Testimonials

I am writing this letter in reference to Total Shade, who recently completed a series of shade structure installations for our facility at Synergy School. We had the pleasure of working with them on a grant project that included the construction of a large shade structure, two mobile structures, and the replacement of six additional shade tarps.

Throughout the project, Total Shade demonstrated a high level of professionalism, completing the work within the agreed-upon time frame and budget. Their team consistently communicated with us, ensuring that we were updated on progress and addressing any concerns promptly and effectively.

The quality of their work met all of our expectations, and the new shade structures have significantly improved the comfort, functionality and aesthetic of the outdoor spaces for our students. I would not hesitate to recommend Total Shade for any similar projects, and I am confident they would be a valuable asset to any organization’s approved contractors list.

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Total Shade, who has completed several projects over the years for Sun Valley Community Church. Throughout this period, Total Shade consistently demonstrated professionalism, skill, and dedication to the projects assigned.

During our collaboration, they were responsible for the design, permitting and erection of several shade canopies at several of our campuses. They were very helpful with ideas and working with our vision of what we were wanting to accomplish, and what we were able to accomplish within the parameters of building codes.

The quality of their work was exceptional, and consistently met all project deadlines, often going above and beyond to ensure client satisfaction. They were also proactive in offering creative solutions to complex challenges, which significantly improved project outcomes.

In addition to technical expertise. It was a pleasure to work with Total Shade, and Rich whom I delt with primarily as they communicated effectively, provided timely updates, and worked seamlessly with myself and the individual campus teams making sure schedules didn’t conflict.

I have no hesitation in recommending Total Shade for any future projects or contracts.

I am pleased to offer this client reference for Total Shade Structures, LLC. Total Shade recently built an 18’ x 178’ carport structure in our company’s parking lot to provide covered parking for our employees and company vehicles.

Our experience working with the Total Shade team was exceptional from start to finish. When we contacted them for a proposal, they were prompt to respond and provided a very detailed and reasonably priced proposal. When we had to postpone the project from its original scheduled start date, they were very accommodating. The construction process itself was very smooth and remarkably non-disruptive to our ongoing business operations. The management and crew were very professional and respectful, their equipment was well maintained and safely operated, and they cleaned up their work area thoroughly at the end of each day.

We are very pleased with the end product; it is extremely well built and top quality – which is how I would describe the entire process that Total Shade provided – top quality.

It is my pleasure to recommend Total Shade LLC as a contractor for specialized shade structures.

Total Shade LLC designed the custom palm shade structures at Glendale Community College’s main campus. These large structures measure 16′ x 16′ x 12′ and mirror the palm tree architecture of the original buildings on our campus. In 2023, we added 9 palm shade structures to our campus. We have these structures in the Student Union, in the Central Mall, and at the tennis courts. The permanent structures are low maintenance, and the fabric shade sails have a 10-year limited warranty.

Total Shade LLC made the process easy from concept and design to fabrication and installation. These shade structures took a lot of preparation and planning. They provided engineered CAD drawings for the proposed structures. The workmanship and design are exceptional. They also stayed on track with the project deadlines and installation schedule. I am very satisfied with the product and level of service provided by Total Shade LLC and would utilize this supplier again for future shading projects.

I’m honored to have this opportunity to recommend Total Shade to any business or government entity wanting to create shaded public spaces for parking, recreation or anything else. In our opinion, Total Shade does a wonderful job making some of Arizona’s hottest places-like blacktop parking lots-more habitable.

Bashas’ is a tenant in several shopping centers where Total Shade provides covered parking, and this amenity is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also a real incentive for customers to choose Bashas’ over similar nearby businesses.
