"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."

Minor fabric patching is DIY-friendly, but frame and mechanical repairs should be professionally handled.
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.
Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and additional features like lighting or gutters.
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.
Yes, most awnings include warranties for materials and installation. Confirm terms before purchasing.
