Colton is pure Inland Empire, a railroad town built around Colton Crossing, one of the busiest rail junctions in the country, sitting at the foot of the Cajon Pass where the 10, the 215, and the Santa Ana winds all converge. From the older downtown bungalows near Riverside Avenue to the newer tracts in north Colton, and past landmarks like Fiesta Village and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, this is a city with deep roots and serious summer heat, the long inland shade season starts early and doesn’t let up.

That heat is why Colton homeowners call us. A retractable awning over the patio turns the hottest side of the house into the livable side, extended for shade over dinner under the integrated LEDs, retracted for open sky when the evening finally cools down. On the classic Colton bungalow with its smaller, sun-blasted back patio, one awning can genuinely double the usable space in summer. And on the newer north-Colton two-stories, it tames the big west-facing sliders that turn great rooms into greenhouses every afternoon.

Wind is the other Colton reality. The Cajon Pass Santa Anas rake this valley, which is exactly why we put automatic wind sensors on our motorized awnings. When gusts push past the safe range, the awning retracts itself. No babysitting, no 2 AM worries, no shredded fabric. It’s the one feature every Colton customer ends up loving most.

For whole-space comfort, the motorized power screen is a Colton workhorse, zip-track Somfy-powered screens that drop over patio openings and California rooms at the touch of a button. They block the glare and heat before it reaches the glass, keep the bugs out, and still let the evening breeze through. On the Route 66 corridor homes with their generous front and side yards, screens are also the cleanest way to add shade without changing the look of the house.

And when you want it permanent, our patio covers give Colton families a true outdoor room, solid insulated roof, ceiling fan, lighting, built for the inland sun and sized from compact bungalow patios to full tract backyards.

We’re the hometown crew for this side of the valley, based in Eastvale, about twenty minutes from Colton, veteran-owned, installing American-made products across San Bernardino County every week. Every retractable awning and motorized screen we install is backed by our 15-year warranty, and financing is available with flexible financing for qualified buyers. Your estimate is free, on site, and in writing, from neighbors, not a call center.

Colton FAQ

Questions Colton homeowners ask us

Do you install awnings and patio covers in Colton?
Yes, Colton is core San Bernardino County territory for us, about twenty minutes from our Eastvale base. We install retractable awnings, motorized screens, and patio covers across Colton, from the older downtown bungalows to the newer north-Colton tracts. Your estimate is free and in writing, on site.
Can retractable awnings be used in heavy winds? The Cajon Pass winds hit Colton hard.
Colton sits right in the Cajon Pass wind path, so we engineer for it. Our awnings should be retracted when sustained winds push past about 25 mph, but you don't have to watch the sky. Every motorized awning we install can carry a wind sensor that retracts it automatically when gusts pick up, or you can retract it from the Somfy app on your phone. Set it and forget it.
Do you offer free in-home estimates in Colton?
Absolutely, and because we're based in nearby Eastvale, scheduling is fast. We come to you, measure the space, show you real fabric and screen options, and leave a clear written quote, free, with no pressure. Text (909) 325-3110 to schedule yours.
What is the lifespan of a retractable awning?
A quality retractable awning that gets routine service typically lasts 10–15 years, the frame decades longer. Ours are built in the USA with marine-grade fabrics and aluminum components, backed by our 15-year warranty on retractable awnings and motorized screens. Annual cleaning and a quick service check is all it takes to get the full life out of one.
Do you service San Bernardino County from your Eastvale base?
Yes. Our shop is right on the county line, and San Bernardino County is one of our primary service areas, Colton, Rialto, Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, and the whole valley. Because our crews are already working this side of the 60/215 every week, we schedule fast and show up on time. See our San Bernardino hub page for the full coverage map.
Do you offer financing for awnings and screens in Colton?
Absolutely. Qualified buyers can finance through Enhancify or Wisetack, with two 0% options on the table: 0% for 24 months financing, and a 0% 21-month intro rate credit card. Terms are set by the lender and subject to credit approval. The sequence matters: free written estimate first, financing decision second, so the numbers are real before you commit. Text (909) 325-3110 for your free estimate and we will walk you through it.
Why don't you list prices online?
Because honest pricing for custom shade cannot fit in a web page table. Your Colton patio's width, projection, fabric choice, motorization, and mounting all move the number, so any range we posted would mislead more than it helped. Instead you get a free written estimate from real on-site measurements: exact, itemized, and obligation-free. Text AJ Shades at (909) 325-3110 or call Richard Gutierrez at (949) 378-6642 (Se habla espanol) to book yours.

“I appreciated that AJ Shades offered financing options. We wanted a better quality awning but didn't want to settle for something cheap just because of the upfront cost. The final product looks great and feels solid.”

“We had shades installed throughout our house, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the initial consultation to the final installation, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The quality of the shades is excellent, they look amazing, and they fit perfectly. The installer was punctual, knowledgeable, and made sure everything was done right. Our home looks so much better, and the shades have made a huge difference in both appearance and comfort. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality window shades and exceptional customer service!”
