We are extremely happy with our experience and quality of our shades and shutters. Great experience from start to finish and fully expect to use them again for another project. Happy to recommend Steve and his family, they did a fantastic job!

I had a wonderful experience with Made in the Shade Sarasota and Steve and his team! They responded quickly to my inquiry for coming out to measure my office and were right in the price point I needed. Once the blinds arrived, they let me know and was able to install within a week. Steve provided great communication and even ordered a new blind after noticing a small tare in one.

Working with Steve and Caleb at Made in the Shade was great. They were highly professional, personable, and went above and beyond to make sure the experience of measuring and installing the blinds went smoothly. I love my new blinds, and they were very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Steve and his sons at Made in the Shade Sarasota, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. From the very beginning, their professionalism stood out. On the day of our consultation, I received a text letting me know they were on their way and they actually arrived a little early! As someone who moved from the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area, where punctuality can sometimes be a challenge, this immediately made a great impression. Steve took the time to walk us through the available options, answer our questions, and help us select the perfect blinds for our home. Within just a few hours of the visit, we received a detailed estimate. Steve explained that their philosophy is simple: provide their best price upfront without playing pricing games. He was absolutely right. We obtained two additional quotes for the exact same products, and Made in the Shade Sarasota came in at the best price. Once we placed our order, we were told the blinds would arrive in approximately 3–4 weeks. True to their word, Steve called right on schedule to let us know they had arrived, and the installation was scheduled within just a couple of days. The installation process was smooth, professional, and efficient. Most importantly, the blinds look absolutely amazing and have transformed the look of our home. If you're looking for a company that values customer service, communicates clearly, shows up when they say they will, offers competitive pricing, and delivers a high-quality product, I highly recommend Made in the Shade Sarasota. Steve and his team are true professionals, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

We recently had shades and shutters installed in our new home in Lakewood Ranch, and we could not be happier with the experience. Steve and his two sons were professional, friendly, and incredibly detail-oriented from start to finish. The quality of their work was outstanding, and they made sure every single window was absolutely perfect before leaving. They took their time to ensure everything fit beautifully and operated flawlessly. What really stood out was how respectful they were of our home — they cleaned up everything afterward and left the house spotless. It’s clear they take great pride in their craftsmanship and customer service. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for high-quality shades and shutters installed by people who truly care about doing the job right.

Why Sarasota Homeowners Invest in Custom Shutters:

  • Lasting Home Value: Custom plantation shutters add timeless style and architectural appeal to Sarasota homes. Their built-in appearance and furniture-quality finish complement everything from modern coastal properties to traditional Florida homes, making them a worthwhile long-term home improvement.

  • Built for Florida’s Coastal Climate: Sarasota’s combination of high humidity, coastal moisture, and year-round warmth can be challenging for window coverings. Our moisture-resistant composite shutters are an excellent choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where humidity is a concern.
  • Superior Sun and Heat Control: Florida’s intense sunshine can increase indoor temperatures and cause fading to furniture, flooring, and interior finishes. The solid construction and adjustable louvers of custom shutters help manage incoming sunlight, reduce glare, and improve indoor comfort.
