"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. "

"I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my patio cover. If I need more cover’s, he’s the one I will hire. I highly recommend him for the job you need done. He takes pride in his work installing Patio Covers. Thank you Joe. And on another note I don’t want to leave his helper out . Those two working together are like 2 peas in a pod. Finding good help to work together is a blessing"

"Excellent!!! Christopher Rubio was very responsive and kept me abreast of time of arrival throughout the day. He had a project in the morning and was coming to perform work for my mom later in the day. I was coming from an hour away so trying to coordinate time. He was very punctual and ended up waiting for me to arrive since I was delayed in traffic. Install went very well. We ran into a snag with one of the shower bars because the second stud could not be clearly identified, so Christopher immediately located a hardware store nearby and purchased tile anchors to secure bar into wall. He wanted to ensure that the bars installed were safe for my mom as if he were installing them for his mom or grandmother. He left the area clean and performed the job well. He made an elderly woman (my mom) very happy and I have piece of mind that my mom is safe having grab bars in her shower area. Thanks Christopher! I highly recommend Christopher to anyone whom is seeking a handyman. (He does painting, plumbing, electrical, TV Mounting, baby proofing and misc repairs as well)."

Awnings questions, answered by experts

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.

Acrylic, polyester, and vinyl are common options. Choose based on durability, UV resistance, and style.

Yes, you can install an awning yourself, and it can be an excellent DIY project with immediate benefits. This is most feasible for smaller, pre-assembled units. However, awnings are often heavy and awkward for one person to handle, so you should always have at least one helper. If you have difficulty lifting heavy objects, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper mounting and durability.

Minor fabric patching is DIY-friendly, but frame and mechanical repairs should be professionally handled.

Besides the type of awning, you’ll need to choose the type of cover. Your awning installation professional will review your options with you, including availability and costs. The types of covers you can choose from include:

  • Wood, which is durable but can be damaged easily by rainwater and fire

  • Cotton offers flexibility, weatherproofing, and easy cleaning

  • Canvas is highly durable and is a good choice for retractable awnings 

  • Metal is sturdy but is prone to rust

  • Polyester is easy to clean and is a more breathable option

  • Polycarbonate is highly resistant to UV rays and is difficult to damage
