs about two years ago and did an excellent job. A week ago, we needed a service visit, and it was also handled really well by the Shades West team. They got us on the schedule on short notice and did a really nice job getting one of the shades on a high transom window reconnected to the battery/power source. They also inspected and adjusted a couple of other issues. They were very nice to my wife who was there because I was out. We are really thankful for their excellent service. read more
