Made In The Shade Bucks County crew members stand ready to help clients upgrade their homes in time for the spring season.
2026 is the year of the exterior, according to Tony Rich, owner of the MITS Bucks County franchise. He expects a continued trend of upgraded outdoor spaces, which accounted for approximately 35% of their installations last summer.
The team’s exterior services include motorized awnings and motorized solar screens for covered patios, which provide wind protection, too.
“Our outdoor retractable awnings feature durable, weather-resistant fabrics with a variety of fabric colors and patterns,” Tony says. “They complement any architectural style, from classic to contemporary.”
Outdoor upgrades have been part of Tony and his team’s repertoire for seven years, but he says they’ve seen skyrocketing in popularity during the last year.
“Especially in warm weather, people spend a lot of time in their outdoor spaces; whether they live in a place with a lot of bugs or they get a lot of direct sunlight, these protections can help them enjoy the space for longer,” Tony says.
“A lot of people don’t even know these types of products exist, but as soon as they see them, they want to add them to their space, even if it’s just to increase privacy,” he adds.
Tony also is noticing increased interest in woven woods, a type of Roman shade featuring a natural wood pattern. “These shades offer not just functionality, but a decorative personality,” he explains.
