Question 1

Will it survive Phoenix monsoons?

Accepted Answer

Engineered for 90 MPH winds with marine-grade 316 stainless hardware and a 15-year warranty. Architectural-grade shade fabric blocks up to 96% of UV and keeps the surfaces under the shade up to 30°F cooler.

Question 2

Are these actually engineered structures or just fabric?

Accepted Answer

PE-stamped engineered structures. 90 MPH wind rating. Marine-grade 316 stainless hardware throughout. Permits coordinated through our licensed engineering partner so the structure ships with real load calcs, not a generic template.

Question 3

Residential or commercial, same crew?

Accepted Answer

Same Phoenix-trained installation crew, same marine-grade hardware, same 15-year warranty across both. Custom 3D design free either way.

Question 4

What does a residential project cost?

Accepted Answer

Most Phoenix backyard projects run $8,000 to $12,000. Free on-site 3D design and a real itemized quote in the same visit. No high-pressure sales.

Question 5

What does a commercial project cost?

Accepted Answer

Restaurant patios run $15,000 to $45,000. HOA pool decks $25,000 to $80,000. Multi-family courtyards $12,000 to $35,000 per zone. Free on-site walk plus a custom proposal sized to your property.

Question 6

What about HOA approval and city permits?

Accepted Answer

HOA submittal package included. Board-ready pitch deck plus 3D renderings, spec sheet, insurance, and warranty docs. City permits coordinated through our licensed engineering partner so your team does not have to project-manage the paperwork.

Question 7

What does the Free Design Visit include?

Accepted Answer

We come to you, measure the space, and run a ShadeCast sun analysis on the exact spots you want covered. You see a custom 3D render of your sail before anything is built. Real itemized quote same visit.

Question 8

What is the warranty?

Accepted Answer

A 15-year warranty on the shade fabric, backed by the manufacturer, against UV degradation and material defects. Apex warrants the installation workmanship for one year from completion, and we stand behind our work well past that. Marine-grade 316 stainless hardware on every install.

Question 9

Where do you install?

Accepted Answer

Phoenix Metro and surrounding areas: Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, and the surrounding areas. If you are outside that, ask anyway. We cover much of central Arizona for the right project.
