August 2020: We bought a patio cover from ShadeWorks of Boise, Idaho and are very pleased. Our cover was a significant investment and we wanted a beautiful, quality, long lasting product. We got it! The sales, quote and design process was smooth. ShadeWorks uses a tablet to design your patio cover in real time at your home while you watch, so you can contribute to the process. They have a booklet of pictures so you can see everything. The final product and cost were exactly as quoted, no hidden costs or anything like that. I do recommend choosing your color from the samples and not from the booklet and booklet colors are slightly off. Trevor and Rob did the installation. They arrived on time, know what they are doing and did an excellent installation job. They cleaned up the work area nicely after completion. They are a good team and are friendly, professional and courteous. The patio cover is attached to your homes facia board and this requires soffit to be removed so support brackets can be installed. Honestly, I was nervous having someone remove soffit but Trevor and Rob did an excellent job. We decided to use footings for a strong foundation which requires a building permit and inspections. Trevor and Rob handled everything including obtaining the permit and handling the building inspector. Their work passed with no problems. Rob's concrete work looks great and matches the patio nicely. I had a ceiling fan support installed. They answered all my questions so I could install the fan myself later (ShadeWorks does not do electrical work nor can they make electrical recommendations, but they can explain how the support is to be used which is all I needed). A quality patio cover is s significant investment of thousands of dollars. I can recommend ShadeWorks and Trevor and Rob to deliver a quality product worth the investment read more

In our initial steps to secure a Patio build, we contacted three separate businesses in the area.. The first showed up with nothing more than a notepad and pencil to record the details of the structure that we were looking to have built. Though polite and reasonably engaging, the one representative seemed in a hurry and took little to no notes and then was late in responding to me on details.. We moved on to a second business that never got back to us. Alas, SHADEWORKS responded to our inquiry immediately providing an online brochure representing all of their product lines with a host of photos. They were prompt in arriving for our first appointment and immediately had some idea as to what we were looking for and were able to answer questions with responses that we could easily comprehend. This is when we met Nick, who became the spearhead of communication with us throughout the process. I can't say enough about his professionalism and can-do attitude. He was quick to respond to any communication by us whether email or by phone and gave us a sense that we came first. We were kept abreast weekly of their schedule structure so that we never felt like we were out of touch. When our build job came up, the two young gentlemen that arrived on scene, Ray and Christian, Were quick to impress us With a diligent, can-do attitude And unwavering professionalism Throughout the three day project, and reflect well on the leadership at Shadeworks. Needless to say, we are extremely happy with Shadeworks and the product they provided us. read more

We are beyond thrilled with our experience with Shadeworks and the patio cover they provided. Initially, we were looking to hire a contractor to build a custom patio cover for us, but after discussing our project with our contractor, he recommended Shadeworks. He shared that his own parents had used them and were very satisfied with the results, and that many other neighbors in our subdivision had also turned to them. Based on his suggestion, we decided to reach out, and we couldn't be happier that we did. Shadeworks offered us a very competitive quote, and we ended up saving several thousand dollars compared to the cost of having a custom wood cover built by a contractor. The installation process was seamless--our new patio cover was actually completed ahead of schedule, and the installers were professional, leaving no mess behind. The new cover perfectly blends with the existing patio, enhancing the overall look of our backyard. Not only does it provide much-needed shade, but it also completes the extended area that wasn't originally covered when our house was built. We're now able to use our backyard much more comfortably, and the added value to the space has been fantastic. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and are so glad we decided to move forward with Shadeworks. If you're looking for an affordable, high-quality patio cover with excellent service, we highly recommend them! read more

Had money down with another company in the Treasure Valley. The owner of that company could NOT give us a date as to when our patio cover would be installed nor could they provide information as to the measurements and placement of the footers. When pressured about this info (we wanted to build a deck first so we needed these key pieces of info to proceed) the owner of that particular company told us "perhaps they were not the right company to do our cover". In other words, take our sub-par customer service or go else where. That is called a "take away sell" and is a harsh tactic. Steer clear of any company who would use it. Called ShadeWorks and had Kenny come to our house and give us an estimate. The estimate was slightly more expensive but he was able to tell us exactly when we could expect our cover to be installed and gave us exact measurements. The two men that installed our cover were professional and personable. They cleaned everything up to include wipe down the entire cover which was no small job! Within a half hour of their departure, the sales representative Kenny followed up to find out if we were satisfied and I confirmed I was! All the other patio cover businesses in the valley are going to go under in a few years because non can compare in customer service or quality! Thank you ShadeWorks! read more

We were trying to figure out what to do for shade after removing several overgrown trees in our backyard. The trees provided almost full shade all day to our swim spa and patio, and after removed, our spa was in full sun all day which rendered it useless for my disabled son. Nick from ShadeWorks came out to our house for the estimate. With some brainstorming, we decided a covered patio for the spa would be the perfect solution. In addition, we decided a pergola over the patio would nicely compliment the spa cover. The swim spa also has a handicap lift and they were able to make some custom accommodations. The plans were detailed to ensure accuracy. In addition, the team went above and beyond to get the project completed before my son's graduation party. The team performing the construction was very friendly and extremely competent. They finished the work promptly and left site looking even better than when they started. The project far exceeded our expectations and we LOVE our new patio cover and pergola. I can't recommend ShadeWorks enough. Their products are superior to any other of the vendors we researched and very competitively priced. Everyone at the graduation party raved about the new addition. Thanks ShadeWorks! read more

I'm absolutely thrilled with the patio cover Shadeworks installed! From beginning to end, their service was professional, prompt, and went above and beyond my expectations. The team was incredibly helpful in guiding me toward the perfect design with something that not only complements my home's style but also delivers the functionality I was looking for. The installation process was flawless. The crew was respectful, efficient, and left everything spotless when they finished. The craftsmanship and materials are clearly top-quality! It looks fantastic and feels built to last. What really impressed me was the value. The final price was actually less than I expected for such high-quality work. On top of that, they offered multiple helpful payment options that made the whole project even more manageable and stress-free. Thanks to Shadeworks, my patio has become one of my favorite spots to relax, and I can't wait to enjoy the shade all summer long. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of dependable, high-quality outdoor upgrades. Five stars without a doubt! read more

Shadeworks was great to work with and we're super happy with the result. I called several companies for bids, and Shadeworks offered the best price. That, combined with their high reviews, convinced us to go with them. They even started our patio cover weeks ahead of schedule after an opening came up and they cleared the timing with me, which was a nice surprise. Throughout the process, everyone was professional--from Kevin, our salesperson, who took calls after hours to answer questions; to Tony, who installed our cover and always left the jobsite clean and safe for our kids and dogs; to Kelly, who kept us updated every step of the way. We changed the location of our fan beams a few times and they were completely understanding. On install day we decided we didn't want one of the beams after all, and they happily refunded it. Start to finish, it was a great experience and we're confident we made the right choice with Shadeworks. read more

I absolutely love my new ShadeWorks patio cover. It was important for me to have a clean, contemporary style to go with my newly painted black and gray home. I selected the 8" Timber Frame post for a heftier look, combined with the simple bevel edge ends on the overhead pieces. ShadeWorks offered their product in the color black, which looks beautiful with my home. I worked with Nick Smith who helped me determine the size of my new patio cover. Nick hit it out of the ballpark with the patio design. ShadeWorks had Dillion and Terrance install the patio, and they did a fantastic job putting it together. They were hard-working, conscientious guys who got the patio installed in a timely manner. I chose ShadeWorks because they provide a high-quality product. They have an excellent reputation, so I got only ONE bid because they are so highly thought of in the industry. Thank you Shadeworks! read more

Shadeworks installed our patio cover recently and we're looking forward to all of the time we're going to spend out on our patio as soon as it warms up! We love its utility and it also looks great. The warmth of the brown really richens the look and it's going to be gorgeous this summer when the garden is in full color! It does let in more water than we anticipated (wondering if this is because we decided to go roof mounted, but this was the only option we wanted to consider because we wanted the extra height). Also, scheduling was a bit frustrating because of the weather conditions and delays due to water runoff from snow melting. However, we love the finished product and every person we interacted with at ShadeWorks was extremely helpful and easy to work with. we wouldn't hesitate to call them again for other projects on our property. read more

We had an amazing experience with ShadeWorks from start to finish! From the initial consultation to the final installation, everything was handled with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. The team was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us choose the perfect shade solution for our home. They really took the time to understand what we wanted, and the end result exceeded our expectations. The installation process was smooth, efficient, and clean--no stress, no mess, just a flawless finish. Not only does our new shade look beautiful, but it's also made a huge difference in comfort and functionality. You can truly tell they take pride in their work. If you're considering adding a shade to your home, I can't recommend ShadeWorks enough. Amazing service, quality craftsmanship, and an all-around great experience! read more

I just had my patio pergola installed today. It turned out more beautiful than I expected, if that is possible. I had a 3-man crew. All members were very professional, kept me informed thru the whole process, and even helped me find a company to relocate a down spout that needed to be moved. The crew did a fantastic job and were very conscientious about my pets, closing open gates and doors, and completely policed and thoroughly cleaned the area and side of house when project was complete. My new pergola effectively doubled my patio space. Looks like Christmas for my group of 6 will be properly spaced, masked, and more than happy to enjoy such a beautiful space. I should have the pine boughs, lights, and tree up and decorated by this evening. Way to go, boys! Service: Installation read more

I moved into my house two years ago and one of my future projects was to replace my patio cover. It was one of those open slate patios that I hated because rain and leaves would always end up on my back patio. so this summer was my outdoor projects and I got three bids and Shadeworks came out to be the best and affordable bid that I accepted. from start to finish from Zack as my rep to the install I was very happy with the process and it was a two day project and they did such an amazing job with demolition to install to clean up. I can't wait to use it for years to come with my family to have a wonderful extension of my backyard with now covered patio areas in two parts of my backyard. thank you Shadeworks for being a great company and for something new that I will love to enjoy. read more

I have had the best experience with Shadeworks, specifically their rep, Nate, who has gone above and beyond from the start with helping me plan my patio. Nate was professional and personable on our initial call to plan the on-site quote. Nate, along with his colleagues Zack and Jacoby, came on-site to help visualize our dream patio. They were even courteous enough to remove their shoes before walking through the house! The team was incredibly helpful with giving realistic details and were able to help us rethink our approach for the best possible yard. I also appreciated Nate's follow-up email and check-in call. We cannot wait to pull the trigger and start building with Shadeworks. 5 star experience, huge thanks to Nate and his team! read more

Enjoying my pergola just installed by ShadeWorks. It is exactly like Andy designed it. While waiting for the installation, Nate emailed, or called every other week with updates. Cole and Jordan arrived yesterday and finished the installation today. Cole and Jordan were efficient, thorough, fast, and personable. I had a couple of questions while they were installing, and they answered them immediately. They did a great job and finished in the time frame estimated. I've dealt with various vendors while in the process of completing the exterior yard, and some were not friendly and felt like they were doing us a favor. I will recommend this company to anyone wanting to improve their backyards. Joe E. read more
