Chapter one

The Marine

Before there was AJ Shades, there was a Marine. Tony Jones served as a combat veteran in the United States Marine Corps and came home a disabled veteran, rated 100% through the VA. The Corps teaches a few things that don't wash off: show up on time, do the job right the first time, and never leave anything unfinished.

Those aren't motivational-poster words around here. They're the operating manual. Every estimate kept, every install finished clean, every warranty honored in writing, that's the standard Tony carried home, and it's the standard every AJ Shades job is held to.

Chapter two

The builder

Tony built his career the hard way, in the trades, on real jobs, where a mistake costs real money and a reputation is earned one house at a time. AJ Shades grew out of that work in Eastvale, California: premium retractable awnings, motorized screens, patio covers, and awning recovers, custom-built and installed by our own people.

No franchise playbook. No call center. No rotating subcontractors. When you reach out, you talk to the people who will actually build your project, led day-to-day by Richard Gutierrez, our Project Manager. That direct line from the person who quotes your job to the crew that installs it is why the work comes out right.

And the record backs it up: our team has earned 605 five-star reviews. Not bought, not traded, earned, one finished job at a time.

Chapter three

The standard

AJ Shades sells one thing above everything else: the last shade system you'll buy, not something you replace every few years. Everything is custom-built and American-made, and our retractable awnings and motorized power screens carry a 15-year warranty, because they're built to earn one.

That's also why we're upfront about who we are: the premium option, never the budget option. A free in-home estimate gets you your exact number in writing, no ballparks, no pressure, no games. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.

Veteran-owned. California-licensed (CSLB #951583). American-made. Fifteen years behind every awning and screen. That's the whole résumé, and we're proud of it.
