I love the machine, but the service and the replacement sucks. When it's working, it's great. But when there are issues, I have to do it myself or get my other people to do it instead of the warranty on the other system. We put our SunSetter awnings in nine months ago. It was supposed to be the new warranty, when something went wrong with it, SunSetter would send me a replacement part. There is a tear in the fabric, and the engine was cutting on and off. I called the gal who installed it. “I'll be there.” However, it has been seven months and nobody showed up. So, we patched it ourselves. I just have the old fabric on. And many times, the end motor remote did not work. It's working now. But when I had problems with it, I called the dealer who said, “It’s okay. I will send the installer guy,” and back and forth. So, I stopped calling. I'm done. We paid lot of money for it.

SunSetter has a proven track record and this is our second awning in about 18 years. It was cheaper to buy a new one than to get the parts replaced. SunSetter has good, quality products. I would recommend it and buy it again, same with the local installers here in Maine. They were nice people.

Our double garage door faces west and we have a finished garage. It was important to mitigate some of the summer heat from the west as the sun is moving in that direction. The awning is to get us out of the sun a bit. I liked SunSetter’s overall reputation. A couple of years ago, someone came by and gave us a quote, and we weren't ready. And I called again last year and the young guy who came out was fun to work with and we decided to get the awning. Everything went well during the sales process and the guys who came for the installation were great. It’s a 16-foot motorized awning and it’s a nice, soft green that matches our siding. We also added the dropdown screen that comes out about four feet off the valance or the edge, and I'm glad I did that, too.
If you wanna get some relief from the sun wherever you need it, I would recommend SunSetter. People have asked us about it. One of the other owners in this condominium association also put a SunSetter up on their deck, which also faces the west. The only thing I’ve been a little disappointed in, though it’s not a big deal, is that I wish SunSetter had a cover I could put over the awning during the winter. I purchased one from another place, but it didn’t work, so I sent it back. But we’re very happy with the awning. We got a good deal when we decided to buy it and I was pleased with the price. It was an excellent experience with SunSetter.

I would recommend SunSetter Awnings if you are looking for somewhere to go. The whole thing went smoothly. It all went according to plan, which is a good thing in this day and age. They did their job. They got paid. Everybody's happy. SunSetter's salesman was decent enough. He and his son came over and they put the awnings up quickly. No mess, no fuss. I'm pleased. We put one awning in initially, and we decided we wanted another one on a different deck. They have lights. Also, there are four stripe colors involved. I like them. We've had them up for almost a year. They seem to work well, and hopefully, they will at summer when I use them.

SunSetter’s name was familiar, though I didn’t know much about them. I don’t have room for a patio and I decided there was room between a couple of rooms. So, the awning works fine. People who come over say they wish they had one of those. They think they're cheap and they're not because I have a fairly big one. I’m sometimes in a wheelchair and a walker, and I can't get out there quickly. When it's windy or if it rains, the awning closes by itself. And I like that the most because I don't have to worry about it.

Everybody from SunSetter was great. I haven't had a chance to use the product a lot, but so far so good. My husband is handicapped, and it will keep the rain off of him. I have a remote, and that's really nice, but I also have the crank in case the remote doesn't work. I have it as a backup. Overall, SunSetter is a reliable company that I know of so far, and seems like they got great quality. They're a little expensive, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

I bought a Sunsetter product in 2022 from one of their Regional suppliers. The product broke. I contacted Sunsetter, and they informed me that an add-on I purchased from their supplier voided the warranty, and they would not replace parts OR sell me replacement parts. Their customer service team told me to call a handyman to correct the issue. I would never recommend Sunsetter for any product or service.

We really think that SunSetter is a step above most of the other companies. We had a SunSetter awning before, and we thought they were a good product. We moved. So, we decided to get another one.

It's been an amazing process with SunSetter. I went online, but it ended up being more expensive online than if I went through the representative. Their rep came out, and she was very helpful. Her husband came out and explained everything, helped us change the measurement of the awning, and helped us explain how far it's going to come out, how it works, and what comes with it. Everything, the whole process, from the install to them getting the product out there, was wonderful. Can't say one negative thing about the process at all. I had an issue with the little screen that comes down from the awning. They were able to get that over to me and got that all swapped out. They were amazing. And anytime I would text them, they were on it. With any warranty issues, they tend to stay on top of it. It was excellent work. My experience with SunSetter was wonderful. If I had to do it again, I would.

SunSetter Awnings sounded like a good deal at the time. The guy that sold the awning to us told us he would have it installed by a certain date, but that didn't happen. When we inquired more about it, SunSetter itself said he should have never told us it could be done that soon. That is one of our complaints. The installation was awesome. Once they got here, it was done in no time flat, and they were very nice. We've only had it for a year, and it has been too windy to use it lately. So far, we're very happy with it.

We brought our mom with us about seven years ago, and she had early dementia. So, we wanted to get her out onto the deck, but we needed to protect her from the sun. We picked SunSetter based on a commercial that I had seen on TV. The man who initially came out gave us the estimate, and he was very professional. I felt like when he left, I could trust their installers. But they shorted us on the lags. The size of the SunSetter awning that we got required four bolts on the roof, and they only put half of their lags into the roof that should have been there. If my wife hadn't read the specs on it, we would have never known.
I made one phone call, and they came out immediately and installed the proper amount of lag. However, one of the lags was put in at an angle and not all the way in. It felt like the installers cut us short, and when they came back to correct what they had done, it still wasn’t right. They may have been in a hurry. I was very frustrated when I looked up and saw that the lag they had just installed was still not even close to straight, so I didn’t bother calling again. Still, I couldn't be happier with how the awning is functioning. I would recommend SunSetter even though I had some problems with the installers. The whole experience was good, and we're benefiting in the summer months from the awning. It allows mom to be comfortable and sit, and I can't put a price on it. She loves to overlook the yard. We have a pool out back and she's up probably 20 feet out on that deck. So, it’s worth a million bucks.

We had a pool put in and when we decided to get an awning, SunSetter seemed to have good ratings and reviews. We got the biggest one that they could install and it’s at the back of the house. It’s electric and we also bought a hand crank one that is over by the pool that has its own stand bolted into the decking. We had solar panels on the roof, which made it a little challenging for the installers because it didn't leave much space between the end of the solar panels and the end of the roof, but they got it to fit perfectly. The team did a wonderful job and stuck to the timeline for the installation. We’ve had the awning for a little over a year now and it works great.

I went to a distributor that sells SunSetter awnings. I had them do the install as well and it was fantastic. The only thing is when it gets windy, it's hard to keep them out. They start fluctuating up and down and you start worrying about them. You wonder are they going to rip the bolts out of the wall? There's only so much stress that wall could take and I got a big one - a 16 x 12 footer. They also could be a little bit cheaper.

SunSetter has a good reputation and Costco was offering a significant discount on them. We went ahead with them and the experience was pretty effortless. They came out, sold the awning to us, then they came and installed it. We knew what we wanted and the sales rep told us the size of it and what she would recommend for the size. Then we picked out the coloring to match the house. The sales rep really helped us. We've had the awning for a year and the quality has been pretty good, so far. We use it three or four times a week for shade from the sun on our patio. I have already told a lot of people about SunSetter. They're a little expensive but the quality is worth the price.

We knew about SunSetter from our neighbors and from a previous home. The sales rep was very nice and went through a lot of things with us. We had some sun coming up in the back and we needed something to protect it from the sun. It was hard to bring the awning in because it was very long at 17 feet. It took some time, but it was fine. The awning came out good. We had paid for the lights and didn't get it but within a reasonable period of time, the rep was able to get it and the installer came and installed it so everything was fine. We don't use the awning too often but when we do, we like it. It seems to be working out great and does what it's supposed to do. I would highly recommend SunSetter.

I’ve been living here for about 10 years, and I finally decided I wanted to be able to read the paper in the morning without the sunlight glaring down on my head. I did a little research and found that, product-wise, SunSetter was probably one of the best on the market, maybe in the top two or three. If the price was competitive, I was going to go with the best. The person who came out recommended going to the SunSetter website, but we knew what we wanted, and what he had in his bag sufficed. The people who did the work were excellent, and I had no issues with them. They were good guys, a family-owned business, and I liked the hands-on approach. That kind of follow-up on the job works great. The price was competitive. It wasn’t the lowest price, but it wasn’t the highest either, and a lot depends on the contractor and the profit margin they add.
I purchased a motorized awning and also got the drop-down screen for the front. I was told the installation would take a day, but it was less than a day, which took around five hours. I lived in a house where I had a 20-foot span but my awning isn’t that large. It’s about half of that. We get a good deal of wind where I live because it’s an open area. You have to be careful with the awning because the kind of wind that blows around at times, even 30 miles an hour, could rip it right off the wall if you have it fully extended. So that’s something that should probably be looked at because people just forget. They open the awning, go out and suddenly, they get a bad wind off a rainstorm. When they come home, it’s ripped right off the house. But so far, the awning has only been up for about a year, and there are no signs of wear and tear.

My husband and I had purchased different types of pergolas for our back patio and none of them seemed to work. My husband and I are older and during the wintertime, it was inconvenient for us to have to take the thing off the top of the pergola. So my husband didn't, and everything broke. I had purchased some outdoor kitchen items for our patio, and we wanted something to cover us when we sit outside because we didn’t have anything. Our neighbor has an awning in the front of their house that looks nice, and I decided to get one for the back patio. I saw a commercial on TV, which is what made me call them and proceed. And the price was reasonable. The rep who came out here was an older gentleman and he was very professional. He said he's been doing it for a long time, and his son and some other guy who works with them were the ones who came out and installed it. They were neat and clean and did a great job.
You can retract the awning and it even retracts itself if the wind gets too high, which is a convenience right there. I got the light up underneath and the extension in the front. You can dim a light and it’s very sexy-looking. We entertain a lot back there in the summer and our family enjoyed it. I got the long one and I'm pleased with it. The only thing that I wish they had that we couldn't get was the bug thing to go around the whole thing. But other than that, I'm happy with it.
My daughter-in-law wants one and I told her to call SunSetter because they will work with you. I'm gonna tell my neighbor about it when I see her. She had a pergola for years and I asked my husband why she’s not having any issues with her pergola. And I looked back and the pergola is gone. So I'm gonna tell her about our awning. She's got a pool in her backyard and this would be nice for her backyard too. The awning is of good quality. Everything is expensive but SunSetter has to stay competitive.

I added a four-season porch onto our house and put another deck on, and it was getting hot in the room because it was on the west side.

I called and talked to a rep, and there were several misunderstandings about what I wanted but eventually, I got it through. I got a motorized awning and put it up myself. It was easy, though I had to have help from a neighbor to lift that in place. It took about 10 minutes.
I kept trying to tell SunSetter that I had issues with the motor and that it was a bad motor because it wouldn't operate as specified. I went through it several times, troubleshooting with them and by myself.

My backyard is east-facing, so I get all the sun in the evening. I don't have any trees and in order to sit out on my deck, I purchased an awning, so I could have some shade.

The installation was done almost a year ago and it didn't take that long. They cleaned up any messes they made as well.
The awning attached to my house is 18 wide x 15 and it's both manual and motorized with a remote. I have lights too. I didn't get the wind sensor because I would always be at home if the storm came up, and if I would leave, I wouldn't leave that out anyway.

They didn't - what they did was told him that he has to send pictures of the missing cord. You read that right. To get our cord we have to send picture of the awning installed missing the cord. When my husband asked why he had to send pictures for their mistake, they said it was policy.

I wanted to go and put a SunSetter, so we'd have shade. Because we had something else, and it didn't work on our deck. We had SunSetter before, so I decided to go back to SunSetter. I purchased a motorized one, and the installation went well. They had it in no more than six hours. They did a good job, because I had to have it on top of my roof, because it wouldn't go underneath my awning, because it had been too low on my deck. This winter, it worked out really well. I didn't have any problem with snow or anything building underneath it. My wife and I really like the SunSetter.

I've always wanted an awning and thought to get one because it's hot in an area in the mornings. SunSetter is the only one that I've really noticed seeing advertisements and I had received several brochures in the mail. Working with the person who sold the awning was very good. He was pleasant, gave me different options, and helped me decide on the color since my house was a certain color. I went with that. I would recommend SunSetter to my friends. I love the awning. However, I wouldn't recommend the person that put it up.
When it rained, I had a leak because of the water backing up. I called for him to come up and fix it, and that was last year. He hasn't showed up yet. I told the person that sold me the SunSetter what happened. He said he would call the installer and talk with him. But so far, he has never showed up to fix that area where the water would back up under my shingles that needed to be fixed. It caused a leak in my laundry room, and that's how I knew it. I thought it was from a storm. I called my adjuster for my home insurance. They went up and looked at it and said it was due to the awning.
Where it was positioned, it didn't allow the water to come down into the gutter, so it backed up and would go under my shingles. I have an iron metal roof going under that, and that is what caused the leak in my laundry room. I looked at it again and I said, “I'm just not going to call them anymore.” I would never use that person who put it up again, because he hasn't come back to honor his work. I will have to call someone to come and fix that so my ceiling won't eventually fall in, because it's leaking in there.

We had been using a metal-framed gazebo for years, taking the material down for the winter and putting it back up. The material wouldn't last for more than a year or two. It’d start ripping and we had to start buying the material to cover the metal, having to spray paint the metal over and over again. We had a bad winter storm, and the snow collapsed at the top of the gazebo metal. It was all bent out of shape, and I figured it was time to get a retractable one.
A gentleman came over, did some measurements, gave us options on widths and gave us a quote for a SunSetter awning. He was very flexible when we wanted a special material. The online tools are good as well. I was able to download the PDFs, print out colored pages for my wife to look at, made sure they had a hunter green or whatever came close to it. We went with a premium material. They had standard materials there, but my wife insisted on forest green. It's more weatherproof and has guaranteed material. It's more expensive, but it comes out of the factory instead of the rolls.
The two guys who came to install set it up fine. However, I didn't know that the angle can be adjusted. We have a glass round table with an umbrella. Unfortunately, the awning was installed a little bit too low and I had to cut a part of the umbrella a little bit shorter. I probably would have asked to install it a little bit higher so we wouldn't have to deal with that.
Also, the awning can trap rainwater because it's not a really tight rollout. If you're not careful, the weight of the water can collapse the arms. We didn't run into that but I was a little surprised when I went to retract it and buckets of water came pouring off the thing. It might have been a bad weather system, because when I called the lady up, she was mentioning that a lot of people have the arms break within the last few days. But we bought a warranty which covers that. If the arms break for whatever reason, they'll get replaced free of charge. But as with any other thing, like solar system on top of the house, it's free parts, but you have to pay for labor, which is crazy money per hour. Every time they come by to look at anything, it's 150 bucks an hour. That's a really disappointing part.
The awning kind of squeaks sometimes when it's going out. I don't know what needs lubricating. The water collection is kind of a potential issue. Also, when I retract it back into the house and when the metal piece at the end of the material finds its way home back underneath the lower hang thing, it clanks a little bit. I was going to call them to see if there was any yearly maintenance I should do.
But other than those, everything's going good. The awning looks beautiful. My wife and I are very satisfied so far. We've installed it in the fall and we haven't had a chance to use in the summer yet, but we look forward to it. I never realized how expensive they were, but I haven't had it long enough to say one way or another. Ours was around $8,000. But it's worked for us. I'd just give others all the warnings that the material is not taut. You can't just leave it when it's drizzling or raining because it might be too much weight to buckle the thing.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed review of your experience with the SunSetter awning and installation process. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the overall look and quality of the awning.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the height of the installation and the potential issues with water collection. Your insights regarding these areas are valuable, and we will certainly take them into account to improve future services. It’s great to know that the warranty provides reassurance, although we understand the concern about labor costs.
Regarding the squeaking and operation noise, it may be beneficial to contact our support team for advice on maintenance or lubrication, ensuring smooth functionality. We hope you continue to enjoy your awning and are here to help should you have any questions or need assistance in the future.

We had two guys come out and install the SunSetter awning. It was done well and quickly. We've had the awning for one summer and it works well on our deck. It meets all of the features that are expressed in the advertising. Our motorized, 22-feet awning is attached to the roof. It's a tan, consistent with our house color. It has the mechanism that closes it if it gets too windy. We use the awning when the sun peaks at 11 o'clock in the morning. We would keep it open all day until the sun passes. We'd shut it down around 6 o'clock in the afternoon. The only thing I don't like is we have an 8-inch flap that hangs down. That thing blows in the wind on certain wind directions and creates a great deal of noise. Other than that, I'm happy with the product and how it performs. I would recommend SunSetter Awnings if you're looking.

SunSetter was the company I called and they gave me a lot of options. The price might have been on the high side with it being a Chinese import, but I didn't have a problem with that because it got done quickly and perfectly. The awning is still going strong. I don't know that it will last, being a fabric, three to five years. But I'm happy with the quality. The motors, the lights, and the remote work. I am very satisfied and I'd tell others to give SunSetter a call.

I looked at different companies, and SunSetter Awnings seemed the best solution to my problem. A couple of friends and I put it up, and it was easy enough to install. The product is great. However, SunSetter's customer service is horrible. sent me the wrong awning. I called. They insisted that they sent me the right thing as I sat there and read my order to them. It was the wrong color. Also, the power cords are supposed to be on one side or the other so you can reach the outlet that you deal with. I ordered a righthand power cord. They sent a lefthand power cord, and still insisted that they sent the right thing.
I was able to accommodate the left-handed power cord. It turned out that the color that I got made my wife happier than the one that we ordered, so I said, “I am happy enough with what I got, but I want to let you know that somebody out there is getting the wrong awning and I got the wrong one, but I made it work.” They still insisted that I got the right awning. I said. “Fine. Just I'm happy with what I have. We'll just let it be.” They still wanted to send me a replacement awning. I said, “No, don't send it. If you send it, I'm going to keep it. I'm not going to send the other one back, and I'm not going to pay you any more money.” Eventually, they sent me a new fabric part of the awning that was the color that I originally ordered. I didn't want it. They sent it anyway, so it's on a shelf in my basement.
We were very happy with the awning. We use it. It does what we wanted it to do. But they were some of the most frustrating people to deal with that I have ever met in my life. And when I tried to call the company headquarters, they shoved me off to customer service again. A bunch of people that I had already talked to and didn't want to talk to again, because every time I talked to them, my blood pressure went up. They need to do something about their customer service.

The reps from SunSetter were very polite and answered a lot of my questions. They explained what they were going to do and where they were going to mount the awning. They were very good about that. I had a positive experience and the awning, which is electric, helps with the shade during parts of the day.

We ordered an electric-powered awning and SunSetter sent a manual one. The end cap was dented, and the awning was six inches too short. Then, we ordered a certain fabric and they sent the wrong one. They tried to make us, the buyer, at fault for the wrong fabric, and we eventually settled on a fabric that we chose. On one side, it was dark, and on the other side, it was light. Another trip was a defective light strip. It had a light strip on one side that worked fully. It's a two-piece light strip and on the other side, only one of the two parts works. The reps came out multiple times and held us up for a couple of weeks. We didn't get the awning completely installed like we wanted to for a month. Every time they came out, they were missing something.
I tried to discuss with Katie, the dealer-distributor, compensation and she said she would give us $300 off. There was never any extra for customer frustration. I suggested a pro bar, which goes on the end of the awning and you can manually crank up and down a shade. It was about $1,500, and she rejected my idea. Jamie, the rep working in the office, was fantastic. But her hands were tied. After about six or seven trips, the reps finally got everything right. It took about three months, but the subcontractor did the job to the best of their ability. These people and Jamie worked their butts off trying to get customer satisfaction. And once they corrected everything, the awning now works fantastic.
SunSetter sent me a shade, but I don't hold the pro bar with it. I even suggested to Katie that we make a deal at a discount for a pro bar but she said no. I realized that for a product, like any business, it's dollar and cents. But as compensation, she could have discounted a pro bar and had somebody come down here to install that. But the awning is beautiful. SunSetter does put out a good product. The price could be less but I understand that I'm buying a very high-name-brand awning. It’s like a comparison of a Cadillac to a Ford or Chevy. You are paying for the name and quality. We put on a SunSetter awning because we just reinstalled a new composite deck. In the advertisement, SunSetter says it lowers the temperature with the awning out. And it does.

The awning was expensive, but it's been durable, and we're happy that we got it. We've had family around and have used it for sitting outside the patio.

I was familiar with SunSetter and one of our neighbors had an awning installed. These made me decide to have two awnings installed one year and then we had another one installed the following year. The functionality is very good. Once in a while, the awning will start to go out and then retract, and I have to push the remote again to get it to go out. But it’s not a huge problem.
We bought the awnings primarily because we have a lot of windows facing out towards the lake, and we were getting too much solar gain into the house. Before, we'd have trouble controlling the temperature inside the house. Without air conditioning, the temperature is the same inside the house as it is outside. The awnings are very effective. We live in upstate New York, so during the summer, temperatures range from 80 to 85, and the house never goes above whatever the outside temperature is. Then, the air conditioning can easily compensate if we need it to be on. The awnings did exactly what we were hoping they would do.

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.

He did his job well. We got a motorized awning with a remote control and I liked it enough that I called back the same fellow to buy some for my sister who lives nearby. His name is Junior and he came and put the awning up. I had a question and when he called back, he answered the question, then I took care of it. He did well.

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.

Generally, we had a positive experience with SunSetter Awnings. The motorized awning was purchased for my mother, a senior citizen. She's 84 years old and I was overseeing her. As much as I told her, “They're going to come in. They're going to give you a quote. Don't worry about it,” there was a little bit of, “Oh, you can save $200 if you sign right now.” I said, “Mom, you don't need to save $200 right now.”
We were also a little uncertain about SunSetter's relationship with the salesman (the person who came out) then their relationship with the installer. It took a while to figure that out. It wasn't transparent and it took a couple of phone calls. I would have liked that to be made a little more transparent. Other than that, in terms of the product, the cost and the work quality, those were all fine.

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.

It was also easy to find my way around it. Considering that I'm not online that often, it still worked out well. Then SunSetter followed up and sent me brochures. I was able to get the colors, patterns and all the information that way. I told them I did a room edition and set it up for a 20-foot-wide awning. They turned around and gave me all the info that I needed.
I also told them I needed to know what they had to offer as far as payment terms without interest. They had a plan that worked out well for me. It came in right where I wanted to be. They broke it up into five payments and automatically took it out. Shipping came out a little ahead of schedule and the two shippers were able to drop it right back to where I needed it. I did the installation myself with a couple of friends. Before I had any help, I looked at the instructions and put all the brackets in place. The brackets were a really nice bracket system. I'd never put anything like that up myself but I was able to do it. That saved me thousands of dollars. Before I did this, I got a quote from a company who wasn't gonna use SunSetter and it was actually twice the money that I spent.
On the day we were gonna take it out of the shipping container and put it up, I had a couple of extra hands and it popped right in place. We tightened everything down. I already had my outlet right next to where it needed to be. We plugged it in, pressed the button and ran it out. It ran out smoothly. We ran it back in and it's been great ever since. I am happy with the quality of the awning. It's electric but it also has a manual control for it. Having the awning has been great with the grandkids.

Our awning is motorized and, knock on wood, it's been really good. We've sure enjoyed it.

SunSetter's rep, Sarah, did a great job and the awning that I purchased through her is fantastic. We came to SunSetter because of their reputation and we've been wanting to get their awning for many years. Finally, we had the money and we decided to do it. I put the thing on the website because I wanted information. Then Sarah called back immediately. She scheduled the appointment for them to come and there was no waiting. She was very responsive. Usually, you get the runaround from companies but Sarah said she'd be here when we were available. So, that happened very quickly and when she came to our house, she explained everything. She answered every question that we had and she wasn't pushy. It wasn't your usual sales pitch, where there'd be obnoxiousness from the reps.
So, we got a date of when she thought the awning would be in and she even gave us the phone number of the guy, Tony, that was going to install it, because she wanted us to have that right away. 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. She bent over backwards to get Tony here to get our awning installed. He was here late at night, around 8 o'clock, installing it and it was getting dark out. Sarah made it happen and we were very happy.

I bought a brand-new home and had a SunSetter awning built there. The installers ended up not taking much time to install it. They were smart. They offered options, but we didn't choose any of them there. We have a beautiful patio with a beautiful awning above it. The patio is a stone patio with nice pillars around it. When you extend the awning, it's perfect because it's like a ceiling of a house. It makes it feel like home. It's nice that you can push a button, and it goes in and out easily. Also, we have a nice pond in the back and it sets the whole backyard up nicely, better than anything else could go up there. We had no rips, tears, or anything else in it. Buy it. It's the perfect product. It works great. I wouldn't buy anything else.

I recently replaced my old SunSetter awning, and the size and model of the new one is the same as what I had previously. I live in Arizona, so I use it when the heat comes. I don't usually use it in the winter time because I don't need it. I love the functionality of the SunSetter product that's why I continue buying it. I've also recommended it to my neighbors because several of them came over and looked at it.

We've had Sunsetter products in the past. We had to take down several of our trees in our backyard that gave us shade. We needed a solution, and going with SunSetter worked out well. We got a beige awning with some stripes in it. The colors are nice, and the quality seems great. It has a remote, a wind sensor, and the extra fabric that comes down and blocks the sun. Everybody likes it. It has been great so far. I would highly recommend it.

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'm not impressed with SunSetter Awnings. I bought an awning last year and I had nothing but problems between the delivery and a broken part. They were supposed to let me know when the awning was coming, but they showed up and wound up dropping it in the driveway. It was a 19-foot thing that needed two people to carry it. That started it all, then the broken part that I didn't figure out until I got the thing up in place. They made me send pictures. They didn't come. I did everything over the computer and took pictures of the broken part.
I wanted them to send me a motor to replace the broken end on the current motor and they made me pay for it. It was brand-new and I never even used it. That pissed me off. 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. They don't care when they send the stuff out, then after that, they got my money. They didn't take care of what I wanted and it should have been.

Due to brand recognition for quality, I purchased an awning from SunSetter. It's the electric retractable one with the cover that covers the unit when it retracts. When it goes up, the size is 10 feet, and it performs flawlessly. I installed it myself. I had the wrong brackets, initially ordered, but they shipped me the correct ones for the height that I needed. It's extended daily in the summer and I would recommend it to my neighbors.

I would recommend SunSetter Awnings. I like their website. I got enough idea of what the product is. Everything was done by custom order. It took four weeks to prepare it because of the colors and size. When they came, they did it nicely. Everything was organized, and there are no complaints. I like everything about the awning. It shades us from the sun. It looks good, works well and is reliable. I bought the Platinum level with their 15 years warranty, and I have nothing to worry about. I had a good experience.

We have a deck on the back of our house that faces west and gets blasted with sun and heat every afternoon in the summertime. My mom, who is 91, loves to sit out there but you can't even use it from noon till about 6 o'clock. We needed a solution and umbrellas weren't cutting it. So Sunsetter was the answer. It was super easy to purchase from them but when the awning arrived, it had a hole in it. Our installer noticed that right away and got us a new one in a matter of days, and then came back and installed it. It's easy to use. Just press the remote, it opens up, and then press the remote again, it closes. It doesn't make any noise.

We got the SunSetter salesman to come out and show us what they offered because of the retractability of their awning, then the color of the awning, and the ability to do it on a timely manner. The lighting was probably the got-you moment that he said, "Yeah, we can light the underneath of your awning." So, that allowed us to be able to use that space in the evening. There were a couple of times when I called the salesman, and he was back. The installation team specifically wanted to know what I was going to do relatives are putting electricity in and things of that nature. They made sure that the house could support the awning. Then, when they actually came out and did the installation, the installation team said that they could get it done in about two hours, and they actually did. They were here, got it done, and we were happy.

SunSetter had the most consistently high ratings, so I went with them. I wanted something that would go the width of my patio, which was quite long. I wanted something that matched the furniture that I already had. I purchased a burgundy striped awning that has the automatic sensor, and I have the drop-down screen. 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.

I purchased a window shade for outside my porch. I sit in the porch and use the computer and needed something that would block the sun but not on the inside of the window. This solar power shade with remote was the perfect solution! I was very pleased with it initially, it did exactly what I needed it to do. Unfortunately after several months I couldn't get it to come down. Salesperson came and made adjustments and it worked for a short while but stopped again. I have requested a replacement. The other unfortunate thing is it takes a really LONG time to get the product, initially and now as well. I have been waiting for the replacement over a month.
