Clint arrived on time for our sales call. He was prepared with information and samples and provided guidance when needed. We wanted to think about the purchase, since it was an expensive shade option - he did try really hard to get us to make a decision before he left. I wasn't crazy about that - it felt pushy. Clint was very upfront about the cost being more than most awning companies, but he did all the measuring and the product is a quality product. We liked the product and the Angie's List discount that was offered, so we called him back within a couple of weeks and made the purchase.
The installers arrived on time and were very careful to remove all the deck furniture before starting work. They cleaned up after themselves and put the furniture back when finished.
Our awning is quite large - 30 feet long. It does a great job of shading our deck and looks very nice. It's motorized; the wind sensor is great since it almost takes care of itself. We would definitely get an awning again and would recommend this company
Yes, most awnings include warranties for materials and installation. Confirm terms before purchasing.
Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.
Awnings can be a serious investment for homeowners, particularly if it features a motorized and retractable design. Protect the exterior of your home by choosing a reliable and reputable contractor. Do some research ahead of time to get an idea of the potential contractor’s strengths and weaknesses. Don’t hesitate to give them a call to discuss specifics.
Clean regularly with mild soap and water, and retract during severe weather to prevent damage.
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.
