"I knew from my very first meeting that I was dealing with a professional with the experience and knowledge to deliver. Our awning looks brand new. I recommend him without question."
"Awnings FX were prompt contacting us, showed us all of the options first via a phone conversation and then when they came to assess the job! Everything occurred as they promised, the installation went well and we now have a beautiful awning on our home. Thanks Awning FX!!!"
"Came out in a timely fashion. Slightly over priced. Broke the window as they were repairing others. He did come back and fix. But communication was poor."
"The whole project went very well! They came to inspect our awning and immediately provided a quote, which we accepted. The next day they picked up the awning and took it to their shop. Two weeks later, they brought the awning back and reinstalled it. The work was done well, the workers were skilled, experienced and professional. I would be happy to work with Awnings Unlimited again!"

"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."
"Nice job...they had to chisel out some of the concrete to fit the door just right at the bottom..you would never know they were there..mixed cement and built up the area..looks good"
"The Roca team was on time and very efficient in clearing my driveway and sidewalk. I appreciate how quickly they are able to complete the work and the care that they take with each job."
"what can I say.... A Colorful World was punctual, professional, informative and extremely helpful. They handled everything for us from taking down and putting back up custom draperies and curtains. Moved and covered all Furniture, TV's, pictures, etc... Extra neat in the way they clean-up at the end of the day. I would hire them again no questions asked and without hesitation. It was a pleasure having them paint our house. Joe and Nancy Suchniak "
"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."
A retractable awning won’t necessarily increase your home’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.
Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and additional features like lighting or gutters.
Awnings offer a variety of materials to choose from, each of which has its own benefits. Cotton is a lower-cost option that’s also more eco-friendly because it’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’ll need to consider your climate and your budget in deciding the best material for your awning.
It’s best to keep your awning retracted if winds are 25 miles per hour or more to make sure your awning doesn’t sustain irreparable damage due to wind. Some awnings can take winds up to 30 miles per hour without any damage, but it’s best to consult the manufacturer’s guidance. A good rule of thumb is if it’s too windy for you to comfortably stand outside, it’s time to bring the awning in.
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.
