About Us
A Family Business Built on Doing It Right
Jeff Carstetter opened Sun Shades & Graphics in Columbia, SC in 1978 with a simple mission: help South Carolina homeowners stay comfortable in their own homes. Over four decades later, that mission hasn’t changed. We’ve just gotten better at it.
No subcontractors, ever. Every installation is done by our own team — 75+ combined years of experience, and we’re proud of every job they do.
Only Sunesta, XPEL and LLumar. We install Sunesta awnings and shades, and XPEL and LLumar window films — brands we’ve trusted for years.
Fast, professional turnaround. Window films installed in about a week. Awnings and shades in 3–4 weeks. Your order is placed within 24 hours of your go-ahead.
The Mobile Showroom
Your Showroom Comes to You
When you work with Sun Shades & Graphics, visiting the showroom doesn’t mean leaving your home or office. We bring samples from our complete catalog directly to you, so you can see exactly how each option will look in your own light — no guessing how your new solar shades, awnings or window film will turn out.
We’re based in Columbia, SC and have made hundreds of thousands of measurements across the state over 45 years. We take the guesswork out of measurements, and every installation is performed by our own expert craftsmen.
