Q: What are the benefits of an awning?

• <div><p>Awnings offer a number of benefits, including:</p><ul><li><p>Reduced summer home cooling costs with lower solar heat gains</p></li><li><p>Protection from sun, rain, and snow damage</p></li><li><p>Increased curb appeal for your home</p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind that awnings also have drawbacks, including the potential to reduce your view, block natural light, and create new occasional home maintenance needs.</p></div>

Q: What are the different types of awnings?

• <div><p>Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.</p><p>Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.</p></div>

Q: How do material and design choices influence the price of installing a metal awning or patio cover?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and additional features like lighting or gutters.</p></div>

Q: How long can I expect to take to install an awning?

• <div><p>How long it takes to install an awning at your house doesn&rsquo;t vary by much. Most awnings on the market today come with easy-to-follow installation directions. You can expect to spend at least a couple of hours up to a full day installing yours. But in general, installing an awning shouldn&rsquo;t take more than one day&rsquo;s work.</p></div>

Q: Should I install retractable awnings myself?

• <div><p>If you're handy, it might be worth trying to install retractable awnings yourself. Just keep in mind that motorized retractable awnings require much more know-how, and the risk of something costly going wrong (such as damaging your new awnings) is higher.</p><p>Mechanical awnings should be easy to install for the average person with some handyman skills.</p></div>

"SCOTT WARE -JNR REP, TRIED TO BREAK INTO MY HOUSE!!! I HAVE VIDEO! YES, you read that right and i have a multitude of videos and pictures of him speeding off of my driveway! we also have documentation of calling the office to make sure we could schedule at our convenience after the company broke our first deadline. the representative (CRIMINAL), SCOTT WARE, LICENSE#: 981478, tried to break into our back gate to get footage of our yard-- mind you, he peered over the gate and took pictures of my kids' rooms along with our backyard property. when he initially came for the consult, there was no lock on the gate. some comments he made had me to feel uncomfortable (making note that our dog wasn't a guard dog and how unsecured our property was- not in a helpful manner) and i had my husband put up more automated lighting and an extra camera. glad i did! We have all the footage we need. and if you have already hired them and they know where you live, take precaution!! the company has refused all accountability for their employees’ actions. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was told by his superiors to give reason to cancel our contract. Either way, JNR CONDONES THIS BEHAVIOR. Naturally, it doesn't end here, however, be warned!!!!
