"Mike's guys did a great job on my new patio awning. I am really pleased with the finished product and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing awning work done."
"2 post support holes were not leveled off at completion. Awning cover was not cut evenly and not able to install gutter guards. Workers left their food garbage (water bottles, food wrappers,etc) about the yard. I was told the work would take 4 days and it was 2 weeks. Did not see or hear from the contractor after signing the contract; communicated through the workers."

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.
Metal awnings last much longer than fabric thanks to their durability and resistance to fading, sun damage, and damage from the outside elements. They also need less maintenance than fabric options. Both items add curb appeal to your home, but you shouldn't expect either type of awning to add property value to your home.
Regularly clean with mild detergent and water, and inspect for rust or damage.
Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and additional features like lighting or gutters.
Stainless steel and copper are the most durable and will probably last the longest, especially when you compare them to fabric awnings. Steel is the most popular if your budget isn’t a top priority, but some people prefer copper awnings over steel because they are lighter, which makes them easier to install. Aluminum offers a more budget-friendly metal awning option that is still attractive and offers some durability, especially compared to fabric.
