"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. "
"We just finished having our concrete driveway and fence extended in Richland Hills to store an RV. Centex was great to work with and the bid met our budget. They even handled applying for the permits with our city which was nice because some of the other contractors would not. During the process, I decided to extend the concrete to make a patio off my office and Darren was great at adjusting my request. He also gave us advice on the best gate to install that would be sturdy and easy to handle, along with stain suggestions. He does all kinds of work besides concrete and fence. We highly recommend Centex and will keep him in mind for any future projects. Also, we learned that his wife does interior remodels, design and projects. We already plan to reach out to her for some work needed inside our home."
"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."
"Finally got the garage I have always wanted! These guys definitely helped make a long time Dream come true! When we purchased the house the garage was completely outdated. Definitely was in need of some TLC but Iâ m happy that they were able to provide me a good amount of options! Love love love the finished product!"

Fabric awnings provide shade, reduce energy costs, and enhance outdoor aesthetics.
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.
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
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.
Yes, awnings can add value to a home, primarily by boosting its curb appeal and providing more usable outdoor space. While the exact monetary return on investment depends on the awning's size, style, and quality, they offer an excellent appeal factor to potential buyers. For example, an awning with a trendy metal roof can be particularly attractive. Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.
