"We recently had a retractable patio awning installed. The crew of Alika, Scott, and Dalton were very professional. They arrived at the scheduled time and went right to work. There install was absolutely fabulous. My wife and I were amazed at there professionalism and the way they kept the work area clean. When they were finished they made sure my wife and I were comfortable with the operation of the controls before they left. Clean up of the work area was spotless. Jeff Miller was our salesman. Jeff was on time with his appointments. He makes the decision very easy due to his professionalism and product knowledge. Michelle in the office kept us up to date with the order status and scheduling. All in all we cannot be more pleased with Garrety and will hire them for any future projects we may have."
"It all started out well after purchase of the initial Angie's list deal. We promptly agreed on a date and a gentlemen came to measure and start the paperwork. Install date was set for 11/5/15. On 11/4, I was called about setting an install date. My response was I already had one for the next day. Long story short, the company did not bother to tell me they had cancelled my appointment, they just acted like I never had one. It was as though one side of the business did not know what the other side was doing. Since I made arrangements to be home on the 5th, I was not happy. We finally settled on the 12th and the installation went smoothly enough. However after completion, I noticed the installers had broken a piece of moulding in front of the patio door. I know they realized they cracked it because they used clear caulk as a fix. I called the company and they said they would replace. As of 11/30, the moulding still has not been replaced even though I was told the installer was picking up molding on 11/17. I will say the person who came to measure and the lady who did the follow-up calling were professional. However, I can't say the same for the install side. The contact person was nice enough but he did not contact me to say the install was cancelled and to me it's taking way too long to replace the molding the installers broke. I view it as a lack of integrity to cover up breaking the piece and not bothering to say anything to me. The patio door is beautiful and I had planned to purchase a front door from them but have changed my mind. "
"Just as they said they installed the window in one day and the next day the finisher can and finished the inside of the house. The window looks great and they cleaned everything up and removed the old window I would definitely use them again"
"These professionals were superb! They were highly skilled and did some “extras” for the set price. Our deck needed repairs and stabilizing. Their seasoned carpenter took care of it skillfully and quickly. Another professional in their group installed vinyl flooring in our basement;!it came out perfectly. They also did some other minor repairs and regrouted tiles in the bathroom. Their pricing was very competitive and they were able to schedule the work promptly, and they are courteous and trustworthy. I would definitely hire them again!"
"I called Bud about 6:30 p.m. on a Wednesday night and he was able to be at my home to look at the toilet the next morning at 10:30 a.m. He and his partner were very thorough and tried a few different ways to keep the toilet from leaking. Ultimately the job required replacing entire ballcock assembly. Bud went to three different places to find the correct assembly for my toilet. They made sure there was no leaking and toilet not running before leaving. Very professional and friendly."
"Tyler and his friend did an excellent job of power washing our vinyl siding and clearing our gutters. He responded quickly to my request for a quote and came to do the job two days later. . He worked a solid day doing the requested work and even power washed our cement and shed, which was not part of the original plan. He and his friend were so pleasant to work with. They were eager to make us happy with their work. Tyler did the job and the extra at the originally quoted price (which was very reasonable). We are very pleased with the job he did and will definitely call him for future work. Thank you Tyler."
"I had used Fred before. He came a long distance, was polite and professional, worked through each job and completed on time. This is my second or third round with Myriad. Note: not sure how much paid as credit card replaced and no access to prior transactions. Plan to use Myriad again if will come down this far."
"We knew the door was a custom size and that it would have to be ordered; however, the delivery date was 5 weeks later than the promise date. The hardware used by Master Seal tarnishes, has been replaced once and the new handle is already showing signs of discoloration. Company was very responsive on replacing hardware. Customer service is GREAT! Workers appearance can be a bit ''shady'' but the work was good."

The longest-lasting awning materials include vinyl, polycarbonate, and polyester for their durability and cleanability. Other materials like canvas and metal can last a long time, but may wear out faster. The key to getting the longest life from your awning material is to maintain it properly by cleaning yearly, keeping debris from gathering on it, and protecting it during stormy weather or high winds by retracting it or moving it to a protected area.
A covered deck can be a good investment that increases your home value—especially if you live in a hot region with a lot of sun. A covering over the deck means you can get more use out of it, even on the hottest summer days. With a permanent deck covering, you can even add ceiling fans to help cool down your deck for added comfort.
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.
Yes, professionals offer eco-conscious options that balance durability and sustainability.
It’s best to opt for a lightweight roof, as a heavy roof adds a lot of weight and pressure to the support posts and hardware and destabilizes the structure. Vinyl is a good, lightweight option, as is a nice open trellis, louvered aluminum or vinyl slats, or fabric panels. Clear polycarbonate is another great option that offers seamless shelter and additional UV protection without completely obscuring the sunshine. You can also choose retractable coverings or an awning that you only use in wet weather or when you need additional shade.
