"We purchased our motorized awning from Accent Awning Company in late 2018. The 2-man installation team they sent out did an excellent job. They quickly and efficiently installed the awning in a couple of hours, placing the inside control switch and exterior connections exactly where we requested to facilitate our planned future electrical needs outside. The control lets us extend or retract or stop the awning anywhere in between with ease. From the day it was installed, it has performed flawlessly, and it continues to do so. We don’t extend it every day, but we do extend it most days. The extension and retractions motion is nearly silent; you have to listen closely to hear it. We enjoy the awning and recommend Accent Awning Company as a supplier and installer. We would certainly buy from them again if the opportunity arises."
"MQ Awnings was great to work with from start to finish. Mauro was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The awning looks better than I could have hoped for. I will be calling MQ Awnings when I have awning needs in the future."
"Gorge the owner of California awnings was very knowledgeable and friendly. He helped us design our awning giving us suggestions on what would look best for our back yard. We absolutely love it. Gorge and his brother Angel were very professional and accommodating. They cleaned up every night beautifully. They completed the awning right on schedule. I would definitely recommend them."
"Meticulous and utmost quality installation according to the manufacturerâ s specifications. Heâ s the owner of the company giving no hassle customer service. He listens and understands the scope of work and accommodating. He backs up his work but his work quality wonâ t need any follow ups because it was done right at the first time. 17â and 170 lbs awning installation done so easy with his help at the most competitive price! Definitely call him again if I need service with our motorized retractable awning. Great work!"
"Excellent service, attention to detail, fabric choice, and installation. Initial sales fellow was very knowledgeable and experienced. Received great discounting. Custom sized awning was ready in 10 days. Installation fellows came pre-installation to double check size and fit. Unable to confidently comment on quality (its new!), however, new awning looks beautiful and works with great ease. And I got a very nice multi-year warranty with Abbott. "
"From beginning to end, everything went smoothly. The owner, Dwayne Reese, was extremely professional and he went the "extra mile" to satisfy me and earn my business. His business pricing was extremely competitive (several hundred dollars cheaper than his competitors) and he did a professional job in every respect. Dwayne Reese personally came to my home with his son to install the awnings. The "attention to detail" with the finished product and the installation process was superb. I would "highly recommend" this company and would not hesitate to use him in the future. Thank you Angie's List for this terrific business referral. "

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.
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.
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.
It’s best to keep your awning retracted if winds are 25 miles per hour or more to make sure your awning doesn’t sustain irreparable damage due to wind. Some awnings can take winds up to 30 miles per hour without any damage, but it’s best to consult the manufacturer’s guidance. A good rule of thumb is if it’s too windy for you to comfortably stand outside, it’s time to bring the awning in.
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.
Acrylic, polyester, and vinyl are common options. Choose based on durability, UV resistance, and style.
