We love our Weather Queen Shades! We installed them at our cabin in our three season porch. They look great and essentially disappear when up. The tracking system prevents most of the rain, dust, pollen and snow from getting inside. If the wind is blowing, they stay tight in their tracks. I searched and found no other product that offered what Weather Queen did. Ours have been installed for over 10 years and still look like new. Carla and her team are exceptionally customer focused and are a delight to work with. I highly recommend them.

We can’t rave enough about our Weather Queen Shades!!! From the first inquiry phone call, all the way to the installation and follow-up, every point of contact has been incredibly professional, pleasant, and with a meticulous attention to detail. Their team was very patient with all of our questions and they were delightful to work with. And the product----well, we just couldn’t be any more impressed! They are beautifully made, and STURDY. We are on a lake in northern Minnesota, and when our shades are down, all the seasonal weather (including pollen and dust!) stays out of our screen porch. When the shades are pulled up, they are barely noticeable---they blend inperfectly. Because of our Weather Queen Shades, our porch feels like an extension of the interior of our home!Read More

Everything about Weather Queen Shades was beyond great. We love the shades—so attractive and well-made and all done in a timely fashion. They have added much to our home—extra good-looking from the inside and outside and now with ease of raising and lowering shades we have increased the use of our screen porch. Not only protection from rain, but wind and sun. I can now be on porch anytime the mood beckons, which is a lot. I cannot recommend them enough.Read More

"WORTH THE EXPENSE!"
These shades are like nothing else I have found on the market. They provide excellent protection from the elements of wind, snow rain and dust. Because of the protection they provide, we have furnished our screen porch as if it were an indoor room. The shades are super easy to use...we simply pull them up when using our porch and drop at night just incase the weather tuns bad. An added benefit is less cleaning after the winter and pollen seasons. Not only are screens top quality, the company is wonderful to work with...very responsive and attentive.Read More

Since our home in Stone Harbor, NJ fronts a sand dune leading to the Atlantic Ocean, we needed something to protect our screened-in porch from wind, salt and water. After exploring many alternatives, we settled on Weather Queen shades. They are so durable and yet attractive for our beach house. It’s not just the shades either, but the owner, Carla, and her crew to which we give high praise. They have been absolutely outstanding to work with and fully back up their product, providing us with continued support.Read More

These shades are amazing! We had them installed on a screen porch addition for our lake cabin several years ago. We had looked at other shade companies, but only Weather Queen Shades offered everything we were looking for. They are made of very high quality material, they are very attractive, so easy to use, and the customer service is second to none. We are starting another project now on a different home and we will be using Weather Queen Shades again. We could not be happier with this product.Read More

Weather Queen Shades did a beautiful job on our lake Home Screen porch. Every detail was covered, the installation was on time, and the shades have held up extremely well over the years. Adding these shades extended our living space as we can now use the screen porch even in inclement weather. We use them in the summer and the deep of winter in Wisconsin. We highly recommend this company!Read More

Weather Queen Shades are one of the best home investments that I have ever made. Weather Queen Shades more than live up to their motto, "Making screen porches the outdoor living room they were meant to be." The shades do not disturb my beautiful lake view and I never have to move anything inside, my porch is set up year round with the shades offering complete protection.
As a special bonus Weather Queen Shades has the most competent staff of any firm that I have ever worked with. They definitely listen to the customer and offer nothing but excellent suggestions to fulfill the desires of the customer. From selecting the fabric to final installation--the wish of the customer is always priority one.
The entire process was a very peasant experience and the final result was better than I could have ever dreamed.
Thank you Weather Queen Shades.

This is a great company and a great product! The team worked with me on design and fabric selection, the installation was seamless and the shades are beautiful and functional. I live in an area of extreme weather with a lot of wind and snow. The shades have enhanced and extended the use of my screen porch and truly add to the beauty of my home. After 2 1/2 years, the shades are like new.Read More

We could not be more pleased with our custom Weather Queen Shades. A little background first. Just over a year ago we completed a house renovation project, which included a screened porch. The porch turned out great but for the past year we have not used it much, mainly because of the direct late afternoon/evening sun. Our other concern was protecting our furniture and other items from the sun, driving wind/rain storms, and heavy springtime pollen. We had considered several options (wood shutters, interior blinds, removable glass or plexiglass inserts, etc.) but all had related downsides.
I knew there had to be a good solution but had no idea what that might be. Fortunately, I found the Weather Queen Shades website when searching the Internet. As I read the information and watched the video it started to sink in that this might be it, but the only dealers for the product were based in Wisconsin and Minnesota – and we’re in Virginia. As is turned out, that was not an issue. Carla had a Virginia dealer lined up and ready to go, and the process could not have gone smoother. Both Carla and Christine Shepard (dealer) were great to work with and four or five weeks later the shades were installed. In short, we love them. Both the quality and functionality are outstanding. It turns out it was not a good solution, but a great one. We’re now using the porch all the time. As far as the elements … bring it on. It’s so easy and convenient to lower the shades from inside the porch and then simply not worry about it.Read More

I love our Weather Queen Shades! Ever since the day they were installed in early June we haven't missed a night sleeping in our porch (and it's now October in Minnesota!). My favorite nights are the rainy ones when the shades are down. Those nights it feels like we are miles away from home sleeping in a tent, a yurt, or a Japanese tea house. It's cozy, private, dry and beautiful in there. Buying Weather Queen Shades is the best thing we've ever done for our house, second only to building the screen porch.
The shades are of the highest quality. You can tell they were designed with not only functionality in mind, but also beauty and quality. Working with Carla and her team was just great. They are honest, hard working, ethical people who really know what they are doing.
I recommend these shades to anyone who has a screen porch. It will change the way you live in your porch.Read More
