"I found him hard to work with (e.g. doesn't listen, pushy about doing it his way.) I was really hesitant after the estimate but he just kept pushing about it and I didn't have any other options - but I was sorry afterwards. I don't really like it, the quality doesn't seem great - but most important, it's not level. Drives me crazy and looks bad - just three panels and it's not level! Makes me nuts looking at it - feels like I threw my money away."

"Gary came out to provide an estimate for attic sealing and blow-in insulation. My goal is to improve my energy efficiency. He was timely and the cost is a great value. They are also part of Center Point Enegy's energy rebate program and agreed to help me through that process as well. The project took a bit longer than I anticipated, but the crew was courteous and did a great job."

"Pros of working with Nick: He was the cheapest of the three bids I got He finished 95% of the job, the structure was completed Cons of working with Nick: He did not follow through on commitments related to timing. Deck was supposed to be done Aug 2020 and was built April 2021. He did not finish the job (never caulked or completed boxes at base of posts). Told me he would do this Summer 2021 and never showed up. Gave him until August 2022 and then finished myself. Never knew if Nick would return my texts/calls. Sometimes he did and sometimes he chose to ignore. Details of work were sloppy in a number of places (ie lighting wiring very messy on underside, sizable gaps in some seams on posts, Trex screw cover plugs do not match boards in many places)"

Awnings questions, answered by experts

Yes, most awnings include warranties for materials and installation. Confirm terms before purchasing.

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.

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.

To ensure the installation process goes smoothly, it's wise to ask a potential pro several questions. Key topics to cover include:

  • Licensing and Insurance: Do you have a professional license and insurance to perform this work? This is crucial as installing an awning into a home's exterior can be a complex job.

  • Cost Estimate: What was the price of similar jobs you've completed? Awning installation costs can vary based on size, design, and location, so this helps establish a general price range.

  • Project Timeline: How long will this project take to complete? Getting an estimated timeline provides peace of mind, even though unforeseen hurdles can occur.

  • Building Permits: Will I need a building permit for this project, and who is responsible for obtaining it? An experienced local contractor will be knowledgeable about local rules and regulations.

  • References and Portfolio: Do you have references from previous clients or photos of completed projects? Speaking with past clients and seeing previous work can give you insight into their experience and the quality of their work.

Yes, you can convert a fabric awning to a metal one. You just need to swap the fabric for metal panels, which are more durable and weather-resistant. However, the support frame will probably need reinforcement to handle the added weight. You should consult a pro to address any structural concerns.
