"Really great service, totally professional, did more than I asked for, made sure that everything was cleaned up and orderly, finished what the said they would do (and more) in the time that they said it would take. I will definitely hire them again."
"So far, it has been pretty good but they haven’t done the work yet. They have been very responsive. They have gone through the bidding process very respectfully. They are supposed to come over next week to finalize the design on the job they are going to do for me. They quoted me $28000. It has been a pretty positive experience so far. I had another contractor bid the job, that was a terrible experience, and these guys were, much, much better. I liked that they did not put any high-pressure sales on me like some other contractors and the others were twice as much in their pricing. They gave me a quote, told me it was good for six months and told me I could make a decision whenever I want. They were pretty kicked back, the guy I dealt with was Graham and I think he is one of the owners. He was pretty straightforward and didn’t not provide any high-pressure sales. We have been conversing via email back and forth and sometimes it takes a couple of days to respond to my email so from correspondence point of view, it has been really good. They are scheduled to start the work on the first week of June. He showed up on time when he came to do the quote. "
"Outstanding and awesome!!!! Chris is so knowledgeable and know how to do everything that we can ever imagine. He is polite, professional and we couldn't ask for anyone better. I highly recommend to anyone and will use him again and again. Thank you Chris for such wonderful work you do."
A retractable awning won’t necessarily increase your home’s value very much, but it can offer a boost of aesthetic appeal to potential buyers. In the long-term, however, a well-placed awning will save you money on cooling and protect your deck and outdoor furniture from sun exposure during the hot summer season.
Regular cleaning, inspecting for wear, and retracting during storms extend its lifespan.
It’s not a good idea to allow heavy rain to fall on your awning, as puddling can occur and overload the awning. Your awning should be able to handle a light rain, though you should allow it to dry out before retracting it or open it to dry as soon as the rain stops. As always, consult manufacturer guidelines for using and caring for your awning.
Metal awnings are durable, low-maintenance, and provide shade and weather protection.
It depends on how you’ll use it. Both awnings and pergolas create shelter in outdoor areas, but pergolas have grid-style roofs, which are more open than awnings and not as effective at blocking out UV rays and precipitation. Also, pergolas are permanent structures, so you can’t put them away when you aren’t using them (unlike retractable awnings).
