Why homeowners choose motorized
Shade you can change as the day changes.
A fixed cover gives you one setting. Motorized patio shades let you shape light, heat and privacy through the day — open for the morning and the view, down when the afternoon sun turns the patio into a room you avoid.
In Gilbert, AZ, west-facing patios take the hardest exposure. We walk the space with you, measure the openings and shape a configuration around how you actually use the patio.
You may also hear them called outdoor roller shades or exterior patio shades. They lower vertically across the open sides of a covered patio, blocking low afternoon sun that comes in sideways. A retractable awning works differently — it projects outward overhead from a wall, shading the area below it. Many homes use one or the other, and some use both.

Motorized shades, answered
What homeowners ask us first.
Straight answers before you commit to anything.
How much do motorized patio shades cost in Gilbert?
It depends on the width and height of each opening, how many openings you cover, the fabric, how the sides are held (tracks or cables), mounting, and power and controls. We measure for free and give you a written quote before you commit.
Do I need HOA approval for patio shades in Gilbert?
Often, yes. Rules vary by community, so check your HOA's exterior guidelines first. We can provide product details and color options to include with your request.
Will motorized shades block the sun on a west-facing Gilbert patio?
They are designed to cut direct glare and heat from low afternoon sun. A tighter fabric weave gives more shade and daytime privacy, and a more open weave keeps more view. We help you pick during the in-home visit.
Can you add shades to my existing covered patio?
In most cases, yes. We measure the openings and confirm mounting and power for your specific structure before recommending anything.
Do you offer financing in Gilbert?
Yes, through Acorn Finance. You can apply online, and approval and terms are decided by the lender.
How do motorized patio shades work?
The shade lowers and raises on a motor, so you set the amount of sun, glare and privacy you want without handling anything manually.
Do motorized shades hold up in Arizona sun and wind?
Outdoor shade fabrics and housings are selected for sun exposure, and we review wind considerations for your specific patio before recommending a configuration.
Will I still be able to see out?
Yes. Openness is one of the choices we make together — more openness keeps the view, less openness gives more shade and privacy.
Can shades be added to an existing patio?
In most cases, yes. We measure your patio and confirm what is possible for your structure before recommending anything.
How long does installation take?
Timelines depend on your selections and schedule. We give you expected dates in writing with your quote.
Gilbert buying guide
Patio shades for Gilbert homes
Gilbert is mostly newer, master-planned neighborhoods with deep covered patios, backyard pools and outdoor kitchens. The roof handles the overhead sun. The problem is the low afternoon sun that comes in from the west and south under the patio cover.
Motorized exterior roll shades drop across those open sides, cut glare and heat, and roll back up when you want the view. One button, no cranks.
HOA approval in Gilbert
Many Gilbert neighborhoods are HOA-governed, and exterior changes often need approval first. Check your HOA's guidelines on colors and visible hardware before you pick a fabric.
We give you product details, fabric color options and a written scope you can attach to your HOA request.
Measuring and installing in Gilbert
We come to your home, check the sun exposure, measure each opening and look at mounting surfaces and where power is available. You get a written quote that spells out the scope before you commit anything.
Ask about Acorn financing if you want to spread the cost out. Approval and terms are decided by the lender.
