- Material: The chosen fabric or metal material can impact the price, with some materials being more premium or durable than others.
- Features: Additional features like motorization, remote controls, wind sensors, or integrated lighting will add to the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does awning installation typically take?
The duration varies depending on the type and size of the awning and the complexity of the installation site. Most residential installations can be completed in half a day or a full day. We can provide a time estimate during your consultation.
What kind of maintenance is required for awnings?
Maintenance varies by material. Fabric awnings generally require occasional cleaning to remove dirt and debris, and retractable awnings may benefit from periodic lubrication of the moving parts. Metal awnings are typically very low maintenance. We provide specific care instructions for your chosen awning.
Can awnings withstand harsh weather?
Modern awnings are built to be durable. However, retractable awnings should be retracted during high winds, heavy rain, or snow to prevent damage. Fixed awnings are designed to withstand typical weather conditions but may have limits in severe storms. We will advise you on the weather limits of your specific awning.
Do I need a permit to install an awning?
Permit requirements vary by location and the size/type of the awning. We can help you understand if a permit is likely needed for your project and assist with the necessary documentation.
