Designed for year-round use, these structures feature durable materials, energy-efficient insulation, and customizable options like window styles and frame colors. Ideal for dining areas, workout spaces, or pet rooms, they enhance property value while providing protection from desert heat and UV exposure.

Their low-maintenance design suits Las Vegas climates, combining durability with aesthetic appeal to boost home value.

Sun shield came back out after to correct the bottom portion of my privacy lattice. It was not level and after sending them pictures they came back out and fixed it. So in all they corrected the problem and showed good customer service. I amend my previous rating.

Year 3 with our awning and we are very happy with the quality and installation team! They did all the required permits for us and arranged a concrete company to help us get the patio dimensions to fit this awning along with a future project, and finished it quickly! Would recommend to my friends!

I've had Sunshield install patio covers for 3 homes in Las Vegas, as far back as 1997. Never had an issue. Friendly staff, clean and quick installers.

I used this companies online messaging system to inquire the cost of one of the DIY awning kits. I received a response saying it depends on the size. I further inquired asking you don't have a price range to provide when people ask this question? The response was $10,000. No additional information, no we'd love to set up a time to give you a proper estimate, absolutely no attempt at customer service here. Other companies have kits starting at just under $1000 so if this companies "price range" is $10,000 I highly suggest going elsewhere!

It's our pleasure to give a five-star rating to Sunshield Awning Company. They're quality all the way, great prices and their work is far above any competitors. We know, we've used others! Sunshield just did a GREAT job on our carport awning. We live in Boulder City and have had wind damage many times. We only wish we used Sunshield earlier, but we made the mistake previously of going with other inferior companies who could accommodate us right away.
What that resulted in was having to get more repairs down the road. I say wait for Sunshield. You can count on them doing a great job. This has been a family business since 1974. Don't settle, they're tops for sure.
