Our Story
Tony Pons — Founder & Owner
Tony Pons is a licensed general contractor with over 34 years of experience in the construction industry. After decades of building and managing commercial projects across the Florida Panhandle, Tony recognized a growing need for high-quality, professionally installed shade solutions for commercial outdoor spaces.
That recognition led to the founding of Emerald Coast Shade — a company built on Tony's deep commitment to quality craftsmanship, honest business practices, and genuine care for every client's project. As a Service-Disabled Veteran, Tony brings the discipline, attention to detail, and dedication to excellence that defines military service into every shade sail installation.
Today, Emerald Coast Shade serves schools, municipalities, parks, pools, restaurants, hotels, sports venues, and commercial properties throughout Northwest Florida. Every project is personally overseen by Tony to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and durability.
