Z-Glide Retractable Awnings

Get sun when you want it, shade when you need it. Longshade's designs and installs custom retractable awnings for patios, decks, and balconies.

Shade that fits your routine

A retractable awning gives you real flexibility. Extend it for lunch in the shade. Retract it for evening sun. You get coverage without committing to a permanent roofline. We help you choose the right style, size, and mounting so it looks clean and works smoothly.

Longshade's Reviews

What an amazing experience working with Longshade's. Thomas was our consultant who helped with deciding the best options for us. Todd was the most amazing and professional installer. He installed 6 indoor motorized shades, explained the charging and operation of all of them, worked super clean and efficient. We could not be happier with the entire project.

I am so pleased with my new shutters. Fred and Kyle H did a wonderful job with installation. The work areas were spotless when they finished (possibly cleaner than before their arrival), and they showed great concern that I was pleased with the job. I was surprised when Kim called a few days later to make sure I was happy with the installation. I would highly recommend Longshade's.

Our experience with Longshade's was amazing. Kim communicated with me very step of the way, which was greatly appreciated. We are loving our motorized garage door screens. I will recommend Longshade's to family and friends.
