"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!"
"Job done on time and on budget. I looked for 2 years to find a company that would just replace the canvas. All other vendors wanted to sell me new anwing that cost like 5 times as much. If you need canvas replaced give these guys a call."
"Aden and his crew put in a retaining wall and concrete pad along with replacing our walkout basement doors and siding. The whole process was flawless from the start. Great communication from the get go. Definitely will be using again for other projects!"
"Bill at Golden Needle gave us a time frame to order the replacement arms for our retractable awning and schedule installation.. We were happy he was able to fit it in that time frame. Bill was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Cory came to install the arms and adjust the awning. He could not have done a more excellent and thorough installation. He was so mannerly and friendly. Cory explained in detail what he did, told us what to do for maintenance and asked if we had any questions. He was a diligent worker with high morals. My husband asked if he would be interested in checking out some work for our neighbor and Cory said â I donâ t do side jobs, I only do jobs for the company I work forâ . I was quite impressed with his comment. We would highly recommend Bill and Cory at Golden Needle Awning!! Rick and Joy LaFontaine"

"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!

Hurricane fabric is a temporary form of hurricane protection that offers an alternative to boarding up windows or installing traditional storm panels. It is installed over windows, doors, and other openings before a storm. When installed properly, hurricane fabric is tested and proven to protect homes from Category 5 hurricanes, which can have winds over 157 miles per hour. It is intended to block the majority of wind and rain and protect against water, debris, and projectile damage. While the fabric is exceptionally durable, windows can still break if hit directly by high-velocity debris. Compared to other options, hurricane fabric is more protective than hurricane window film. Boarding up windows is more labor-intensive and requires storing heavy plywood, while hurricane screens are permanently attached to your home. To further increase protection, you can take additional steps like securing outdoor items and fortifying your home's foundation.
Fascia and soffits differ in their location and design, but fascia vents are the most popular alternative to soffits. These are a bit more hidden than soffits, but depending on the structure of your roof, they can cost more to install and maintain. They are also installed around the entire roof, whereas soffits can be placed only where you need them or, if the aesthetics bother you, somewhere out of sight.
