"Salesman was professional and informative, installers were prompt but did not look at the measurements before coming to install the awning, so they arrived with the wrong size brackets. I had to wait an additional week for installation and was only offered a bbq set (which I initially declined since I don't bbq) as compensation for my inconvenience. Once the correct brackets were in hand the installers came and were quick and efficient with the installl. "

"Great company to work with. Called them and the next day they came out and worked on a list of things we needed replaced and or repaired in 3 different bathrooms in our office. Right in the beginning they communicated what was the plan and how they would perform the work. The finished on time and did a great job of cleaning up after all work was finished. Would highly recommend them. Top notch in a business where customer service is so important there service was second to none."
"Great. They responded right away, were very professional and knew what they were doing. It was nice to have someone who obviously knew his craft audit our roof situation. He also made minor repairs and added caulking. I will definitely call SRS again."
"Although the cost of the house we're building went a bit over budget, James (Jimmy) Murphy worked closely with us to design and build a beautiful sunroom that we could fit into our already stretched budget. None of the other companies we contacted were as considerate, accommodating or flexible as Murphy's. Jimmy really did go the extra mile for us and we won't ever forget that. His employees and sub-contractors do very good work. We love, love, love our sunroom! The exterior blends in beautifully with the rest of our house and the room itself matches so perfectly it looks like it's an extension of our family room. We can't wait until our house is complete so we can move in and starting using the room! After we move in we'll be back in touch with Murphy's to see about some type of awning or covering for our back patio area. "
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.
Acrylic, polyester, and vinyl are common options. Choose based on durability, UV resistance, and style.
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.
Awnings offer a number of benefits, including:
Reduced summer home cooling costs with lower solar heat gains
Protection from sun, rain, and snow damage
Increased curb appeal for your home
Keep in mind that awnings also have drawbacks, including the potential to reduce your view, block natural light, and create new occasional home maintenance needs.
The main disadvantage of an awning window is that you can’t use it to escape in an emergency. Another disadvantage of awning windows is that they can get dirty quicker than other types of windows that don’t open outward, especially if you keep them open when it’s raining or snowing. You can hire a local window replacement installer to decide if an awning window is right for your home.
