Commercial Awnings, Canopies
& Solar Shades

Hampton Roads’ booming tourism and entertainment industry makes outdoor spaces essential for restaurants and venues. Our Betterliving commercial shade solutions—awnings, retractable solar shades, and NEW clear motorized drop shades—help businesses maximize their outdoor areas year-round. They provide relief from the summer sun and protection from wind and rain, creating a comfortable experience for guests in any season. With our shades, businesses can enhance customer satisfaction, increase revenue, and make the most of Hampton Roads’ vibrant outdoor dining and entertainment scene.

As an authorized dealer of Betterliving® Awnings, Shades and Canopies, we can provide shading solutions for your customers and employees to enjoy cool relief from the hot sun without having to escape to the indoors. By adding shade, you can increase the number of available tables or seating areas and fully utilize your outdoor porches, decks, patios, courtyards or other exterior space throughout the spring, summer and fall.

Keep Your Customers Cool - and Coming Back

Design an ideal oasis for your customers to unwind in refreshing shade—where comfort is paramount for them, and simplicity is key for you. Offer your clientele sun protection while they enjoy your establishment, and simultaneously reduce energy consumption for cooling.
