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.

Reviews
Your neighbors, in their words
Verbatim reviews from Google and Housecall Pro.
“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!”
