Established in 2005, All Pro Shade Concepts is dedicated to making it more comfortable to live in the Valley of the Sun. Focused exclusively on outdoor shade products, the locally owned company is dedicated to enhancing each product and service, guaranteeing an exceptional customer experience from start to finish.
No Throwing Shade
Owned by Phoenix native Robert Mulvin, All Pro Shade Concepts is home to a new facility and even more success on the horizon as they approach their 20th anniversary.
“We’re number one in Arizona for outdoor shades because of our superior customer service and top-notch products,” he says. “Really, it’s our team that makes the difference. We all pull together to give our customers a custom shade solution tailored to their needs and stick with them for the long haul.”
Mulvin adds that one aspect of All Pro Shade Concepts that often surprises people is their commitment to local manufacturing.
“As we transition to producing our own shades in-house at our new facility, we’re not just ensuring quality and innovation in our products but also contributing significantly to the local economy by creating more jobs and supporting community development,” he notes. “This move allows us to maintain a hands-on approach to our product quality and design, tailoring our offerings to the unique needs of the Arizona climate and our customers’ preferences.”
Pick a Color, Any Color
For retractable awnings, patio shades, and sunscreens, All Pro Shade Concepts offers the best quality for the most competitive pricing. And customers can choose from manual and motorized patio shades and awnings.
“We started offering retractable shades in 2008 and then motorized options in 2012,” says Mulvin. “The retractable patio shades didn’t take off until 2015; they provide comfort from the Arizona sun while extending outdoor entertainment space. During the winter, the drop shades retain the heat, especially with space heaters.”
“We have the built-in dimmable LED lights as a standard feature on our motorized awnings,” he adds. “We build these lights into the arms of all our awnings so users can control the level of light by remote control.”
In addition, every awning comes with wind sensors and a motor override just in case the power goes out.
“We hand make every window sunscreen and custom-build them to clients’ needs, which means that we can have shades on the windows of a house or business faster than most competitors,” says Mulvin. “We’ve measured for, made, and installed more than 300,000 window sunscreens.”
Also, window sunscreen installations are eligible for the SRP Screen Rebate. SRP offers customers a rebate of $! per square foot on professionally installed shade screens to keep their homes cooler during Phoenix’s summer months. Customers can even choose the frame, sun blockage percent, and fabric color and design to best suit their home or business.
“Our Textilene shades are the best available and can block up to 99% of the sun’s rays,” Mulvin says.
Additionally, the company only uses the most reliable motors for retractable patio shades and awnings, and all products come with a manufacturer’s warranty — 10 years for material and five years for motors.
“Moving forward, the biggest trend impacting our industry will be the integration of smart technology into outdoor shades,” he says. “At All Pro Shade Concepts, we’re leading the way with exclusive features like color-changing LED lights built into our awnings, enhancing aesthetics and functionality. This innovation not only offers convenience through app-controlled adjustments but also sets our products apart in the market, offering unique solutions that enhance the user experience.”
The Future is So Bright, They Need Shade
Mulvin says that, for 2025, All Pro Shade Concepts is positioned for significant growth.
“With the expansion into a new facility and the move to manufacture our shades in-house, we anticipate greater control over product quality and innovation,” he shares. “Additionally, our forthcoming partnerships with unique technology manufacturers will enable us to introduce cutting-edge shade product lines exclusively in the Phoenix market. Coupled with targeted marketing campaigns and collaborations with local influencers, we expect to not only enhance our market presence but also to redefine industry standards in outdoor shade solutions.”
When to Add Shade
While it’s always a good time to add shade to homes and businesses in Arizona, Mulvin says, “The best time to schedule All Pro Shade Concepts is before the heat arrives so you can stay comfortable.”
