Founded by Jose Suarez ‘the visionary,’ and overseen by his daughter Caitlin, Smart Shade Structures designs and develops custom motorized and louvered shade structures, including bioclimatic retractable pergola systems, retractable awnings, and motorized progressive screens. Jose started the company with the vision of helping Floridians enjoy outdoor spaces year-round by adding shade, rain protection, privacy, and beauty to homes, restaurants, and gathering places of all types simply by combining beautiful architectural design with functionality optimized for Florida’s climate. The company takes great pride in custom-designing each outdoor oasis, making it unique and highly functional for the customer’s needs.
