Georgia might be the best shade market in America that nobody’s organized yet. The outdoor-living season runs March through November - eight-plus months when the patio, the porch, and the pool deck are where the family actually lives. Then the realities arrive: spring pollen that coats everything yellow, summer humidity that makes 95 degrees feel personal, mosquitoes that claim every evening, and afternoon thunderstorms that build out of nowhere from May through September.
Every one of those realities is a product in our line. Motorized power screens turn a pollen-season patio back into usable square footage and give summer evenings back from the bugs. Retractable awnings drop shade over the deck for the brutal stretch and retract - automatically, with wind sensors - when the storm cell rolls in. And motorized screens on the great-room glass cut the glare and heat that Georgia’s long afternoons pour through western windows. No Georgia contractor owns this lane. The pergola guys sell wood. You’d sell the weather answer.
AJ Shades is a veteran-owned, American-made shade company opening dealer territory across Georgia. We’re looking for contractors, deck and patio builders, remodelers, pool companies, and outdoor-living specialists from Atlanta to Savannah - and we’ll arm you with the Quality Improvement Products line, wholesale pricing, training from working installers, and a 15-year warranty on every awning and screen you sell. Apply through the dealer inquiry form and tell us which Georgia market you want to own.
Why partner with AJ Shades
The product line Georgia weather ordered
Pollen, humidity, storms, bugs, and eight months of patio season - this is what the QIP line was built for.
Two selling seasons per customer. Georgia’s calendar hands dealers a sequence no other state offers: sell motorized screens in March and April against pollen and the first bugs, then sell retractable awnings in May and June against the building heat. Same customer list, two campaigns, one product line. We train dealers to run the calendar this way because the dealers who do outsell the ones who pitch everything at once.
Retractable is the storm-season answer. Georgia homeowners have watched fixed shade lose to summer thunderstorms and tropical remnants for years. Our motorized awnings carry wind sensors that retract the awning automatically as gusts build, and full-cassette models seal the fabric inside a protective housing. You’re not promising the product will survive a storm - you’re showing a product smart enough to avoid it. That honesty closes deals in a state that’s seen it all.
Veteran-owned and American-made. From the military communities around Columbus and Warner Robins to the flag-flying suburbs across metro Atlanta, the veteran-owned story opens doors and the American-made Quality Improvement Products line holds them open. Against imported kits and online bargain units, your quote leads with provenance and a 15-year warranty on awnings and screens - a combination the low-price competitor can’t answer.
Training from installers, support for life. Our team installs these systems every week, so your onboarding covers Georgia’s real jobsite conditions: mounting to brick veneer and Hardie, dealing with the deep covered porches that define Southern architecture, spec’ing sensors for storm-exposed sites, and selling screens to the pollen-weary. When you call from a jobsite, you reach an installer who’s solved it before.
Your market stays yours. Our installation crews serve Southern California - not Atlanta, not Savannah, not anywhere in Georgia. The dealer program is product-only from our side: you sell, install, and service your territory while we supply the catalog, dealer pricing, order review, training, and warranty backing. We will never compete with you for the work.
What Georgia dealers sell
The three-product lineup
Built to your customer's measurements. Every awning and screen backed for 15 years.
Motorized Power Screens
The Georgia hero product: zip-track screens for patios, porches, pool enclosures, and garages. Pollen-season usability, summer bug control, and glare relief on western glass - the screen sells itself from March through October.
Explore motorized screens →Full-Cassette Retractable Awnings
The flagship: motorized with wind and sun sensors, sealing into a protective cassette when Georgia weather turns. Premium shade for custom homes, pool decks, and the deep porches Southern architecture is famous for.
Explore retractable awnings →Open-Roll Retractable Awnings
The accessible entry point - ideal for first-time shade buyers, rental portfolios, and the production-built suburbs where families want real relief from the humidity-driven heat without the flagship investment.
Explore retractable awnings →Territory opportunity
Where Georgia dealers win
Metro Atlanta is the volume giant: Atlanta, Marietta, Alpharetta, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Kennesaw, and the endless master-planned suburbs hold millions of homeowners with decks, porches, and pools - and HOAs that make retractable products the easy approval. The northern suburbs skew premium: buyers who’ve owned shade before, know cheap from good, and respond to the 15-year warranty the way it’s meant to be heard.
Don’t sleep on the intown market. The craftsman bungalows of Virginia-Highland, Grant Park, Decatur, and East Atlanta run on deep front porches - and a retractable awning or motorized screen on a historic porch is the rare upgrade that adds comfort without touching the home’s character. Retractable products are inherently preservation-friendly: when retracted, the historic facade is untouched. Dealers who can speak that language get the intown premium.
Coastal Georgia is the long-season play. Savannah, Pooler, Richmond Hill, and the Golden Isles run an outdoor calendar that barely pauses - heat, humidity, and bugs nearly year-round, which means screens sell in months when Atlanta dealers are waiting for spring. The hospitality angle is real here too: Savannah’s restaurant and courtyard culture buys commercial shade as seating capacity, and one courtyard project can anchor a quarter.
Then there’s the pool market hiding inside every suburb. Georgia’s pool density is high, and pool owners are pre-qualified shade buyers - they’ve already invested in outdoor living, they feel the afternoon sun on the deck, and the bugs own their evenings. A dealer who partners with local pool builders gets a referral engine: every new pool is a screen-and-awning conversation waiting to happen.
How the program works
From application to first install
Apply
Tell us about your company on the dealer inquiry form - where in Georgia you work, what you build or install today, and whether you’re chasing residential, commercial, or both. Every application gets a personal review.
Train on the line
Wholesale catalog, dealer pricing, sample kits, and hands-on training from our install team - including the two-season sales calendar, sensor spec’ing for storm-exposed sites, and mounting on brick, Hardie, and deep Southern porches. Most dealers are quoting within weeks.
Sell the Georgia calendar
Screens in pollen season, awnings as the heat builds - your brand, your crews, your customers, with American-made product and a 15-year warranty on every awning and screen behind each quote. Run the calendar and the line sells itself twice a year.
Order built-to-spec and install
Units are built to your exact measurements and reviewed by our team before production. They ship to you, your crew installs, and your customer gets premium American-made shade with a 15-year warranty - while you keep the margin and the referral stream.
