The premium difference

Cheap shade is the most expensive shade

A bargain system that fades, rattles, and dies in a few summers costs more than the premium build you buy once.

WHY PREMIUM?
“The most expensive screen is the one you buy twice.”
  • American-made premium systems, Sunbrella awning fabrics, Twitchell and Phifer screen mesh, genuine Somfy motors
  • Custom-built to your exact measurements, never an off-the-rack box-store kit
  • Die-cast, powder-coated extruded aluminum hardware engineered for decades of California sun
  • Backed by a 15-year warranty on awnings and motorized screens, coverage varies by product and component
The cheap alternative
  • Big-box DIY kits with thin, off-the-rack fabrics
  • Fabrics that fade and hardware that works loose in two summers
  • No-name motors with no local service network when they fail
  • Bought twice, once cheap, once right

“AJ Shades did an outstanding job installing our retractable awning. From the initial consultation through the final installation, the communication was excellent. They kept us informed every step of the way, showed up when they said they would, and answered all of our questions. The installation was professional and efficient, and the finished product exceeded our expectations. The awning looks fantastic, operates smoothly, and has made our patio much more comfortable to enjoy throughout the day. You can tell they use quality materials and take pride in their workmanship. If you're looking for a company that's reliable, professional, and delivers a great product, I highly recommend AJ Shades. We couldn't be happier with the entire experience!”

“AJ Shades did an excellent job installing our new motorized awning. From the first conversation to the final installation, the process was professional, clear, and easy. The awning looks great, works smoothly, and has completely changed how we use our patio. We were impressed with the quality of the materials, the Somfy motor, the built-in lighting, and the clean installation. You can tell this is not a cheap temporary shade product. It feels solid, looks high-end, and makes the backyard much more comfortable. Tony and the AJ Shades team were knowledgeable, respectful, and took the time to explain everything. We are very happy with the finished product and would definitely recommend AJ Shades to anyone looking for a premium retractable awning.”

“We had AJ Shades install a motorized awning for our backyard and it has been a great upgrade. The patio used to get too much sun in the afternoon, so we weren't using the space as much as we wanted. Now we have shade when we need it and the area feels much more comfortable. The awning looks clean on the house and the motor works very smoothly. The fabric feels high quality, and the built-in lights make the patio feel really nice in the evening. The 15-year warranty also gave us confidence that we were choosing something built to last. Tony and the AJ Shades team were professional, helpful, and the installation came out very clean”

Riverside & the Inland Empire

Motorized Patio Screens in Riverside & the Inland Empire

Santa Ana wind, written quotes, and HOA submittals, answered straight by the local crew.

How do motorized patio screens handle Santa Ana winds?
With wind-rated zip-track engineering: the mesh locks into its storm rails, zip tracks on all four sides, so it stays tensioned and quiet through gusty inland afternoons that would shred a loose screen. For the windiest Riverside and Inland Empire exposures we add a gust sensor, the screens retract themselves automatically when winds hit your threshold, whether you’re home or not.
What affects the quote for motorized patio screens?
The number and size of your openings, the mesh you choose, solar mesh for heat and glare, insect mesh for evening airflow, and the motorization options you want, like sun and wind sensors. Every quote is in writing after we measure your openings on site, and the estimate is completely free. No numbers over the phone, no guesswork, real measurements, real options, zero obligation.
Will my HOA approve motorized screens in Riverside County?
In almost every case, yes. Retracted, the screen rolls up into a slim housing that’s nearly invisible; deployed, the mesh reads as a clean, finished look that architectural review committees rarely object to. We help with the submittal, housing dimensions, mesh colors, mounting details, all formatted the way Riverside County ARCs expect. Tell us your community at the free estimate and we’ll handle the paperwork with you.
