Our Mission In Charleston

Coastal Shade Pros exists because Lowcountry homeowners deserve a straight-talking local expert they can trust with their outdoor space.

Charleston Homeowners Deserve an Outdoor Space They Can Actually Use — That’s Why We Exist

Coastal Shade Pros was built on one simple belief — that every Lowcountry family deserves to enjoy every inch of their home, inside and out, in comfort and style, every day of the year.

Meet Todd Mason — Owner, Coastal Shade Pros

Todd Mason has always believed that the best businesses are built on two things — doing right by the customer and standing behind your word. That’s not a philosophy he picked up from a business book. It’s a standard he held himself to for over 25 years in law enforcement, and it’s the same standard he brings to every consultation, every custom installation, and every follow-up call he makes to make sure Charleston homeowners are completely satisfied with their outdoor space.

Todd holds a degree in Business Management and founded Coastal Shade Pros with a clear purpose — to raise the bar for shade solutions across the Charleston Tri-County and Coastal Beaches region. As Charleston’s authorized dealer for both SunPro and Azenco, Todd chose his partners specifically because their products reflect his own values. Made in the USA. Built to last. Backed by the strongest warranties in the industry. When Todd puts his name on an installation, he needs to know the product will perform flawlessly through Lowcountry summers, storm season, and salt air year-round — and his product lines give him that confidence every single time.

Todd’s approach is refreshingly direct. He’ll come to your home, listen carefully to what you need, give you an honest recommendation, and never steer you toward something that isn’t the right fit for your space or your budget. Lowcountry homeowners who’ve worked with Todd consistently describe the same experience — someone who showed up prepared, told the truth, delivered exceptional work, and followed through long after the last screw was set.

That’s not a sales pitch. That’s just who Todd Mason is.

This Page Is Really About You

You’ve invested real money building a home you love on the South Carolina coast. You chose your neighborhood, your layout, your outdoor furniture, your porch. You imagined warm evenings outside with your family, weekend cookouts with friends, quiet mornings with coffee before the day got busy.

And then the Lowcountry showed up in full force. The afternoon storms that roll in without warning. The mosquitoes and no-see-ums that appear at dusk. The oppressive summer heat that empties a patio by noon. And suddenly that beautiful outdoor space became the place you walk past on your way back inside.

That’s the problem Coastal Shade Pros was created to solve. Not because it’s a good business opportunity — but because it’s genuinely frustrating to invest in a Lowcountry home and not be able to fully live in it.

Why We Chose Our Brands — And Why It Matters to You

Coastal Shade Pros doesn’t carry a shelf full of competing brands. We don’t comparison shop product lines or install whatever’s cheapest and easiest to source. Every awning, screen, and pergola we install comes from one of two manufacturers — SunPro or Azenco — and that decision was completely deliberate.

SunPro is the fastest-growing awning and screen manufacturer in America, and they’ve earned that position the hard way — by building a genuinely superior product, manufacturing it in the United States, delivering it faster than any competitor in the industry, and backing it with a 10-year non-prorated warranty covering hardware, fabric, and motor. No asterisks. No fine print. No diminishing coverage over time.

Azenco, a Hunter Douglas company, sets the standard for engineered pergola systems — combining architectural precision with American-made construction and finishes built to stand up to coastal salt air, UV exposure, and the wind loads the Lowcountry demands. Their louvered pergola systems offer the kind of adjustable, year-round outdoor living that transforms a backyard into a true outdoor room.

Todd has direct relationships with both SunPro and Azenco and has seen firsthand how their products are designed and tested for exactly the kind of climate Charleston homeowners deal with every day. That connection means Coastal Shade Pros customers get access to the full product lines, the latest innovations, and authorized dealer support that box stores and independent retailers simply cannot offer.

When you choose Coastal Shade Pros, you’re not just getting a local installer. You’re getting Charleston’s direct connection to two of the best outdoor living manufacturers in the country.
