Our Mission: A Straight-Talking Shade Expert for the Carolinas

Simpli Shaded exists because Charlotte and the Carolina’s homeowners deserve a straight-talking local expert on retractable patio awnings they can trust with their outdoor space.

Built Around What Carolina Homeowners Actually Need

Simpli Shaded was built on one simple belief — that every Charlotte and Carolina family deserves to enjoy every inch of their home, inside and out, in comfort and style, every day of the year.

Meet Ronald — Owner, Simpli Shaded

Ronald has always believed that the best businesses are built on two things — doing right by the customer and standing behind the product. Those aren’t values he learned in a boardroom. They’re values he brings to every consultation, every installation, and every follow-up made to make sure Carolina homeowners are completely satisfied with their new shading system.

As Charlotte’s trusted local expert, Ronald chose to specialize in SunPro motorized awnings and screens specifically because they transform how families live outside. Made in the USA, Twitchell , Phifer and Sunbrella built to last, and engineered to handle Carolina weather, these shading solutions deliver flawless performance year after year.

When Ronald puts his name on an installation, he needs to know it will exceed expectations — and using top-tier products gives him that confidence every single time.

Ronald’s approach is refreshingly straightforward. He’ll give you an honest recommendation and never pressure you into something that isn’t the right fit. Charlotte and Carolina homeowners who’ve worked with Ronald consistently describe the same experience — someone who showed up on time, told the truth, did exceptional work, and followed through long after the installation was complete.

That’s not a sales pitch. That’s just who Ronald is.

This Page Is Really About You

Most “About Us” pages talk endlessly about the company. We want to start with you—because that’s what Simpli Shaded is actually about.

You’ve spent real money building a home you love in the Charlotte and Carolina area. You chose your neighborhood, your layout, your outdoor furniture, your deck. You imagined summer evenings outside with your family, weekend cookouts with friends, mornings with coffee on the patio before the day gets busy.

And then the Carolina heat showed up. The afternoon storms. The bugs. And suddenly that beautiful outdoor space became the place you walk past on your way back inside.

That’s the problem Simpli Shaded was created to solve. It’s genuinely frustrating to invest in a home and not be able to fully live in it with custom awnings motorized retractable screens protecting your outdoor living space.
