Made in the Shade Franchising

Made In the Shade with Kevin Maxwell was an excellent experience of having our shutters repaired. He took care of everything in a very professional and friendly manner. We would most definitely call on him again if need be and recommend him to others if they need a repair.

We have had our MITS franchise for almost a year. The family feel among all of the fellow franchisees and Cathy is truly unique and a true blessing! What we love the most is how everyone seeks to help one another and be a support system at all times! We believe Made in The Shade is a rare find among franchises!

Joining the Made In The Shade franchise was one of the best decisions we have made in our lives. The process was very smooth and easy. All of the owners are very helpful and supportive. One of the best things about this company is that Cathy is just a phone call away and always very willing to help in any way. This is truly an extended family.

Cannot say enough about the Made in the Shade family. When we were looking for opportunities we wanted something that we could build a family business around and be able to pass down to our kids. We wanted an organization that shared our values, work ethic, humbleness, and caring approach to work and life. We wanted a group that would support us, provide a solid understanding of the industry, a group to leverage their resources & experience, and be an ongoing sounding board for advice, suggestions and support as we grow. We had extremely high expectations. Cathy, Josh , and her team have been a blessing for us. Easy to work with, caring, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. They know the products and the industry and work tirelessly to leverage relationships for MITS that benefit each Franchise Owner. Financially they align themselves with their owners. They make money when the franchise owners make money. They are always willing to listen to new ideas, foster a team environment within their franchise community, and never forget a special day for any of their owners. They are excellent business owners but more importantly they are better people. Thank you for offering us an amazing opportunity to build a successful sustainable business for our family.

Made in the Shade has given me the opportunity to operate my own business with flexibility on how and when I do business. There are no royalty fees and with our vast supplier list we get great discounts in volumes that we can extend to our clients to offer more competitive pricing.
I get bored easily so I love all the different hats I get to wear from office, to sales, to installation. I enjoy my job and have no regrets.
