Although there was miscommunication initially; Shade and Shield did a great job with a clean install and friendly staff. Thank you.

Courtney and Jenny were the best at keeping us updated on where our Shades were. Took about 3 months, they told us that from the beginning, to get our Shades but the finishing products were well worth the wait. We had 2 huge Shades placed on our lanai screens and it just makes all the difference in the world with keeping out the sun and rain. We love them and the company.and highly recommended them to everyone. They are very honest, thank you Courtney and Jenny for your honesty

On November 24, 2020 I had an appointment scheduled for a mechanical screen to be installed on my two lanai openings. The person who showed up to perform my estimate is the "Sales Manager" per her card she handed to me. I made it very clear to Courtney that I wanted to get this project scheduled sooner versus later. She assured me that she would personally email me my estimate either that night or at the latest, the next morning.
No estimate was emailed. a day later I called the home office and told the receptionist the importance of getting the estimate. The receptionist informed me that she would get my message to Courtney and that I would receive my estimate and a telephone call very shortly. Tomorrow will be exactly one week since Courtney was out to view my area and take her measurements. No estimate yet and no telephone call. I must say, the lack of customer service from this company makes me wonder how they actually stay in business.

We were looking for a product that would serve as a hurricane curtain on our condo lanai but would also serve as a sun screen and privacy screen. We found just that at Shade and Sheild. We were extremely pleased from the begining home estimate to the final installation and inspection. Everyone we dealt with were professional, on time and courteous. We especially liked the fact that we could, for an extra cost, lower or raise our three curtains remotely, since we travel. We would highly recommend this company!
