I am very pleased with the customer service, price, and finished product. I recommend this company."

"Good transaction. Called, spoke to Chris. Set an appointment for the next day for him to take a look, measure and make a sales pitch. Chris came on time. He was prepared, professional and thorough. Closed the deal then and Chris told us that installation would be in two, to three weeks. Called four days short of three weeks to set appt. for install and was able to do it that day. Install was fast and thorough, Awning is beautiful. We have had a few big wind days and some torrential rain an the awning has performed perfectly and our house looks beautiful. I did not rate Awnings Unlimited on price. We did not shop around, but, regardless I feel we got a good deal"
"I've used Whitman's awning cleaning service (Surfside) several times through then years. He and his crew are always punctual and do an awesome job for a fair price. We live at the Jersey shore so awnings probably get dirtier than other areas of the state. Nothing takes away from a house like grungy, moldy awnings After this service, they virtually look brand NEW! I would definitely recommend Surfside for awning cleaning."
"Tim was very professional and he and his crew did an excellent job! Tim gave me some great recommendations with color selection. Their quality of work was top notch and the price was very reasonable. A pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Very pleased! Highly recommended!"
"He used every second of that three hours. Every time he finished with one project he went right to the next. I had 6 items I needed to be done. He got all 6 done and two more. Every job was done exceptional well. I told him he was better then a genie in a bottle because the genie only give you three wishes. I have recommend his company to all my friends because I thought he was outstanding."
To ensure the installation process goes smoothly, it's wise to ask a potential pro several questions. Key topics to cover include:
Licensing and Insurance: Do you have a professional license and insurance to perform this work? This is crucial as installing an awning into a home's exterior can be a complex job.
Cost Estimate: What was the price of similar jobs you've completed? Awning installation costs can vary based on size, design, and location, so this helps establish a general price range.
Project Timeline: How long will this project take to complete? Getting an estimated timeline provides peace of mind, even though unforeseen hurdles can occur.
Building Permits: Will I need a building permit for this project, and who is responsible for obtaining it? An experienced local contractor will be knowledgeable about local rules and regulations.
References and Portfolio: Do you have references from previous clients or photos of completed projects? Speaking with past clients and seeing previous work can give you insight into their experience and the quality of their work.
Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and additional features like lighting or gutters.
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.
Costs range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
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.
