What Virginia Beach Homeowners Are Saying About Made in the Shade
We’re a locally owned and operated window treatment company serving Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk — and honestly, our customers say it better than we ever could.
Every review you’ll read here represents a real Hampton Roads homeowner who let us bring the showroom to their door, helped them find the perfect fit for their windows and their lifestyle, and trusted our installation team to get it done right. That means everything to us.
Julie and James Boswell started Made in the Shade Virginia Beach because they believed the window treatment experience should be personal, low-pressure, and genuinely fun. No showroom trips. No guessing how something will look in your light. Just great products, honest advice, and a team that shows up and does excellent work.
Why Hampton Roads Homeowners Choose Made in the Shade Virginia Beach
From motorized outdoor blinds on a screened porch in Virginia Beach to plantation shutters in a sunroom, our customers come to us with all kinds of projects — and we love every single one of them.
A few things our customers mention again and again:
Julie takes the guesswork out of it. Choosing window treatments can feel overwhelming. Julie’s design background means she listens first, then helps you land on something you’ll love — without the pressure.
John and Jada make installation easy. Our installation team is professional, careful, and genuinely respectful of your home. More than one customer has called John a true gentleman — we’d have to agree.
The quality holds up. Most of our products carry a limited lifetime warranty, and we work with industry-leading brands. When you invest in custom window treatments, you want them to last. Ours do.
We know coastal Virginia. Salt air, humidity, screened porches, sunrooms — we understand what Hampton Roads homes need. That local knowledge shapes every recommendation we make.
