Drop Shade

Drop Shade operates from 14001 Distribution Way in Farmers Branch, Texas as a Texas owned and operated company that manufactures and installs custom shades. They build everything to fit each patio or indoor space and sell direct from the factory to remove the middle man. The shades block sun, bugs and wind so owners can use their outdoor areas all year. They also handle awnings and offer both motorized and manual options with remote controls.

Homeowners hire them to add solar screens and drop shades that cut heat and glare on patios. Reviews describe jobs where the shades kept bugs out and lowered temperatures enough to make the space usable again. Carlos works with customers on color choices, rails and details from the start. Installers such as Nestor, Angel, Efrain, Max and Gabino handle tricky spots like AC pipes, set up the tracks and motors, and finish so the shades roll smooth and look clean.

The crew shows up on time for both new installs and later adjustments, even years after the first job. They explain the remote operation, answer questions without delay and clean the workspace before they leave. Customers note the prices land lower than other bids and the work finishes ahead of the promised schedule. Service stays local to the area around their Farmers Branch address.

All reviews give five stars and keep coming back to the same points on product quality, careful measuring and steady follow through from the sales team to the install crews. Owners say the shades hold up well and change how they use their patios.

“We just had our patio shades installed and we are blown away! Carlos helped us from the beginning and explained everything in detail. From shade color to rails to everything in between. It was a very simple process. We are very satisfied with the quality of the shades, install and attention to detail. The communication and prompt follow up was outstanding! We can now enjoy our new patio with no bugs & sun glare! Thanks again and would highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their patio!”

“Refered by a friend. Technicians Nestor and Angel know what they’re doing! We have AC pipes along the path where we need to install the screens, Tom did a very good job of measuring. Made all the proper adjustments to make it work. We are VERY happy with DropShade!”

“Our DropShades are definitely 5 star quality! Carlos did an excellent job from the sales standpoint, and fully working with us and explaining every detail to us.

Thank you again Carlos for everything you did! We will highly recommend DropShades to our friends!”

“Efrain and Max have done an amazing job at my house. First with the installation of the electronic track system and today with the installation of the beautiful shades themselves. I had to total of 4 large areas with each shade installed perfectly. Efrain and Max were professional and kind. I know they both take great pride in the company and the service they provide for their customers. I highly recommend DropShade as a company that provides a top of the line product with outstanding Installation!!!”

“Integrity=Excellent Service=Excellent Product=Excellent I would highly recommend this company “DropShade” for motorized screen solutions for the three main categories listed above. Our three-screen project was completed May/June 2025. Carlos and his team have been available for any questions, concerns, or adjustments with no hesitation or delays. How refreshing to have a service provider who actually cares about the customer, and not just care for you until they get your money!”

“Efrain and Max did an excellent job! They were on time, great communication on details of install, clean workspace and very knowledgeable of the product. My experience with DropShade has been wonderful! 10 out of 10.”

“The guys did a great job of installation and explaining the remote operation. Our shades look fantastic. We just love them.”

“Thanks to our Drop Shade salesman Carlos Vargas and his two guys, Angel and Gabino! These guys did an excellent job of customer service and installation. These Drop Shades are a game changer! We wish we would have done this sooner! They block the West sun completely and reduces temperature under our patio immensely. Can’t wait to see what difference they make during the winter months. Thanks again! If you’re even thinking about some Drop Shades…just do it! You won’t regret it!! Josh and Dionne;)”

“We love our drop shades! They’re beautiful, easy to use, and the remote works perfectly. When we noticed a small issue, Angel and Gabino came out right away, diagnosed it quickly, and had everything working smoothly in no time. They were professional, friendly, and great to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend this company and especially Angel and Gabino if you’re considering new shades.”

“This is the second time we have used Dropshade. The first time was 12 years ago when they installed shades on our patio. We love them however we wanted shades that close the patio off to dust, bugs, and debris. So without hesitation we called Droshade for a quote. They were thousands of dollars cheaper than I thought they would be and they have a superior product compared to their competitors. The shades were in way ahead of schedule. Angel and Nestor were on time and spent most of the day installing our new shades. They were friendly and courteous. My wife and I ask a couple of things from them and they didn’t hesitate to satisfy us. They cleaned everything up, showed us how to work our new remote and explained the shades throughly. They couldn’t have been nicer. We love our shades! In 12 years if we want a different shade we will call again. Keith & Kathy”

“First, our entire experience with DropShade couldn't have gone any more smoothly. Tom (who was terrific to work with) helped us with selection color, measurements and pricing (and was substantially lower than our other bidder). He estimated our shade would be ready within 5-6 weeks. In less than 4 weeks we received a call to install. Efrain and Max were professional, friendly and informative. Got the shade installed in less than three hours. We would highly recommend this company!”

“I would highly recommend DropShade! Carlos Vargas was very professional and helpful throughout. He was thorough in explaining the various options, and made our overall experience easy and stress-free. His installers, Angel and Gabino, did a great job and left a very clean installation. We are very happy with our new motorized shade, and extremely satisfied with the overall customer service we received!”

“Everything from our initial consultation with Mike to the technicians completing the install was immaculate! If you are in the market, this is the company to go with. My husband made a lot of calls and did a bunch of research but we could not be happier with our Drop Shades! We are pleased with how easy the shades are to operate, the visibility we still have, and the overall process. 10/10”

“These shades have made a complete difference to our patio. Carlos and his team did exceptional work at a great price. I fully recommend them and promise you will not be disappointed.”

“Nothing less than an outstanding job by DropShade. Installation of electrical for remote controlled motors (A must!), and the rolldown shade as well as the 2 in 1 awning shade were done perfectly and very professionally. I would consider the installers perfectionists that made sure the job was done right and to my satisfaction. As you can see in the photos, the Tumbleweed 95% opacity is beautiful and visually transparent so that we can see through for a view of our yard and pool (important safety factor!). The awning type DropShade is very unique and very impressive. Well worth the cost as is the regular DropShade which rides a cable in our case. Very sound and solid installation. All components are of super high quality with the best warranty available. The DropShade company was excellent to work with as was Jared the estimator. I am very hard to please and I can say with all honesty, this project exceeded my expectations. Most importantly, my wife feels the same way!! DropShade has my highest recommendations. Thanks so very much for an outstanding job well done!!”

“Shout out to DropShade and the team Juan and Gabino for a fabulous screen system, we absolutely love it!!! Gabino and Juan were great and took time to walk me through how to use them, also, I think they left my back patio cleaner than when they came!!!! The sales person that came gave perfect advice on color etc… We could not be happier, thank you !!! Yeah!!! 🎉”

“We purchase our Dropshade 4 years ago and recently needed a checkup and an adjustment on our shade. Gabino and Angel who were very polite and knowledgeable came out and quickly helped us with our Dropshade adjustments and replaced our remote. Our house faces west and our patio gets the blazing heat of the Texas sun. Our motorized 18’ long Dropshade has changed the way we can enjoy our patio as it not only shades us from the sun but it extends the shaded surface because we chose the one that extends out as it lowers - and has helped keep our home cooler on the inside. There is not a day that goes by that we don’t use it. The people at Dropshade are very nice and professional and I highly recommend their product.”
