    Extra 20' x 10' of shade
    Crystal N.

    It's no accident this company has such wonderful reviews. We had an excellent experience from start to finish. John initially came out to show us our options for a large retractable awning. He was extremely knowledgeable, not pushy, and prices were lower than any other company that bid the project. Promised timeline was kept. Installation was seamless. Jose, Javier, and Sam did the install. They were very professional, tidy, and had great craftsmanship. Will definitely use this company again for any future projects.

    300% recommended as the contractor for your shades. John was very respectable and was very fair in his quoting and his work. He did not let me down with his service and product. His install team was also very very quick and professional. You're getting the most value if you're going through this company. He had so many color options and opted to work with me for 2 sails instead of 5 and my family loves the shades. Thanks for installing this just in time for summer!

    I highly recommend Where Shade Is Made! I had recently built an ADU in the back of the house, but we had to cut down the tree and our shade was completely gone. It was stifling hot at over 90°. Reached out Steve, the founder, got back to me immediately Within an hour of my inquiry. Got my appointment and measurements with John and signed the contract. And Javier came to install with his crew and it was absolutely flawless. They were extremely competitive in their pricing. My experience with the company and the Awning was fantastic! They just came today and also did my second home. Highly highly recommend Where Shade Is Made!

    We had a superb experience with Where Shade is Made in every way imaginable: Steve, the owner, was very knowledgable about retractable awnings in general and his awning products in particular, so finding a solution was a pleasurable experience. We purchased two retractable awnings, which were very high quality and were not much different in cost from the "DIY" awnings I had considered before finding Steve's company, so Steve delivered a very cost effective product as well. The installation crew was very professional and efficient-the installation was smooth and drama-free, including touch up of the stucco around the installs (imperceptible from the surrounding area when they finished), and a thorough cleanup after the install (which is also an aspect of installation services missing with many contractors). Bottom line: I recommend Steve and his company without hesitation.

    From start to finish, my experience with Where Shade is Made was excellent. My backyard gets blinding afternoon sun and the ugly pergola I had was just not cutting it. When I called Where Shade is Made I spoke to Steve who discussed various solutions with me. I decided on a 14' motorized retractable awning. Jimmy came out a few days later to take precise measurements, and was extremely patient while I selected a fabric from his book of marine quality Sunbrella fabrics. He also gave me a detailed explanation of the installation process. He answered my list of questions before I even asked them. About two weeks later, my beautiful custom made awning was installed. I love how I have complete control on how far out it extends and that the wind motion sensors will automatically retract the awning to prevent high wind damage to the frame.

    Worked with these guys on my house for power window shades for indoor and outdoor shades. Truly professional from start to finish. They came out and did the first estimate and scheduled the install for a week later. The price agreed upon was great and there were no surprises after install was complete. These guys did a great job and I would recommend if you are looking for shades for your house call these. Quality materials and quality service at a great price. Thanks guys!

    A Game Changing decision! I have a west facing door, terrace, and yard. Having an awning installed has made my terrace walkable, my room livable, and shade has been made! John was friendly and because of his friendliness, I chose to do business with them.

    Everything from start to finish was smooth and pleasant. Price was fair and customer service was excellent! They were on time and always gave me updates. Came out modern and clean, just what I wanted. Salesman - John

    We highly recommend using "Where Shade Is Made". Jimmy and Steve were amazing, pleasant, great communicators, professional, service oriented and they understood our unique specific needs and worked with us. The installlers were quick and efficient. They provided excellent service and great quality with many options we highly recommend using them.

    The awnings that you see in the pictures look great and work well but that is not the whole story. From the first appointment through the efficient and smooth install to programming of remote and the little training session, all aspects of our interactions with Where Shade is Made were pleasant and stress-free. We would hire them again and highly recommend their product.

    I highly recommend "Where Shade is Made," their product quality is outstanding. I can't speak highly enough of this company. I was completely impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, suggestions, choices, punctuality and their overall customer service. They understood the look I was going for and were so patient, while I decided. Look no further if you're looking for a quality awning and excellent service.

    See all

    Extremely Disappointed - Warranty Ignored Despite Multiple Follow-Ups…read more I'm genuinely disappointed that I have to leave this review just to try and get a response. In 2023, I purchased a large custom awning for my backyard, paying over $13,000. I was told it came with a warranty, which was one of the main reasons I chose this company. In April 2024, I noticed one of the corners had started tearing. I called the company immediately. The receptionist, Pam, mentioned she was retiring and gave me John's direct number. When I spoke with John, he said he needed to verify my warranty. A few days later, he confirmed it and told me that Brian would be contacting me to take care of the issue. I spoke with Brian on May 6 and even included a screenshot of our conversation. Since then, I've followed up multiple times via phone and text. He promised to schedule a tarp pickup--but never showed up. No updates, no calls back. Completely unreliable. As a repeat customer--having purchased not one but two awnings from this company--I expected better. The quality of their work is good, but that means nothing if they disappear the moment you need warranty support. If you're considering working with this company, be warned: they may deliver a great product, but if something goes wrong, you're on your own. The lack of communication and accountability is incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. I truly hope this review gets their attention, because I'd still like to see this handled the right way. If the company makes this right, I will gladly remove this review. But as of now, I cannot recommend them.

    Excellent quality and workmanship. Priced well and the installers were professional and neat.read more
