Keep the view, lose the glare
Many Eastside homes are built around the view, with walls of glass facing Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish or the Cascades. That glass brings in late-afternoon sun and heat, and the glare can make a great room unusable on a summer evening.
Exterior shade stops the heat before it reaches the glass. Motorized screens cut glare while you still see out, and a retractable awning or louvered pergola turns the deck into a room you'll actually use.
Clean, modern designs fit newer homes, like cassette awnings that disappear when retracted and screens with tracks hidden in the frame. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we can give you drawings, colors and fabric samples for your architectural review.

Customer stories
What Eastside customers say
★★★★★
“Quality is night and day vs. the cheaper awning we had before. You can hear the difference. The Regal is quieter and feels much more solid when it extends.”
Patricia W., Bellevue
★★★★★
“The drop shade is the reason we picked the Regal over the Olympus. We get late-afternoon glare straight off the lake, and pulling the screen down kills it instantly.”
Alex T., Mercer Island
★★★★★
“The Rainier team measured carefully, talked through every option, and didn't try to upsell us to the full cassette when the semi was the right fit. Two seasons in and the housing still looks brand new.”
Daniel H., Kirkland
Common questions
Eastside awning questions
Can you help with HOA approval?
Yes. We can provide drawings, frame colors and fabric samples so you can submit your project for architectural review.
How much does an awning cost?
Our retractable awnings start at $1,800 for a Shasta drop arm window awning and $4,300 for an Olympus patio awning. Starting prices are for a manual awning with minimal options, before installation. See the cost guide for every model.
What's best for afternoon glare off the lake?
For windows, motorized retractable screens block glare and heat while keeping the view. For a deck, a Regal or Olympus awning with a drop shade blocks low sun that a standard awning misses.
Do you work in Sammamish, Issaquah and Woodinville?
Yes. We work across the whole Eastside and the greater Puget Sound.
How does the free consultation work?
We come to your home, measure the space, bring fabric and frame samples, and give you a clear quote. There's no obligation.
