Absolutely atrocious customer service! They came to my property unannounced and installed my awning wrong. Kevin took the wrong measurements and his sister Tonya lies about it and said that " the awning was installed as sold and will charge me more if I want it fixed ". They never came back to fix it, never return calls or emails. They completely ignore me and this awning is a total disaster! Do not use this company, they are dishonest and won`t do anything for you once they have your money.

ZERO STARS! I ordered my shades Aug 2019. Its April 2020 and the shades have not been installed. Kevin Drake has my $5061 deposit. He has given me every excuse he could imagine. DO NOT do business with this company. I am going to have to pursue legal action.

Absolutely terrible communication and customer service. Purchased shade from Kevin in Aug of 2019 and told him my concerns about the reviews of his company. I was assured by him that it wouldn’t be a problem. It has been a huge problem. It is now the end of February and all I have is broken promises dozens of unreturned calls emails and texts and no shade. Do not use this company.

Stay Away from this company!
Terrible customer service after the salesman leaves. We cannot get return call unless we call repeatedly. Cannot get a straight answer when we do reach an actual person at the office. We ordered ours on July 23rd 2019. Paid half down as required. I was advised by the Owner in person it would be 4-6 weeks.
Now it is October and still no awning or time frames.
They still have half our money (1,768.00)
Needless to say I would not ever recommend this company to anyone ever!
I would have given 0 stars if it would have been an option. Very frustrating and unprofessional

What a beautiful job performed by Shade by Design. We had these power shades installed this spring on our new pavilion. Excellent work and great staff to work with. They have been so prompt to our needs on several occasions. We love these. Thank you!

Zero Stars! Ordered two Awnings from this company on March 15th 2019. Called on several occasions and no answer or returned calls. Terrible communications and service! Put a deposit of $2,319.00 down and will file a claim to retrieve our money back. I was e-mailed twice giving dates of when awnings would be finished and installed, but was lied too on both occasions. Never would have purchased product from this company if I would have known it would have taken this long. BUYER'S BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!😠

Signed a contract with Shade by Design and paid 50% of the total when I submitted the signed contract. I have waited 120 days. Nothing has been done. Called them twice....the response was "we don't have the necessary parts." The contract reads, "The 50% down payment is non-refundable." Is this true if they don't ever do the job? What is the definition of honesty?

Don't use this company. They never return their phone calls. My shade was six weeks late being installed even though I had a date in the contract. You have to drive to their office to get any service. They have a F rating with the Indianapolis Better Business Bureau and a D rating on Angie's list. There are other companies in Indy that make the same shade

Placed our order for 1 shade the first week of June. Gave them 50% down , around $1200. Promised 6 weeks. After I contacted them numerous times from July on, we still don’t have the shade. I have never gotten a return or follow-up call from all my inquiries. The last excuse inMid August was their distributor was out of motors then the motors were stuck in customs. In late October I asked them to return my deposit, tried again and left messages in November. I guess we are looking at small claims court now. Please, buyer beware!!!!

The company continually delayed coming out to fix the awning under warranty. For over six weeks we would call and they would tell us that they would be out the following week. The following week the company would not show up nor would they call to let us know that they would not make it out to our house. We finally asked them to just take the awning down and give us our money back since they would not honor the warranty.
Now it has been two and a half months and of course the awning is still not fixed, nor has it been removed. We have had to hire an attorney to help us come to some resolution
