Charles FendtAugust 2024 · Google review“Shoreline shade; my review of this company is more than professional, as I called for product that best suits the application of retractable shade, price of the product, delivery of product, (came in earlier than expected) and installation of the unit was a 5 star service! Questions I asked were answered and I was very confident in the installation of the product! Thank you Shore Line Shade for your services rendered, sincerely, CF”
Sandra CrookApril 2024 · Google review“After speaking to a representative from a national distributor, we contacted Shoreline Shade and felt much more comfortable about the whole process. Tom answered all our questions and never tried to pressure us into the add-ons. Communication was wonderful and the installation a breeze. We couldn't be happier with the company, employees, or product. Looking forward to Summer on our deck this year!”
Glen BrooksApril 2024 · Google review“Tom recently completed install of a new awning at our home in Mystic, I highly recommend him if you are considering an awning for your home. He made appropriate recommendations along the way, the installation was very clean. He exceeded our expectations, and the product is of high quality. Before you consider any other company, give Tom @ Shoreline Shade a call, you will be well taken care of.”
