"Absolutely terrible communication and poor workmanship. I have a contract to update my screened in porch. â 3 day jobâ started June 24 and now it is July 24. Havenâ t heard from anyone in over a week despite talking to Rob on three occasions about completing the project. Curtis stood me up for an appointment. Jay continues to ignore my communications and the original salesperson has apparently left the company. If you want a headache and a nightmarish experience by all means, otherwise, look past this company for your project needs. I take it at this point itâ s just not going to get completed."

Montgomery Shade and Awning is a family owned and operated local business with over 40 years of industry experience in shades and awnings. We opened Montgomery Shade and Awning because there was a need in the Northern Virginia/Washington DC suburbs for a local ‘shade’ purveyor. We are proud to have been the first company to offer ‘European Retractable Awnings’ to this market and we continue to offer these and the more traditional tailored awnings to our customers. We have always enjoyed helping customers solve their sun and weather protection problems with attractive awning solutions using the best quality materials with skilled installation and follow up services. We take pride in providing our customers with finished products that include colorful storefronts and attractive outdoor living spaces that our customers enjoy. We believe that we set ourselves apart from our competitors because we only offer the premium products that provide better quality and durability. We are a small company that takes pride in craftsmanship, appealing and functional end results and happy, long term and repeat customers. As members of the Professional Awning Manufacturer's Association (since 1986) we strive to meet a code of ethics keeping the customer's needs first, with high quality products and excellent service. Offering retractable awning systems originating in Switzerland, Germany and the US with premium outdoor fabrics gives us the edge on state of the art design and quality. Our in-house installation staff have solved the most challenging mounting problems and are paid hourly, not by the job. We take the time to do it right the first time. We would love the opportunity to partner with you and your home or business improvement needs.
"Montgomery Shade and awning were wonderful. They made multiple visits and spent time with us to ensure we got the products we needed and the colors we wanted. They had to design and build a custom awning to go over our basement stairwell - results are great. Installation of both the fixed awning and the retractable over our deck was well-done. We couldn't be more pleased - highly recommended."

Vivid Outdoor Living focuses on providing high quality outdoor living products and services to our clients. Our products range from Pergola, Patio Covers, Retractable Screens, Outdoor Kitchens and more! We service the entire Mid-Atlantic Region.
"George did an excellent job screening in our large back porch. It wasn't an easy task – he and his team were working with multiple surfaces and materials, unusually large window openings, and some unexpected shortages of supplies due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, George consistently communicated to ask our opinion on several aspects of the project to ensure it met our expectations, including when a screen door was unworkable (due to no fault of his), he quickly procured an alternative and installed the next day. George brought levity and attention to detail to the project, working to make sure everything was accomplished for maximum function and beauty. All this, and the project was completed for a very reasonable price. I would recommend George to anyone looking for a creative, affordable solution to summer mosquitos and maximizing your enjoyment of your outdoor space."

"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

Yes, you can paint your metal awning using oil-based paints to give it a fresh new look and protect it from corrosion. Oil-based paints are durable and help preserve the awning's structural integrity. Keep in mind that painting an aluminum awning costs $2.50 to $3.50 per square foot. Be sure to hire a painter who specializes in awning painting to get the best results.
Metal awnings are incredibly durable and offer excellent protection against the elements for your home. They resist sun, rain, and snow, keeping your space safe and comfortable. Stainless steel and copper awnings provide outstanding longevity and structural integrity, while aluminum awnings are more affordable without sacrificing performance. Plus, their sturdy construction can improve energy efficiency and boost your home's curb appeal.
While metal awnings are durable, they can be more expensive than other types, so they might not be ideal if you're on a tight budget. They also offer fewer customization options compared to fabric awnings, so you might have limited choices in style or color. Additionally, metal awnings are fixed in place and harder to adjust, so you won't be able to raise or lower them easily based on the weather.
Yes, metal awnings can increase your home's value by enhancing its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. Their sturdy design not only improves the look of your home but can also contribute to energy savings. If you opt for motorized awnings, they add a touch of sophistication that can be especially appealing to potential buyers when you're ready to sell.
Metal awnings can last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance. To keep them in good shape, regularly clean them with a vinegar and water solution a few times each season to prevent buildup and corrosion. If your awning has electronic components, be sure to service them routinely. Taking care of any damage promptly will help your awning perform its best and extend its lifespan.
