"Everything went well from the first contact via the internet, to the follow up call, to having a scheduled  sales representative come to my house to measure for the awning and to bring fabric samples.  It was a pleasure dealing with them and they installed the awning in a professional and timely matter.  The crew knows what to do.  I am thrilled with the quality and look of the awning.  I would definitely use them again.

"The patio cover was installed without any major hiccups. It was installed as designed. The pricing was very competitive. However, the installer made some minor mistakes. When these mistakes were brought to the attention of the company owner, the mistakes were corrected and a courtesy refund issued for any inconveniences caused. I would use PatioCrew again and recommend them to friends and colleagues.

"Aero Patio installed a patio cover for my backyard.  The initial install  went alright.  It was supposed to have a shade cloth put on which ended up taking three months to get.  I had told them it was important to me to have it to prevent the sun from heating up the back of the house.  That was frustrating. Last October, 2015, I noticed  rainwater was collecting in one of the lattice tubes and pouring out of the end. Even though two years have passed, it is still under warranty.  Contacted Steve - took two weeks to get him to come and look. Another couple of weeks came and went, but to their credit, he finally  had an employee come and fill holes with a putty ( or glue).  This repair did not work and Steve said he would need to replace that lattice tube. Have been contacting Steve since last December to come and replace the  leaking lattice tube.  Always an excuse for not coming.  Last time I spoke to him  he said he would get it repaired soon.  That was four months ago and he will no longer answer my phone calls."

"I was very impressed with Abbott Awnings.  The representative who came for the initial consultation was very patient in helping me decide my design and installation options.  The crew that did the installation was prompt, very professional, and they did an excellent job.  The price was very competitive, and the quality of the product is great.  They offered a better warranty than most of their competitors.  And the finished installation looks gorgeous!  I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Patio Covers questions, answered by experts

It’s best to opt for a lightweight roof, as a heavy roof adds a lot of weight and pressure to the support posts and hardware and destabilizes the structure. Vinyl is a good, lightweight option, as is a nice open trellis, louvered aluminum or vinyl slats, or fabric panels. Clear polycarbonate is another great option that offers seamless shelter and additional UV protection without completely obscuring the sunshine. You can also choose retractable coverings or an awning that you only use in wet weather or when you need additional shade.

The average cost to build a pergola ranges from $2,200 to $6,400, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from $1,400 to $4,400, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.

There are many materials to choose from, including picket fencing, wood slats, galvanized metal skirting, dog-ear fence panels, scallop wood fence panels, bamboo screens, and other decorative screens. You can search for materials at local big box stores like Home Depot or scour online home improvement sites. Good search terms to use are fencing, skirting, and privacy panels.

Hurricane fabric is a temporary form of hurricane protection that offers an alternative to boarding up windows or installing traditional storm panels. Unlike hurricane screens, which are permanently attached to your home, hurricane fabric is installed over your windows and other openings before a storm.

In terms of effectiveness, hurricane fabric is tested and proven to protect homes from Category 5 hurricanes, which can have winds over 157 miles per hour. When installed properly, it is designed to block the majority of wind and rain and protect against water, debris, and projectile damage.

While the fabric is exceptionally durable, windows can still break if hit directly by flying debris at high velocity. However, it is a good protective measure against an impending storm. For comparison, hurricane fabric is more protective and durable than hurricane window film. While boarding up windows is easier than installing the fabric, it is more labor-intensive and requires storing heavy plywood.

To further increase the chances of your windows surviving a hurricane, you can take additional steps like securing outdoor items, elevating HVAC units, and fortifying your home's foundation.

To ensure the installation process goes smoothly, it's wise to ask a potential pro several questions. Key topics to cover include:

  • Licensing and Insurance: Do you have a professional license and insurance to perform this work? This is crucial as installing an awning into a home's exterior can be a complex job.

  • Cost Estimate: What was the price of similar jobs you've completed? Awning installation costs can vary based on size, design, and location, so this helps establish a general price range.

  • Project Timeline: How long will this project take to complete? Getting an estimated timeline provides peace of mind, even though unforeseen hurdles can occur.

  • Building Permits: Will I need a building permit for this project, and who is responsible for obtaining it? An experienced local contractor will be knowledgeable about local rules and regulations.

  • References and Portfolio: Do you have references from previous clients or photos of completed projects? Speaking with past clients and seeing previous work can give you insight into their experience and the quality of their work.
