About Us
Meet the Local Experts Behind Your Outdoor Comfort
Like many businesses, we started with interior window treatments—custom blinds, shades, and shutters. And while we still offer those services, I noticed something: my customers weren't just looking for ways to improve their indoor spaces. They wanted to actually use their outdoor spaces.
The Problem I Kept Hearing:
"Our patio is beautiful, but it's too hot to use after 2 PM."
"We love our deck, but the bugs drive us inside every evening."
"I want to work in my garage, but it turns into an oven (or freezer in the winter)."
That's when I realized the real opportunity wasn't just inside the home—it was outside.
Our Shift to Outdoor Solutions:
Today, Shade Haven STL specializes in motorized exterior screens and shades for patios, decks, garages, and outdoor living spaces. We've invested in the best motorized systems available, partnered with top manufacturers, and refined our installation process to deliver outdoor comfort solutions that work flawlessly—even in St. Louis weather.
We're still the same family-owned business you can trust. We've just shifted our focus to where homeowners need us most: making outdoor spaces comfortable, usable, and enjoyable year-round.
Our Mission
To help St. Charles County homeowners reclaim their outdoor spaces with custom motorized screens and shades that deliver comfort, privacy, and control at the touch of a button.
We believe your patio, deck, and garage shouldn’t sit empty because they’re too hot, too buggy, or too uncomfortable. With the right motorized solutions—and expert installation—these spaces become extensions of your home that you’ll actually use and love.
Small Team, Big Expertise
Shade Haven STL is intentionally a small, family-owned operation. Why? Because when you work with us, you get direct access to the owner and experienced professionals who genuinely care about the quality of every installation.
Brent – Owner & Lead Installer
With over 20 years in the window treatment and outdoor shade industry, Brent handles every consultation personally. He’s not a salesperson—he’s the expert who will design your solution, oversee your installation, and make sure everything works perfectly. When you call Shade Haven STL, you’re talking to the person who will actually do the work.
Our Installation Team
Every member of our installation crew is trained in motorized screen and shade systems, electrical integration, and smart home programming. We don’t use subcontractors or day laborers—just experienced professionals who understand the precision required for flawless motorized installations.
What This Means for You:
- You work directly with the owner from start to finish
- Consistent quality on every project (no variability from different crews)
- Accountability—Brent stands behind every installation personally
- Deep expertise in motorized systems, not just general handyman work
- Ongoing support from people who know your specific installation
We’re not the biggest motorized screen company in St. Louis—but we’re the most dedicated to getting it right.
Commercial-Grade Systems, Residential Pricing
At Shade Haven STL, we don’t cut corners on materials. We use the same commercial-grade motorized systems trusted by professional installers nationwide—because outdoor screens and shades need to withstand St. Louis weather, not just look good at installation.
Our Motorized Systems Include:
- Weather-Resistant Motors: Sealed, outdoor-rated motors designed specifically for exterior applications. These aren’t adapted interior motors—they’re engineered to handle heat, humidity, and temperature fluctuations.
- UV-Stabilized Fabrics: Premium mesh screens and shade fabrics that resist fading, mildew, and degradation from constant sun exposure. Available in multiple colors and opacities to match your home and privacy needs.
- Durable Hardware & Mounting: Powder-coated aluminum housings, stainless steel fasteners, and reinforced mounting systems designed to handle wind loads and daily operation for years.
- Smart Home Integration: Every motorized system integrates seamlessly with:
- Google Home (voice control via Google Assistant)
- Amazon Alexa (voice control via Alexa)
- Apple HomeKit (voice control via Siri, automation via iPhone/iPad)
- Dedicated smartphone apps for remote operation
- Programmable schedules and automation routines
- Manufacturer Warranties: Most motorized systems carry 5-10 year manufacturer warranties on motors and components. We only partner with brands that stand behind their products.
Why This Matters:
A poorly made motorized screen can bind, tear, or fail within months; especially in St. Louis heat and humidity. Cheap motors burn out. Low-quality fabrics fade and deteriorate. Improper mounting leads to wind damage.
We invest in premium systems because we want your motorized screens working perfectly 5, 10, even 15 years from now…not just on installation day.
