"Derek & Josh were our installers very professional. They did a fantastic job. I have told everyone to call Marygrove. My husband and I are very happy. Thank you, Fran & John Stacewicz"
"They did a great job of installing the awning which is by Sunbrella and of high quality. The workmanship to make sure that it was secured properly was excellent and the customer service was great. I would recommend this company. The one thing, they could not do the electrical work of hiding the electric cord, but glad that they did not do work they are not skilled to do and an electrician was hired and did the work. Good company. Love my awning."
"It went great. Dave was responsive to my emails and calls and stayed in touch regarding the job. The door was not a standard size and he was helpful in finding a solution to what could have been a costly replacement."
"The job was done very well..experienced some delays which did not impact us since we were not in a rush. Most of the delays were on the final cosmetics."
"The owner was prompt in responding to my special deal purchase and it was quick and easy to schedule our appointment. He showed up promptly, was was professional, thorough, and friendly. The gutters that met the coupon’s criteria were cleared. We are hiring again to clean the gutters that were higher (3-story) and more running feet than specified, and also to do wood rot repair around our home’s exterior that he noticed. The coupon was a good value for the work performed, and the quote on the additional work to be performed also is fair. We would definitely recommend this company based on the work performed at this appointment."
"Jefferey is amazing. We’ve hired him several times for many services and will call him first again anytime we need work done. He’s prompt, extremely professional, and does phenomenal work If you need anything done around your home, I highly recommend calling Jeffery!"
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.
Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and additional features like lighting or gutters.
Costs range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
It’s best to keep your awning retracted if winds are 25 miles per hour or more to make sure your awning doesn’t sustain irreparable damage due to wind. Some awnings can take winds up to 30 miles per hour without any damage, but it’s best to consult the manufacturer’s guidance. A good rule of thumb is if it’s too windy for you to comfortably stand outside, it’s time to bring the awning in.
