Lakewood's luxury homes and lakefront properties demand outdoor solutions that match their quality and aesthetic. Most Lakewood residences feature expansive decks overlooking Lake Jacomo or elevated patios designed for entertaining—perfect applications for professional exterior shades. The lakeside location means afternoon sun exposure and variable wind conditions typical of elevated terrain. Our motorized patio shades with wind sensors automatically retract during gusty days while providing shade control when you need it. Many Lakewood homeowners layer their shades with pergolas for maximum flexibility, creating sophisticated outdoor rooms that extend the outdoor season from spring through fall. We've installed dozens of systems throughout the Lakewood community, understanding how lake breezes and scenic views factor into your design choices.
