From start to finish, the communication was excellent, and they made the entire process easy and stress-free. > > We couldn’t be happier with the finished product. The quality and attention to detail really show, and we now have a space that we can enjoy year-round. We’ve already been using it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, family gatherings, and plenty of everyday relaxation. > > If you’re considering having a patio cover built, I highly recommend Affordable Shade. Great work, great communication, and great results! We absolutely love our patio! **★★★★★ — Bart Nelson, Aug. 2026** > Once the permits were secured the project went fast! We should have built a patio years ago . We find that we spend a lot of time outside with our family and friends now. The patio turned out beautifully. Thanks to the Affordable shade crew! **★★★★ — Dennis C, July 2026** > I do love my new shaded patio but it took a lot longer than expected. I realize they had other jobs but I think they could have made a better attempt to get to me and finish the job especially the electrical and final paint finishing that needed to be done. I looks great and it is very functional at a great price. I had other contractors quote me 2X the price for the same look and size that I wanted. **★★★★★ — Susan, July 2026** > Affordable Shade built a beautiful and much-needed patio cover for our homel We absolutely love having this cover and consider it money well spent. > Job well done, Affordable Shade. **★★★★★ — Felipe, April 2025** > Affordable Shade Patio Covers are a great team! They are excellent communicators and give you real information not promisory dates that will get you upset later during the process. I had 6 quotes from different companies and Affordable landed on lower middle.. They took care of HOA requirements, engineering designs and permits. The electricians they used were stellar and the finishers were incredibly meticulous on providing their best craftmanship. KC is really easy to work with and is willing to help with what you need such as mounting a TV! The team built a patio cover at my house. The longest wait time was getting permits. Once permits were acquired the groups showed up one by one and did their part. Framing took a few days but it was like an army of folks doing the work. The process was not over night but I am very happy with the finished product and our family enjoys it. Thank you KC and team and keep up the good work for your future customers. **★★★★★ — Amy Cupitt, Jan. 2025** > After nearly quitting the entire contractor search and putting our desire to update our back patio on the back burner, we had a friend suggest we visit with Affordable Shade. Mike was excellent to work with, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Other quotes we got for the same thing were really high and bizarre. The build process was efficient and evidence of years of experience. Everyone who came to the house was excellent at what they do. Our patio is gorgeous. We entertain often again. **★★★★★ — Jerry, Jan. 2025** > I hired Affordable patio cover company for two projects, both of them are built above my expectations, project are built on schedule, very good quality, Len did a great job, explained everything before starting the project and coordinated everything smoothly, I highly recommend them **★★★★★ — Ian Cross, Sept. 2024** > Great experience. Highly recommend. Mike and team were responsive, professional and competitively priced. All contractors did a great job and patio was finished per expected timeline. **★★★★★ — Tina Parra/Buena, May 2024** > My husband and I would highly recomend Affordable Shades! The process was very fast and easy. They helped get all of our approvals with the HOA! **★★★★★ — Patio extension and cover, Aug. 2023** > I had a very good experience working with Affordable Shade Patio Covers. Whether it was working with KC to complete the project or working with Michelle in the office to handle the administration side, it was a great experience. The project was complete on schedule and the quality of work was good. I was really satisfied with any and all contractors they used to do the work. **Comment from Affordable Shade Patio Covers:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your business! **★★★★★ — Celeste, July 2023** > Luis had an amazing team. The work they did was spectacular! We love our new Covered Patio, so much room we host neighbors, our kids and our remaining family members as well. > > Thank you for a fast and amazing Patio you created for us!!!!! **Comment from Affordable Shade Patio Covers:** > Thank you for your review! We hope you many years of enjoyment! **★★★★★ — S Newton, April 2023** > Professional and quality work. Excellent people to work with as far as design and your needs.
