West Virginia's terrain gives its homes something special: elevated decks with long mountain views, wraparound porches, and outdoor spaces that are genuinely spectacular, for the few hours a day the sun and bugs allow. West-facing decks take brutal afternoon sun. Evenings bring the mosquitoes. And the classic West Virginia porch, for all its charm, is only comfortable when the conditions cooperate. Retractable awnings put the homeowner in charge of the sun. Motorized power screens put them in charge of the evening, bugs out, breeze and view intact. In a state where the porch is practically a cultural institution, these products don't need much explaining.
AJ Shades is a veteran-owned American manufacturer headquartered in Southern California, building a nationwide network of independent dealers for our Quality Improvement Products line, motorized power screens, open-roll retractable awnings, and full-cassette awnings. Plain terms on the model: AJ Shades' own installation crews serve only Southern California (San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties). As a West Virginia dealer, you sell and install our products in your own market. We supply wholesale, train you on the line, and back every awning and screen with our 15-year factory warranty.
The market is wide open. Premium shade is essentially unrepresented across the state, from Charleston and Huntington to Morgantown and the Eastern Panhandle, which means the first credible dealer in each market sets the standard rather than competing on price. Dealers buy manufacturer-direct at wholesale and keep the retail margin, with no distributor layers. Deck builders, remodelers, and porch specialists already stand in the customer's outdoor space having the conversation; the dealer line turns it into installed-project revenue.
The division of labor is simple and dealer-friendly: AJ Shades manufactures in Southern California and installs only in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Everywhere else, including your market, our dealers sell and install, buying manufacturer-direct at wholesale and keeping the full retail margin.
West Virginia's porch culture is your built-in demand: the homes already have the structures, the families already live on them, and the upgrade from a bare porch to a screened, shaded outdoor room is one of the most satisfying transformations in home improvement. You are not selling a new habit, you are upgrading an old one.
West Virginia dealers, this is your market
Why West Virginia is ready for premium shade
Deck, porch, and outdoor-structure builders
The natural core. Every new deck in the Kanawha Valley or the Eastern Panhandle without shade is an incomplete project, the awning or screen package becomes the highest-margin line item.
Remodelers and general contractors
West Virginia's housing stock is full of porches begging for modernization. Motorized screens retrofit beautifully onto existing porch structures, a whole market most contractors haven't considered.
Home improvement and outdoor retailers
Stores selling grills, furniture, and outdoor living goods talk to the exact buyer daily. The dealer program converts that foot traffic into installed projects.
Charleston-Huntington anchors the southwest, Morgantown and North Central cover the growth corridor, with Parkersburg, Wheeling, and the Eastern Panhandle (Martinsburg, Charles Town) as secondary markets. Apply and we'll talk territory.
