"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!"
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.
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.
Minor fabric patching is DIY-friendly, but frame and mechanical repairs should be professionally handled.
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.
Metal awnings are durable, low-maintenance, and provide shade and weather protection.
