It works like this: the Southern California factory manufactures, and you sell. You buy at wholesale, market American-made retractable awnings and motorized power screens as your own Naperville business, and install through your crew or your trusted local contractors, supported by our measuring guidance, training program, and same-day technical support. AJ Shades' own install crews work only in Southern California, San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, so your Illinois market stays yours: dealers sell products nationwide, fulfilled locally, with no factory in your way. The dealer benefits and the Illinois dealer network pages detail what stands behind every Naperville sale.
The product line
What Naperville dealers sell
Two categories, specified at the market's default premium.
Motorized Power Screens
Zip-track screens that drop over patios, porches, pool decks, and west-facing glass, cutting the humid suburban heat and glare before they hit the house and giving the outdoor kitchen evening bug control at a tap. The app control is the detail the smart-home buyer asks about first. Fifteen-year warranty, American-made.
See power screens for dealersFull-Cassette Awnings
The flagship and the Naperville default: the whole system seals inside a housing against storms, winter, and UV when retracted, disappearing into the architecture of the custom home. Premium positioning, premium margin, and the fifteen-year warranty the buyer reads before the design meeting ends.
See cassette awningsOpen-Roll Retractable Awnings
Shade on demand for decks, patios, and pool areas, retracting in seconds by hand, by app, or automatically with a wind sensor when the prairie weather turns. Fifteen years of factory warranty behind the product that fits the mid-county neighborhoods at a closing-friendly position.
Browse the dealer catalogNaperville dealers close with the 15-year factory-serviced warranty on every retractable awning and motorized power screen in the catalog, American-made. Coverage varies by product and component. The dealer catalog covers exactly two categories: retractable awnings and motorized power screens. Patio covers are not in the dealer lineup, which keeps your pitch aligned with what the market specifies: premium, retractable, architecturally clean shade.Browse wholesale pricing and the national dealer network for the full picture.
Territory opportunity
The Naperville market
Affluent buyers, tight referral streets, and the Riverwalk commercial corridor.
The estate-subdivision premium lane The south-side subdivisions and custom-home pockets hold buyers who specify the best once and expect it to last. The full-cassette finished look and the fifteen-year warranty on retractable awnings and motorized power screens close the buyer who has been burned by cheap shade before.
The referral-street multiplier Naperville's neighborhoods are famously tight-knit, and one good install on a street becomes the street pattern. Neighbors face the same west-sun exposures and talk to each other, so the dealer who delivers the first job harvests the block.
The Riverwalk commercial lane Downtown Naperville's dining scene and the Riverwalk hospitality zones need shade performing at a commercial standard. Restaurant groups and property managers buy in multiples, and the commercial ticket sizes run larger than residential by multiples.
The smart-home integration lane The tech-professional buyer asks about Somfy controls, app operation, and wind-sensor automation by name. The dealer who demonstrates the full automation story wins the buyer who is already automating everything else in the house. Apply today for a straight answer on availability in Naperville.
Why partner with AJ Shades
The Naperville edge
Premium buyers, premium tickets, and zero inventory.
1. Independent by design. Zero franchise fees, zero royalties, zero ad funds: you buy wholesale, sell under your Naperville name, and keep the entire margin.
2. Premium is the default, not the stretch. The market expects the finished cassette look and pays the premium ticket without the education cycle. The dealer's best product is also the market's expected product.
3. Referrals compound by street. Tight-knit neighborhoods turn one install into a street pattern. The dealer's marketing cost per job drops with every satisfied buyer on the block.
4. Commercial multiplies the territory. The Riverwalk corridor and the Route 59 commercial buyers purchase in multiples at institutional standards. One commercial lane on top of the residential premium is a territory most markets cannot match.
5. Build-to-order, not stock-to-sell. Every system is manufactured to the job's measurements and shipped to the site, so you carry no warehouse and no stocked SKUs. Training, the dealer portal, and same-day technical support let remodelers, deck builders, and outdoor-living retailers sell motorized shade without adding overhead.

Dealer playbook
The Naperville dealer playbook
The crown suburb: premium tickets, referral streets, and the Riverwalk.
April through June is the sprint, when the estate subdivisions plan the summer outdoor season. Quote in March and install by Memorial Day, the deadline the premium buyer sets. The referral streets do the rest of the year's marketing.
Be visible on the downtown Main Street dining corridors, at the Riverwalk event calendar, and in the Route 59 corporate zones. The landscape designers and outdoor-kitchen builders serving the south-side subdivisions are the standing referral engine.
The street-pattern strategy: Naperville's neighborhoods are tight-knit, and one good install becomes the block's pattern. Ask every satisfied buyer for the neighbor introduction, and compound the territory house by house.
