"Ted did what he said he would do & I love the end product, namely full metal awning attached to home with lighted fan â ¦. Job needed County permit â ¦ awning passed inspection with no problem."
"From a firm handshake at our first meeting, to a last, firm handshake after the job was done, I was impressed by Les and his crew. He (Les) gave me a price, gave me a time-frame, and lived up to both. A great team to do business with. The crew was excellent. They began the project at 10 am, and were done, cleaned-up, and gone before 3pm. The difference between our old, wood rotted patio cover and this new one are startling. We've probably added twice as much to the value of our home, as it cost us to replace the old one. Great work, good people, timely results. THANK YOU WESTERN SKY"
"This is very talented professional. I gave him a picture of what kind of railing I would like for my front steps. He produced a beautiful design installed them and they look beautiful. Thank you Vince I’m so glad I called you. I would recommend him highly. He is honest and considerate and very reasonable. I paid $1800 for this set of rails and well worth it for the quality that he produces."
"Insanely knowledgeable about his trade. I had a very tricky remodel on a single wide trailer and he got it done in a timely manner and all work was solid. Very friendly man and I m happy I got sent his number. Ty."

Yes, you can convert a fabric awning to a metal one. You just need to swap the fabric for metal panels, which are more durable and weather-resistant. However, the support frame will probably need reinforcement to handle the added weight. You should consult a pro to address any structural concerns.
You can indeed open your awning in winter. It’s a misconception that you can only open retractable awnings in the warmer months. In fact, modern awnings are strong enough to offer a little respite from the snow if you’re someone who enjoys sipping hot cocoa outside on a beautiful winter day. But if a big storm is coming, such as a hurricane or a blizzard, it’s best to close your awning until the weather calms down.
Minor fabric patching is DIY-friendly, but frame and mechanical repairs should be professionally handled.
Fabric awnings provide shade, reduce energy costs, and enhance outdoor aesthetics.
Regularly clean with mild detergent and water, and inspect for rust or damage.
