Our Mission In Bradenton

BGM Wind & Shade Systems exists because Gulf Coast homeowners deserve a straight-talking local expert they can trust with their outdoor space.

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

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

Meet Ricardo DeGuezala — Owner, BGM Wind & Shade Systems

Ricardo DeGuezala has always believed that the best businesses are built on two things — doing right by the customer and standing behind the product. Those aren’t values he learned in a corporate office. They’re values he brings to every consultation, every custom installation, and every follow-up call he makes to make sure Bradenton homeowners are completely satisfied with their outdoor space.

As Bradenton’s authorized SunPro dealer, Ricardo chose to partner with SunPro specifically because their products reflect those same values. Made in the USA. Built to last. Backed by the strongest warranty in the industry. Delivered faster than any competitor. When Ricardo puts his name on an installation, he needs to know the product will perform flawlessly through Florida summers, storm season, and everything in between — and SunPro gives him that confidence every single time.

Ricardo’s approach is refreshingly straightforward. He’ll come to your home, listen to what you need, give you an honest recommendation, and never pressure you into something that isn’t the right fit. Gulf Coast homeowners who’ve worked with Ricardo consistently describe the same experience — someone who showed up on time, told the truth, did exceptional work, and followed through long after the installation was complete.

That’s not a sales pitch. That’s just who Ricardo DeGuezala is.

This Page Is Really About You

You’ve spent real money building a home you love on Florida’s Gulf Coast. You chose your neighborhood, your layout, your outdoor furniture, your lanai. You imagined warm evenings outside with your family, weekend cookouts with friends, mornings with coffee on the patio before the day gets busy.

And then Bradenton’s heat showed up. The afternoon thunderstorms. The no-see-ums. Hurricane season looming every year. And suddenly that beautiful outdoor space became the place you walk past on your way back inside.

That’s the problem BGM Wind & Shade Systems was created to solve. Not because it’s a good business opportunity — but because it’s genuinely frustrating to invest in a Gulf Coast home and not be able to fully live in it.

Why BGM Chose SunPro — And Why It Matters to You

BGM Wind & Shade Systems doesn’t carry multiple awning brands. We don’t comparison shop product lines or offer whatever’s cheapest. We install SunPro motorized screens and retractable awnings exclusively — and that decision was 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 that covers hardware, fabric, and motor. No asterisks. No fine print. No diminishing coverage over time.
Ricardo has a direct relationship with SunPro corporate and has seen firsthand how the products are designed and built to perform in exactly the kind of climate Gulf Coast homeowners deal with every day — intense UV, high humidity, and hurricane-force wind events. That connection means BGM customers get access to the full SunPro product line, the latest innovations, and dealer-level support that independent retailers simply can’t offer.
When you choose BGM Wind & Shade Systems, you’re not just getting a local installer. You’re getting Bradenton’s direct connection to one of the best awning and screen manufacturers in the country.
