“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!
“The service was great from the start when Jose came to give us an estimate. The awning arrived fairly quickly. The installers were great had my 2Odt awning up and running in 3 hours. They were very friendly and they cleaned everything up. I’m so very happy with our awning and choosing Made in the Shade.”
Thank you, Mariann! We're so glad to hear you had a great experience from the estimate to the installation. It's wonderful to know you're happy with your awning and our team. Your satisfaction means a lot to us!
“Jose and his team were amazing from start to finish! He helped me pick out beautiful custom shades for my beauty studio and made the whole process so easy. Everything came out perfect and completely elevated the space. Highly recommend!”
Thank you, Angel! We're so glad to hear that you loved the custom shades and that Jose and his team made the process easy for you. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
