    The team that did the installation was wonderful. They arrived on time, and were in and were out. They got their work done and did a clean job. I was very happy. Everything works perfectly, and still does at the moment. However, the follow-up has not been as good. We were told that when the installation was done, we could slightly extend the awning a little further out over the deck, and we had wanted to do that. We've been trying to reach out to SunSetter Awnings, and left a few messages, but it never happened. Other than that, I'm been very happy with the product, the installation, and the service thus far. I would recommend SunSetter.

    A relative had a SunSetter already installed, and I liked the appearance and usability of it. I wanted to install one myself and I went with SunSetter as well. They were good to work with, and it was very easy to maneuver through the website and make my selections. It was very quick once I ordered it, and delivery was good, too. I got a motorized awning and it's attached to the house. We self-installed it and it took us about three hours. The awning is over our deck, so when we're outside and need a shady spot, we'll put it out unless it's too windy. Then it has automatic sensor and goes back in. I would recommend a SunSetter awning. It's very easy to use and a good alternative to umbrellas or other shade characteristic items. But depending on where you are at, if it's too windy, you can't use it. Other than that, I'm very satisfied.

    SunSetter Awnings were okay. I had a little issue with their service person, but things worked out. The day of delivery, he didn't do the installation when he was supposed to do it. He told me they haven't sent it yet, but then I found out it was there all the time. I should have had it way before I had gotten it. Then, some of his delivery wasn't pleasant, but I like the product. It functioned well. I didn't get to use it a lot because, some days, it was so windy and the guy kept on telling me not to use it if it gets windy. So, I was trying to be a little cautious with it.

    The guy did have the different patterns and different colors, and we went through each one. He told me what materials were and different things. I had to understand and see what was gonna be best for my dollar. With the problem I'm having now, I was telling him I wanted a cover for the awning. He said, "You don't need a cover for this." Anything that's material will wear and tear and because we have high heat in the summertime and then we have a lot of rain, it's gonna wear and tear and I need to try and protect it. That wasn't a cheap job.

    We had updated our deck the year prior and thought an awning would be a nice addition. I knew the SunSetter Awnings name and sought them. The sales and installation experiences were very positive. It all went smoothly and quickly. They got us on the schedule right away. We have the motorized, attached awning. It's 20 x 12 and a creamy white with some light gray and black striping.

    The awning was costly, but it is a large canvas. We use it during nice weather, not when it's very windy or snowy. We put it over to shade the deck from the sun and cool the inside of the house because we have some large windows on that back side. It's a very nice product and we're happy with it. I would recommend SunSetter and give people information. I've referred the guy that sold us ours.

    I live in a HOA and the HOA boss said that we were getting a SunSetter awning. So, that was what we got. The installation was fast and impressive, because it was heavy. So far, we haven't really used the awning and I wish we used it more. Whenever someone comes over, they'd go "Ooh, aah”, and then that's all. It's just a showpiece.

    I put a new deck on, and it was on the south side of the house, where the sun is most in the evenings. SunSetter was the best and I decided to get an awning from them. The reps were very nice when we called and had some questions about a couple of things. The awning was delivered in a truck and they put it where I wanted it. Then, I had my handyman put it up for me. The awning is expensive, but it’s awesome. The only thing is, we have a lot of wind here and I'm not quite sure how much wind it can take. It said 50 but I don't believe that. I like the SunSetter awning but I don’t get to use it too much.

    The SunSetter rep I worked with was very good and nice. The installation was good. They were quick. They were there when they said they would be. However, I had some siding that had come loose since they installed it. It's the piece right underneath where they installed the awning. I had a side panel put in afterwards. But it was not worth the money I paid for it. I could have hung a blanket up, and it would’ve done just as well. I was not satisfied with the side panel to block the sun. The installer said, “Yeah. We can get that done." I said, “Okay.” He said, “If you buy it now, it's this price.” It was $360, and it was not worth the $360. It just hangs on the side of it. I was very disappointed with that. The awning itself, I love. But the side panel is very lacking. I would not recommend that to anyone.

    Our back deck gets a lot of sunshine and it's too hot to sit outside during the daytime. We've been debating getting an awning for about 10 years and we finally decided to bite the bullet and get one. We wanted it to match our house and everything we have out on our deck, so we got an awning with a brown-and-black stripe. We got a wind retractor and LED lighting.

    Installation was great. The SunSetter guys were very friendly and informative. They really knew what they were doing and they cleaned up after themselves. I couldn't even tell they were here. The awning is wonderful. I like the remote because we don't have to be out there to crank the awning. However, the wind retractor could be a little more sensitive, because if we have it set too low, it doesn't go in. If we have it set too high, then it takes it in too soon.

    We were looking to better cover our back patio. So, we were looking at different options, whether that was an awning or roofing the whole thing. We just came down to the realization that the retractable awning would be the best bet. We had the SunSetter awning installed by a more local group out of Lincoln. When they came down here, they reviewed everything and we got the motorized attached awning. The installation was pretty easy. They were good to work with. They installed it in about half a day, which was great. But then we've had some issues since that have still not been resolved.

    About after a week, the awning started pulling away from the house. They didn't get it tied down to the house very well. The first issue, where it was pulling away from the house, they came down, resolved that. Everything is good. The second issue is in the middle of the awning, on one of the seams, there's an arm or some kind of stabilizer that they have on there that has made about a 2-foot rip in the awning. It's usable, but there's a big dip in the middle of it, and it lets the light and everything through. They keep saying that they're going to call and order a replacement and come down and install it, but it hasn't happened. After about 10 phone calls and emails, I still have not had a resolve from this company. I had it installed in June of ’25 and the last communication I had with them was in October. I figured nothing's going to happen during the winter. So, I was going to reach back out to them here as spring came across.

    My sister-in-law owned a SunSetter awning and she was happy with it. She suggested that we look into it. From the reviews that we saw on the webpage, it looked like it was a good investment. We got an 18-feet awning and the installation was good. Since it’s so big, it's advisable to have two people putting it up when you need it, since it's mechanical. We were fine the first few times, but it malfunctioned and we had to order a piece to replace it. SunSetter covered it under warranty and it was quick. Pricewise, the value is worth it.

    We purchased an awning to get in some shade on our deck. We got the motorized one. Installation was good. My only fault with it is it ain't worth a crap in the rain. It fills up with water, and it holds so much water that it will probably tear it off the wall. Being out there and being able to enjoy our deck in a shower or rain ain't gonna happen. So, SunSetter needs to improve that part of it.

    We had a big oak tree that used to cover most of the porch at our lake house, but we had that taken down ‘cause it got really weak. When we got tired of the sun shining, we got an awning. Sunsetter was the company I saw being used most often, and they have a good reputation. When I reached out, the guy that owned the franchise came and I didn't have any problems. Everybody was knowledgeable and got us hooked up with what we needed and the awning was a blessing. It's worth the investment and there's a good warranty with it, too. That's nice. Sunsetter is not the cheapest out there, but I do quality over quantity.

    I'm super happy. It's been a year since I got the motorized awning and I'm grateful to have it. We can run it in and out and it's nice that evening time, we can use the bar to wind down that other piece to block off the intense sun. It's at the end of the awning. As the awning hangs out, where the little scallop piece that hangs, there's a little crank that we can put in and crank down another screen to add an extra layer of shade. That's good. I would recommend Sunsetter to a friend. We're considering one for our home patio too.

    I bought a house two years going on November and on the backside of it, we have a concrete slab outdoor thing. I wanted to put an awning over the top of it, so I had the SunSetter guy come out. Looking into the background of different companies, SunSetter had the best one, so I went with them. He did all the measurements and he was an awesome dude. He was very friendly and very nice. We waited for a couple of months for the awning to come and we were really excited.

    When the guys got here with it, they couldn't put it on because my house is concrete and the roof is made of steel trusses. So, they had nothing to attach it to. They asked if the gentleman who first came out went up and look in our attic and I told him no. When they checked it, they said that since my roof is not made of wood, they couldn't drill through it. The installers then suggested that they could attach it to your garage but my concrete slab’s not over there. It's over at the back. So, I said I didn't want it attached to the garage.

    It was kind of a very disappointing experience because we were really looking forward to our awning out back. But it wasn't because somebody didn't do their job. In the end, I didn't get an awning at all and the guys had to take it all the way back where it came from. I had to go buy an outdoor table with an umbrella so I could have little bit of shade. But it wouldn't have been nothing like the awning would have been. The gentleman who initially came out and assess the place should have done a better job, and he would have known that they couldn't attach it.

    To anyone considering getting a SunSetter awning, make sure your house is not made of metal and concrete, because they can't attach it. I couldn't believe there's nothing to attach it to. Even though you had metal trusses, you would think they still could. The sales guy was aware that my house was concrete, so he put that in there and some kind of extra something that I had to pay for, and I paid for that. But the installers said they still couldn't attach it.

    To start, I am an amputee from the Vietnam War and bought into this SunSetter Awning. I spent over 10k to get the best (I thought)! Since July 25' service has been out twice. The first time the awning had shifted out of level and was corrected. Second service call was because the LED lights had fallen out of the arms. Service came out and put the lights back on. However one of the lights came back down the same day!! I complained to SunSetter and they sent me copies of the owners manual(?) I think they expect me to fix it!!

    SunSetter Awnings was on our radar for a while. It wasn't too long before it was ordered. Sunsetter installed the awning after a little while. It's beautifully designed. It retracts. We could lower it. We bought the feature where it drops down a bit more so it's four feet lower, and that's beautiful. We live in a neighborhood where our house sits with the sunlight that beats down on the deck. But when we put the awning, the temperature changed like night and day. It was wonderful. If you wanna save money and have a deck or even the back is in the sun, it's going to drastically lower your temperature bills.

    I have a porch that I couldn't use because it's too hot in the summer. We got a Sunsetter awning and the installation went really fast. I was surprised how quickly they got it up. The installation went really well. My mother-in-law years ago, had gotten a SunSetter too and I've always liked it. But back then, she had the crank and not the remote one like I have. The quality of my awning is excellent. It's a little on the pricier side, but it has good quality and good workmanship. I already got a neighbor to buy one and I got a little bit of a discount.

    We purchased an awning from SunSetter for a restaurant to block the sun so diners don't have the sun on them while they're eating. Our experience with their team was great. The rep took his time and explained to us what we needed. He really helped us out to tell us what we needed, what size we needed, and all the different features of it and the accessories, too.

    I liked what the guy from SunSetter Awnings said. He came to my sister's place and did his spiel. I wasn't gonna get an awning at first because we get a lot of wind out where we are, and my sister was the same way. However, he said they have an automatic one where if it comes to too much wind, it closes itself. So, that sold it to me. The boys came and put it together and didn't take them very long. I was pretty impressed with the awning. I haven't had any problems with it. I was happy with the color, too. It's kind of a slate blue and gray combination. That's very pretty. I have new shutters on the house that match that steel gray look. It also has the same gray steel color for the part of the deck on the floor. So, everything came together. I'm really happy with the whole thing. I’d tell others how much I like it and how well the boys put it together.

    Our backyard is awfully sunny. In order to sit out in this Tennessee heat, we needed some shade. I googled to see about retractable awnings, and SunSetter is the one that came up the most. Then our neighbors have one too, and they were happy with it. We bought a motorized one and their team was wonderful. No pressure, just showed us the options.

    The installation was great. They came out exactly when they said they would. We had to have an electrician come out on the side, though, to put in the outlet, 'cause we didn't have one on the outside of the house. The rep arranged it. He got us in contact with an electrician that he works with. That guy came out and put in the electrical outlet at a very reasonable price. Then I let the installer know, and he came out the next day and put the awning up for us.

    We've been very happy with it. It's very easy to use with just pushing a button, and it goes in and out. That makes it really nice. We didn't get a lot of chance to use it last year because, a couple of weeks after the install, we had to go out of state for longer than we expected, and we were gone for three months. Then by the time we got home, the sun issue was pretty much over with. But I'm sure this year we'll get a lot of use out of it.

    I found SunSetter through Costco and I'm very dissatisfied with my local installer. He's a contractor that has a contract with Costco and SunSetter, and he places the orders and gets commission. I ordered blinds for a family room window that are manual. He ordered the wrong one and was upset about it because he had to keep it. He ordered the wrong color and then asked if I still wanted it ‘cause I ordered $10,000 in blinds.

    I've also got two blinds that equal $4,000 that are electric, and they don't go up or down right. One side comes down but the other doesn't. They get caught up. They're just being destroyed if I use them. The local installer said that because we live next to the beach, the issue with the motorized blinds is because of the wind. We've lived here for 26 years, and you mean to tell me they don't sell these at homes near the beach? It's not the wind that's causing the problem. The electric blinds were not installed properly.

    I'm tired of dealing with this guy because he turns around and blames us. He doesn't wanna do anything. I got him to come out and replace one of the electric blinds, but now the one that was replaced has the same problem. He only did that because I was gonna order another blind, ‘cause I needed another manual blind. I would tell people, “Don't go for the motorized.”

    We wanted to have a cover made in our patio, so we were looking at some options, and it came across getting a Sunsetter awning. We found out that Costco had a special going on for awnings and if we did it, we would also get a discount. On top of that, we'd get about 20% back of what we paid onto a Costco gift card. That was a win-win. We used that 20% to buy additional pool furniture. So, we thought it was great.

    We couldn't just buy the SunSetter awning at Costco. We had to set up an appointment, and they came out. The opportunity to discuss the options and the choices helped us decide because we were not just gonna buy it because of price. We also want to make sure that the service was also a good level. Costco is known for advocating for their customers. We've done business in the past like this before. It's almost like they hold companies to a higher standard, and they know that they can't really mess up because Costco has our back before they're gonna have their back. The experience was great with the team. The person that came explained everything in detail. So, it gave us confidence, and we were happy with it.

    The awning we got is motorized. I have a remote that extends it and then a remote contracts it back into place. I spared the expense to get the highest level of fabrics to ensure that the longevity of that fabric was gonna be around for a long time and the guarantee that comes with it. We have a really pretty blue color for the fabric, so it really makes the pool come out and stand out. We love it.

    Everything went great with the installation. We did have some issues with it but not because of them. Life is life, and things happen. They took the time to come out, and make sure it was done right. They didn't ask me for any additional money, too. The staff was incredible, always friendly, always professional, and cleaned up after themselves. They know how to take care of their customers. I told them it looked like they could just connect it. They said they were gonna put a brand-new component in just to be sure everything is right, and they did. So, they weren't nickel-and-diming me. They went above and beyond to make sure that everything was right. Overall, there was full transparency on everything. They never once said one thing and then change tactics to get us to go to a higher level. They told us it's our choice what we want to do, but they told us what this can do and what that can't do.

    My new SunSetter awning is fine, but the original one was better. We went with SunSetter thinking we can replace it and it'll be better, and it wasn't. The whole design's different. The new one is a freestanding. You just crank it out. The original one had the legs that we brought down. It was a nice, firm base, but they don't make that style anymore. As far as the people in the office, it wasn't an issue. That part of it was good. When the guy showed up and did the install, they put a ton of holes across the siding on the house. They mounted it like a foot higher than the original one because they claimed they couldn't find studs. And in the interim of doing that, they punctured a ton of holes and put a bunch of silicone. It was crooked. It was a mess, so we had to call Sunsetter back and get the guys.

    The guy that installed it was very disrespectful to my husband. It was not a good experience altogether. They came back out. My husband got a new piece of siding for them to install the correct way, and instead of them installing it the correct way, they cut the top off of it and just put a bunch of drill holes and more silicone. So, needless to say, they didn't rectify the original problem. We didn't want those workers back. What they ended up doing was they gave us a free weather cover for it, but the whole experience was not good. It was like $6,000 to have somebody come out and be disrespectful and rude, and it's poor work.

Tony then called us making sure everything was good. But we ran into a problem because there were big floods in Texas at the time. So, Sarah wasn't getting deliveries. We were going to have a party on Memorial Day weekend, and I reached out to her because we really wanted the awning for the party.

    I have southern exposure from my slider and my deck in the backyard. I needed shade and putting up an awning was cheaper than putting up a roof. I've been contemplating on getting a SunSetter for a few years, and I also saw their ads on TV. I read a lot of home decor magazines and their ads are in all the magazines, too. I wanted quality and because SunSetter is the best, I went with them. You can skimp on some things, but not this. The salesman who first came out showed me the samples and quoted my price, which was about twice what I thought it would be, but he was wonderful. Then, the young fellows who brought the awning and installed it in the back, were sweet, nice, and smiling. I was very impressed not only with the product, but the people employed by SunSetter.

    I had a black and white stripe picked out for the pine. Their rep said that was was really nice but he told me to keep in mind that if a bird flies over and poops, the white part will have a couple of splotches. We have a pond nearby with Canadian geese and when they poop, they poop. He said he was only telling me that because he'd been selling these for a long time and it was what he learned over the years. So I changed my mind because what he told me made perfect sense and he was a big help. I picked out a different one, which I love and adore. For the price, I expected it to be 3,000 three to 4,000, and it was 8,000, so it was twice as much as I had planned on. But I'm glad I did it. I thought about it overnight, and the rep called me the next morning to see what I had decided. I told him that would do it.

    In the afternoon, we use the awning when I have a couple neighbors who come over and we often have cocktails on the deck. Also, I work a lot in my garden. So when I put it up in the morning, if it's a nice day, it's pretty much up all day. It's really hot at noon, but by the time 4:00 and 5:00 roll around, it's really warm. So, we just sit and enjoy the flowers under the awning. I've had no problems with it whatsoever.

    When it's windy, you either draw it in closer to the house or roll it all the way up. But it did it on its own and that was really great, because their rep said it would do that. I thought it could be years before that happened, but I was glad that it happened in the first year. We're still under warranty, so my builder was working on my new deck, and he had it out to keep cool while he was nailing boards, and all of a sudden, zip! It rolled itself up. So my first year with my SunSetter awning was glorious. It's winter now so I haven't rolled it out yet, but if I have any issue, I'll find my customer service number and give them a buzz. And because SunSetter is SunSetter, top of the line, I will expect them to be just as wonderful as everybody else has been.

I paid for the motor, but I kept it as a spare just in case. As far as I'm concerned, I got nothing good to say about SunSetter Awnings. That's the problem with these companies.

The installers came when they were scheduled, and they were very efficient and did a wonderful job. Then they showed me how to use it, and then they left. So far, it's been very windy this year, so I'm anxious to see how it will open in the spring. But it looks like it's held up through the wind, and it certainly did great last year when I was using it. I live on a lake, and in the afternoon, the sun comes right onto my patio. I use the awning to block the sun out of my living room, and also, so that I can sit outside in the afternoon and not be in the direct sun.

    Excellent shade provider. We were limited to the type of shade provider (porch) by zoning laws, the SunSetter Awning provided us with the perfect solution. The cover (cassette) for the rolled up awning keeps the cloth protected from rain/snow as well as sun damage. We enjoy the remote controls and flexibility of how much shade we wish to have. The remote wind sensors work, safely activating the need to withdraw the awning to prevent damage. A wise investment for our new house, which we very much enjoy.

    For quite a few years, I wanted to buy an awning because it gets so hot at the back of my house. I've always seen SunSetter's advertisements and flyers in the mail, and I've inquired about them. The contractor who did the installation contacted me when I inquired about it. They let me know the size options, difference between manual and electric rollout, fabric options, and mounting options whether it's rooftop mount or underneath the gutter mount. I went with the rooftop as it was another probably 18 inches of head clearance. As you get farther out from the house, the awning slopes down for runoff so below would have put the roof of the awning pretty low on the outward end.

    The service was quick. They had everything here in a short period of time and ready to put it on. Four guys come out and installed it, and they were in and out in two, three hours. I had one problem with the motor though. They had to replace the drive motor and they came back right out for that. It was noisy from the start, but I thought it was the way it sounded. Then, it started catching, going in and out, and finally, it just stopped. I couldn't get the awning to retract once it was out because the motor pretty much was just stuck where it was at. When I called and explained it, they sent someone out in a day. He said I needed a new motor and he had one on the truck. He replaced it for free.

    That was at the end of the summer so I haven't gotten a lot of use out of the awning since then, but it's way quieter. I can tell there's a big difference between that motor and the one that came in it. However, I had to jump through some hoops when I tried to get ahold of customer service when the motor stopped. When I called the customer service number, it was more like a corporate number and they had to get me the information. They got me through but that could be a little simpler so you know exactly who to call.

    The contractor seemed to take some cost off but it still seemed a little more than I thought I was gonna pay. But they upgraded me to one size longer and gave me the rooftop mount free for the cost of one size smaller in width. Hopefully, the awning holds up over time. If someone wanted an awning, I'd recommend SunSetter if they didn't want to put up a permanent one.

I'll usually only roll the awning out halfway, because, for some reason, I need to turn the sensitivity down, because as soon as the wind blows a little bit, it rolls back up.

    I would have given SunSetter a high rating but they didn’t honor a discount they promised. I called them and I was told someone would call me back, but no one ever did. I tried calling during my lunch break and left a message. I called again later and still didn’t get a response. I even reached out to the installer’s office and was told they were out to lunch, but no one followed up after that either. When I finally spoke to someone, I was given a confusing explanation about who was responsible for the promotion, and it felt like I was being passed around instead of getting a straight answer. Because of the lack of communication and the way the discount issue was handled, I rated SunSetter a 1.

    Our backyard faces west, so we couldn’t sit on the patio. I saw ads and decided to try SunSetter. The salesperson was very nice. And the installers did a professional, clean job. We got a motorized awning with a bronze frame and a top in beige, white, and dark beige, about 10 x 9 feet, with lights, attached to our house. It was a very smooth experience. Everything was very easy to deal with. SunSetter was excellent.

    We took down a tree that stood right out back of the sunroom on the back of the house. It required something to screen us from the hot summer sun. Sunsetter's product looked like the engineering was done real well. It's a motorized 18-footer, a big one and just the right length for the deck. Once we got it all in, it's amazing, especially for its sheer size. The fabric that we chose goes really well with the house, and it really adds an element to the back of the house. Especially in the summer, we put it out probably every day. What really sold me on it was the local representative that came out, presented the product, and looked at what was necessary. They've provided tremendous service for us too in the meantime.

    The new unit got put up, and you put it out, and then it would just retract on its own for no reason. They thought it was the wind sensor. We fiddled and fiddled and it still does it, so they sent out a whole new motor for the thing and put it in. That seemed to solve the problem, everybody thought. The first motor replacement took weeks and that was a little disappointing. What we would do is run it out and then unplug it. Then it couldn't take off and run in on its own. We did that for a few weeks when we wanted, as long as it wasn't too breezy.

    Then one day, we went to put it out, and one of the arms basically exploded. It tore loose from the unit and went sticking out, and the whole thing crashed. It was a complete disaster annd they figured out what had occurred. It was a manufacturing issue where they hadn't gotten something tightened down the way it should have been. But the company and the local rep was insistent that after all the trouble we had had up to that point, that they needed to get this thing turned around. They got a whole brand new unit, not parts, in about a week's time. Not only did the local rep do wonderful things, but the company responded to get this situation rectified. That happened in just about the hottest part of the summer too, so all of a sudden, we didn't have our shade. Everybody stepped up and got the job done.

    We were sitting out there on the deck one afternoon, and the wife looks up and says there's a hole in the little valance that goes across the front. I got up there and it looked like a little knife cut in the awning. I called our rep and she said she's gonna have them send out a whole new valance and not gonna patch that one. I installed that myself because It was easy.

    Their local installation team is brilliant. They came across a few difficulties getting it installed because of some wood rot that was in the house, and we worked around that. They're top-notch individuals figuring out how to make things work, taking care of the client. With the support of the parent company, that's hard to find, ones that step up that much. In fact, the whole brand new unit shows up and they get it all installed. It's operating properly and everybody's got a sigh of relief. Despite the problems, because of the way they handled it, the end result was they got it all rectified. We're very happy with the product and the way it operates and what it does for us.

    We just had a new patio at the back of our house, and I saw my sister had installed an awning from SunSetter. I really liked it, so I thought, “I’d like to have that.” It cuts out the sun pouring into the house. I like the look, because I got colors that went with my house. We get lights underneath it in case we have a cookout at night. I think they were a little expensive. It’s not something you just randomly do unless you really thought it out.

    It did not go with the wind and rain feature where it retracts because my space was not high enough. Our house was built in '75, and the roof and ceilings are lower. I wanted it up on my upper deck but there was just no space, unless it was installed through the metal roof, which we just had done. I wish it could have been installed higher so that it had more of a slant and the rain would run off of it. If I’m sitting out there and it pools, or if I forget that it was open and I'm upstairs, I need to close it. That’s the inconvenience, but that’s not on the awning itself. Overall, I'm pleased with it.

    SunSetter Awnings was convenient for us. We weren’t using our patio because we get a lot of direct sun on it. We bought the piece that goes down to block the sun, not only over the top, but on the side of the patio too. My only issue with it is you got to do a lot of adjusting. We bought a really long one that goes out far. I don't know if it's a design issue or they just didn't train us properly on how to do it. Since it’s so long, if you look out from our kitchen, you can see the left side of the awning is higher than the right side or vice versa. My husband is an engineer and he goes out there and adjusts it every time we pull it out. Doing that maintenance on it is annoying.

    It's probably a little pricey for what we paid, but overall, it's definitely made the back patio better. The people were nice. I didn't see anything that was inappropriate. Everything else has been fairly positive.

    The rep knew what he was talking about. He laid out the pros and cons and didn't push for the high-end stuff. He Just let me make my own judgment after he gave me all the information.

    My awning's motorized and it has lights. It’s tans and browns, which fit in perfectly with the development. It fits over my patio. I have no idea how big my patio is, but it's a nice size. I got a privacy screen, which pulls down at the end of your screen. People can still see in, but it makes it a little cozier and nicer. Hopefully, it will deter people from just walking up to my patio.

    My awning does few things. The umbrella over the table didn't quite cover everything. And as the sun moved, you got zapped. In the afternoons, there was no way you could sit out there. I have it open throughout a bright sunny day. My living room is cooler because the sun's not beating in. I eat dinner and eat lunch out there. I get out there as often as possible and enjoy my space. I sit out there in the morning with my coffee. So, it's for shade.

    I had the professional installer do it, and they came and did it in four hours. They took care of the patio furniture and chairs to not damage them in any way. I was extremely pleased throughout the whole process.

And I had to fabricate brackets because I didn't install it on a wall. It was at the edge of a covered patio. So, we had to get away from the roof tiles. But it was okay. It worked.

    I saw SunSetter’s TV commercials and did some research online. The presentation was okay but I had an issue with the contracted installer. SunSetter sent somebody out and the guy did something. I had water leaking between the house and the awning because it appeared dented. It was dropping weight at the entrance way. I picked a bronze color flashing and when they bent it, it was white. It looked terrible. It was something they could have easily done, painting the backside of it. The guy who works for SunSetter ended up coming back and fixing it so it looks nice now. But when I was talking to the guy who did the installation, he screwed up. After I sent him photographs of what I was talking about, he recanted a little bit.

    The caulking job isn’t great, especially at the top. It’s on a raised deck, so you can’t see it from below, but the awning sits right above the master bedroom window. When I look out, or look down from the deck, I can see the uneven caulking. You can even see it from the yard since the back of the house is three stories tall, which includes the basement exit, main floor, and the second floor. Even with that, I’m fine with it.

    The owner of the company was not good but his worker was. He tried to make it right. They said that the rubber seal on the back wasn't filling the house and they'd order one and come back and do it. Then I never heard from Mike, the owner, so I called him. I ended up getting the number of his worker. Mike said he didn't order the part and that it wasn’t what I needed. He said to use common sense, which pissed me off. So, I sent him photos of exactly what it was and he recanted on what he was saying. They never ordered a new seal. They're saying that because of the header board that they put on, it pulls it away from the house and a new seal wouldn't make a difference. But they're claiming there’s flashing.

    I don't need somebody to be nice about things. I just need them to be correct. But this guy was very rude. I would not use him and I've told someone interested in it not to use them. There are other SunSetter installers in my area but that would be one I would not recommend. I even told my neighbor about SunSetter when they asked who I used.

Paying another contractor to fix it didn’t sit right with me when I already spent $7,000 on the awning. It was a little weird because I called SunSetter and then I got a contract company. I figured that with SunSetter being a large company, they would have their own installers and not contract someone else. I like the awning, but I wouldn’t do it again. Also, the pricing was high.

    I needed some shade. I have looked into SunSetter several years ago and I had friends that had SunSetters who said that they really enjoyed them. So, I went to their rep in the Escanaba area and I talked to them. They were friendly and joking around about things. They took me into the shop and showed me different situations. They also had one up in their shop, so they could open it up to let people see how it was. Then they came out and measured everything for me. They told me what I needed and never pressured me into buying something I didn't need or want. They had to order my awning and after a couple of weeks, they installed the awning for me. In fact, I was one of the first people for that season to be installed. The representative of the company and his buddy came out, and they had it up within two hours. It went well.I got a 10 x 8 that has a wind sensor on it, and it's got a manual and automatic crank-out.

    I would tell my friends to go purchase a SunSetter. It's totally awesome because my house is totally open to the sun all day long. And that particular end of the building where I have that SunSetter is open to the sun all day long. I don't get shade until 7 o'clock at night. So, when it is extremely warm outside, I cannot sit out on my deck to enjoy it and my pond without roasting to death. But under there, I could sit and there's no problem. So, I thoroughly enjoy it. The price was also less than what I thought it was going to be.

    We had a SunSetter awning for over 20 years and it got damaged in the wind. It took two of us to put it up and put it down. So, I got a new one with the remote, and I love it. SunSetter's team was very good during my purchase. I called and talked to a person who was very helpful, Julie. Then I talked to somebody else that was on the other end and I was happy with that rep as well. They explained everything and helped me order the right one. And when it came, they put it right there where it needed to be put up, so we didn't have to haul it anywhere. I got the motorized one and it's blue. I've got a table and chairs in the area, and I sit out there and have coffee. When the sun comes up right out there on that side of the house, it blocks the sun. If anybody's thinking about getting one, I would tell them to go get a SunSetter.

    The sales guy was very kind and very knowledgeable in his field. He suggested an awning, and I thought it would look nice, so that was what I got. The neighbors and my tenants even love the color that I chose. He gave me a cover and told me that this is what I have to do before winter. So I was adamant on my tenants to do this before winter. They even let it open and air dried it so there was no water in there, which was good.

    The installation was very nice. The fitting was nice too. I did ask the gentleman if I ever get a new roof, what do I do with the SunSetter? He said that I could give him a call, and they'll come and remove it so I can have my new roof. His service was very nice. He was very kind and knowledgeable. I like them. I will use them again.

    We originally purchased our Sunsetter electric awning in 2003. Believe it or not it lasted until 2023. The motor finally gave up and the awning material was deteriorating so we decided to replace the motor and the awning canvas. What started as 5-8 weeks ended up being 5 months but ok it's up. We had issues from the get go with the motor tripping our breaker and after the contractor came out numerous times felt all was good. Fast forward to 2025 kept blowing the breaker, was told it was our wiring. After having an electrician troubleshoot our wiring, they said it was the motor. Called Sunsetter and even though I have paperwork that says the motor has a 5 year warranty apparently they were bought out and/or relocated and now only offer 1 year warranty. Today the contractor verified the motor was bad and would need to be replaced at our expenses. Not at all happy with their customer service. Used to be an excellent product, but not so sure now.

    SunSetter was great. There were a few hiccups, but they fixed it. Everything was fine. We had a problem with the electricity, but it turned out to be it wasn't SunSetter's fault. They came out and looked at it and told us to call an electrician. It wasn't the unit. So they were really great about that. The only thing that I don't like about the awning is that for the cord to come down, there's a big metal and even though you can see it, it's a different color, and it's wide. Everyone has tripped over it. But there's no other way to do it because that's how it makes it sturdy. It comes out like a T on both sides on the bottom, and it's going to be a hazard that way. But that's just the way it's made.

    We had an awning that we purchased five years ago. We decided that we had another area that needed to be covered from the sun. We went ahead and ordered another one. I also had one put up in Alaska and I got it up there, and it worked really well. So we decided we’d do that here. Sunsetter did their work well, and they did what we wanted to do. I installed them up there in Alaska. They were fairly easy to install. I didn't read the instructions twice. But down here in Arizona, they were so long. I had to hire somebody and that guy is out of Tucson. He came down here on time. They shipped them to him. He brought them down. All the parts were there. Everything was there at one time. The ones up north are manual. The ones down here, we put the electric control on them. He set all that up and had it all done. It took him about six hours to get it all done. They've been working perfectly since then.

    Material-wise, it's all good. The material down here is good for 10 years and then they have a replacement material if we need it. The framework and everything else appear to be really good. I’ve had some 25-mile-an-hour winds go through here, and we have a sensor on it so it automatically retracts, and that works. I've recommended SunSetter to others.

    When we moved to Florida, we had seen some advertising about SunSetter. We called a number that we got and they sent a representative out. As a matter of fact, they were an installer representative. They did the installation and it went very well. It was seamless at that point. We really enjoy the product. We really like it. We bought one for the front and one for the back. We got them installed in late May. We went away for five weeks and it was sunny when we left and we forgot to close them, actually. When we came back, the front one was closed and the back one was broken. So, we called.

    What distressed us more than anything was the place that had installed them wanted $257 just to come out and look at it. So, I would not recommend this installer. I called SunSetter themselves and I sent them pictures and they covered everything under warranty and even pointed me to where videos were to where I could fix it myself. They were great.

It wasn't a big deal. I still went with SunSetter. I just thought maybe it just costs more to have somebody come out and do it all. I was able to have somebody install it for me for $300. So, it didn't really make sense to pay for their installation. Other than the confusion with the guy coming here, it's been great. I've had to call because I had some user error issues on my part.

    I had a terrible experience with SunSetter. I hope it doesn't happen to somebody else. We were buying an awning for my parents who are in their 80s. They live about two hours from me, and they love the outdoors. They have a very hot patio. So, we wanted to get them some cover. I saw SunSetter on Home Depot, and saw some great reviews on it. It was powered, which is wonderful, and what they needed. So, I went in with it with my siblings, four of us pitched in, and we bought it for our parents. Home Depot said that it would be delivered within a four-day window. So, the fifth day worked out perfectly for us because we were gonna go up there and install it for them. My brother, my sister and I were to meet up there on that fifth day. We made the trip up, stayed overnight, and it was not delivered.

    When I called, they said, "Yeah. Sorry. There was a delay." Nobody told me about it. It was still supposed to be delivered according to the website. They promised me the next time. We scheduled again about three weeks later and we made the trip up again. It wasn't delivered again. So, it was really frustrating. The awning went from SunSetter to a third party and then to be delivered to us. At this point, Home Depot was out of it, but there was some kind of shipping company in between. The third time it was gonna be there, we couldn't make the trip up. So, we paid a local, younger moving company to just be there and get it out of the rain because my parents are old. They couldn't carry it to get it to a safe place.

    The website said it would be delivered on this day. So, the guys went up there to move it. It was there. It was a big, giant tube. They moved it and put it under cover. We went up a few days later to install it only to find out that the legs weren't with it. It was a separate package that got lost in transit somewhere. Home Depot gave me $150 two separate times to cover the cost of the shipping so that I wouldn't have to pay for that.

    The awning itself is awesome and works beautifully. When it's windy, it's pretty solid. When you fold it up, and if it's very windy or rainy, it works beautifully. It's just the process of getting it to us was a nightmare, and I don't know if it was Home Depot's fault or if it was the local shipper's fault, but whoever SunSetter is partnering with is not doing them any justice.

    SunSetter figured out how I felt as I was going through it because they had to send me the legs separately. They had to have a separate truck come out to get the legs to us. The way it ended up going was my 82-year-old dad and his neighbor put it together because they felt so bad about us traveling back and forth. My mom called me upset saying that my dad was gonna kill himself that he's putting this together. It turned out to not be that difficult to put it together. It was a little heavy, but he was fine with it. For such a great product, we thought the price was right on. It's just the whole process of getting it was bad.

We bought the medium material and it's heavy duty. It seems to be fairly sturdy and we got it in a tan color that matches our house.

    So far, our experience with the awning has been satisfactory and I've given SunSetter's information from our experience to some friends. But they're expensive. Also, we have to cover the awning in the winter and they sold us the kit to cover it. But we have it attached to our roof because we don't have an overhang large enough for it. And the wrap is okay, but they don't make a wrap for our type. We use the one they gave us, but we had to use our own bungee cords to secure it. They had these other attachments that you're supposed to put on your house to wrap it and it did not work for us. We called our guy who sold it to us and he said they don't make one for those.
