 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whole process was very good. From initial consultation to installation, the team was professional. They allowed time for our research and answered questions without any pressure to make a decision. We are happy with the installation and operation of our shutters. A real enhancement to our home, allowing both natural sunlight and privacy. Great job Jeremy. We decided to install the cafe shutters on the last three windows facing out the back of the house. Jeremy’s team (Matt) was courteous and professional. Great job Matt.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were looking for "shade" on our deck, but didn't want to mount an awning on our roof, which would be required because of the geometry of the deck. MITS Jeremy came out, agreed with our concerns, and found an alternative: Shadowspec Retreat....a wall mounted umbrella that extends, tilts, and give us all the shade we wanted. The product is great! but BEST OF ALL is the exceptional customer service we received from Jeremy.  He went out of his way to make sure I could operate the umbrella (because I'm short, and have had a stroke) before installing it. I have so much respect for him and the company.  I have already recommended them to 3 people, and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for good products and great customer care and service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So thankful to find Made in the Shade after struggling with other companies. It was so easy from quote to install to payment. The blinds were installed perfectly. The quality is great, and price was very reasonable. We have numerous double windows and I thought we’d need two side by side blinds because I read of sagging with big box stores, I’m so glad I asked and one was recommended for aesthetics. A beautiful 5-stars!

Brad walked us through our options during the design phase and helped us make the right choices.  Our installers, Matt and Ezra, were very professional, courteous, and did an outstanding job.  Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Between Nathaniel (choosing the shade) and Matt (installing the shade) we had a great experience with Made in the Shade. After a few years of futzing around with our old shade, they gave us a fresh start with a product we can trust in for years to come.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I LOVE everything about doing business with Made in the Shade. Everyone is pleasant to talk with. They are very attentive to the final effect you want for the blinds on your windows and have just the product to make my vision a reality. I needed a creamy off white in some windows but white in others yet I needed them all to go together. No problem for them. Recently I added blinds to two rooms I hadn’t updated on my first contract with Made in the Shade and again they matched what they had done last year. Having upgraded my blinds with them once before I shouldn’t have been surprised, but once installed in the two bedrooms I could hardly believe how much they upgraded the whole room. Quality products, quality folks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and myself attempt to do updates to our home as it continues to age. We decided to update our window treatments and reached out to Brad Hicks with Made in the Shade (Mebane). Brad was prompt in setting up an appointment to discuss our needs. He was very helpful in guiding us in a window treatment  and one that blended with our home and window style. He presented many choices and fabric variations. After we firmed up our choice he quickly emailed a detailed quote which plainly showed pricing depending on fabric tier. We made our decision and Brad promptly placed the order and let us know that it would take approximately two weeks. In two weeks he reached out to discuss a convenient time to schedule an install appointment. Brad and Matt were very professional and we were comfortable having them in our home.We would highly recommend Made in the Shade and would not hesitate to be a repeat customer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brad did an amazing job recently by making our whole house look a lot better. To start with, Brad knew his job and showed us a great selection of quality products and materials we could choose from. Our project included installing roller shades in all of the windows. Some of these were also outfitted with drapery and valances But most amazing though was how Brad designed and installed a more than 12 ft wide, floor to ceiling, 3 panel Roman Shade with a beautiful one-piece Valence on top. All power supplies and electronics for remote operation were professionally installed by Brad as well. Highly recommended!

Blocking UV Rays

Protect Patio Furniture & Floors from UV Fading

The North Carolina sun is relentless on a south- or west-facing patio, and that constant UV exposure quietly destroys everything it touches. Cushions lose their color, wood furniture grays, and flooring just inside the door fades. Outdoor patio shades stop the damage at its source. Because exterior screens block the sun’s rays before they reach your furnishings, they filter out the majority of harmful UV while still letting in soft, usable light. Your patio set, outdoor kitchen, and the rooms beyond your glass doors stay protected instead of slowly bleaching out.

Think of it as low-cost insurance for a high-cost space. Replacing faded furniture or refinishing a sun-damaged deck adds up fast, and it’s all preventable. Outdoor patio shades extend the life and appearance of everything around your patio, so your investment looks newer, longer. For Greensboro homeowners who want to enjoy their outdoor living areas without watching them deteriorate, UV protection is one of the most practical reasons to add exterior screens.

Keeping Bugs Out

Keep Bugs Out & Extend Your Outdoor Season

Few things end an evening on the patio faster than mosquitoes, gnats, and flies. In North Carolina’s humid months, the bugs can make an otherwise beautiful outdoor space unusable right when you most want to enjoy it. Outdoor patio shades double as a barrier against insects. When lowered, the tight mesh screens seal off your patio or porch from flying pests while still letting the breeze through. You get the open-air feeling of being outside without constantly swatting at the air or reaching for the bug spray.
That protection is what turns a patio into a true extension of your home. Instead of retreating indoors at dusk, you can keep dining, lounging, and entertaining well into the evening and across more of the year. For Mebane homeowners, that means more usable space from spring through fall without screening in the entire structure. Outdoor patio shades give you the comfort of a screened room with the flexibility to raise them and open everything back up whenever you want.
