"I had an aluminum awning installed by Continental and I am very happy with the results. Continental has a competitive price for the awning and installation. I met with Tony, who is the owner, and he is a pleasant and honest man. The workmanship was perfect and the installation crew are very nice people. They completed the installation job in 2 1/2 hours. I would highly recommend Continental Home Insulators."

"This company is very professional... from the sales rep to the installers. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and did a first-rate job on a small awning we had installed awhile ago and a big, retractable awning we just had put up."

"Tony Damore truly represents the best in business when it comes to home improvement . His engaging style and matter-of-fact presentation, combined with his competitive pricing strategy makes him one of the best vendors I ve met in a while. He made our decision to buy from American Awnings quite easy as he gave us a lot of good background materials, a justification for why certain options would work better for us, and then he proceeded to let me know what to look for when talking to competitors. From start to finish, I was happy with the work done and the responsiveness from Tony to ensure that this project was completed on time and on budget. Tony s integrity, honesty and professionalism make him the vendor you ll always remember. For the best value when it comes to awnings, you can start and end your process with American Awnings! Can t say enough good things about this company!"

"They were very responsive in return my request for service and showed up even earlier than scheduled. Matthew is very professional and did his work carefully. Since it was the first time I had have someone work on such project, I had little experience so it took some time for me to run errands buying stuff required. Matthew was very patient and instructed me with details. I am happy with his work.

Awnings questions, answered by experts

It’s best to keep your awning retracted if winds are 25 miles per hour or more to make sure your awning doesn’t sustain irreparable damage due to wind. Some awnings can take winds up to 30 miles per hour without any damage, but it’s best to consult the manufacturer’s guidance. A good rule of thumb is if it’s too windy for you to comfortably stand outside, it’s time to bring the awning in.

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.

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.

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.
