Q: Can a retractable awning improve a home’s value?

• <div><p>A retractable awning won&rsquo;t necessarily increase your home&rsquo;s value very much, but it can offer a boost of aesthetic appeal to potential buyers. In the long-term, however, a well-placed awning will save you money on cooling and protect your deck and outdoor furniture from sun exposure during the hot summer season.</p></div>

Q: Can awnings handle heavy rain?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material for awnings?

• <div><p>Awnings offer a variety of materials to choose from, each of which has its own benefits. Cotton is a lower-cost option that&rsquo;s also more eco-friendly because it&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll need to consider your climate and your budget in deciding the best material for your awning.</p></div>

Q: How long can I expect to take to install an awning?

• <div><p>How long it takes to install an awning at your house doesn&rsquo;t vary by much. Most awnings on the market today come with easy-to-follow installation directions. You can expect to spend at least a couple of hours up to a full day installing yours. But in general, installing an awning shouldn&rsquo;t take more than one day&rsquo;s work.</p></div>

Q: How often do awnings need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Awnings last five to 15 years on average. Vinyl awnings offer a long lifespan, but other fabric types can also last a long time if you regularly clean them and repair them as needed. To extend their lifespan, you should clean your awnings at least twice per year.</p></div>

"We are very happy with this company and their products. It took 2 months from estimate to completion for our patio cover. They offer lots of colors and go through all the options during the estimate. We got a sunshade on the west side and we love it. The installer was not very good at contacting us before showing up (its tough when you live in far away so we were happily surprised when they made the trip!) , but the foreman kept us updated as much as he could and in the end we are very happy. The installer cleaned up the job site daily - very professional. Everything is custom cut after you order it so expect a perfect fit. Down payment is half, so they can buy the materials, then the other half is due after completion. I really like that strategy."
