"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."

"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. "
"I have hired Xtreme Awnings on a few different restaurants projects, for fixed and retractable awnings. He does not skimp on quality of materials and does a great job. In fact I will be using him on another project soon."
"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. "
"Superior Home Remodeling recently replaced roof on my house. I hired this company because they gave me competitive price and were available soon and that was most important to me. They shoved up on time and finished this project within 3 days and quality of work is excellent. My new roof is great! Thank you!"
Yes, you can replace just the fabric on an awning without having to replace the entire awning frame and hardware. This process will take a professional about one to two hours. If you want to DIY, it could take longer, especially for large or retractable awnings. Replacing the fabric on an awning can improve the look of your home and help naturally cool your interior and exterior spaces.
Acrylic, polyester, and vinyl are common options. Choose based on durability, UV resistance, and style.
Awnings can be a serious investment for homeowners, particularly if it features a motorized and retractable design. Protect the exterior of your home by choosing a reliable and reputable contractor. Do some research ahead of time to get an idea of the potential contractor’s strengths and weaknesses. Don’t hesitate to give them a call to discuss specifics.
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.
Mechanical awnings should be easy to install for the average person with some handyman skills.
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.
