"He initially just came for a quote to fix my awning and ended up doing the job itself that day. He called the Sunsetter Awning company and had them send instructions to his phone to repair it properly. He then cleaned out my gutters that hadn't been cleaned out in quite some time. He went above and beyond my expectations. I was very happy with his service."
"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"
"Outstanding and awesome!!!! Chris is so knowledgeable and know how to do everything that we can ever imagine. He is polite, professional and we couldn't ask for anyone better. I highly recommend to anyone and will use him again and again. Thank you Chris for such wonderful work you do."
Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and additional features like lighting or gutters.
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.
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.
Minor fabric patching is DIY-friendly, but frame and mechanical repairs should be professionally handled.
Yes, most awnings include warranties for materials and installation. Confirm terms before purchasing.
