"We love our awning! The sales process was easy and covered all our questions. Jason made sure we understood our options, explained all the features, and showed us how it may look (virtually). Installation was quick and efficient. It was installed on time and works perfectly. Our deck space is now complete, functional and beautiful. The smart shades and lighting are fantastic!"
"Excellent service. Reliable. Fair. Knowledgeable. On time. Highly recommend for awning replacement. Marygrove , sunbrella, doesn’t matter these guys will take care of you the best. I tried them all."
"Aden Delagrange and his construction crew did a great job on our porch project. They poured a new concrete pad, constructed a large pole-structure porch with standing seam metal roof, and installed a new patio french door. Through all this, Aden was very communicative and responsive to all my questions. He is easy to reach by phone. The crew is patient and spend time discussing the customer's options before beginning work. The project was completed on time and within budget. I have experience working with various contractors, and D&L impressed me with their quality of framing. Nothing was done sloppily or rushed. Everything was square, clean cut, and to our specifications. I would trust D&L to do any type of concrete, framing, or metal roofing project you may have. 5/5 stars."
"Jeff and his team worked did a great job replacing roof on my old house. They did a complete tear-off and re-shingle of house in just a couple of days. My only complaint would be that while they did have large tarps over the house to catch debris, I did have to clean up shingle scraps and nails around perimeter of house after project was complete."
I’m 36 year old, have been doing mainly industrial maintenance the past 6 years or so. Love fixing and putting together all kinds of different things. Not as experienced with home improvements but I have done my fair share, and am never afraid to take on a challenge. I can say that no matter what you throw at me, I will find a way to complete the job and make sure the customer is satisfied.
"We had retractable screens installed on our existing porch. Steve, the rep, was punctual, very friendly and very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. Install crew was punctual, professional and got the job done in half a day. We love how they look, operate and everything about them! Highly recommend product and people."
"I am terrible with names, but the sales guy came out and looked around the house, and gave us a rough estimate of under $20k to install vinyl siding, cover the trim with aluminum, retrim the windows, and install new gutters and downspouts. We told him we were interested in doing the project so he measured everything and provided us with a quote well under what he had originally estimated. He was able to help us finance most of the project. We picked out the colors of the siding and trim. He had several samples of the materials. He told us they may be able to squeeze us in in October but it may not be until December before they could get to us. They called us on a Thursday and told us to be ready for them on Monday. It took them 7 work days to finish the job. Half a day was lost to rain. We gave them a code to get into the garage to work. The house looks amazing. They even left us a sample of each material they used for color matching paint and such and 2 tubes of the caulk they used. I would definately hire them again."
They were prompt, the sales was low-pressure, the door itself was lifetime warranted, and the install was smooth. After the install they cleaned up the mess and remove the old door. Because the door was lifetime warranted, All Weather Seal has come out to repair it in the past, and has always been as professional as ever. An excellent company, I have used them to replace all of my windows as well. Highly recommended!
In addition to Angie's list, we talked to another customer who recommended Gecko painting company to us. Here is where I would like to advise people to look at the entire list of service providers before making a selection. There are excellent providers located throughout the listings. I called, left a brief message listing the kind of work I wanted to have done, and waited for a response. Jeff returned my call, set up a meeting time and showed up on time. He listened, made suggestions, and wrote up an estimate of the total costs. Jeff told us to make up a component list of materials: paint colors, fixtures, faucet and vanity etc. Jeff took our list and picked up and delivered all of the items to our home which helped to minimize confusion and to maintain an accurate record of the actual cost of everything we needed for the job. On day one of the project he showed up on time, covered our wood floors with plastic to protect the finish, and started the removal of the old stuff. Good housekeeping was practiced from beginning to end, they cleaned up every day, and were relatively quiet. The job was completed ahead of schedule and below cost. How did it go? Outstandingly well!
The end result looks sensational. My daughter-in-law approves and will be using Gecko painting in her home as well. My wife and I are planning future projects and we will definitely call on Gecko painting again. "
On average, awning costs range from $1,400 to $4,400. The low end of the cost range can be around $100 up to $7,500 on the high end. Cost factors include the type of awning, size, and location.

There are many ways to mitigate wind damage. Some of the most common methods include installing storm windows and doors and wind-rated garage doors. When you get a wind mitigation inspection, the inspector will also assess the condition and shape of your roof to see how well it will withstand strong winds.
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.
Yes, professionals offer eco-conscious options that balance durability and sustainability.
It’s not a good idea to allow heavy rain to fall on your awning, as puddling can occur and overload the awning. Your awning should be able to handle a light rain, though you should allow it to dry out before retracting it or open it to dry as soon as the rain stops. As always, consult manufacturer guidelines for using and caring for your awning.
