"Robert is quick to respond to the request for an estimate for an awning. His showroom are the shades attached to his house in Boulder. Because of a timing issue, he remotely lead us through the pros and cons of each awning using apps while we were at his house and he was not. He is very honest, timely, very pleasant to work with. We would hire him again."
"I had HAKA install a patio cover and they did an excellent job. I had my plans all done and Peter made some suggestions. It raised the cost a bit but improved the project tenfold. I would hire them again in a heartbeat."
"We have been working with Mike on multiple jobs and he is AMAZING! He is very responsive, quick and does a great job! He does not over charge and is definitely reasonably priced! I would 100% recommend him to anyone!"

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
Acrylic, polyester, and vinyl are common options. Choose based on durability, UV resistance, and style.
It’s not a good idea to allow heavy rain to fall on your awning, as puddling can occur and overload the awning. Your awning should be able to handle a light rain, though you should allow it to dry out before retracting it or open it to dry as soon as the rain stops. As always, consult manufacturer guidelines for using and caring for your awning.
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.
The average cost to build a pergola ranges from $2,200 to $6,400, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from $1,400 to $4,400, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.
