"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."
"Zak was very professional, easy to deal with very thorough and patient about picking out the correct awnings for my patio. He explained it all to me was happy with my decision to go with Garden State Shade!"
"Sue and Dave were wonderful to work with. The process was easy and our new awning was ordered and installed in a timely fashion. We love it and it's now an extension of our living space!!"
"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."

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.
Minor fabric patching is DIY-friendly, but frame and mechanical repairs should be professionally handled.
Metal awnings are durable, low-maintenance, and provide shade and weather protection.
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.
It depends on how you’ll use it. Both awnings and pergolas create shelter in outdoor areas, but pergolas have grid-style roofs, which are more open than awnings and not as effective at blocking out UV rays and precipitation. Also, pergolas are permanent structures, so you can’t put them away when you aren’t using them (unlike retractable awnings).
