Our safari with SunSetter awnings started on 4 April 2022, with two mechanized awnings; one 4' X 7' and one 13' X 18'. They arrived about two months later and the 18' was dropped from the delivery truck and bent. Installers said it wasn't bent. However, when operating, it was obvious the big tube was bent. I contacted the retailer and got into the biggest denial storm one can imagine. I contacted the company, sought resolution and got it. A new tube was installed and everything worked fine.
About three months later I noticed the middle seam had separated. I sent more photos and got into another denial storm from the retailer. Again, I forwarded photos to the manufacturer and they sent a new awning to the retailer. Yet again, I got into a shouting match with the retailer representative, who again tried to make it my fault, after the manufacturer said the roller support tore the awning. We received the third awning on 4/20/23. The manufacturer rep recommended the support be moved about one foot from the awning seam. It wasn't, and about six extensions and retractions later my wife noticed a small tear along the seam. Again, I notified the manufacturer and have received no help. Now $10,000 later, and the only one working is the 4' X 7'. My advice: Don't buy through the Ocala retailer! Perhaps another manufacturer has better retailers in any case. I tire of paying $150 for every 'house call', whether work is done or not!
We are very sorry to hear about the difficulties you recently experienced with trying to contact an installer for your awning. We certainly take your concerns seriously and would like to offer you a few options to get your awning installed. Since you purchased the awning directly from SunSetter it is considered a DIY project. We can provide you with information for an independent installer to work with in your area. These are independent companies, and they will bill you directly for their services. Another option is for to enlist the help of family or friends to install it yourself. You may call our Toll-Free Installation Hotline: 1-800-876-2340. We have experts on hand who will help homeowners of all skill levels put up their own awnings.

The rep was very helpful and explained everything from top to bottom. The awning was installed within two weeks, which was quick, and the quality is very good. SunSetter had different incentives. We ended up getting a free retractor when the wind blows up, which was an extra that they threw in.

Everyone was cordial and I appreciated them. The installers did a great job. They laid their stuff out and cleaned up afterwards. They touched up the frame of the awning with paint and gave us instructions on how to use the remote and which screws we had to adjust if we had to pivot it up. We like how the awning looks. But based on the way that the sun goes down at the back of our house, I thought we would get a little bit more shade than what we are getting.

The installers were very courteous and conscientious and they did a really good job. The awning they installed is 18 feet wide and 10 feet extended. It's striped and it's automatic. We like it a lot.

The rep was very thorough in explaining what the awning did. The techs came to install it right away and it works great. They completed the installation in less than two hours. We're very happy with the retractable awning. If you're looking for an awning, then you ought to consider the SunSetter.

Working with the rep was very positive and the timeline for installation was very good. It took six weeks which was very doable for us. The quality is great and the awning is working really well. If you need an awning, SunSetter is a good one to go with.

I needed something here for our new house and used SunSetter. I had them before. Everything went fine with the installation. The awning keeps the sun out. SunSetter is very good.

I had always wanted an awning and in the last house I lived in, one couldn't be installed because of the height involved. This house that I just moved to had the perfect height for it, so I was excited. I had SunSetter come and assess in my former home and I liked their overall manner and honesty so I went with them when I did it out here. The installers were fabulous. They were bright and capable, and spoke English. It was excellent. The awning is motorized and has lights on it. I’m very happy with it. I would recommend SunSetter. They did a good job when they came to assess in the beginning. They were prompt and efficient. Everything about it was good.

The SunSetter awning is not as good as I thought it would be. I'm not happy at all because I barely use it. The only time I can use it is when the sun is directly over and it's not over very long because it's in the back of my house and that's when the sun sets and it comes in the side. Also, I'm not happy with the price. It's false advertising. I wasn't happy with the salesman because he kept saying that I was lying when I said it was 1,700. It says that right on TV you can get them as low as 1,700. He said they don't have anything like that. But I'm wondering if he overcharged me. 4,400 is a lot of money just for that. He said if I don’t make up my mind, he couldn’t give me the same deal. I don't like to be pressured like that either. I didn't like him at all. But the guy that installed the awning was a nice guy and did a good job.

I contacted SunSetter and they sent somebody out in two days. They gave me a price to replace the awning that I had. It was a price that was affordable for me, so I went with it. They gave me a delivery time that it could be done and they did everything they said. It was perfect. The guys who came out for the installation were good and knew what they were talking about.

Our backyard in the afternoon gets really hot. We thought the SunSetter would cover our whole backyard, but it doesn't. When we roll it down in the afternoon, there's still sun in the backyard. The sun seems like it comes right underneath, and we still get sun on the concrete. My wife said it was a waste of my money. But we had a great experience with the team while purchasing it. The installation team showed us how it would work. But my wife said they didn't let us know about the way the direction of the sun. They just told her there would be shade.

SunSetter Awnings answered some questions, submitted what we wanted, and directed us to an installer. Ours is the largest awning. It has the motion detection and the color is mushroom. It matches our home well. The other option that was offered to me was the bronze trim, which is an extra in some installers. But it was available and we got it. And it makes a big difference. The installers kept in touch with me about when they were coming. And when they got here, they were pleasurable gentlemen. They did what they needed to do, and in a very timely manner. They were neat. And the installation was flawless. They did instructional and made sure everything worked properly, asked if we had any questions. The installers had trouble getting matching flashing, but they accomplished that. It was a very nice experience. The awning is expensive but worth it.

I wanted something automatic, push a button and go in and out. SunSetter was more reputable so I chose their awning. Purchasing it went pretty smoothly. It was a good experience. My awning is beige and it's 16 by 13. A contractor was hired for the installation and he was awesome. He set that thing up in less than an hour. He cleaned up too. He had to come back later and install the LED lights. That was cool. The lights are on the arms when the awning folds in and out. The light is bright and it's like daylight back there on the porch. I can enjoy it longer especially in the wintertime because that's when I'm down there the most. I can stay out there when it gets hot a little longer as well. Get a SunSetter. I love mine.

The sales rep of SunSetter had samples and we took them outside. We undid them from his binder and we held them up to the house and they were good. I liked that the awning was attached to the roof. It has an automatic remote control. We just push a button and it comes down. We also like the vertical shade that comes down from the awning. The installation was very good. He took the time to show us, and then we got to operate the controls ourselves. He watched as we tried it out. Our kitchen is attached to the deck that the awning is on, and it's making our kitchen cooler, also.

I like their price. The sales rep was really good. He was excellent. Gave us all the information that we had looked into. Our contractor installed it, but then we were having problems with the motor. So we had some install guys come by to look at it, and they were awesome. We're very well pleased with the quality of the awning as well.
Reviewed June 17, 2023
I had to follow up with them for install dates after they have received the awning on hand. They didn't call me. But that would be more of the install people than SunSetter specifically. When they did the installation, they showed up on time. They pretty much asked me where I wanted it to make sure it was proper with the specifications that it was ordered. They proceeded to then try to mount the awning and drill holes in my house and realized that they weren't going to hit the studs. So they had to move the location, and then left holes in my house. But the guys were nice and polite.

I had an awning for about 20 years and it finally gave in. I got a new one from SunSetter and everything was fine. I gave them a phone call to the phone number that was on the internet and they got me somebody in the area that was a dealer, then they made an appointment and came out to see me and everything went from there. The only thing is it showed on the internet all these things like a gas grill and the lights and stuff that were included for free, but when I got mine, I didn't get anything like that and I couldn't figure out why. So, I called them and they said because it was a dealer and not the direct business. I spent over $5,000 and it was $830 for installation and labor, which I didn't mind. Then, I see again on the internet about all this free stuff that you can get if you just call. I thought, "Well, I called, but I didn't get anything like that."
The best part was the gentleman that came with the awning. He was very good. I was very pleased. He had a young man working with him. So, they got everything done that was required for two people. The young man had a little boy and he had something that needed to be done concerning with his son. So, they got everything done that would involve the two of them, and then the other gentleman, he could do it then himself. So, I really appreciated that they have a little bit of care and concern for other people, and that they do have a life too other than their job. I did appreciate that he did everything that was required before the young man left to go take care of his little boy.

SunSetter Awnings went above and beyond what they had to do. They had a little problem with my electrical outlet that was dead there. And they searched and found out what the problem was and fixed that for me. I'm 80 years old, I was a little cloudy on the instructions, and they went over them until I understood them. They were good guys. And in the whole installation, they found that my sump pump was not working correctly and they told me about that. Experience was great. Go to these people that I used.

With what's been happening with my build in the past two years, SunSetter is the only ones that have come through with doing exactly what they told me they were gonna do, and I am enjoying it immensely. Everything went smoothly with the gentleman who came out and gave me the information. He did the measurements. He gave me all the information that I needed to know. Overall, the SunSetter team was very informative. We seem to have gotten along really fine. The installation went smoothly. They came in, put the awning up, gave me the information, and told me how to maintain it. It went like clockwork. I use the awning down all the time. I got a 12x12 new deck that was put in that needed cover. Everything else is under cover. I use it for entertaining. I used to sit out in the afternoon, having a drink with friends, and that's how I use it. I would tell others to go with SunSetter because it's worth the money.

I had a horrible experience with SunSetter. They sent me to Suncraft, who, with their installer The Awning Boys, are not doing their work. The awning doesn't work the way I paid for it and what's most frustrating is I can't deal with anybody. The salesperson was terrific but the second the sale was made, she disappeared on me and won't communicate with me. One of my prerequisites was I had to be able to operate this device on my mobile phone. She said they have this wonderful system called Somfy and I paid $250 for it but they never got it set up. There are problems with it and no one seems to know anything about how to get it working.
Also, I bought a roll down part of the shade for another added cost and that's not working. They came out once but didn't fix it. All I've done is try to contact SunSetter and I get offshore. I finally dealt with Americans who I could understand and who I hoped would resolve the issue. I got a supervisor who told me they would follow up. There's no direct number to call anybody. I'm still waiting for a potential callback that was supposed to happen yesterday. It is the worst experience I've had in 61 years on the planet and I've done a lot of home improvements. I love the product but their service sucks.

The rep from SunSetter was very pleasant and prompt. We had to wait to get approval because we had to submit to a certain process with our HOA. Once we got that, he had to order it. There was a little bit of a waiting period for him and then, he came. His workmen were very prompt in terms of when they said they would show up. They weren't there that long and their work was done neatly.
We only had so many options that were allowed with the HOA. The back of our home faces south, so we need some protection in the afternoon. So, it is what it is. We're pleased with the purchase. The LED lights are extremely bright though. It would be nice if they could dim lower but once you get to a certain light intensity, they just shut off. So, that's probably the one thing that I don't like. They could be dimmer for our liking at night. I'm happy that the feature is there. In case I sell the home, I can say there are lights out here as well. But in terms of personal usage, we'll probably just accent the deck with some of the light.

We wanted more shade on our deck so we got an awning from SunSetter. We liked the name and the quality. The sales rep was good. The people that came and installed the awning was quick. The only thing is we got one balance that was wrong, but they're fixing that. We ordered additional parts, too. I ordered the metal awning, the metal cover and side panels. So, they're gonna come all at once and do it.

We're good with SunSetter other than they keep sending us emails, offering us discounts. We can get a free grill if we do it. But we've already got a SunSetter and we didn't get anything free. We spent almost $5,000. It's an expensive and pretty product. We get lots of compliments on it. But you see this white cord hanging. It has to be seen from where the plug is. It's on the same side, but it's way up there. I would think that there'd be a way of hiding that. Also, the plug takes up so much room that we can't use the other outlet without using an extension cord to put in it.

SunSetter's rep, Mike, was excellent and he didn't waste time. He laid out all the things I needed to know and answered all my questions. When I called for different things before they even put my awning in, the person who answered the phone was excellent as well. Then, two guys came out for the installation and they installed it when they said they would. They were very nice and very professional. They did exactly what they were supposed to do and there was no chit-chat or messing around. They were really good and they cleaned up after themselves. I've also loved the awning ever since. It's electric and has a blue-grayish stripe of color. It looks beautiful. In fact, we had company last week and they were completely taken aback because it has lights and we also have a fire pit. We were out there at night and it was great.

We originally ordered a retractable SunSetter awning back in March and we were told that it could be four weeks or so before the awning came in and before the installers could come out and install it. So we had a time line, but the time line came and went with no awning. When we called, they said the manufacturer was moving from Massachusetts to Texas, so they were experiencing a delay. We waited a couple of weeks, then we called the provider back and they said our awning arrived, but one of the arms was bent, so they were going to reorder
About a month later, they called and said that they didn't know where the replacement was. They said they happened to have an awning in the same color, but not with all the same options that we had ordered. So they offered to come out and put that one in as interim while we were waiting. The temporary awning was installed three weeks ago and so far, it works. I'm also happy to have an awning. But when I called them to ask about the status of my order, they told me that supposedly, it was shipped on May 30th. I haven't called them back since then and I don't know how long it takes to ship. But right now, we're still waiting for the arrival of the awning we ordered.

I was very pleased with SunSetter. The team that came out was excellent. They jumped in there and had the awning put up within an hour. However, I didn't like that it came with an 18-foot cord and they had to run it up to the top of my overhang then run it down 'cause there was already an electrical outlet there. Also, it took quite a while. I thought it was gonna be four to five weeks before they came but it was ten. The guy did not call me. I called him because I paid half of it down, where I had to pay the other half when they installed, which was what we did. Apparently, he had to come in the next day. He said that there was slow shipping.

The installers weren't here more than an hour and a half so they made it easy. So many times, when you get something in your house, it becomes a pain. To get it installed, and then something's wrong and they need to come back. But that was not the case. This was a perfect installation. We love our SunSetter awning. Everything seems to be in good working order at this point and I didn't even know how much we needed it. This awning gives us almost an additional room on our house. That's how nice it is.

The rep from SunSetter came out to the house and showed us samples, and the installers who came were good. I sat and watched them all the time, and I'm satisfied with the awning. It's good so far. However, I'm dissatisfied with the $700 price. It's not worth that much money. Four years ago, I could buy that for half that. Also, in my area, the average wind is about eight miles an hour and we get gusty stuff. The awning sticks out 13 feet, and I've thought about putting a support by the pool here and it would come in and out. As I put the awning out, I would just clip it in the groove and that would help it from jerking if the wind blew. Because even though they have the monitor on there, if you get a big gust, by the time the monitor says too much wind, it could rip the awning right off the house.

I dealt with the owner of the branch that did the installation of my SunSetter awning and when he came out, he gave me a quote. He also brought a book of all the choices for the materials and there were samples, so you could feel them. He explained the differences between different types of materials, and their pros and cons. We agreed to move forward, then I got a call from a woman from the office who scheduled the appointment for the installation. After that, the installers showed up as scheduled and the work was completed. They came when I wasn't available, which was fine with me. But by the time I got home, everything was installed and cleaned up. There were no issues and so far, the awning is good.

I got online and put in my name and email address, and then I was contacted by Archer, a guy in Ohio from the SunSetter distributor. Then they sent a fellow out, and I sat down and talked with him, and ended up purchasing an awning. He was very nice and he seemed knowledgeable enough. The only complaint I had was that after I purchased it and I gave him half down, it took about eight weeks before it was installed.
About three weeks into the process, I got an email from SunSetter and they said I could get a free grill and wind sensor and $300 off. So I called over the distributor and they said there was nothing they could do. I already did the purchase. But the information that I received about the offer wasn't from the distributor. It was from the SunSetter. I had been on their website, so they were trying to encourage me to purchase. But that was never in the table to take advantage of the discounts that they offered. The installation crew's work ethic was good. They worked hard at it. I like the awning. It doesn't take as much breeze as I thought it would. I'm afraid of it rocking around. Also, I don't like all the cords that are hanging around. I wish they'd have hardwired it.

Purchasing the SunSetter awning from the dealer was a very positive experience. The fellow came out and went through the options and the different fabrics. He was very polite and kind. During the installation, the main fellow, Jim, and his coworker arrived a little bit early. My husband was here and showed them where everything was going and got the garage open so they could get to the awning. They were super polite, great to work with, very informative and showed us all the things that we needed to do or be aware of. They have an annual cleaning service that they provide which I was super grateful to hear about, so I told them to put me on their call list. They make sure that there's no mold and mildew and my impression was there's a protective type cleaner on it and it helps the fabric last longer. They check on the mechanics of it and make sure everything looks like it's working well.
We got a 14-feet long awning and the deepest extension you could get, which was 11 ft. We went with the plain colors and it’s very close to the color of our house so it blends in. It’s very complementary and it was a lot of money. But we love our awning. We put it out almost every day. We didn't have to leave the awning out all winter long. It could roll up against the house and we only roll it out when we need it. It's fabulous.

I purchased a very expensive umbrella, and then it wasn't gonna work, and I thought, “Rather than spend that much for it, I'm gonna look into getting one of those awnings." All my neighbors here have SunSetter, and that's what I ended up with. The SunSetter team was really awesome. I was totally pleased. There are not many purchases that I make that I'm super happy with, but this is one of them that I have been. They had sent a salesman out because I had no idea what these things ran. I didn't know if it was gonna cost me $2,000 or $5,000. So, they sent a person out here, and it was more money than I had wanted to spend. Then he said, “Well, we have one in stock.” It wasn't the style and size I wanted. I initially said yes. Then when the kid left, I called the company and I got the owner. I said, “I don't wanna get something that I'm not gonna be completely happy with.”
He said, “Well, I'll give you the one you actually want for that same price.” That was what he did, which was really super nice of him. The installers were very professional. I have one of these big heavy Polywood swings, and I had it off to the side so that they could do the work and stuff, and they picked it up and put it in place for me when they were done. So, that was really nice, too. Every day, it's over 70 degrees. I'm sitting out on my swing with that awning over me. I get the east sun so I couldn’t do that in the morning and I'm not a hot weather person. So, I could never sit out there before two o'clock in the afternoon. Now, I sit out there every day. So, it's great. I'm very happy with the product and the service. I would recommend going with the company that I purchased my awning from.

The salesperson from SunSetter who came out seemed knowledgeable. He was a good person and that was one of the reasons why we went with them. Their price was good, too. The installation went well but they didn't put the awning exactly where I wanted them to, so I may have them come out and move it a little bit. Other than that, the awning provides shade and it's doing what I wanted it to do. But I was expecting something a little more attractive when they were rolled up. SunSetter should have versions that are more expensive, but would look better. They're called a cassette where it rolls up and hides the whole thing better. But it was my fault because I just assumed that what I ordered was a cassette type and I never really asked for a picture of what it was going to look like when it was installed. And SunSetter didn't offer various types. But I'm still happy with them.

I heard that Sunsetter was a good company, and they proved to be a good company. The rep was a very nice man. He came out and showed us everything that we needed to look at. He showed us colors and gave us his opinion on some of the different things that we didn't need that we thought we needed. He steered us away from getting too much on it that we wouldn't use. The installation was great. They came in, told us what they were gonna do, and within two and a half hours at the most, they had everything done and were explaining the remote to me. We thought they were ridiculous saying that it would lower the temperature by 10 to 20 degrees when you put the awning out, but it actually does lower the temperature quite a bit.

The crew that came to install did a good job. They came in and did what they needed to do. They were thorough. We got the one with the lights, the remote, and the wind sensor. However, I don't know what wind speed would trigger it. I've had it half open and I'd see the flags and the trees blowing but it was not closing.
We ordered the scalloped valance but got the straight balance. I texted the rep and let him know and he said he hadn't heard about it. I just gave up on it. It says on there get exactly what you ordered but I didn't. The straight valance is not a deal breaker but because they advertise that you get what you want, shouldn't I get a little bit of discount? Also, five days after we placed the order, I got let go from my job. My daughter said, "Call them and see if you can cancel the order." I called them and the rep said he'd call the manufacturer then he'd call me back. He called me back the same day and he said, "Unfortunately, they've already made the frame. They're waiting on the fabric. The only way for you to cancel it would be to give me 25%."

We were gonna get an awning up in New York, but my house wasn't configured right, then we moved to North Carolina. We have a nice large patio, and we needed something to cover it. To build a screen room was a lot more expensive, so we decided to go with an awning. The SunSetter team was fantastic. They suggested a different way to the way I wanted it mounted, and it looks much better than I visualized. They have a lot of experience. They knew exactly how to mount it and they had it centered just right. I'm very meticulous and these guys said, "Don't worry, we're very meticulous too." It was perfect. About a week later, they passed by, knocked on the door and said, "We're in the neighborhood. We just wanna make sure everything's adjusted right." They came back here and made a couple of adjustments without me even calling them. They were very good.
We have a lot of sun in the back, and when we go outside, we put the awning out. We'll eat outside during the day, and we roll it up if we're not outside. The only thing that was weird about it is when it closes up, it makes a clunk. We found these little white rubber bumpers, so I tacked one on each arm, and when it closes, it just taps the rubber bumper. It's dead quiet now. Aside from that, the awning is very handy, and I like it. I would definitely recommend SunSetter. I thought it was gonna be a flimsy awning, but the materials are really nice. I can feel this material is gonna last for 10 years. It's so thick.

Our Sunsetter Awning was installed in 2019 in a home in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The SECOND motor needs to be replaced at a cost of approximately $600 w/o installation. At best, we open the awning 20 times a summer. We've just been told that we should have covered the motor to protect it from the weather (first time we heard this recommendation).

Overall, I was not happy. The awning they installed at my house has a very short cord. They had to bring another guy to have an extension cord and put it outside. They told me SunSetter doesn't provide longer cords, which for the outdoor is a little bit cumbersome because not everywhere in the house you have an outdoor outlet. They connected a few parts of the cords, taped it and installed it like that. I told the guy who installed it that it was not acceptable to me and he had to fix it. I contacted the guy who I bought the awning from. They were his team. I said, "I don't accept it. It has to be changed. It's a very dangerous thing that they put in there." Finally, he sent another person yesterday and fixed that problem.
Another issue I had with it was the size that he measured for the awning is small and doesn't cover the sun the way I wanted it. I bought two awnings, one was a small one and a bigger one. When I saw the small one doesn't cover the sun the way I want it, I told the guy I didn't want the big one. He never put it in my house. They took it back. I am wondering how do I get my money back. I paid him half, and I was supposed to pay another half after the installation. Now, the small one is installed, but the big one is not.

My experience with SunSetter was a little rocky in the middle. When I met with the agent, he was great, very kind, pleasant, and full of knowledge and information. I picked my awning, made the order, and paid the first part of it. Then, we had some issues. For whatever reason, it took a long time to get the product. He originally told me it would be maybe five to six weeks after I purchased it and I ended up calling six weeks after I purchased it to see when could I expect them to set it up.
First, I was told they would check on it but no one called me back. I ended up having to call them. Then, I was told that I should have been notified already because it was in the warehouse and that someone would call me the next week. Still, no one did. It was a lot of me having to call them in the middle of this process. Finally, I did get the product. I was told that there was some hang up with shipping to the warehouse.

I had a bad experience with SunSetter many years ago on a mooring cover for my boat. And then they were very helpful then and resolved it. I got an awning recently and the company did a nice job with the installation. So far, the awning is of good quality. I have issues with the installation company that I'm working on. There's an issue with the wind sensor. A gust of wind came up that wasn't really strong and it went wild. It fluctuated at least three feet up and down before it started coming in. The installation company didn't know what to do. The tech said, “We have to buy an aftermarket wind sensor. And we'll see somehow if we can mount it.” I said, “All right. This doesn't sound right, but do what you gotta do.”
I decided to contact SunSetter customer service directly and they sent me the instructions on how to reset the wind sensor. I then contacted the installation company and I told them, “I got the information about how to adjust it.” They didn't know that that even existed. I wanted them to come and adjust it. Now, I'm waiting and I'm not satisfied with this company at all that’s installing for SunSetter. I don't know how SunSetter scrutinizes the companies that do their installation, but I would not recommend the company that I used. If I had a friend that wanted to buy an awning like mine, I would tell them to contact SunSetter directly to find a company that SunSetter recommends.

I didn't really care for SunSetter's sales methodology and I think I overpaid by a couple thousand dollars. When the young man came to my house and measured, we talked through things. He may have been new but it was a ridiculously high price point and I didn't really understand all of the words. In the end, I went ahead and accepted their offer. But if I would have had more information, I would have gotten a different size of the awning and I would have gotten the drop-down screen that goes in the front. Because I went out and bought a canopy thing, like a camper RV sliding thing, to Velcro to the front bar so that you don't get blinded with the sun that comes underneath the awning.
A few days after I made my purchase, I started getting all of these emails from the SunSetter parent company offering me all these coupons. They already signed the deal and it had been three days. When they called to schedule for an installation, I spoke to the lady, the owner, and I told her that I kept getting all these incentives. I told her that I wanted the grill and that I know I overpaid for my awning. So, they sent me a charbroil grill still new in the box. But it's too big for where I wanted it, so I'm going to be selling it.
Other than that, the awning is great and I love it. It's heavy duty and it goes with the décor. The installer did a very nice job cutting into the siding and anchoring it to the side of my house. And he worked really hard to blend the electrical wire into the edges of the siding. You can still see it if you look, but it's not horrible. The awning cools the back of my house down now that I have the screen hanging from it to cover the windows when it's closed. The wind sensor works really well, too. I had it open when I was down below in the yard and all of a sudden, I heard it turn on. So, it moved on its own and that was cool.

I looked at SunSetter's pricing range and they called me back probably within 15 minutes when I just putting an online request. It was quick. They came out and gave me estimates for free. The rep brought a sample book out with the material and showed us the different samples and the actual colors, so that we knew it was gonna go well with the house color. He gave me the price and he took all these measurements. They were so easy to deal with. I was somewhere when they installed it. I said, "I have a vacation scheduled. But you can go and install it while I'm gone if you want." I got cameras on my back porch. I can see what I want. They installed it the day or so after we left, and they took pictures and emailed them to me. Then we got home, got to use it ourselves, and we haven't had a problem with it at all.
The awning got stripes. They had a whole different pattern of different colors and different designs that you could have on it. So, we went through his book and we could feel the material. So, we selected what we got based on what we saw in the book. It's wireless, so I got a little remote control. I just control from inside the house but it also gives you a backup rod to reel it out, and if you lost power or you had a motor failure, you can still reel it in and out. We went with a 16 footer. We were thinking about 20 footer, but then there was a lot of weight out there. We live in a manufactured home. So, there was concern there.
SunSetter did a good job. I also have the type of downspouts that you never have to clean. Water drains through them. So, I don't have to worry about anything coming off my roof on top of it. We were looking at something that goes out far enough, and our awning goes out 10 foot, to also keep the sun coming in those windows as well. That does a good job. Out of caution, we make sure, when we leave, we have it pulled in. The only place they could improve is a bridge for the WiFi because I'm a techie. I'm retired IT and I control my lights and all that stuff, either verbal or on my phone while I'm gone. So, that would be a nice feature for it.

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

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

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

SunSetter's reps came out, gave us the estimate, and looked at where we were going to put the awning. We went through all the variations of different offerings that they had and we picked one. They were also very cooperative. They gave us a $200 discount, then some greater discounts came out after we ordered the awning, and they applied the discounts to the awning even though we ordered ours already. Then, they said it was going to take four to six weeks to get the equipment and it took about five weeks.
Three days later, they installed it. The two young men who came out told us exactly what they were going to do, how they were going to apply it and what would secure it to the roof. They showed us the tools they were going to be using and put the awning up in about four hours. Their work was really good. We use the awning almost every day. It's automatic and it takes the temperature down especially here where we are in Florida.

We went to a Regional Lawn and Garden Show, and there were a couple of different products like that represented. The gentleman they had working in the booth was a lovely gentleman who was in his retirement years, and he said to us that he got a SunSetter Awning for his home and liked it so much, he decided and offered to the owner of this local company, The Awning Team, to work with them. So, he made a really great impression and he made us feel like he was really credible. Plus, he spoke from personal satisfaction and that was a pretty strong testament to say he liked it so much, he thought he would enjoy introducing the product to other people and supporting it in the Charlotte region.
He had a great style of follow through, was willing to drive a long way to come look at our deck personally, spend time, measure, and walk through the fabric selection in our home. So the custom attention and service were part of why we purchased the SunSetter awning. And then, looking at The Awning Team, specifically, they had good reviews on Google. I did some research in that way, and comparing the SunSetter to other products similar in the Charlotte area that were for sale, they didn't seem to offer the same caliber or product, or they had a pitiful little showroom. So we went with it for those reasons, that it had some cool features that we liked, with the wind sensor and lighting.
The installation worked great, too. We got our scheduling a little off, so I would have liked to have been there the whole time, but I really only got to welcome the installers and leave. The owner and I were not on the same page as it related to my availability and that getting transferred to the install team. But everything was perfect from the quick overview I was able to get of it before the install was finished. And the guy seemed irritated. He had a little bit of an attitude when he got there, because he didn't realize how far it was and his GPS took him took to the wrong place. He was a little ill, and I was a little ill, but it worked out okay. The install guy was not as nice as the sales guy. But he did the installation well and the awning works fine.
The awing totally changed the feel of the back of our house. It covers the section outside our bedroom, outside some sliding glass doors, and it gives a different vibe for that space when it's open, with the shadiness. And I can grow different plants in that section of the deck that I couldn't grow before. It also looks beautiful from a distance, looking back at the house when the awning is up. We haven't gotten to use it just yet in the super hot summer, but we've had it installed for a couple months now, and we're very satisfied. They had lots of good choices for the fabric, the frame, and color. We also really like the remote control aspect. And it's a very sturdy and well-built product. They custom-built it based on our requests and it seems like an A+ product.

We just finished renovating this apartment and it is very sunny on one side, so we knew we had to do something. We googled around and SunSetter seemed like a very reputable company with a guarantee. They have these wind sensors on the awning and it seemed like it was a quality product. I called them to get more information and the woman that I spoke to was extremely friendly, super knowledgeable, and came across as very professional. She explained the ins and outs, what model to get, and how this wind sensor thing functioned and she sent me samples of the fabrics. She was very helpful and made it as easy as it could be. Then, she put me in touch with the local distributor.
There were two installers who came out and they were very professional. We had our contractor put metal within the wall itself that they were building the exterior wall because we were afraid that the wall would collapse once we attach the awning. The awning installers came before the awning was even delivered to look at the wall and make sure it was gonna be strong enough. They made sure that everything was gonna be okay.
We purchased a big automatic awning with the Somfy controller. We can put it in and out and we have three of them. We actually bought three of them. All of them have this wind sensor thing on it where they would automatically retract and not fly off the building when it's windy. We're on the 18th floor and we live in New York City.

Solar Easyshade works good until it doesn't. Purchased from Costco in Dec 2019. Solar Housing/Battery failed in April 2023. Product website states: “Our EasyShade models come standard with a manufacturer's 5-Year Limited Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For Solar-powered models, the solar panel assembly and battery pack are warranted for three (3) years.”
The rep I spoke with at Sunsetter reported that the solar panel typically lasts 3-5 years with a replacement cost $170.00. Additionally, the panel is extremely difficult to replace as the motor-connector wire attached to it is impossible to tuck in behind the panel, and keep it there when sliding the panel back onto the shade – the wire comes right back out as you slide the panel onto the housing. Poorly designed replacement product and frequent costly repair. Consider other alternatives before buying this shade as the solar option is clearly not practical for the average residential consumer.

There were three SunSetter Awnings installers. They had ladders. We had to get an electrical box on our roof. So, we had to hire someone to do that part up through our attic. But they got the box set up, and we were told that it was great. And it didn't take them long to do it. We stood in the yard watching them and they explained with the remote which way to go. And they said they had just put one in for someone else that was smaller and they liked it. The awning matches our siding. It looks nice.
Today, we had a new experience. We're on top of the mountain and it gets very windy. The awning closes when it's windy, and it has done that a couple of times. But we lost our electric and I thought, "Oh, no, what's it gonna do?" It closed up on its own. I had it halfway open and it closed. After we got our electric back, it opened up by itself again to where I had it set. I wish there was a way to have a side strip put on both sides to help block out the sun. We always get the morning sun. So, it's hard to sit out there to have breakfast because it's sunny. Even if we open our awning up all the way, it comes in from the left side. But we're very happy with it.

The sun pretty much all afternoon and into the evening shines right down on our pool and on our back porch. We wanted to cool it down some, so we thought an awning would work. I liked the quality and reviews for SunSetter. They were very well reviewed. As a little kid, I remember seeing their commercials too. We also had a friend that had gotten an awning from SunSetter. They live here in Arizona and they suggested it too. Price-wise, it was also comparable, if not a little bit lower.
Customer service listened to what my wife and I were looking for. The rep answered our questions. We’re very happy with what we got. The installer and his helper were fantastic. The guy took care of a lot of stuff because styrofoam and all the stuff were blown around. He vacuumed everything up. The awning looks really good and it functions well.

I wanted some shade on the back patio instead of using an umbrella. I went with SunSetter and when I went online, they said to find a dealer near me. I checked the dealer in Longmont. Tom was our guy from TCS Solutions and he brought out fabric samples and pictures and how it would look. It came with a motor. Everything was fine with getting the awning ordered. He told us it would take about six to eight weeks because they make them. That was all fine. When we never heard from him, we contacted him and he said, "Yes, I just did look into it. It is in Denver. The freight company needs to call you and deliver it to your house, then you call me I'll come and install it."
Another week or so went by and nobody called. I called SunSetter and they looked into it. They said it was in Denver. After another day or so, the freight company called and we arranged for delivery. The awning was delivered two weeks ago. Tom cancelled the first schedule because he had to have a medical procedure done. He started not calling me back. It was all great when Tom was out here selling us everything. But he wouldn't call back and I would call and call. He said we were too anxious. We spent $4,200 on this. We didn't want it sitting in our garage for two weeks.
We had a little bit of snow on Tuesday but it wasn't very much. I told Tom, "Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are going to be beautiful. I want it up by Easter," He said, "I'll try. I can't control the weather, and I can't control the fact that now I have colon cancer." I asked SunSetter, "Is there another dealer you can put me in touch with?" I talked to a lady and she said, "If you don't get it up this week, we will put you in touch with another dealer." But we still owed Tom money because we paid half down and the other half was due upon completion.
I started having my husband call Tom because he would always return his phone calls but not mine. Finally, he spoke to my husband and said he could install the awning. We ordered this awning on February 14th and the installation got completed Wednesday. I really don't want to ever have to deal with this dealer again. He said, "If you have any questions, any problems you call me." But I want to try to find someone else if there's any warranty work.
So far, the awning is good. This patio faces north so when the sun goes down in the evening, we still get the sun coming in on the west side. It goes down past the house across from us and then it's blocked. Tom told us that there is a screen that you can have hanging down from the side. That is another option. I was gonna go to SunSetter's website and see about that. Tom said the screen has to be taken off and put on every time because you can't roll up the awning with that screen on. That's a little tedious so I'm gonna see how it is without the screen. All in all, everything was fine, except for the freight company and the dealer. I asked Tom if there were other people on his team and it was just him and another guy. As far as the product, we're happy with it. It rolls in well and it has a remote. It's got the hood on it too.

So far, the awning is okay. When it's halfway out, it covers some deck chairs. When it rains, it will collect water in a pocket on one side of it. It literally fills the pocket up to where it gets quite deep and I have to take a broom and push it up for the water to spill out. It's only on one side that collects water like that.

I call AGAIN and get told no supervisor is available to speak to me (surprise, surprise) and there's nothing else support can do... I mean, what did they do in the first place? The way I finally got this resolved was by PAYING for executive email addresses and reaching out to them directly. This is not the way to treat customers, SunSetter.

We're on a lake and when we get off the lake, we want to sit on our screened-in porch. But with the doors open, the sun just bakes us. This will help us where it will give us more shade.

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

The installation experience was great. It was easy. On the other hand, getting the product to our house took us almost eight more weeks than was scheduled. The rep said it was due to the plant didn't have the material, so I said, "Well, if we can't get this, let's don't wait, let's get something else." We went with a different awning and the material on it feels more like a cloth. There's a motor that's part of the awning too.

Everyone was friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions. Working with them was a very good experience. The installation of of our SunSetter was super easy. The techs came when they said they were going to. They explained everything as they were doing it.

With SunSetter, I knew what kind of quality we're getting. My brother-in-law and I put the awning up. I've done some of the installs with my father-in-law a few times, so I pretty much knew what we were doing. I've noticed, and it's not really a SunSetter manufacturing problem, the remote and the way they sometimes don't work right out of the box. Other than that, it holds up pretty well.

SunSetter Awnings was a great company and the easiest to deal with. The price wasn't that much different from the other ones, but the company was outstanding. The installers showed up and finished when they said they would. They were so good that we've recommended them to various people. The people next door, I had them one put in. And my sister is gonna have one put in as replaced awning. Now we can sit out on the deck and not roast. We're so happy.

SunSetter had good response and they worked with me. They came out and gave me a fairly reasonable estimate. Nothing's cheap, but I thought they were good value. There were two guys who came for the installation. Then I had them come back out. There was an awning cover that I had and there was a bunch of screws, nuts and bolts. I called and said, “Listen. That thing isn’t gonna do me any good for the winter if I can't put it up.” So, they came out after that for a nominal charge. They put it on and they were professional as well. We enjoyed our awning. It was good shade and it looks like a nice product. We got it later in the season and I wanted to make sure we had it covered so it would stand the winter, and I made that happen. So far, we're quite pleased with it.

We had a couple of issues once we got some of the siding off but they were able to work around it and everything went fine. We use the awning every time we're out on the patio and it works real well.

The installers were really good and they were very courteous and respectful. Unfortunately, the SunSetter awning did not last. We have a lot of rain and wind and because it was made about a foot longer, it fell apart. I paid 5,200 for that thing and it wasn't worth 5,200 at all because the patio could've been built for less than that. Even though we're a military family, the awning was still way over my budget. Now, we're waiting for one of the pieces to come in to repair it and I don't know what that's gonna cost me. SunSetter is worth it but the price has gone up so much more than what it used to be.

Everything was pretty effortless. Sunsetter followed through and got the work done. There was a small tear in the awning, so they ordered a new one and brought that over in about a week later. It works great. The installers were good. In fact, he gave me his phone number and I had to call him once about using the remote. He answered his phone and helped me out with it. So they were very good with the instructions. I like the quality of the awning. Everyone likes it. My friends come over, and they're like, “Oh my gosh. So nice.” I had a good experience with Sunsetter and I'm real happy with the product.

We made the awning as long as I wanted it and got the color I wanted. We had a little problem with the installation at first because my son is in construction and they didn't use the right kind of caulking and he said, "This is indoor caulking. It's not for outside weather." He made them take it off and redo it. We had to put the awning on the roof because we couldn't put it where normal people put it. But we finally got it all done and they were very pleasant about it. They did it without any complaints.

The awning we got has a wind protector and it's automatic. It's got everything and I love it. We've been using it all summer and the quality is great. We sit out in the morning and the sun is very bright back there. It covers the back so we could sit in the summer and it's not so hot. I use it all day.
