    I researched before I purchased, and I have seen the product. Other places and other people were pleased with the result after they had the SunSetter installed, and that's why I went along with it. And it was more reasonable than some of the other options that I was looking at. Their reps were very knowledgeable and answered questions I had. And they told me more about it than just what the literature says. I was happy with that. The awning's quality seems to be superb.

    We had SunSetter in our other house and they worked well. I even had the standalone. We moved and put a deck on the house. We bought an awning and went with SunSetter again. The SunSetter team took longer than they had said they would. With the pandemic, they kept having excuses. I called the company a couple of times. They had $2,200 of my money and I didn't appreciate being on hold. But they got it done eventually and that's fine. The awning works well. The awnings that we had before were over 25 years old and I can recommend them. They're expensive but you can't have everything. My neighbor up the street needs an awning for her deck. I told her about SunSetter. She's going to get it because she liked ours.

    Everybody did great. When I called, they came out the very same day and measured. They showed me what they had and told me it’d be 4 to 6 weeks. It was 4 and a half weeks when they came. One Saturday night, my son went out to use the awning and was sitting there, and it wound itself back in because of the wind. I'm glad to see that that feature works good. They're not too cheap but they seem to be a good quality product.

    The only issue I've had was I also bought the LED lights and within 2 days, one of those was dangling down. They came back and reattached that. Within about 3 or 4 days after that, another one came down. Before they got back, the other ones came down. They said Sunsetter had changed ways that they attach those LED lights with this doubled-sided tape. Now, my LED lights have zip ties on them to hold them up. If Sunsetter does come up with an improved way of attaching those LED lights, I'd like to be put on a list to have mine looked at or if there's something else they decide to do. The zip ties aren't bothering me but it doesn't seem like a quality fix. But the people here that I worked with in Clear Lake were fantastic. I highly recommend Northland Glass who is who I went through.

    They have a really nice salesperson. She was very helpful and good. She came the same day that I had called. So that was great service. Upfront she told me it would take about two and a half to three weeks to get the awning here and it was a little less than three weeks. They came when they said they would come. The installers were very nice too. It was one, two, three and they were done.

    The quality of the SunSetter Awning is very good. It's quiet. It works and it's very nice. It's a good option. We have a remote, which we use. There is also a crank if we needed it, if the power would be out. It also has a curtain rolled up in it that we can use a crank to bring it down if we want to. It's a nice perk. It was expensive but it was still cheaper than trying to put a roof on our deck.

    They were very nice. When they came with the awning, they got on the ball and got it done. One of them said, "If I were you, I'd go with the one with the push button instead of the one you pull out yourself." I took the man's advice and I'm glad I did. They also instructed me that if the wind starts going hard, to crank the awning in if I had it out because the wind would mess the awning up and tear it. They also told me to not leave it out open at night and always crank it in. I'm well pleased with the awning and I've had a lot of compliments on it.

    We've had the awning for about three weeks at this point. When the remote broke, they came out within two days and the tech had a used remote that he left with me. It at least allows me to use the awning for now but they should deliver a new remote.

    Weather-Armor was SunSetter's local person and they were wonderful. The rep spent time with me, went over the colors, and matching the side of the building. I'm very pleased with what he's done. My only concern was the manual. The instructions on it made it sound like the awning is more delicate than antique Venetian glass. But the awning works wonderfully. It’s not even a month since we had it installed and it has made an enormous difference.

    We called the gentleman, he came over and was very nice, and we ended up buying one, and we like it. The gentleman that came here was very informative. And then, whenever it was ready, there were other gentlemen that came and they put it up, and they were also very nice. My husband had a long conversation with one of them, but they were very personable and pleasant. Everything went smooth. There was a guy who is supposed to come out and hook up an electrical outside. And the guys came to put the awning up before the electrical guy came. It wasn't a big deal, but that was the only thing we had. And he came. He came in four days later, whenever we could set it up that we were here. It was all good.

    We got the motorized and we have lights on it too. It looks good quality. We've had a lot of good comments on it. We're in a new neighborhood, so everybody is getting something to protect their homes, either an extra awning or whatever, and I gave the information to one of the neighbors here. And then, my friend just called me today and she wanted the information. Everybody seems to like it.

    I am enjoying my SunSetter. It’s very nice. The sales rep was very nice and informative. He came out and said, “If you want the smaller one, sometimes people get the smaller one, then wish that they had the larger one.” I have a son-in-law who is 6’7” and he wouldn't fit. So this awning goes out enough where he can stand underneath it. It goes to the end of my patio, which I'm very thankful that they had measured it. Then he had also told me about the additional casing to protect it. Because in the wintertime, we’re all open back there and I needed that just for peace of mind. We're very happy with it.

    The crew that was here did a wonderful job with their work. They cleaned up everything too. We were very pleased and I'm very happy with our awning. We liked the idea that we don't have to have the awning up all the time, the fact that we can use it when we want to, and it's not something permanent. I wish we could use it more though. With the wind, I wasn't aware of that. We thought about possibly getting the wind sensor, but I'm not sure yet what we're gonna do on that. Still, I would recommend SunSetter without a doubt.

The gentleman was very knowledgeable and helpful to us. The salesperson advised us what we needed and we went right along with it because we had decided what we were going to do in advance anyway. A couple showed up and installed the awning, They worked efficiently out here and they were very on the ball as far as the time element getting here. The awning that we got has a screen because it’s an additional shade and it’s on the west side of the house. It's retractable and it's got the cranberry worked into it with the beige. We use the awning for shade, sitting out there and looking out over our fields.

    We put a SunSetter awning up about 27 years ago. It's one of those that I had to pull down manually and it was getting old so I went for the automatic one with the remote. Two young fellas came in right on time. They told me what time they'd be here because they live quite a ways from here. They got right to work and cleaned up after themselves. I'm real satisfied.

    We got an awning three years ago and we wanted another one. They provide so much shade just like they say on TV and it keeps the heat out. It's cooler and you don't have to sit in the sun, eat out in the sun. I love both of them, but there was a mix-up in the color that SunSetter ordered and they blamed it on me. They ordered a new one for me. I have it sitting in my garage and it's the color that matches the original one. But I've called at least four times to let them know that I received the new one and nobody got back with me to replace it. So, I wasn't satisfied with that, but I love the awnings. So now, I have a beige one, and my original one was gray. It's in the box sitting there. They were supposed to come and change it, but they figured it would cost more for them to send two or three men out to change it. So, they never got back with me. And the owner over in Delaware was very upset with me. And then, her husband called me back.

    The first time, I was happy. But this time, they didn't like the idea. She said, "It was your fault. We ordered it from your receipt." I changed the color from beige to gray the first time. She could have sent me a revised sale slip saying that it was gray. So, they ordered the second one from my old receipt, which was the beige. That's what they installed. But then, I said, "Well, because of the inconvenience, can you give me a little break on it?" They slipped out and they didn't want to. And that's fine, but get back with me and say, "We're not going to do anything and we're just going to cancel the gray order." But now, I have three awnings, two are up on my house, one gray, one beige, and one in my garage. The awning is wonderful. It's just that it's a different color. I'll just keep it now. But they're not coming back to cover it.

    They had already ordered the second gray one and they figured, "Well, we'll just lose the money on that," because Kelly started me telling how this is gonna cost her an arm and a leg. And I was like, "Okay, do you really tell a customer that?" I cannot believe that nobody replied to me. And she sent me a text, "Let me know when it comes in. It should be in soon." I texted her on the day it came in, which was the 7th of May, and it took no time to get to me. But they sent me the replacement. So now, it's sitting in a box in my garage and nobody came out. I called them at least three times and sent her a text twice.

    I never had that kind of customer service ever in anything I've done. I've worked in customer service for years in utility. So, I know how it should be. Just call me and say, "Listen, we'll come and change it, but you're not going to get any discount." I was like, "Fine." And because of the mistake, they haven't taken the last $500 that we owed them. So, they said, "You can pay for 500 when we come back and replace it." I'm not sending them a check for 500 because they never responded.

    Also, they should close the communication loop, and do what they have to do. Because she said, "Well, I'll give you $100 off." Then, her husband called and said, "We're not in the business of giving a discount. This is expensive and it's going to cost us. My wife is really upset." And I was like, "Are you telling a customer that? You don't do that in business. And I was in business for 45 years, so please don't act like I'm stupid." He called me back, and that was my last call. But at that point, they were going to replace it.

    I could have gone anywhere. I could have called SunSetter myself or the 800 number or whatever. But I went back to Kelly because we were so satisfied with the first time and we love the awnings. They're beautiful. But this time, I'm disappointed. They came out in a timely manner, and put it up, but I wouldn't deal with them again because they made it very clear they were very dissatisfied with me or they didn't like the idea. I said, "Well, my sister-in-law would like to have an awning also." "Well, we're not doing New Jersey anymore." I was very surprised. I would not recommend them. Product, yes. Not recommend working through Awnings by Kelly.

    We had SunSetter before at a different house. We moved last August and purchased another SunSetter. We worked with the same guy twice. The first time, we had a little problem. The second time, it was perfect. The installation process was the problem the first time. The electrical wires, all the photographs and the brochure didn't show any. Then when they came, all they did was leave them hanging all over the place. They said that’s the way they do it. I had an electrician come do it the correct way and the bill was $250. He paid it, but only after I wrote a letter to him that said I had sent a copy to SunSetter.

    The awning is top quality. But this time, we just had the electrician set up to do the wiring. We had the box already there underneath the soffit. The way they do it, if you have a plug down by the floor, they just run the wire right down the wall and plug it in. That was just ridiculous to have wires showing and hanging all over your deck. So we always have wires put inside the soffit with an electrical box, covered and directly wired, not plugged in. That’s the way it should be done when you have something that costs that much money.

    My good friend has a SunSetter and was very happy with it, so we went with the same fellow who installed it and that brand. The rep was very nice, helpful and reliable. It was done in a timely fashion too. The longest thing was just waiting for the product to come in, but once it was in, he had it up in no time. After we had it installed though, I saw all these ads for SunSetter. They're having all these promotions and you get money off and everything else. I don't think that was available when we got ours. Other than that, the installation went well. We got the one that's fully encased, which was a little more money. It had the 10-year guarantee. It's a striped awning with the wind sensor and it retracted yesterday for the first time when it got a little windy. I also have the little control hanging next to the door. I don't even take the control off. I just push the button and there it goes. I've already recommended it to a friend who has since just had hers installed.

    I got a 20x10 SunSetter Awning. Goes out 10 and it's 20 long. The only thing I gotta worry about is the wind. So, I'm wondering if SunSetter could put a line down from the part that goes all the way out, the steel part, the roller, and put a little hook on that, down to the deck on each end. That would take a lot of wind out of it or stable it. Other than that, I'm impressed by the remote control. Also, we've had the awning out and in a few times, and everything is good so far. I've raised it up to a few because I'm in a trailer park, and a lot of people come by and they wave and look. I've talked it up. I'm a longtime retired guy, and I sit out here on the deck a bit.

    The sales rep did what he needed to do but he was new. He didn't seem to know a lot about everything but enough to sell it. Also, it was a little long to wait for the installation. But both guys did an excellent job. One guy was very knowledgeable and it was the other guy's first day so he learned on the job. The awning is a very good product and we're very happy with it. It works as advertised. We got the optional wind detector so it will automatically come in when the wind blows too hard. I asked, “Can you test it?” They said, “You don't really want to test it because that would be like moving it up and down a lot.” When it started to be a little windy, we realized the wind detector actually works.

    The cheesy part of the SunSetter is the way that they're attaching the LED lights with double-sided tape that literally fell off within three days. For the amount of money that we spent which is $6,000, the tie-wraps look cheesy. They had to come back a week later to tape and tie-wrap the LED lights. They put more tie-wraps on it. They even said, “This is new from SunSetter. It's not the way they used to attach the LED lights.”

    My sister has a SunSetter awning, so she was happy with it. So, I said, “I think I'll get one.” I got it from the same place as she did. She gave me the information. The customer services was very good. They were great when they came here. And they were great when they came to put it up. They took their time. They folded the pages of the booklet that they said I would need the most. And I did go in because I couldn't operate from the remote control. So, I went back to the book. And they knew that we were senior citizens. Because I said, “Listen now. I’m a senior citizen. So, you know, I might not grasp things.” And then they said, “Oh, no. You just call us. That’s the number. If the instructions are not clear, you just call.”

    However, we heard a big thump and we went outside, and the awning was broken. I called the rep to tell him. It wasn’t great how they put it up. But they came out today. It was raining a bit, but they said that if there’s trauma, it will go in by itself. But it never went in. So, it’s faulty. And then, my husband and I couldn't get the awning to shut down. It shut down all right. But it didn’t work. The tech had to roll back the top manually because the arm broke off. I don’t even know how it broke off because it was just raining lightly. And I couldn’t put it back in because the motorized thing didn't work. The gentleman was very nice. The faultiness was the machine itself because I couldn't put it back in. My sister also said it wasn't the same material that she had.

    I just want SunSetter to replace it. We had storms about right after they put the awning up. The awning wasn’t out then, but we had a bad windstorm. That was towards the end of March. I got this on March 25th. So, it might have been a couple of days later. We laughed because I went out there and said, “Oh, I know if I have my thing up, I would have to run out there and close it up.” But we had this bit of rain, and it broke. I thought that the rods were made out of metal of some sort, but it didn't hold up.

    SunSetter came out for an estimate and we also had another company come out. We called SunSetter back and told them we wanted to go with them. It took four days before they got back and said they were gonna get things started. It took a lot longer than I was expecting to get everything going. It took the company a while to get back to us, which was a little disappointing. As a matter of fact, we had given up and said we'll just go buy a gazebo and set it up out on the patio somehow.

    About three weeks later, someone called. We decided we would get an estimate. If it was about the same price as a gazebo then we would do it. If not, we would just go another way. Things ended up working out. Overall, the people that were out were great. They answered all our questions, kept the house clean, and respected the yard and the house. We really like our awning. SunSetter seems to be a good company and I would recommend it.

    I was looking for a replacement awning as the one I had could not be repaired. One vendor that I was dealing with said that SunSetter changed their design a lot since the last time I looked at them. He asked me to give them a look over to see if that would meet my needs. Everything went okay with the vendor I was dealing with. The only problem is the fabric we got from SunSetter. It had several defects in it. The installers noticed it and they contacted their people from SunSetter. They ordered a replacement awning. I'm waiting for them to come back with a new fabric and install it.

    I only used the awning a few times because of the weather. But I'm hoping to use it more as the summer goes along. Based on the times I used the awning, it seems to be doing the job it was intended for and I'm satisfied with that end of it. It was just the initial condition when I got the fabric like if it was a QC problem when it left SunSetter, if it wasn't inspected well enough, or if it was just something that was overlooked. Hopefully, with next set of fabric that gets put in, there won't be any issues with it and I'd be a little more satisfied with that. If there's anything I would change with SunSetter, it would be their fabric warranty. If given the option, I would like to see that extended a little more than what they currently offer.

    The installation of the awning was done very efficiently and it seems to be working correctly. While I like the quality of the product, $6,900 is a lot of money to put into an awning. Also, when we signed for the awning back in March, we were told four to seeks weeks. We got several weeks past that and we called. We were told that the awning is sitting in Chicago on the dock for the trucking company and that SunSetter can't get it from that place to the company in Gary Indiana where we purchased it from. The company had their own truck and they had to get permission from somebody to go get it along with 10 other awnings that were sitting there waiting.

    Nobody called us and told us there was a problem when somebody should have. Last week, I called SunSetter customer service. I was told there was no one above the customer service level with whom I could speak and the best they could do is leave a message for a supervisor to call me. However, no supervisor ever called. The next Monday, I was on the phone again for quite some time and it ended up with the same result. Fortunately, in a little while, someone did call me back. His name was Sean and he's out of the New York customer service office. He was very courteous and apologized and he said, “Do you have an installation date?” I said, “Yes, I do and it was for today.". Sean goes, “Okay. I will mark it down and I will keep track of this. And I will call you back after three o'clock on Friday, the 4th.” He has not called me back but there's still time.

    I purchased a 15-footer awning 15 years ago. I put it up myself. This year, I realized that the awning got pulled out of the house because of the high winds. At the same time, the fabric was discolored. It's been there for a long time. So after SunSetter kept sending me these specials so I can get this amount off, I called up and I told them I needed a new awning, and also, to re-fabric the old one as well. These guys that did the awning did a good job because they removed the siding and reinforced a 2x6 along there and they covered it back up with siding, so it doesn't pull out the wall that is previously done.

    I got a 20-footer. I also got to re-fabric my 18-footer. So almost the back of the house is covered with awning. I only got about 8 feet more left and I'm going to do something else there. They're covered in molding. They put the J molding over the door trim, which is the wrong way. It's supposed to go under the trim. The awning that they had to re-fabric was loose in the middle like the wind could take it up and run with it pretty fast. The guy told me after a while, it would tighten up. I knew that was **. But I allowed him to leave because they had been there for the whole day and I knew they were tired.

    I called SunSetter back the next day, took a picture of the J molding that was over the siding. I also lay a complaint out saying the one that they had to re-fabric, I needed it tightened up because it's loose in the middle. I also told them I needed some extra lights for the 15-foot as well. I called and made this complaint. I gave the receptionist my information. I got a message saying that they're going to try to make it on Wednesday. I was waiting for them to come out but they didn't come here. My only day-off options are Wednesdays and Sundays. They don't come on Sundays. So last two weeks now I've been waiting and nobody has come and nobody has called. I'm dissatisfied because it's a simple thing that can be easily taken care of and they still haven't done that.

    We called in and SunSetter offered to have a sales rep come out to look at everything. He was fine, friendly, and answered our questions. We had a couple special requests and said that they could take care of it. We scheduled to have two awnings installed, and they promised it would be installed before Memorial weekend. We went ahead and agreed to move forward. About a week before Memorial, I realized we hadn't heard back from the installation company, Trim-A-Seal. So, we called them and questioned, then they said, "Oh, yeah, we can get you on the schedule."

    We got on the schedule for the Wednesday before Memorial Day. The crew showed up for the install, but they were late. I juggled my schedule to allow them to be there and met them. The first thing the install guy said was, "Well, I don't have the ladders or scaffolding on my truck to do your installation." I said, "So, what does that mean?" He said that, "Then we'll probably have to reschedule your installation." Realizing it's Wednesday before the weekend, I said, "Before Memorial Day?" He said "I can't make any promises like that." So, I said, "Well, I got availability through my business, ladders and scaffolding. Maybe I could just get one of my guys to bring it out, so you can get it installed."

    I had one of my employees deliver ladders and scaffolding to my home, so they could do their installation. A bit of time went by as they were getting things set up and the install guy then came to me and asked if I had a level. He said he worked on a project at his own home over the night and he forgot to put his level in this truck. Fortunately, I had a level he could borrow for my installation. Also, when the guys installed the light kit on the SunSetter, I questioned it because they were using cables zip ties to hold the lights to the arms. The guy said, "Well, the adhesive strips don't hold. We've had some of the lights fall off, so we now use cable ties to help hold the lights to the arm, so they don't fall off." That's fine, but that to me sounds like a quality issue, and this is their band-aid.

    Since we have the two awnings, I reminded the install guy that the salesman told me that they could program each remote to operate both awnings, so that way my wife could have a remote in the house that looks out on the porch or on the patio. When we have guests over and we're sitting outside, using the garage service door, we could open and close the awning if we're sitting outside (if we want more light, less light or to turn the lights on for the awnings). He instantly said, "Well, I don't think that can be done." I said, "Well, your salesman called someone in your office and said yes, it can be programmed." He said, "Okay." I left for a few hours and came back, and he told me about the programming. He said, "Well, I haven't heard from anybody in my office. I'm afraid to do it because I might screw things up. I'm sorry." I said, "Well, I'm just letting you know I'm not happy."

    I was told the units could be programmed together. That was one of the reasons I chose SunSetter then. This is partially a training opportunity for the company to teach their installers how to program remotes. I went online, figured out how to program the remotes, and ended up programming the remotes myself, so I could run the awnings the way I wanted to. I would have thought an installer that does these all the time would have had a good idea of that. At the same time, whether the salesman didn't communicate to the install crew needing additional scaffolding, it looked like a training opportunity as well.

    When the install guy went to leave, his credit card machine wouldn't process my card. I said, "Anyway, no problem. I'll call the next morning, and we'll get settled up." Because it was late when they got done, the office would have been closed. I tried two times the next day (on Thursday) to call and they had phone problems. I tried multiple times on Friday, calling their multiple phone numbers, and finally got through to someone. Said they were going to put me in contact with a manager because I wanted to share everything I just shared here.

    I got to talk to a manager, shared everything, and said, "Before I authorize this final payment, I would like a bit of consideration on my final balance based on had I not loaned the guys my tools and paid one of my employees to bring tools out and come back and pick up the tools, you guys wouldn't have been near as efficient. And you guys would have had to cancel and reschedule and still not be able to make good on the promise of before Memorial Day. So, I'd like a little bit consideration for the use of my tools." He said, "Well, what are you thinking?" I said, "Well, how about $300? We did two awnings. That's not even 2.5% of my total investment." He said, "Oh, I don't think my boss will approve that. How about we split the difference?" I said, "Well, if that's the best that can be done."

    The manager said, "So, I'll give you a credit of $100," and I said, "Splitting the difference between 300 and zero, in my numbers, is 150 at the least." In the school I grew up with, split the difference is halfway in between. I said, "Fine, you guys issue your $100 credit. Instead of me educating you and sharing with you as a training opportunity, it's what I really want to do. A little bit of consideration here." I was a little frustrated to say the least. He said, "Oh, let me transfer you to one of the gals that can process your payment." I was given one lady's name I was supposed to talk to, but another gal came on by a different name and said, "We processed your payment yesterday with the card that you had on file."

    By then, I was already upset, because I otherwise had a question, "Why did you process my card without my authorization?," but I didn't go there. I was already fuming over the 300 and 100. I said, "Well, am I going to get a credit for the $100 at the very least?" She goes, "Oh, yeah. I'll do another transaction for your credit." I said, "Mail me a receipt." I want to still have a relationship with SunSetter, but I felt a slap in the face. I told the install guy and even my salesman, once our above-ground swimming pool is gone, because the kids are getting older, my wife and I plan on adding one more awning right next to it.

    My fear now is that if I was honest in my review of what happened, then maybe they don't want to take care of me. If I ever have a problem with the SunSetter product, are they still gonna be willing to honor my warranty and guarantee? In a way, I'm thinking, maybe I shouldn't have put a review online for them because essentially, I used up every character I could to share online. Because I wasn't going to had I got a little bit of satisfaction, but I felt that the manager didn't even try. I wasn't asking for $1,000. It's like, "Hey, cover my guy's time, the use of my tools." I like the product, and I hope that if I have any problems, I can still reach out and contact SunSetter or that Trim-A-Seal and get it resolved.

    I had a SunSetter, which I had installed 9 years ago on a condo I owned, and I used it all the time. After I purchased my house on July 31st of last year, I got one again. I have a big deck, so I needed to cover it. So far, everything has been going well. I had a couple of questions, but I called the people who installed it and they took care of it for me right away. There was no issue, but they checked out to make sure that there wasn't. We have used the awning a couple of times already and everything's good.

    I highly recommend SunSetter Awnings. My neighbors have the same awnings and recommended them, and they were right. It was worth every cent. I'm a little concerned about breezes. Sunsetter Awnings said to pull it in if it gets too breezy, so I've been doing that. If I had more cash, I would do more of the house.

    We live in Florida, so there's a lot of sun and a lot of heat and our HOA doesn’t allow roofed enclosures. We didn’t want to get involved in anything permanent, and have to get involved in building a whole room type of thing. We have an RV which has great awnings on it, and we use them a lot. So, we kind of like the concept of the awning. Also, the LED lighting is really important, too. SunSetter advertises a lot. I did look at some on Amazon, but I wanted a full-service place that would put it. I didn't want to get involved in a project or try to install them myself. I didn’t buy the awning direct from SunSetter. I bought it from a SunSetter dealer. I like that they had such a good installation, and had a lot of good referrals, businesses and homeowners that have purchased from them. I just looked a little bit around and then picked out a SunSetter.

    The whole thing was pretty easy. I contacted the dealer, he came out within a week and measured, and we just ordered it. We didn’t have to put any deposit. Then he said it would be installed in about two to three weeks. Two and a half weeks later, he called up and said, “Okay, it's in. We'll come out Monday and install it.” Everything was smooth. I've had a lot of people complimenting it. I’ve already recommended it to several neighbors. They were really good.

    We had one of the nicest awnings. It went all the way out. It was canvas and it had an electronic control where you bring it in. It had a wind sensor on it if the weather is bad. Unfortunately, it was out on the day that the bad storm came through and we didn’t get home in time for it to come in. We replaced the very same thing and got the top brand that SunSetter offers. We contacted SunSetter and they gave us the name of a distributor here that would install a new awning. The gentleman, Jonathan, came out and looked at the one that we had initially. It was not repairable. He gave us an estimate and once we made the deposit, it took three or four weeks to get it. Then as soon as he got it, he called us, said he had it and installed it right away. He’s wonderful. We appreciated it.

    The young man that came and installed it was very kind and accommodating. We're older and in the pandemic going on, he was very conscious of everything. It was a good experience and the product is wonderful. It's with the control and is nicer that it rolls up into its own little protective case when it’s up against the wall. We've enjoyed the awning because we have a lot of family gatherings. We have a huge back porch and it's nice to have it. We have a covered porch and we have it over to the side. When you have it out, it probably brings the temperature down 20 degrees under the covered porch.

    I wanted more shade. SunSetter was the only product I could find support for in Fort Lauderdale. I went on the internet, searched for awnings and came up with three different people. They all sold SunSetter Awnings, and two of them worked for the same company. I got a remote controlled electric awning. The installers came in the morning. I greeted them. We went to where we should go. When they were done, they called me and showed me how everything worked.

    So far, everything is okay. The only thing is the remote control is a nightmare to program on the operator side. It was the only thing that I asked the installers to come back a couple of days later to have it programmed. I tried to set and program it myself. I work in IT. I don’t know why it’s so hard to program that thing. I spent hours on the internet on watching Youtube and trying to follow the steps, but it was a nightmare. In my mind, it should be much easier to program a 3-button remote control that controls two different awnings. But otherwise, once it's programmed, it works very nicely. I can even use it from my phone. So once set up, it seems to be working good

    I bought the house with the SunSetter awning on it a couple of years ago and we really liked it. But it was ripped off the house in a windstorm so we went with SunSetter again. But I was very dissatisfied with the experience this time. Their installer put the wrong screws in. They were 1 1/2" screws which were supposed to be 5" screws. We had another windstorm and it took the awning and ripped it out of the cement and was hanging on my house for two weeks. After calling them several times to come and get this half-hanging awning off my house, they finally came and did it. We had to upgrade to an awning that retracts in and they charged us a 600 and some dollar restocking fee on the piece of crap that ripped out of the cement. So I was not happy with them at all and I'd never use them again. I would never suggest using them.

The first day, when we called, he had somebody in the area so he had a couple of guys stop by, look at our deck, take some measurements and give us some initial information. We followed up and went to visit at the shop and saw some actual samples. They were extremely helpful.

    They did not try to upsell also. There were a couple things that we looked at and they were saying, “Realistically this isn't going to do that much for you.” So I felt like they really looked at what our needs were, what we were looking for, and did not try to run the price up just to be doing that. We got the awning late in the year so we've only used it a couple times because winter showed up. One of the reasons we got it is on our deck, we do get a lot of leaf fall and a lot of pollen.

    We needed an awning for our back deck. It needed to be covered. We wanted to screen it in but it was a little bit too expensive. I've heard about SunSetter for years, and I had to call them. The representative that came out first, measured everything and told us what we would need. The only thing I didn’t like is nothing was listed as far as prices. It was just sitting off the top of his head, and I wasn’t like that. I like to have everything listed. Other than that, we like the unit and it does what it says that it’ll do because we've got a lot of fun on our back deck.

    The installation was wonderful. The rep that came out had told us that we needed to mount it on our roof. When they got here to install, they said it didn't need to go on the roof, and that saved us $300. I would recommend SunSetter Awnings, but I would also recommend that they give a list of everything. In the catalog, the rep has a list, to me, it’s kinda confusing when you don't know one material from the mix.

We decided on a smaller awning so that it would fit in the space where we needed a bit of clearance of their product to extend.

    I had to call to find out when our awning would be delivered. Then, the seller called me back and said, "Oh, yeah, we'll deliver it next week," which was last week. And then, the seller showed up earlier than I expected them, so it was not as convenient. I didn't mind them coming early. But then, they couldn't install it because they said there wasn't enough framing in the area where they had to install it. They have to come back and do some framing so that they can install it some other time.

    The fella who sold me the awning should have known that. He should have checked that before the installers got there because it was an aggravation to them. They didn't say that and they were very nice. They knew their stuff and didn't want to put it in wrong. I spoke to the guy who sold it to us yesterday after the installer left and he said that one of the installers is a construction guy and that he can open up the sheathing and put the framing in so that we have studs for the awning to attach to. If I had realized this was going to happen, the guy who built our deck would have done that.

    SunSetter is doing their best to remedy things but I'm kind of unhappy with their preparation. The seller didn't prepare his installers. They didn't inconvenience us and my world isn't coming to an end because they have to come back. This is mostly irritation on my part. When I was working, I was expected to do the job right. If I didn't do it right, people suffered. The installers are trying to meet that standard.

    The salesman was great. He was very thorough and professional. We got one of the power ones that go out. It has the remote shut-off. We had it mounted on the roof. The house is gray, so we picked something that would go with the gray and the maroon shadows. We had planned on the installer doing it when we weren't here. So we were in Aruba when he did the installation. He contacted us immediately once he knew we were going to be back. Then when we came back, he came back and went over all the functions of it. We recommend SunSetter highly. It's definitely a high quality. You can buy cheaper ones and you get what you pay for.

    They were the nicest and I was more comfortable with them. The only thing I was upset about was it took forever to get the awning because they were out of stock. They were trying to come over here and put up another awning and then leave it up and take it down when mine came in. But I didn't want to bother them with all that nonsense. So I just waited. But it was well worth the wait. I'm very satisfied with it. It's absolutely beautiful. The rep answered all my calls and he tried to make me happy until mine came in.

When the guy showed up, he went around the back of the house and he got his mask on and he said we could talk out there. He was very polite about it and we got a lot done quickly. The awning covers my deck and if wind blows, it rolls itself back in. I also have the remote control. I have homeowners association, so I have to keep with certain colors. The front porch has an awning over it that is black, so it had to go with that. So I got a stripe with black charcoal and a light tan. I'm very happy with it and it changes my deck.

We talked about different options and he knew his product. He was very professional. The installation took about three hours. A couple of guys did it and they did a nice clean job. They cleaned up after themselves and showed us how to work the awning. The one we got has a remote and it automatically retracts. You should really look at SunSetter if you need an awning.

    We recently bought the house we're living in, and there was already an awning here. We wanted to add another one next to it. We went with SunSetter because it was the same company. They referred me to a local guy that came out and measured everything. This guy was from the local company, Bast Awning. He was okay. But then SunSetter kept sending me coupons for $200 off and a free cover and he didn't wanna honor any of that. It was after we wrote up the contract. He had given me a discount. But then I said, "Can I get the free cover that they're offering?" He declined. That was the only thing that I wasn't happy with. I kinda wish that I had gone directly through SunSetter and maybe I would have gotten a better price.

    My deck is on the third level. There was nothing else there but a big large umbrella and I've been through three umbrellas with the winds that kick up here. The SunSetter looks like a good product. I've seen it for years. Steve, who put it in my deck, had done my patio for me in the big house I had. He did a phenomenal job out there. He was so easy to work with and I could've been more happy with the price.

    Having it put in as late as we did, I've only got to use it twice but it's good. Because of the angle of my roof, I can see too much bracket so my only complaint would be how it looks like from the sidewalk. It doesn't have a big white box covering it. There are a couple of cords they promised to come back for. They're kind of loose so they're hanging between the whole thing and the roof. You can kind of see loose chords underneath. The whole street can see it. But they stayed so late and worked so hard. They said "We'll come on a warmer day and we'll fix them." Other than that, it's an A+. It functions great. It looks phenomenal when it's open and the lights are on. We both love it.

    We've owned a SunSetter before. We had them installed when we lived in Hawaii. We just moved here about a year and a half ago. So, we had an experience with the product. They've got a lot of advertisements on TV and they also get some things via email or through the web. It was a combination of all those things that said that was what we need to do.

    There was a broad array of options on the brochure that was provided. When we went online, there was a lot of data, a lot of pictures, a lot of things, so we could see what it would look like. The other nice thing about it is that there's an app that allows you to take a picture of your house or where you think you want it and then Photoshop or insert what it would look like if it was there. So, that was good. That sort of takes some of the guesswork out of it. The only roadblock that we ran into, which had nothing to do with SunSetter or the rep, was we had to get the homeowners association to agree that this was okay. They initially pushed back on us, saying we couldn't have a scalloped versus a straight-lined edge and some other administrivia.

    We then proceeded to walk around the neighborhood and took pictures of places where it existed. We sent them back and said, "Hey, you got a problem here if you're gonna deny us this because it's already here. So, now you got 20 or so other properties now you have to go back and retroactively fix." They folded, and everything was fine. So, we proceeded.

    We have a western exposure, so that if we wanted to dine outside or sit outside and watch TV where I have it installed in the afternoon, it made it not possible to not have it glaring in your face. So, we either had to wait till the sun went down to eat at our dining room table outside or not eat there at all. What our Sunsetter allowed us to do was do both of those things and give us another 12 feet of shade that shielded the living area from that afternoon sun. So, that was a good thing.

    I definitely will recommend SunSetter to others. In fact, I already have, and I have a neighbor that came up to look at them and they said they wanna do the same thing. So, we absolutely would do that. Shane was great. He was a great representative and was very responsive. The only thing that they could do better with the product itself is the extension cord that plugs into the outlet. They got only two choices, a 12 or an 18-foot extension cord. The outlet's right next to the awnings, so they had to roll them up and sort of tuck them in behind in order to hide them in behind the awning hardware.

    I told to Shane, "I don't understand why you don't have like a 1 or 2-foot extension cord. Isn't that an option or can't you modify it?" He said, "No. We only got the 12 or the 18-foot or the 20-foot. And we'll just have to sort of loop it up, and we'll try to make it so you don't see it." He tried as best as he could. We can see it. It's bulky, but it's not a showstopper.

    Another thing is we have considerable amount of wind here where we are located, occasionally, and the fringe along the little part that hangs down has frayed because it's been whipped by the wind over the last three months. I know that eventually that can be replaced, but the material itself did fray a little bit due to being whipped around by the wind. It's really not a big deal because it looks fine. If we wanted, they could replace it, but then we'd have to spend again.

We weren’t satisfied with what the representative was telling us and I told her about what I saw in the American Legion magazine. She called SunSetter and got a free disk. She reviewed it and showed it to me. She called the representative from Jacksonville, North Carolina. He came down and showed us what he had and we both at the same time decided to install them. He was a little on the pushy side. He said, “You have to get it by end of the month because the prices are going up. I’ll get the credit card.” All he was interested in was swiping that credit card then he was out the door.

    The installers who were 2 young gentlemen came in and what they did with mine was great. They asked me how I wanted it set up. I couldn't ask for anything better from them. However, my neighbor and I had two different experiences. Mine was no problem with the installation and no problem with any of the product at all. I was 100% satisfied with what it was. The product itself works fine. She is like zero. She's still trying to get back in touch with them. Between the both of us, it had to be $8,000 that was paid.

    I bought and had installed a motorized awning last Nov. Ten months later I still can’t use it. When the installation was completed it was fine. In March (before COVID) we had a beautiful day and I tried to use it. It was warped. I contacted customer service and was told it was a maintenance issue and with a helper I could fix it myself and to refer to the manual. This response was very dissatisfying but although I tried they kept to that response. So what choice did I have; I reviewed manual (not helpful) and the video (a bit better). Up on the ladder it didn’t look right and I couldn’t figure it out. I felt stuck and didn’t know what to do. I did know I was disappointed with SunSetter - actually pretty angry. Then COVID hit and there were other things to worry about.

    Last month I decided to get help. I’d paid a LOT of money, never been able to use it and SunSetter was not going to help. So my help arrives and I was right. The screws that were supposed to be there to adjust the pitch were missing on both sides. I called SunSetter again. (BTW don’t leave your number. Stay on hold a long time because they will not call you back.) They said they would send units that hold the screws for each side. Eventually I got a package with only one unit. I called again and they said it was on backorder and they have no way of knowing when it would be available; set up and check my account for availability. Again a dissatisfying response.

    Now I have to wait until the other unit arrives. Then I have to hire someone to replace the units. The warranty is useless. After spending all that money they accept no responsibility. By the time the other part arrives I wonder if they will even honor the warranty. If I have to pay for it the cost is going to be high because the unit weighs more than 8 lbs (a gallon of milk) and shipping will be expensive. Not only is the warranty worthless, once they get money for their product their response to customers is dead. Please do yourself a favor and buy from anyone else and stay away from SunSetter. Now I’m going to file a complaint with Better Business Bureau. Wish I’d thought of checking them out before I purchased.

    I had 2 awnings installed in 2019 and spent ten thousand dollars. From the get go, there have been issues preventing my ability to use the awnings since 2019. I have made and documented 100 attempts to contact customer service and still today, a year and a half after installation, I am still unable to use the product. Be careful! This company (and I live in a very populated area) uses local vendors and there is zero follow up for their workmanship. Not to mention it is difficult to reach anyone in customer service. It is a lot of money to pay for a faulty product. I do not even want to give a one star rating.

    We had positive and negative experiences in our recent purchase of the SunSetter Awning. On the positive side, the installers (KZ carpenting) were efficient, fast and clean. The whole job took less than three hours. They pointed out that the delivery company ABF, left out a small piece of the awning and KZ would reorder the missing piece which they did. This piece was delivered recently. The negative side, I was not told by the sales/company or the delivers that the delivery was CURBSIDE, and I was expected to remove two large cylinders from the truck which weighed about 175 pounds. The driver noticing my age (I'm a senior) and I'm sure this is not the first time he's experienced this unloading situation did the job himself. He had to use a lift and a cart to do this. He refused a tip but I gave him a generous one anyway.

    When I complained to the dealer, about the curbside delivery they said they would contact the delivery company but they did NOT. Finally, as you may know if you want to enjoy your awning all summer, order by early May. I put my order in early June and was told that the awning would arrive in three to five weeks and it took almost six weeks. Of course, the price is NOT $599. Unless you want an awning the size of a postage stamp and hand-cranked. Also, the installation price is $475. My awning all toll cost $3,335.

    I have owned a new SunSetter awning for 2 weeks and the motor that drives the automatic opener has died, so they told me. OK, so stuff happens. But they are making me buy a new one at $53 and I can return the one I have now for a credit. What a hassle. I have to pay someone to install it as I know nothing of motor installations. They should send one of their dealers. Great service.

    I ordered an awning 5/28/2020 after being told it would take 4 weeks to get with their factory coming back online. I was then told at the beginning of August (after calling multiple times) that it was just completed and ready to ship. Two weeks later I received a note from the distributor that the fabric was delayed and there is no timing on completion. I called Sunsetter on August 16th and was told it was just completed and ready to ship! After telling them what the distributor said they put me on hold and confirmed it was delayed due to fabric with no timing. I cancelled the order and was told to reach out to the distributor for my money back. The distributor (A1 Seamless) told me they needed to charge a 25% cancellation fee! This has been the worst experience customer experience I have ever went through.

    I have owned the 1000XT for two years. Know I have to order my 3rd lift handle. There should be a simple manufacturing fix for the problem. The pin on the dog latch slips out of the side hole, making it useless. I'm very frustrated as communication with a person at this time is impossible. I owned a previous model they no longer make for over ten years and had no problems. The problem now needs to be addressed, but can't seem to get any one to hear me. I send emails and just get a computer response with a prefixed msg.

    We ordered and paid for our Sunsetter awning in May 2020 and was told it would be delivered and installed by the end of June 2020. It is now August 7th, still no awning. Even worse, zero communication from the company. I have contacted Sunsetter and they can't provide me with any information or update on our order. Even our sales rep can't get any useful information from Sunsetter. We wanted it installed before summer really got under way and now it's more than half over. Horrible company and makes no effort to communicate to its customers, nor does it seem to care. I would never recommend them.

    This is a terrible company. Upon receiving a big packet of marketing material in the mail, advertising great promotions from Sunsetter, I called them. They informed me they contract with a rep in my area, Brian **, with Moreshades4less and told me to call him to purchase and perform the work. Brian had no problem calling me back right away and scheduling an appointment for a sale. On June 2, after a consultation at my house, the company charged my card for a new fabric cover, LED Lighted awning bars, and a new motor. It has been almost two months (about 1 month and three weeks) and with summer almost over, I still do not have my awning. I have repeatedly texted the rep at MooreShades4less and called Sunsetter over the past month to get an update on my order. The hold time for Sunsetter for the phones is about two hours.

    If you put yourself into the cue, then they call you back which, somehow, mysteriously always manages to go straight to your voicemail without a ring. They leave a voice message that says, "We tried to call you, please call us back." If you send them an email, you receive one back that says, "We know you are anxious to receive your awning and we are working hard with production and have been slowed down with COVID." I got in touch with someone today and I asked to speak with a supervisor. The phone rep told me there was no way of contacting a supervisor from her floor position and that she would have to leave a message and they would call me back. I told her they had until 3 PM to call me or the order would be canceled. It is 3.30 PM and surprise, no one has called me back.

    I also asked for the supervisor of the company they contract with - Moreshades4 less and no one there will return my phone calls either. I initially got in touch with the Moreshades4less rep about all the problems. After an extensive text thread where he even came to my house, he claimed he did not know who I was. As one of his clients, he did not bother to program in my number and record my name. He also told me he had no way of tracking down my fabric. Basically he is being paid to be the middle man and said he had no way of getting information from Sunsetter as to where my fabric was. What's more is Sunsetter is advertising extensive promotions. Yet, their phone voice messages state, they are having trouble keeping up with the demand due to COVID.

    Well, I ask myself, then why are you pounding customers with promotional advertisements you can't keep up with and charging peoples' cards two months in advance of orders that are still not here? Furthermore, they are advertising several specials that they don't honor. I received glossy brochures advertising a free color changing mug and an awning cover. My rep did not know anything about this. He said he would check with the district manager and get back to me. He never did. Also, they have other ads enticing you in - "Save $500 when you upgrade to a new motorized awning". I was told that was for a new awning. Meanwhile, I purchased a new motor, new awning cover, and new lighted awning bars - so what qualifies as a new awning???

    I asked the Sunsetter reps about the promotion. She also feigned that she had no idea what I was talking about and asked me to email her picture of the offers, promising someone would get back to me. More of my time was wasted, emailing these pictures. No one ever got back to me. I finally canceled my order today after no one could tell me where it was and every phone call attempt was two hours. I have wasted so much time with this company. The whole summer has gone by and still no awning. I can only imagine if something went wrong, what it would be like to discuss a warranty issue. I will see if they refund my money as requested. If not, I will have to get in touch with my credit card company.

    In June I ordered a Side Lateral Arm and I received it around 6/25/20. The material is so thick when hund on the awning it really got sticky under it and I decided to return it. On 6/30/20 I sent it back via USPS with Tracking number. Sunsetter received it on 7/3/20. As of today 7/24/20 3 weeks later I still have not received a credit. I called Sunsetter twice and emailed them once. It looks like I have to have the Consumer Protection agency involved to get my Money back. Sunsetter has a 90 days Money back guarantee. Well all I can say "Good luck getting it".
