Buy Premium Awning Systems Through an Authorized Dealer

Our dealer program is built for licensed contractors and builders. Fill out the dealer inquiry form and we'll walk you through what you need.

Retractable awnings and motorized screens carry the manufacturer’s 15-year warranty. Coverage varies by product and component.

That's exactly why buying through an installer-dealer beats buying through a distributor. We install these systems every week, so when you have a question about mounting, wiring, or sensors, you're talking to someone who's done it.

No set minimum. Whether it's a single awning for a picky client or a run of systems for a development, reach out and we'll talk through your project.

Tell us about your job in the dealer inquiry form, we'll work out what makes sense for your location and schedule.

No, most of our contractor-dealers sell from a working display, not a showroom. One motorized screen on your own patio or shop, demonstrated live on a sunny afternoon, outsells any brochure wall. We provide the sample kit, fabrics, hardware finishes, control demos, and the co-branded quote materials. Your truck, your reputation, and one working system are the showroom. If you later build a dedicated display space, we will help you spec it, but it is never the price of admission.

Hands-on, on real systems, before you sell your first job. Your lead installer trains on measuring, mounting into different substrates, motor wiring and programming, sensor setup, and troubleshooting, the full install from survey to walkthrough. Then our team stays available for every job after: send photos of a tricky mount, get guidance before you drill. Contractors tell us the post-training backup is the real product, because the one job you cannot figure out alone is the one that determines your reputation.

That is the best possible start. Your past clients already trust you, a ‘we now offer premium retractable shade’ touch to your list, plus a working display they can see, converts at rates cold marketing never reaches. Remodelers revisit kitchen clients; pool builders revisit pool clients; roofers catch homeowners already spending on the exterior. We provide the announcement templates and the product story; you provide the relationships. Most contractor-dealers close their first system within weeks of training.

We do. Every retractable awning and motorized screen carries our 15-year factory warranty, handled through AJ Shades, you are never left explaining a manufacturer problem to your customer alone. Parts flow from our American factory, technical support answers from people who install these systems weekly, and warranty claims do not come out of your margin. The program is built so your reputation is protected by ours.

Remodelers, pool builders, outdoor living contractors, and roofers see the fastest traction, they already work on the exterior, already talk to homeowners mid-project, and already own the trust. Electricians and smart-home installers do well too, because motorized products with Somfy controls and app integration fit their story. General contractors use shade as the finishing touch that elevates the whole project. The common thread is not the trade, it is that you are already in front of homeowners who spend on their homes.

With the sizing framework from training. Most residential quotes reduce to a handful of measurements and three decisions: product, size, and controls, the configurator and our team handle the engineering. Contractors tell us a shade add-on takes about fifteen minutes on an estimate once they have done three. The key is quoting it in the same visit, while the customer is already in buying mode, instead of making it a separate conversation later.

That is exactly when you call us. Every system is built to order, so odd sizes are normal work, not special favors, and our engineering review catches mount problems before production, not on the ladder. Send photos and measurements, get a buildable specification back, and quote with confidence. The contractors who win the weird jobs are the ones with a factory behind them, and that is the whole point of the program.

For many trades, yes, and that is one of the quiet reasons contractors add the line. Interior remodelers hit winter slowdowns; shade consultations and booked spring installs smooth the calendar. Pool builders sell shade with every pool. Even in warm markets, the rainy weeks that stall outdoor work are perfect for writing shade quotes. It is a high-margin line you can sell from a warm truck cab, and the installs schedule into whatever gaps your main trade leaves.
