"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 easily extend, retract, or stop the awning anywhere in between. From the day it was installed, it has performed flawlessly, and it continues to do so. We don’t extend it daily, 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."

"Oscar replied to my request quickly. He arrived on time and was able to fix my adjustable awning that was stuck and wouldnât move. Oscar is very nice and provided reasonably priced service."
"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. "
"WE used Extreme Awnings to replace and reinstall our awning. Yavo, the owner, was an extreme delight to deal with and his over the top punctually, friendliness, price, quality, expertise, advise was so appreciated... I could go on and on. My only regret is that I don't have more business to offer them! Highly recommended! I'm so glad I used Angie's list to find him too!"
"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. "

We really appreciate their dedication, extra efforts and touches. They offered the relevant professional help we needed and we love the new update on our bathrooms. All their promises were honored and the end result exceeded our every expectation."
Regular cleaning, inspecting for wear, and retracting during storms extend its lifespan.

Awnings offer a number of benefits, including:
Reduced summer home cooling costs with lower solar heat gains
Protection from sun, rain, and snow damage
Increased curb appeal for your home
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 offer a variety of materials to choose from, each of which has its own benefits. Cotton is a lower-cost option that’s also more eco-friendly because it’s made from natural materials, while acrylic-coated polyester and vinyl offer better durability against harsh weather. Fiberglass and metal are also resilient to weather, although metal can be vulnerable to corrosion without protective sealant. Ultimately, you’ll need to consider your climate and your budget in deciding the best material for your awning.
Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.
