"Man sent to do various odd jobs in Germantown--install blinds, TV mount, cabinet, etc.--was efficient and easy to communicate with. Did exactly what I needed with quality work and kept me informed of any problems he encountered. Price was reasonable."

"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!"

"The work was excellent.  I truly got a big deal! The only problem I had was scheduling an appointment.  That is the downside of the big deals when it comes to small companies.  They usually have to schedule their own appointments; they usually don't have a secretary scheduling for them.   These guys answer the calls and do the work. I understand it, and would not let it affect the rating.  Yes, it was difficult for me to get an appointment with Honeywell; however, once they came out and completed the work, I was a very satsified customer.

"The Responsiveness is great. They are good with contacting you back with any questions, and they arrived at the scheduled time. I paid for time, so I had to buy the materials. The contractor gave me a list of items that I needed to purchase once he arrived. While I was purchasing the items, he started working on what he could. They do what you ask them to do. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Awnings questions, answered by experts

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 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.

It depends on how you’ll use it. Both awnings and pergolas create shelter in outdoor areas, but pergolas have grid-style roofs, which are more open than awnings and not as effective at blocking out UV rays and precipitation. Also, pergolas are permanent structures, so you can’t put them away when you aren’t using them (unlike retractable awnings).

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.

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
