About us

American Sun Control has been serving the Mid-Missouri area and surrounding communities since 1985. The company began as American Safety and Security Film (ASSF), installing solar and security film in second homes at the Lake of the Ozarks. ASSF maintained the security film business through relationships with the FBI but as demand for window tinting increased, American Sun Control (ASC) was born. American Sun Control was the first at the Lake of the Ozarks to install window tinting film but as time went by the company began to provide other products and services to the residents of the Lake area. Karen Zaborac, awarded the 1998 Small Business Person of the Year, maintained their existing glass tinting clients and began offering fabric awnings which lead into patio covers, retractable deck awnings, deck and dock shades and party tent rentals. The growth of their business caught the attention of SCORE, Senior Corps of Retired Executives, and they awarded American Sun Control the honorable title of National Small Business of the Year in 1998. Today, American Sun Control manufactures do-it-yourself railing and supplies dealers with the DIY Railing System. The dealers sell to do it yourselfers all over Missouri. American Sun Control also continues to manufacture and install custom aluminum railing, spiral staircases, Phantom retractable screens and doors, screen enclosures, awnings, dock shades, deck shades, deck covers, patio covers, retractable awnings and glass window tinting.

It's all hand-crafted aluminum and powder coated. It's absolutely beautiful and incredibly durable compared to steel or wood. A special shout out to Steve and Randy for paying such attention to detail.

My realtor referred me to this company my first contact was April 15th via text, no contact back. Texted again April 17th, response back was I would get a call back end of the following week. In turn I made 4 additional calls with the same promise that I will get a call back, no call. I located owner of record on the Mo Sec. of State website, Rob Jones. Called May 16th got Rob on the phone, asked if they were taking on new business, Rob’s angry. I explained it was a sincere question and went into the details of my attempts to contact them. Doesn’t matter Rob’s ******, so I ended the conversation and called another company that was more than willing to help me.

Poorly. Rehung awning 4 inches behind original installation , we had to remove newly replaced splash guard and now the awning does not open without runbbing our new guttering. Their solution was for us to purchase a motor from them and have an electrician install it at our cost. We were told they were having a meeting to discuss possible solutions and that they would call us afterwards. We never received a call but received a bill for $400.

What a terrible experience. American Sun Control installed a fence and 2 locking gates around our pool. We noticed, shortly after install that my 3 year old son could open the locked gate. It turns out, if you push down with just a little bit of pressure the lock disengages and the gate can swing open freely. I called American Sun Control and spoke with Steve Russell. He was courteous and assured me the issue would be resolved. I called and left several messages all of which went unanswered. After a month of no response I called and spoke with a manager, Pam. Pam informed me that the gate was working fine, but my son wasn't using it properly. I insisted that if a locked gate does not keep a 3 year old out of a pool, the gate is faulty. Pam became very unprofessional telling me that when she had young children she "watched her kids". What an unreal experience. I called my pool builder and he sighed. He informed me that they have terrible service, hates to use them and has heard many complaints from others. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone.

Contract signed and returned via email on May 25, 2017 with installation by Father's Day weekend. I followed up one week later to be told that the email address THEY provided was incorrect so the contract was not received. Initially I was told this would delay installation until after Father's Day but with the explanation that I said this was a gift for Father's Day they did agree to install on time. Upon arrival Father's Day weekend it was clear that the sunshade was hung in the wrong place. I telephoned American Sun Shade immediately but it was after hours. I received a return call from Rob on Monday June 19, 2017 and he agreed it was hung in the wrong place and it would be corrected. Today, June 30, I was contacted by the 'installer' and told the sunshade was the wrong size and could not be moved.( I assumed that my conversation on June 19 with Rob prompted an IMMEDIATE correction of the error, not 2 weeks later.) After speaking with Rob at American Sun Control I was told that new installations would continue as they have a schedule to keep. Fixing my sunshade would occur when time allowed. He also stated that he couldn't apologize for the mistake as he wasn't sure "who" made the mistake. We have made the decision to let American Sun Shade remove the shade that is the wrong size and hung in the wrong place and will have professional installation done by another local company.

They were great. Showed up on time, did the installation, cleaned up and answered all of our questions before they left. I was pleasantly surprised when they called 30 days later to see how things were going and to again ask if we had any questions. Great to work with – nice people, on time and on budget.
