"Best price for complete awning with no extras or up charges. Removed the old awning and installed the new in a few hours. Very professional. Very neat."
"Not only was the owner phenomenal to work with, but the two men who installed the awning were both kind and extremely knowledgeable when it came time to walk me through how to use the awning."
"They were very professional, and did good work. Thought price was high, but they do a good job, and quality is very good, too. Would use them again. Quick turn around, too."
"Things started well right from the start. An email was sent to me which provided me with a photo of the salesperson who would be coming so that I would be sure I was dealing with the right people. The price on the garage door was higher than that provided by other vendors but the quality of the door was higher and the job was going to entail replacing all of the hardware that had been in place. It made sense since some of the hardware was in-place since 1979 and it was time to go. None of the other vendors were going to do this. The gutters were installed by a different team - and on a different date - from the garage door team. Both of them were polite, efficient and prompt. The only thing I would have wished is that I would have been able to make one call and be able to get information on both projects. The way DiGiorgi is structured, each area is separate and you need to call each area individually. "

"From the initial inquiry via Angie's List, to the visit from Chuck, our salesperson, to the installation and everything in between, I was pleased with the service that I received from American Jewel. The customer service was responsive upon first inquiry and I received a call from somebody the same day. When Chuck came to our house, he was knowledgeable and congenial and most of all, took the time to review all of our options and made sure our questions were answered. He also measured and advised us that someone would call us to schedule an installer to come and re-measure before the windows and patio door were ordered. We heard from someone the next day and within a week, the installer came to ensure accurate measurements and take photos. We were told that once the windows were created, we would receive another call for an installation date. I had changed the orientation of the patio door to open from left to right from the way the door was currently. I was impressed to receive a call from the office to double-check the direction that I wanted the door because the photos had showed differently from what I ordered. I also received a call from Chuck advising that the door turned out to be a custom-size and it would be $200 extra. He explained that was why they come back out and measure to make sure. No problem. About 2 weeks later, the installation day had arrived and the two guys that came were punctual and completed the job in one day as promised. They cleaned up after themselves, removed all old windows and debris and reviewed the features of the windows and doors with me. The quality of the windows are good for replacements and the door is solid as well. I opted for the upgraded brushed nickel hardware which looks great. One note to mention: I did notice that the sash on one of the windows was bent and looked like it was damaged in transport. The installer took note and wrote on my final bill that it would be replaced. As of the writing of this, I haven't heard from anybody on the replacement piece, but given my overall experience so far, I have no worries that American Jewel will take care of it. "
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
Awnings offer a variety of materials to choose from, each of which has its own benefits. Cotton is a lower-cost option that’s also more eco-friendly because it’s made from natural materials, while acrylic-coated polyester and vinyl offer better durability against harsh weather. Fiberglass and metal are also resilient to weather, although metal can be vulnerable to corrosion without protective sealant. Ultimately, you’ll need to consider your climate and your budget in deciding the best material for your awning.
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.
To ensure the installation process goes smoothly, it's wise to ask a potential pro several questions. Key topics to cover include:
Licensing and Insurance: Do you have a professional license and insurance to perform this work? This is crucial as installing an awning into a home's exterior can be a complex job.
Cost Estimate: What was the price of similar jobs you've completed? Awning installation costs can vary based on size, design, and location, so this helps establish a general price range.
Project Timeline: How long will this project take to complete? Getting an estimated timeline provides peace of mind, even though unforeseen hurdles can occur.
Building Permits: Will I need a building permit for this project, and who is responsible for obtaining it? An experienced local contractor will be knowledgeable about local rules and regulations.
References and Portfolio: Do you have references from previous clients or photos of completed projects? Speaking with past clients and seeing previous work can give you insight into their experience and the quality of their work.
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.
