    We bought a motorized awning in 2015. I noticed a few weeks ago that when it’s open it’s completely crooked. I had someone come look at it and found that the pin fell out on one side in the elbow where the arm extends but he was unable to repair it. I called the company where I purchased it and they wanted a small fortune just to knock on my door. Call Sunsetter and they do not have a service department. Come to find that any local awning companies near me, refuse to work on anything Sunsetter because they are a pain in the ** and no one is willing!!! We absolutely love our awning and can’t be without it as the sun in the back of our home is brutal. It’s great for our solar system though!! This may be very expensive to fix! I’ll post an update after Thursday.

    The rep, Bob, showed up on time. He told us everything we needed to know and how we could pay for the awning. He also told us about the installation. He filled us in on everything, left us paperwork, and stayed in contact with us. When the SunSetter was delayed a little bit, he was able to explain to us everything about that. The installation team was excellent. They had asked if they could come at 8:00 and I told them 9:30 would be better. They were here 9:30 on the dot. They were very courteous and cleaned up after themselves. The awning is warrantied for five years and it came perfectly when it turned hot down here. We got the thing that would automatically rewind it if the wind gets too heavy. That's a security thing.

    The sales rep wasn't good but his bosses were great. The installers had to come back to fix one little thing but the installation went well. They had to redo something. The awning makes a little noise when it closes but other than that, it was no big deal. The awning and the quality is nice but the cost is a little high. Still, I'm happy with SunSetter.

    I looked at SunSetter's pricing range and they called me back probably within 15 minutes when I just putting an online request. It was quick. They came out and gave me estimates for free. The rep brought a sample book out with the material and showed us the different samples and the actual colors, so that we knew it was gonna go well with the house color. He gave me the price and he took all these measurements. They were so easy to deal with. I was somewhere when they installed it. I said, "I have a vacation scheduled. But you can go and install it while I'm gone if you want." I got cameras on my back porch. I can see what I want. They installed it the day or so after we left, and they took pictures and emailed them to me. Then we got home, got to use it ourselves, and we haven't had a problem with it at all.

    The awning got stripes. They had a whole different pattern of different colors and different designs that you could have on it. So, we went through his book and we could feel the material. So, we selected what we got based on what we saw in the book. It's wireless, so I got a little remote control. I just control from inside the house but it also gives you a backup rod to reel it out, and if you lost power or you had a motor failure, you can still reel it in and out. We went with a 16 footer. We were thinking about 20 footer, but then there was a lot of weight out there. We live in a manufactured home. So, there was concern there.

    SunSetter did a good job. I also have the type of downspouts that you never have to clean. Water drains through them. So, I don't have to worry about anything coming off my roof on top of it. We were looking at something that goes out far enough, and our awning goes out 10 foot, to also keep the sun coming in those windows as well. That does a good job. Out of caution, we make sure, when we leave, we have it pulled in. The only place they could improve is a bridge for the WiFi because I'm a techie. I'm retired IT and I control my lights and all that stuff, either verbal or on my phone while I'm gone. So, that would be a nice feature for it.

    We like our SunSetter awning and we're happy with it. We haven't used it a lot because the weather is just starting to warm up where we're at. We've opened it and closed it a few times. The wind sensor works because the rep showed me that when he put it on. It goes on the end of one of the arms. If it gets windy and the wind's blowing the awning up and down, it senses it, and then it'll close itself. As far as the SunSetter team, they were very good. They were courteous and friendly, knew about the product and knew what they were doing when they installed it. So, we were very satisfied with the company where we got it from.

    I get good experience with the local folks. They seem to be very responsive when we ask questions, and the installers were good. There were three of them, and they came earlier than we had thought as far as when it was gonna be delivered. They were in and out of there quick. It was simple, and the SunSetter awning is where we wanted it to be and does the job. We get a little wind where we are, so we have a wind sensor and it seems to be operating properly. We're happy with it. The cost is also competitive given the solution that it is and where it's all automated. We don't have to manually bring it in or out, so that's convenient. Generally, we use it every day. We have east exposure to that side of the house, so when it's sunny, we get sun for half the day. It cut down on heat coming into the home now that we're getting into the more like summer months.

    We had a good salesman. He was young and it was his first sale, but he did a great job. When the installers came, they didn't have the right item to hook the awning to the house, so they had to have it ordered. They came back a week later and put it up in an hour and a half. It's been working beautifully ever since. The awning is great. We've been getting a lot of rain so we haven't used it, but it's there when we need it.

    We had an initial problem with the awning that was bending the structure of the RV. The place where the installers put it wasn't sturdy enough to support the awning when it was down. They came back and did a very good job. They sent me pictures too and I didn't have to pay anything extra. I had a good experience overall with SunSetter. Their crew was very polite and respectful. My wife goes out there and sits and reads and drinks her coffee and everything every morning and the awning will help her enjoy that experience more.

    SunSetter's reps came out and installed our awning. Both guys were very professional and did a great job. They installed it sometime in April when my thermometer reading out there was 105.2. So they installed it in that heat. Then, once the awning was up and we had it open, the temperature dropped down to 75 in no time. But I ended up paying an extra $200 to get sides and a front. We have one extra cover and we have two extra fronts that are twice the length of our awning, then another extra front. And we finally got our side and it four weeks before we got the side that we wanted. I was speaking to Tiffany at SunSetter and she was awesome. She always responded to me and followed up greatly. But they were moving their packing place from one state to another, and somehow, the packing labels were all messed up. So the boxes were labeled correctly, but the item in the box was incorrect.

    SunSetter's reps came out, gave us the estimate, and looked at where we were going to put the awning. We went through all the variations of different offerings that they had and we picked one. They were also very cooperative. They gave us a $200 discount, then some greater discounts came out after we ordered the awning, and they applied the discounts to the awning even though we ordered ours already. Then, they said it was going to take four to six weeks to get the equipment and it took about five weeks.

    Three days later, they installed it. The two young men who came out told us exactly what they were going to do, how they were going to apply it and what would secure it to the roof. They showed us the tools they were going to be using and put the awning up in about four hours. Their work was really good. We use the awning almost every day. It's automatic and it takes the temperature down especially here where we are in Florida.

    We went to a Regional Lawn and Garden Show, and there were a couple of different products like that represented. The gentleman they had working in the booth was a lovely gentleman who was in his retirement years, and he said to us that he got a SunSetter Awning for his home and liked it so much, he decided and offered to the owner of this local company, The Awning Team, to work with them. So, he made a really great impression and he made us feel like he was really credible. Plus, he spoke from personal satisfaction and that was a pretty strong testament to say he liked it so much, he thought he would enjoy introducing the product to other people and supporting it in the Charlotte region.

    He had a great style of follow through, was willing to drive a long way to come look at our deck personally, spend time, measure, and walk through the fabric selection in our home. So the custom attention and service were part of why we purchased the SunSetter awning. And then, looking at The Awning Team, specifically, they had good reviews on Google. I did some research in that way, and comparing the SunSetter to other products similar in the Charlotte area that were for sale, they didn't seem to offer the same caliber or product, or they had a pitiful little showroom. So we went with it for those reasons, that it had some cool features that we liked, with the wind sensor and lighting.

    The installation worked great, too. We got our scheduling a little off, so I would have liked to have been there the whole time, but I really only got to welcome the installers and leave. The owner and I were not on the same page as it related to my availability and that getting transferred to the install team. But everything was perfect from the quick overview I was able to get of it before the install was finished. And the guy seemed irritated. He had a little bit of an attitude when he got there, because he didn't realize how far it was and his GPS took him took to the wrong place. He was a little ill, and I was a little ill, but it worked out okay. The install guy was not as nice as the sales guy. But he did the installation well and the awning works fine.

    The awing totally changed the feel of the back of our house. It covers the section outside our bedroom, outside some sliding glass doors, and it gives a different vibe for that space when it's open, with the shadiness. And I can grow different plants in that section of the deck that I couldn't grow before. It also looks beautiful from a distance, looking back at the house when the awning is up. We haven't gotten to use it just yet in the super hot summer, but we've had it installed for a couple months now, and we're very satisfied. They had lots of good choices for the fabric, the frame, and color. We also really like the remote control aspect. And it's a very sturdy and well-built product. They custom-built it based on our requests and it seems like an A+ product.

    We just finished renovating this apartment and it is very sunny on one side, so we knew we had to do something. We googled around and SunSetter seemed like a very reputable company with a guarantee. They have these wind sensors on the awning and it seemed like it was a quality product. I called them to get more information and the woman that I spoke to was extremely friendly, super knowledgeable, and came across as very professional. She explained the ins and outs, what model to get, and how this wind sensor thing functioned and she sent me samples of the fabrics. She was very helpful and made it as easy as it could be. Then, she put me in touch with the local distributor.

    There were two installers who came out and they were very professional. We had our contractor put metal within the wall itself that they were building the exterior wall because we were afraid that the wall would collapse once we attach the awning. The awning installers came before the awning was even delivered to look at the wall and make sure it was gonna be strong enough. They made sure that everything was gonna be okay.

    We purchased a big automatic awning with the Somfy controller. We can put it in and out and we have three of them. We actually bought three of them. All of them have this wind sensor thing on it where they would automatically retract and not fly off the building when it's windy. We're on the 18th floor and we live in New York City. It's pretty densely populated and we don't want anything falling off our terrace, because God knows what kind of damage it would do. All aspects of our experience with SunSetter were very positive.

You want an awning. You're a customer. You don't deserve to wait for me because there are other people out there that you could go with." I understand if people have an emergency that they can't make it, but this guy was right on time. Even the installers, they said they'll be here at 9:00 in the morning, and they were. There wasn't like a window of 9:00 to 12:00, so I didn't have to sit home all day waiting for people to come. That to me is a home run.

    I got a big awning for the shade and it's retractable, motorized and has lights. It's 15-feet long and almost 12-feet wide. My friends were over yesterday and they saw my awning. They said, "Oh, we have to get one," so I gave them the card of the guy that did mine. All in all, my experience with SunSetter Awnings was pretty damn good.

But they still owe me a visit because they have to readjust the awning again. I kept on telling them I need something to block the sun. They were trying to undersell me. It was on a Monday we made the deal. Wednesday morning, I told them I was gonna order the roll-down shade. They called me back and told me my order was on the truck. I asked them to cancel the order but they said they couldn't do that.

    They installed the awning and I saw I needed the roll-down. I called them up and told them I wanted the roll-down. They called me back and told me it was gonna cost more money. They charged me $800 on top of the 4,800 I paid. The initial install was very good. But when they did the roll-down addition, the two people they sent weren't as competent as the first two. That was done over a week ago and I've been calling for a while and telling them it needs an adjustment. I would not I use this dealer again or recommend them.

    Solar Easyshade works good until it doesn't. Purchased from Costco in Dec 2019. Solar Housing/Battery failed in April 2023. Product website states: “Our EasyShade models come standard with a manufacturer's 5-Year Limited Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For Solar-powered models, the solar panel assembly and battery pack are warranted for three (3) years.”

    The rep I spoke with at Sunsetter reported that the solar panel typically lasts 3-5 years with a replacement cost $170.00. Additionally, the panel is extremely difficult to replace as the motor-connector wire attached to it is impossible to tuck in behind the panel, and keep it there when sliding the panel back onto the shade – the wire comes right back out as you slide the panel onto the housing. Poorly designed replacement product and frequent costly repair. Consider other alternatives before buying this shade as the solar option is clearly not practical for the average residential consumer.

    I decided to go with SunSetter because I like the look of the product. My parents had one, my friends have one as well, and we had a good experience with them. The SunSetter team was very good. The sales rep, Brian, came over and he was with me for a little over an hour and he said there was no pressure. I showed them the patio and the dimensions I wanted. He gave some input, and then the patterns, and it was very straightforward and easy to do. One of the challenges was the size because my awning is 13 feet wide, but 15 feet long. So, it's fairly long. It's not the largest by any means, but it's definitely getting towards a larger size. So, I was looking for that and he was like, "Oh, yeah, we can do this and here's why." He worked me on the size. "You don't want to go this far. You want to stop here and here's why. And you want to cover this window, this door and stuff like that."

    The big thing about my awning is it could be automatic and has a wind sensor. I do get a lot of wind. So, I don't have to run, get the crank, and crank it in. If I leave the house for some reason, I don't have to worry about a big gust of wind coming by and ripping it off the side of my house or damaging my house and everything like that. Also, the warranty is nice as well. I love the awning. I use it every Saturday and Sunday and usually once or twice during the week after work. It's been awesome. I would recommend it.

The installers did a great job and I was surprised at how quickly the installation happened. He did a good job training us how to use the awning. We love it.

    We have a back patio that we like to eat on, and it was too hot out there during the Alabama summers, and getting some cover over it makes a lot of difference. I did my research and based on reviews, it appeared that SunSetter was the go-to place, the best available, and reasonably priced, so I went with SunSetter. We got a retractable awning. It's mounted on the back of my house and goes out over a patio that we have. It's tan. As far as the SunSetter Awnings team, they were good. They came when they said they would and they did a good job. They were very nice, and they were ready to answer any questions that I had.

    We moved into a new townhouse, and the back is facing the West so we thought we needed some shade. I went with SunSetter, but I should have looked at other companies before going with them. The installer kind of wrecked the soffit. We're going to wait for them to come back out and fix the issues. They gotta come out, take the awning down, take the gutter off, take off some soffit there, and put it all back together. They gotta come back and put up the awning. It hasn't been a pleasant experience.

    I talked to the owner. He was afraid just to give me an open ticket, and they were going to charge a big fee. The other thing, too, is I signed the ticket so it was $1,000 for installation. During the installation, the guy was here for an hour and a half. I paid $1,000 for an hour and a half, and he wrecked the soffit. Even the owner and my builder said he didn't even have to open the soffit. All he had to do was put the brackets up on the soffit. He opened the soffit to put a piece of wood in there that he didn't even have to do, so I don't understand this installer and he's been with them for 18 years so he's not brand new. The soffits really looked great until he came in with a pry bar and ripped it all open, and used the hammer to put it all back together. They're trying to resolve the issue though. They're not running away from it. They’re well aware of it, and the owner is a very nice guy.

    Originally, we got an awning for our back lanai. Then we had a patio on the front put in. We did another one out there for the rain and it was great. Everything went smooth. SunSetter's pricing is very competitive. All three awnings are motorized and two of them have the wind sensor. A couple of times, we went out and it'd gotten a little windy. When we got home, it was retracted. It's definitely worth it. I had a question about the two previous awnings and called SunSetter's customer service tech department. It was a very simple question - how much do they weigh? We had the house painted and we had to take them down. I wanted to see how much help I needed. But it was like pulling teeth to find out from their customer service how much they weighed. But the rest of the experience was very professional. We got it in a timely manner.

I received an email immediately from a local dealer. I called them asking about installation and was told if I ordered the awning online, they would not support or install the product! But they would be happy to come out and give me a quote if I ordered through them!

    Emailed Customer Service and asked to cancel my order, 3 days later was emailed they found my order, billed my credit card with a pending charge, but provided no customer number or order number. Never received confirmation or return call or email. 10 days after placing the order I finally was able to talk with a helpful customer service rep who sent me confirmation my order was cancelled. Worst customer service experience I've had. Not sure why anyone would buy a product that their local dealers don't support or provide installation.

But they got the box set up, and we were told that it was great. And it didn't take them long to do it. We stood in the yard watching them and they explained with the remote which way to go. And they said they had just put one in for someone else that was smaller and they liked it. The awning matches our siding. It looks nice.

    Today, we had a new experience. We're on top of the mountain and it gets very windy. The awning closes when it's windy, and it has done that a couple of times. But we lost our electric and I thought, "Oh, no, what's it gonna do?" It closed up on its own. I had it halfway open and it closed. After we got our electric back, it opened up by itself again to where I had it set. I wish there was a way to have a side strip put on both sides to help block out the sun. We always get the morning sun. So, it's hard to sit out there to have breakfast because it's sunny. Even if we open our awning up all the way, it comes in from the left side.

    I wanted some shade on the back patio instead of using an umbrella. I went with SunSetter and when I went online, they said to find a dealer near me. I checked the dealer in Longmont. Tom was our guy from TCS Solutions and he brought out fabric samples and pictures and how it would look. It came with a motor. Everything was fine with getting the awning ordered. He told us it would take about six to eight weeks because they make them. That was all fine. When we never heard from him, we contacted him and he said, "Yes, I just did look into it. It is in Denver. The freight company needs to call you and deliver it to your house, then you call me I'll come and install it."

    Another week or so went by and nobody called. I called SunSetter and they looked into it. They said it was in Denver. After another day or so, the freight company called and we arranged for delivery. The awning was delivered two weeks ago. Tom cancelled the first schedule because he had to have a medical procedure done. He started not calling me back. It was all great when Tom was out here selling us everything. But he wouldn't call back and I would call and call. He said we were too anxious. We spent $4,200 on this. We didn't want it sitting in our garage for two weeks.

    We had a little bit of snow on Tuesday but it wasn't very much. I told Tom, "Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are going to be beautiful. I want it up by Easter," He said, "I'll try. I can't control the weather, and I can't control the fact that now I have colon cancer." I asked SunSetter, "Is there another dealer you can put me in touch with?" I talked to a lady and she said, "If you don't get it up this week, we will put you in touch with another dealer." But we still owed Tom money because we paid half down and the other half was due upon completion.

    I started having my husband call Tom because he would always return his phone calls but not mine. Finally, he spoke to my husband and said he could install the awning. We ordered this awning on February 14th and the installation got completed Wednesday. I really don't want to ever have to deal with this dealer again. He said, "If you have any questions, any problems you call me." But I want to try to find someone else if there's any warranty work.

    So far, the awning is good. This patio faces north so when the sun goes down in the evening, we still get the sun coming in on the west side. It goes down past the house across from us and then it's blocked. Tom told us that there is a screen that you can have hanging down from the side. That is another option. I was gonna go to SunSetter's website and see about that. Tom said the screen has to be taken off and put on every time because you can't roll up the awning with that screen on. That's a little tedious so I'm gonna see how it is without the screen. All in all, everything was fine, except for the freight company and the dealer. I asked Tom if there were other people on his team and it was just him and another guy. As far as the product, we're happy with it. It rolls in well and it has a remote. It's got the hood on it too.

    I was fortunate because two days before, the installers said that they were setting up awnings in the snow. But the day that they came out and put up mine was a sunny day. They gave me a telephone call 20 minutes before they were coming on out. It looks like they did a good job and I was very satisfied. I've had the awning for three weeks now and I put it in and out one or two times. The quality seems to be really good. I would recommend SunSetter to a friend who is contemplating putting one in his own home.

    My wife picked out the colors when the rep came over and gave us the estimate. We ordered the awning, and then the installers came few days later when the order showed up. It took them about an hour and a half to put it up. There were about four guys because it's a pretty heavy unit. They showed me how to use it. Then I paid and thanked them, and they went on their way. Sunsetter was very adept with what they were doing, and very quick to respond. They were very pleasant to work with.

    So far, the awning is okay. When it's halfway out, it covers some deck chairs. When it rains, it will collect water in a pocket on one side of it. It literally fills the pocket up to where it gets quite deep and I have to take a broom and push it up for the water to spill out. It's only on one side that collects water like that. The other side drains off just fine. I could call the local company back and see if they could come out and adjust it so that doesn't happen.

    The SunSetter awning is great. The guys did a good job to put it up. They left the cover for the end for the winter and I had installed it myself, which is a pain in the neck to do. With the way it looks, it is really not even worth putting up. I can't believe they don't have something better. I thought it was simpler. I took it out of the package and it was a couple of hours ordeal to put up and I wasn't happy with it. There are these clips that go on to it that you're supposed to tie around it somehow to hold it. There's no way in the world that these clips would hold this cover on it for the winter. It's impossible. Other than that, I like the awning. I tell others to get it.

    The SunSetter rep was great. We knew what we wanted when he came. He answered all our questions and we had no problems. We have the awning up on the roof. We are satisfied with it. We put it out a couple of times to try it and we really like it but we have had horrible weather, so we really hadn't been able to use it. It's gonna be really nice once we’d be able to use it. We're going to use it because we have a bi-level house, and when they built it, they made a mess, and whenever it rained, the water came into the basement. So, we put a patio all the way across on the upper level and fixed it up. We spend a lot of time up there because we're not young anymore and sometimes sick, and it's been very nice for us to sit. We used to have one of these canopies but they only last about a year or two and then it fell apart. So, we decided on the SunSetter.

    Sunsetter has a good selection of awnings. The color choices were very good as well. I was very happy with the selection and the color choices. Also, they weren’t pushy at all. I got a wide, green stripe and then a smaller ivory stripe. Our local guy who lives right up the street was awesome. It was a very easy process, and he got me all the information I needed. Then I had it installed within a couple of weeks. It was very fast. The installers were great guys. It was super cold outside when they did the installation. So they weren't able to completely finish because the cables and the wires were so stiff because they were frozen. They couldn't do anything more with them.

    The awning is installed and it works, but they weren't happy with the way it looks. So they said, “Give us a call in April when it warms up. And we'll come out and we'll clean it all up for you.” It's all connected right, but the cables are showing. So they're going to come back out and clean it up for us. But I like the awning a lot. I've used it a lot lately. We also got the drop-down piece for the front, which is a manual crank. Overall, it was a very good experience.

    These folks over at SunSetter have absolutely no idea what they're doing. They called me several times in a row from someone's cell phone (a 413#) at 6:30pm on a Friday to say there's a problem with my credit card. Well, not giving that info over the phone to some random guy just because he's from SunSetter. I explain that I'll re-place the order tomorrow with a different card, he says ok. I do that. Original order status still says "Call" so, we should be good, right? Nope. They then (as I understand it) process both orders... despite never receiving updated card info for the first order and not that anyone reached out and told me they were going to re-attempt the card charge.

    I call ASAP and am told by a snarky supervisor that he's "looking forward to canceling my orders" and that it will be taken care of the same day. Instead of that happening THEY SHIPPED THE AWNING. I call AGAIN and get told no supervisor is available to speak to me (surprise, surprise) and there's nothing else support can do... I mean, what did they do in the first place? The way I finally got this resolved was by PAYING for executive email addresses and reaching out to them directly. This is not the way to treat customers, SunSetter.

If I wasn't gonna be here that he would accept it for me and have it put in and I would just pay him right then or work out a deal with the check. But the whole thing wasn't fun. I recommend the product, but I would not recommend Sunsetter. The other thing is they have a religious thing on the website. When you call the number, they ask you if you belong to a prayer group.

    I moved here to the Tampa area a year and a half ago. In my old house that I came from in Vero Beach, I bought one of SunSetter 10 years ago back in 2010. I loved it then. I had to leave it there because it was attached to the house. When I moved here, the people who were here before me had left a gazebo. Then in one storm, the whole thing got ripped apart. I took it down and I really needed the shade. I just put it up again. I got a new one. The only thing was it was about $1,800 more than I paid the first time. Things went up, so I had no choice. I bought the one that came out 13 feet so it covers the whole entire patio. It also has a remote control which use to open and close it. You could stop it halfway. It also had lights, which I really like. You can put it dim. It also has a wind sensor. If it gets windy all of a sudden and it bounces a couple of times, it will automatically close.

We decided that it was something we wanted to do. So, we contracted with them. The first time we had two awnings, because the way the deck was made, we had two. They were side by side. We couldn't get one that was big enough to stretch the whole length that we wanted plus one needed to come out further than the other. There were some differences in the way that the deck was designed. And we saw a color that we like. It was a stripe color and it was automatic. We had covers for it for the winter. And it was easy to manipulate.

    We had a little issue with the motor, but that was just wear and tear. We got that straightened out. But it started to get old. And the color with the sun and everything had faded it some. We redid the deck this year. We wanted to update it with a more vibrant color that fit more with the decor that we chose to do this past year. And we decided we did we only wanted a portion of the deck covered because of the changes we made. So, we just got one this last time. Depending on where the sun is and where we are or what we're doing out there, that's when we let the awning out. The sun's hot, but when you put it down, it makes a tremendous difference.

After the installer was done, he visited with us on our deck and he was very friendly and interactive. We liked him.

    SunSetter had attachments so you could add a wall that slides on. We got that. When the sun starts to go down, the sun gets in under the awning. There's no getting around it. So, it's almost like hanging a sheet on one side of it to keep that sun out. But it attaches to the awning so we can put that up if we want to avoid the sun coming in. It seems like a good quality. The times we've used it, it was good.

    I wish I got that sensor that causes it to close up when the wind gets strong because we've noticed if the wind kicks up, the awning can blow. There's a remote that they gave us that we use and we just press the button and it closes it up. But there is a crank that comes with it if you ever have to crank it if there was a problem with the remote.

    The awning has made it more comfortable for me to sit outside on my deck. We were sitting on our deck in the evening, just relaxing, and we didn't have the sun in our eyes. It also helps to keep our house cooler because the sun beats in. It comes through the windows, it heats up the house, and we have to close their blinds, which I don't like to do because it darkens the house. So, this way, my blinds open, keeps some daylight coming in the house without heating it up too much.

    My house faces the west and where the kitchen is, it got hotter than heck when the sun was out. We decided to look at SunSetter. We had this guy out and he said they were from SunSetter. They come put in the awning and charged me. Everything was fine but when I had wind damage from the storm, a guy out of Windsor Heights came out and he said my awning was not a SunSetter. The guy that came initially was fired by him. The guy from Windsor said he won't give me crap and he replaced the whole thing including the railing. He did a good job and I was satisfied. He was fantastic. My awning has a remote control, wind sensor, and lights in it. It's a nice and beautiful awning. The only thing is, I'm not gonna enjoy my awning because I'll be moving next month. But in the home I'm moving into, there's already a SunSetter awning there.

    I like everything SunSetter did. The rep showed me different colors and different styles. He was a very nice man. He was very good at what he did or I probably wouldn't have bought it. I don't do anything with snotty people. He said the price was going to be going up on them so we went ahead and had them do it last fall. He treated us well. The people that came to put it on also treated us well. I like the awning. It's very pretty. Quite a few people have commented on how nice it looked when I had it out. We put it out different times to check it out and it covers my area that I needed to be covered, right out of my deck, in front of my door. It's gonna be perfect for us this summer.

    The way the sun sets, the awning doesn't do the total job. But it's good. The installation guy did a great job. He cleaned up after himself and blew the leaves off the patio. But the salesperson was very rude to me. After I signed the contract, I explained to him that I would be leaving in May and that he had to give me a notice so I could come back to Myrtle Beach for him to install the awning. He called me one day and was wanting to do it two days later. I told him I couldn't be there. I gave him a date that I could come and be there, and he blew up. He ended up hanging up on me. I ended up waiting till the end of the summer.

    It was long before a rep came out here to install the awning. I almost canceled it. But everything worked out just fine and I'm enjoying the awning very much. I have all of the amenities and hookup that if it is out when the storm comes, then it will automatically come back in. It shields me from the early morning sun and it also shields me from the rain because it encompasses all of my porch. I'm very satisfied with it.

    We tried three different-named companies, but the product they all sold was SunSetter, so we called the source. SunSetter sent out a gentleman, and our interactions were very nice. He was pleasant, answered our questions, and gave us the information we wanted. We took some time, then we purchased the awning from him. We got a front panel, side panels and lights. It's a cloth and vinyl combination, and we purchased a motor with the awning as well. The installers went to work, and we’ve used the awning some a couple days in November.

    I have a patio that has southern exposure and lots of sun. I needed shade and SunSetter looked like a good option based on my research. There's a local guy here that sells them out of his home. I went to his home and he showed me his SunSetter awning and let me play with it and convinced me that it was what I wanted and then had me order it. When it came in, he installed the awning and did a good job so I was quite pleased. I used it for a short period of time at the end of the summer and it seemed fine. It works well and it retracts and extends without any difficulty. They put LED lights on it so it has a pleasant atmosphere in the evening with the lights on. SunSetter is pricey but they're a good product and I recommend it.

    We had a SunSetter awning in our prior house in New Jersey and on my rental home down here in Florida. Then, I called them again because I wanted two awnings at our main home here. One over the garage and one over my table under my birdcage. I wanted the one from the garage to go out into the driveway so when the car is outside, it's not under the sun. It's under the the awning which keeps the car cool. The guys from SunSetter came and measured. They came when they said they would, then they got the awnings up.

    But the one over the garage sunk a little bit and I had them come back three months later. The woman I talked to was giving me a hard time because she wanted to charge me $150 for them to come out but I told her that I've only had it for three months. And I didn't even put the awning out much because it was raining and we weren't in the pool. The awning is 19 feet wide and after a while, it sinks because it's heavy when they first put it in. So the guy has to come back and make it tighter. He also said that they're having trouble with a lot of the big awnings sinking. But once he comes and refixes it, it's fine. We shouldn't have to pay $150 for him to come out to do that though. Finally, the woman and I agreed that I would just tip them when they came to change the awning. Other than that, if it's too windy, that awning automatically retracts.

    As for the smaller one, it's12 foot wide and when it's windy, it automatically retracts, too. We have a pool area that's under a birdcage, so it's right over the glass sliding door and it goes out over the six-person table that we have outside. We use the awning all the time during the day and the sun is beating down. We use it when we sit out, read magazines at the table, and eat lunch. It's nice and it keeps the sun off of you. A lot of people would stop and ask about our awnings. They'd say getting them is a great idea and I'd tell them that it's SunSetter's.

    The sales representative from SunSetter was very knowledgeable and he brought samples so we could look at the material. Then, the two gentlemen who installed our awning did a very good job. They took the old one down and put the new one up within a couple of hours. We got a regular awning with a remote and we like it because it's an upgrade to the one we had before. The new awning also covers a larger area and they were able to angle it so it didn't hit my head when it came out. Our old awning was designed for a smaller deck, so when you walked out, the awning was there and you hit your head on the top of it when it came out.

    The sales rep sounded like he knew what was going on and was very helpful. We went in the back patio and talked about a few things. He gave suggestions. We looked at fabric and materials and that was how we decided. We were looking for something that could be rolled out. We have storms every once in a while and high winds and we wanted something that could handle that.

    The installation was quick. It was done very professionally and they looked like they had done this many times. The awning we got has electric motor, a remote, and the hand crank. The fabric seems very heavy-duty. I like the awning because I can also adjust the pitch of it. You can tilt the fabric down or up or straight. You could adjust how low you want it from the end. It's a rough mount. Waiting for the product to get here seemed a little long though. Also, we received a lot of emails from SunSetter, sometimes too many. This was after it was sold to us.

    I have two SunSetter awnings. One is in Colorado, and another is in Phoenix. The one in Colorado was perfect. It was the same person who sold it and installed it. In Phoenix, it was mounted on a beam, which we knew. There was a salesperson and then a different installer, and neither one of them mentioned that the screws that they were gonna put into the beam were a little bit longer than the thickness of the beam. The sales guy probably knew that but maybe he didn't bother to check. The installer came and he put it up. He made eight holes in the beam, so the wood splintered. Then he told me that and then left. We didn't see it until after he left. When we called him to mention it to him, he said, “Well, I showed your husband,” which was an out-and-out lie. He did not show my husband. Then he mentioned that the sales guy should have told us that the screws were longer.

    When I called the sales guy, he said, “Well, the installer should have mentioned it or something.” So, then the installer said he would pay me to have our painter come and kinda repair the spot. He never did. I sent him the $60 to come and repair the spot. There was really nothing. So, I emailed, I texted him and I said, “You said you were gonna pay me. Here’s what he charged.” I had never heard another word from him. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the awning itself.
