Nobody has to sell an Arizona homeowner on the concept of shade. In the Valley of the Sun, the patio isn’t a seasonal luxury, it’s the second living room, used morning and night for eight or nine months of the year, and the only thing standing between a homeowner and that space is a sun that doesn’t negotiate. Triple-digit heat, blinding glare off the pool deck, and a west-facing patio door that turns the great room into a furnace by late afternoon: this is the daily reality your customers already live with.

AJ Shades is a veteran-owned American manufacturer of premium shade products, headquartered in Southern California and now building a nationwide dealer network. Our Quality Improvement Products line, motorized power screens, open-roll retractable awnings, and full-cassette awnings, was designed in the same kind of punishing sun Arizona deals with every summer, and it shows in the engineering: UV-stable fabrics, powder-coated hardware, and sealed cassette housings that shrug off dust and heat.

The Arizona dealer program is product-only. You don’t need an installation crew, a service department, or any prior experience with awnings. You buy from our wholesale catalog at dealer pricing, you sell to your customers under your own brand, and AJ Shades stands behind every sale with training, technical support, and a 15-year warranty on every retractable awning and motorized screen. It’s a way to add a high-demand product line to your business without adding overhead.

Think about who already has the customer: the pool builder finishing a backyard in Gilbert, the patio furniture showroom in Scottsdale helping a homeowner pick sectionals, the remodeler in Chandler opening up a great room to the patio. Every one of those conversations ends at the same place, “now how do we shade it?”, and right now most of those businesses have no good answer. As an AJ Shades dealer, you become the answer: motorized power screens that drop over the patio at the touch of a button, retractable awnings that turn a blazing slab into usable square footage.

Arizona’s housing patterns do the rest of the selling for you. Master-planned communities across the Phoenix metro, master plans with HOAs that favor clean, professionally finished exteriors, are full of homes with covered patios, extended slabs, and outdoor kitchens that were built for exactly these products. Snowbird and retiree communities in places like Mesa, Sun City, and Green Valley bring homeowners who invest in comfort and stay for the winters. And Tucson’s blend of historic neighborhoods and new subdivisions keeps the renovation market moving year-round.

The product line

What Arizona dealers sell

Engineered for desert sun, monsoon wind, and dust, product-only, no installation required.

Motorized Power Screens

The Arizona workhorse. Zip-track screens drop over patios and west-facing glass to cut heat and glare before it enters the home, block insects on summer nights, and stand up to dust season without a second thought.

Open-Roll Retractable Awnings

Shade on demand for patios, decks, and ramadas. Retracts in seconds when a monsoon cell builds over the McDowells, manually, from a phone app, or automatically with a wind sensor.

Explore retractable awnings →

Cassette Retractable Awnings

The premium pick for Arizona’s dust and UV: when retracted, everything seals inside a full cassette housing. A favorite in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the higher-end master plans.

Every retractable awning and motorized power screen in the line carries our 15-year warranty, desert-tested confidence you can put in writing for every Arizona customer.

Territory opportunity

The Arizona market, up close

Where the demand lives, and why it keeps growing.

The Phoenix metropolitan area is the engine: Phoenix proper, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Tempe, Peoria, Surprise, and the fast-growing edges like Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and Maricopa. This is one of the country’s most active new-construction markets, and new homes mean new patios, thousands of blank concrete slabs every year whose owners will spend their first summer realizing they can’t use them after 10 AM. That realization is your sales pipeline.

The resale market is just as strong. The Valley is ringed with established neighborhoods, from Arcadia and Ahwatukee to the master plans of the Southeast Valley, where homeowners are investing in outdoor kitchens, misting systems, and backyard offices. A motorized screen or retractable awning is the natural next purchase in that sequence, and it’s the one that makes all the other investments usable in July.

Tucson brings its own character: a mix of historic adobe neighborhoods, mid-century ranch homes with deep patios, and new subdivisions pushing toward Vail and Marana. Tucson homeowners skew toward long-term ownership and thoughtful renovation, which rewards dealers who can explain the product properly, exactly what our training prepares you to do.

Two Arizona realities shape how you’ll sell. First, HOAs are everywhere in the new-growth corridors, and their architectural committees approve clean, finished shade products while rejecting improvised shade sails and DIY structures. Our products are designed to clear those reviews. Second, energy costs: with AC running most of the year, anything that cuts solar heat gain through west and south glass, like an exterior motorized screen, pays for itself in comfort from the first summer, and homeowners feel the difference immediately.

We’re actively recruiting dealers across Arizona now. If you serve the Phoenix metro, Tucson, or the growth corridors in between, apply today and we’ll talk territory honestly, including where partners are already in place.

Arizona dealer FAQ

Questions Arizona businesses ask us

Do your products actually hold up in 115-degree Arizona summers?
They're engineered for it. Our motorized power screens and retractable awnings are built with UV-stable fabrics and powder-coated hardware designed for relentless desert sun, the same conditions they already survive across inland Southern California. The full-cassette awning is especially popular in Arizona because the sealed housing protects the fabric from dust and sun when retracted.
What about monsoon season and dust storms?
Monsoon winds are exactly why retractable awnings fit Arizona: when a haboob rolls in, the awning retracts, manually, from the app, or automatically with a wind sensor, instead of fighting the storm. Motorized screens stay in place through dust events and keep the patio usable the next morning instead of buried.
I run a pool company / patio furniture store, can I be a dealer?
You're the ideal dealer. Arizona pool builders, patio furniture retailers, outdoor-living showrooms, and remodelers already talk to homeowners about their backyards every day. The dealer program lets you add motorized screens and retractable awnings to that conversation with full training, no installation crew required on your end.
How does pricing work for dealers?
Dealers order from our wholesale catalog at dealer pricing and set their own retail prices for their market. We don't publish dealer pricing on the website, it comes with your approved application, along with the full catalog and ordering process.
Which Arizona markets are you recruiting in?
The Phoenix metro is the priority, Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Tempe, Peoria, and Surprise, along with Tucson, and growth corridors like Queen Creek, Maricopa, and Prescott. Apply and we'll confirm what's open in your territory.
What support do I get after I sign on?
Product training up front, then ongoing access to our team for measuring questions, specification help, and customer warranty service. Every retractable awning and motorized screen carries our 15-year warranty, and warranty support runs through AJ Shades, your customers get factory backing, and you get to sell with confidence.
