Explore the Possibilities: Exterior Shades
Our Backyard Outdoor Shades are made to handle everything Mother Nature throws at them—sun, wind, rain, even the occasional North Jersey snow flurry.
We offer:
- Exterior Patio Shade Solutions: These are perfect for screened-in porches, pergolas, decks, and balconies. Our Exterior Patio Shades are available in solar screen fabrics that preserve your view while reducing glare and heat.
- Motorized Shades: Enjoy push-button or smart home control. Motorized options integrate seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and most home automation systems.
- Cordless Lift Systems: Ideal for families and pet owners, cordless lifts keep your space clean, safe, and sleek.
Brands like Insolroll are leaders in performance fabrics that stand up to extreme outdoor conditions while still looking great year after year. Plus, custom options mean we can match your home’s architecture and outdoor color palette perfectly.
Add Style and Flexibility with Retractable Awnings
Love the sun one moment and want full shade the next? Enter the Retractable Awning—the ultimate solution for flexible comfort.
These smart, stylish awnings extend out when you want cover and roll back in when you don’t. Available in manual or motorized systems (including remote control and smartphone app options), they’re perfect for patios, decks, and poolside areas.
Design perks include:
- Hundreds of fabric colors and patterns
- Optional built-in LED lighting
- Weather sensors for automatic retraction
- Durable frames that withstand wind and rain
Awnings help reduce indoor cooling costs and make your outdoor space usable even on the hottest summer days. And since they retract, they don’t block natural light when you’re not using them. Win-win!
