About us
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.

"Free estimates for new awning products are easy to provide if the customer can provide a description and approximate size of the product they are interested in. Repair pricing is more complicated. JH had called and asked for an estimate to repair a broken retractable awning frame system that we did not initially provide. We cannot get parts for several of the brands of awnings that have been installed over the past 30 years in our region. We did provide new fabric for the system a couple of years prior. In an attempt to resolve the customers problem we had to send technicians to her home (about 30 minutes away) to determine what was broken and determine whether we could get replacement parts, and if so, to then determine a cost. When JH called I gave her an approximate repair cost which included the cost of having my staff evaluate the problem. JH was unhappy at the charge and it was clear to me that we would not agree. At that point I suggested she find another company to repair her awning. I am sorry that she would not concede that I had incurred costs to determine the problem with her awning and why I felt it reasonable to be recouped for that. It was never our intent to offend her."
We wanted something that did not block our view, did not interfere with the trim on the columns, did not have cables for our puppy and kids to mess with, and above all cut down the heat and the blinding sun.
Montgomery Awnings came with the perfect solution. We had this very large shade made that runs on side tracks (instead of cables). It basically turns our deck into a screened in porch (at least on one side). It was a lot more than I wanted to pay, but SO WORTH IT!
Rob the owner was VERY professional, knowlegeble, and responsive. The folks installing it were awesome. They took so much care and time to make sure that our trim did not get damaged. They did an awesome job!
I am very very happy with my new shade.
coming down our basement walkout. After a close examination and
discussion on a sweltering day, we concluded that his products could not
be used at this part of the house. Rob was clear, professional and a
delight to deal with.
awning project. He initially gave us a very detailed estimate which
included a picture of the suggested awning superimposed over an actual
picture of the back of our house. That picture was actually the selling
point for us, because my family is located overseas and we needed to
put up an awning over the back door of our house in Sterling because of
flooding issues. I was able to email the picture of the awning to our
HOA which helped smooth the way to getting it approved. We were
supposed to match the color of the new awning to our front door and Rob
took the trouble to go back to our house and compare a swatch of the
awning we had in mind to the door to ensure that it matched.
Every
interaction we had with Rob Montgomery was professional and pleasant.
His estimate was a bit higher than the two other companies that we got
quotes from, but the difference was negligible combined with the Angies
List coupon.
I would definitely recommend this company.
"I called the member immediately upon seeing her July 2nd report and apologized. My notes indicated that I had made a tentative appointment for May 3, 2012 to be comfirmed by the member. My notes don't indicate a follow up confirmation and I did not keep the appointment. She told me she believed it was a confirmed appointment and I was at fault. Since 'the customer is always right' and it was most likely a simple misunderstanding I again apologize. I do wish she had called or emailed me when I didn't arrive, as she expected, so the problem could have been rectified immediately."
