Forsyth County is Winston-Salem: 382,590 residents at the 2020 Census, a Moravian and colonial streetscape that predates the republic, Wake Forest University on its hill, and an Innovation Quarter that has turned downtown into a tech-and-biotech address. For a dealer, that mix is the whole game, heritage architecture that rewards the right product, and a buyer class that automates on instinct.
The historic districts set the rules. Reynolda, Old Salem, Ardmore, and Konnoak carry awning guidelines that favor retractable over permanent, a removable, motorized product that respects the streetscape instead of altering it. The dealer who can speak historic-district language and submit a retractable-only proposal walks into approvals that stall the competition. We train that vocabulary.
Old Salem’s tourist corridor adds a commercial dimension most counties can’t offer: shops, restaurants, and hospitality patios along a heritage streetscape where commercial awnings are part of the visual economy. A Forsyth County dealer sells residential retractables on weekdays and commercial-grade motorized product to the corridor, two revenue lines from one territory.
The buyer at the Innovation Quarter and Wake Forest is the motorized native: Somfy-powered motors and controls, wind-sensor automation, app-driven screens. Piedmont heat plus summer storm season makes the wind-sensor story the county’s universal closer, and no existing dealer program in the county is telling it. Clemmons and Lewisville’s suburbs supply the volume new-build lane behind the premium core.
As an AJ Shades dealer in Forsyth County, you sell American-made retractable awnings and motorized power screens at wholesale, arrange installation with your own crew or trusted local contractors, and own the customer relationship from measure to walkthrough. Dealer portal, measuring and installation training, factory-trained field support, and a 15-year factory warranty on every awning and screen, heritage market, future product, your brand.
The product line
What Forsyth County dealers sell
Heritage-approved retractables and motorized screens for Winston-Salem’s two buyer classes.
Motorized Power Screens
Zip-track screens for the Innovation Quarter buyer and Wake Forest households: motorized drops for west-facing exposures, pollen-season porches, and storm-season peace of mind. Smart-home-native buyers adopt Somfy-powered controls without a learning curve, the fastest-closing product in the county.
See power screens for dealersFull-Cassette Awnings
The historic-district awning: sealed cassette housing with a clean retracted profile that respects Reynolda and Old Salem streetscapes, and the retractable-only compliance that heritage guidelines favor. Premium buyers from Ardmore to the county club corridors buy the profile and keep the 15-year factory warranty.

The Clemmons and Lewisville volume play: genuine on-demand shade for the county’s suburban growth corridors at economics that close fast with young families. Same 15-year factory warranty as the premium line, same wind-sensor story for Piedmont storm season, faster calendar fill.

Territory opportunity
Winston-Salem’s lanes: heritage, campus, and growth
Three buyer classes, one county, and no dealer program recruiting in any of them.
The heritage lane, Reynolda, Old Salem, Ardmore, Konnoak, runs on guidelines that favor retractable product and buyers who protect their streetscape. Full-cassette awnings and motorized screens sell here as the respectful choice, and one approved installation becomes the reference for the whole district.
The campus-and-Quarter lane, Wake Forest and the Innovation Quarter, is the motorized native: tech and biotech professionals who automate first and ask questions later. Power screens and Somfy-powered awnings close here on the demo alone.
The tourist-corridor lane along Old Salem opens the commercial line: shops and restaurants whose patios are part of the heritage visual economy. Commercial-grade motorized product here means repeat business and visible installations that advertise themselves.
The suburban-growth lane, Clemmons, Lewisville, and the county’s newer corridors, delivers the volume: young families, new patios, and HOA review. Apply today for a straight answer on availability in Forsyth County.
Why partner with AJ Shades
The wholesale edge in Forsyth County
A heritage market with a future-buyer class, and no motorized dealer program.
1. The historic-district vocabulary. Retractable-only compliance, streetscape-respecting profiles, submittal language heritage boards accept, we train Forsyth dealers to win the approvals competitors fumble. Guidelines become your moat.
2. Wholesale, never franchise. No franchise fees, no royalties, no buy-in. Buy American-made retractables and power screens at dealer pricing and sell under your own brand from Old Salem to Lewisville. The margin and the customer list stay yours.
3. The wind sensor is the county’s universal closer. Piedmont storm season makes ‘it retracts itself before the wind arrives’ the sentence that ends every durability conversation, from the Innovation Quarter loft to the Clemmons subdivision. It is built into every motorized unit we wholesale.
4. Territory defended in writing. Dealer-by-dealer territory in the agreement, homeowner inquiries referred to the local dealer, no consumer price list, no factory-direct ordering. Your Forsyth County territory is a protected asset.
5. No inventory, full backup. Build-to-order wholesale means no warehouse and no capital trapped in stock. Dealer portal, measuring and installation training, factory-trained field install support, and co-brandable marketing materials, heritage projects and tech-buyer projects alike.
Running a crew-first business around Winston-Salem? The contractor program fits installers who lead with their tools, and many Forsyth County partners run both programs together.
