"Don and his crew did a fabulous job of replacing our outdoor screen/awning which had been torn apart by a storm earlier in the year. Awnimation gave me a very reasonably priced bid for the work (significantly lower than another local company), and also did the work much more quickly. About two weeks later, his crew installed the screen and it took them less than an hour. What a great job! We're back up and running again and now I know if you're in North Texas, you need to call Awnimation for your screens/awnings. They were that good!"
"Salesman was professional and informative, installers were prompt but did not look at the measurements before coming to install the awning, so they arrived with the wrong size brackets. I had to wait an additional week for installation and was only offered a bbq set (which I initially declined since I don't bbq) as compensation for my inconvenience. Once the correct brackets were in hand the installers came and were quick and efficient with the installl. "
"I would like to recommend Dynamo Construction and Remodeling for residential remodeling and repair in the Dallas area.Ã Â As a consumer, I contracted Dynamo for veranda and courtyard water damage repairs: Their estimate was expeditiously approved by my insurance company, USAA, because of the thoroughness and initial completeness. Upon demo of the area it was apparent a supplemental claim would be required, which was also approved. Dynamo was prompt, true to schedule and cost estimate, and professional in their work, which included various forms of decking, roofing, framing and painting. Dynamo has my unqualified, highest recommendation for residential repairs. Tony B"
"The installers did a very good job of working out the framing of the walkway to make the landings approximately equal in size while having to accommodate a curving and sloping layout. They were careful in digging and did not damage any of several sprinkler system pipes that were right in the middle of the layout. (Unlike a prior contractor that had done work for me.) The job was not rushed so that attention was paid to the details, and the job was completed in a week. They did a very good job of cleanup at the end of each day and at the completion of the project. Luisa took care of the city permitting which made it easier for me to get HOA approval for the walkway. We have a nice looking and functional walkway that gives us much easier access from the street to our front door instead of making our way up a very steep driveway."
"Customer service was top notch. From the beginning of my experience to the end of my experience this company brought nothing but professionalism! Absolutely love my new kitchen. We went for a Spanish style luck which they were definitely more than able to execute! Thank you again sonart!"
"Would highly recommended as they did all around a great job. They removed my old fence and gate and installed a new one. They responded quickly and completed the job very efficiently."

Besides the type of awning, you’ll need to choose the type of cover. Your awning installation professional will review your options with you, including availability and costs. The types of covers you can choose from include:
Wood, which is durable but can be damaged easily by rainwater and fire
Cotton offers flexibility, weatherproofing, and easy cleaning
Canvas is highly durable and is a good choice for retractable awnings
Metal is sturdy but is prone to rust
Polyester is easy to clean and is a more breathable option
Polycarbonate is highly resistant to UV rays and is difficult to damage
The longest-lasting awning materials include vinyl, polycarbonate, and polyester for their durability and cleanability. Other materials like canvas and metal can last a long time, but may wear out faster. The key to getting the longest life from your awning material is to maintain it properly by cleaning yearly, keeping debris from gathering on it, and protecting it during stormy weather or high winds by retracting it or moving it to a protected area.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
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.
Metal awnings are durable, low-maintenance, and provide shade and weather protection.
