"I highly recommend Mark and his employees at DSM. I was in dire straights trying to get a contractor to fix my retractable awning. This company quoted me a price and fixed my awning. They were also extremely very nice and professional. Thank You DSM"
"It went very well. My only complaint was that there was not literature (warranty, maintenance instructions, etc.) that came when they installed it. They said that it would be e-mailed to me. It never was. I also had a technical question so I called them. They put me though to the specialist but I had to leave a message. They never called me back."
"The sales rep was very helpful in providing a sample of different awning designs. The installation crew was Pleasant and did a great job setting up the awning cover. The pricing to replace our old awning cover and two supporting arms was very competitive."
"After our awning broke, Susan gave us the best price and incredibly prompt service. Our new awning is beautiful and the install team were great! Look no further if you need a new awning!!!"
"Installers were professional and friendly. Appreciated the texts and calls regarding arrival. Came back a second time to tuck away the power cord once we had an outlet installed near the awning."

Keep in mind that awnings also have drawbacks, including the potential to reduce your view, block natural light, and create new occasional home maintenance needs.
Minor fabric patching is DIY-friendly, but frame and mechanical repairs should be professionally handled.
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.
Awnings offer a variety of materials to choose from, each of which has its own benefits. Cotton is a lower-cost option that’s also more eco-friendly because it’s made from natural materials, while acrylic-coated polyester and vinyl offer better durability against harsh weather. Fiberglass and metal are also resilient to weather, although metal can be vulnerable to corrosion without protective sealant. Ultimately, you’ll need to consider your climate and your budget in deciding the best material for your awning.
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.
