Every review below is a verified Google review of Made in the Shade North Jersey.
“Our experience with Jose and Made in the Shade North Jersey was excellent. I had looked at various online sites but preferred the in home experience. What a difference it makes to look at samples right in the room where they will hang. I purchased blinds for five rooms and am very happy with my decision to use Made in the Shade. Blinds came quickly and installation was quick and professional.”
Sally, thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We're thrilled you preferred the in-home experience — you're right, seeing samples in the actual light and room where they'll hang makes all the difference, and it's exactly why we do it that way. Congratulations on your five newly finished rooms! We're glad the ordering and installation process was smooth from start to finish. It was a pleasure working with you, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything else. — Jose, Made in the Shade North Jersey (And to anyone reading this: if you're weighing online options against seeing samples in your own space, that's exactly what we offer too — reach out and we'll bring the showroom to you.)
“We recently had 12 window shades replaced. Made in the Shade was fabulous from the meeting at our home for the selection to the installation. We choose Light filtering Solar shades with remote. The installation was done both timely and professionally. They are beautiful. I've gotten so many compliments on how they look. I would highly recommend Made in the Shade for window treatments. The options are plentiful. Barbara Albanese”

“Working with Jose and his crew at Made In The Shade was an easy and enjoyable experience. His professionalism and product knowledge are exceptional. The project from start to finish went flawlessly. I would recommend him and his company for any awning needs.”
Thank you, Ena! We appreciate your kind words and are glad to hear that you had an enjoyable experience with Jose and the team. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
“For years I have used umbrellas on my deck to shield us from the sun. We have gone through over 10 in the last 15 years as they would blow over, get torn or rust up and not work great.
I found Made In the Shade and Jose was awesome. We installed 2 20’ awnings on the back of our house to cover the full length of the deck.
We are able to operate them with a remote or the app on the phone which makes it so easy to do. Also there are lights in the awnings that make it great to sit outside at night and relax.
Yes it is an investment but worth every penny.
Has truly made entertaining outdoors so much better and comfortable.
I cannot thank Jose and Made In The Shade enough for helping make our outdoor life much more enjoyable.
If you are thinking about an awning then definitely reach out to Made In The Shade as they will not disappoint you.”
Thank you, Steve! We're glad to hear that you’re enjoying your new awnings and that they’ve enhanced your outdoor experience. Jose appreciates your kind words, and we're grateful for your recommendation. Enjoy those relaxing nights outside!

“Jose with Made In The Shade window treatments helped us with our 2 windows and sliding glass door. There are many colors and styles to choose from. With Jose’s guidance we were able to pinpoint exactly what we wanted. Decorating your home can be challenging, from picking out paint colors to carpet and window treatments. Jose took his time to show us the different styles and explain the different functions. Once our treatments were ready for install, Alvaro and his crew were great. On time, personable and took the time to show you how to operate your new items. If you’re in the market for new window treatments reach out to Made In The Shade. Jose will dress your windows to a T!”

We decided on a shade and his team came out to measure. The curtains were done in around a months time and the installation was flawless! I can’t believe how good the shades look. High quality and practical. I will be working with their team again in the future for other windows. 10/10 experience.”
