I sought out and got a number of estimates from companies to come up with a solution to intense direct sunlight hitting the front of my house in the afternoons. Furniture inside the house has faded as a result of the sunlight. We landed on Made In The Shade for a lot of reasons. The initial consultation was incredibly friendly, spot on with what we were asking for, and timely. Even getting the appointment set up was flawless because we received an immediate text to schedule the consultation after I had called in. They recommended some remotely retractable shades made out of really top notch materials. We chose one that would block out 95% of the UV rays. Once we chose Made In The Shade, there was communication throughout the process leading up to the scheduling of the installation. The installation was done beautifully, everything was cleaned up nicely afterwards, and the crew was absolutely terrific to work with. Immediately after it was done, I received a follow up from the office to make sure everything was OK and any additional information I asked for was provided. In this case they sent me electronic versions of all of the instructions and warranties. The process was flawless, and I would use Made In The Shade again without any reservation. Great value for the money, great treatment and terrific work. Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the kind review and recommendation! We enjoyed working with you and are so happy you love the new shades!! Read this review and more like it on ourย Google Business Profile.ย ย

These are the people you want. A locally owned small business run in the way it used to be before corporations and franchises took overโ€”ie. people who take personal pride in their work and products. The owner himself came out to measure my windows, he showed me various options, was transparent about pricing and installation timeline. His pricing was definitely competitive. Products came in on time and he and his son (I believe they co-own the business) installed the products themselves. They were efficient and detail oriented. We have had the motorized blackout shades for a month now and we LOVE them. Without question I would use them againโ€”and I would recommend their services unhesitatingly to anyone looking for an honest, reliable, cost effective, detail oriented business for their window coverings. Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the kind words! Weโ€™re thrilled youโ€™re loving your new motorized blackout shades and truly appreciate your support of our family business.
