"Excellent, careful worker. He works slowly but it is done right. There was a slight problem with the installation of the shower door and when notified of the leak, promptly repaired it. "
"Had water coming in through top of a window only when raining and very windy. Top Dog found the leak due to the wrong kind of flashing used where the siding met rock face on the wall. He put z flashing in properly and the leak is fixed. Great job."
It depends on how you’ll use it. Both awnings and pergolas create shelter in outdoor areas, but pergolas have grid-style roofs, which are more open than awnings and not as effective at blocking out UV rays and precipitation. Also, pergolas are permanent structures, so you can’t put them away when you aren’t using them (unlike retractable awnings).
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.
Acrylic, polyester, and vinyl are common options. Choose based on durability, UV resistance, and style.
Clean regularly with mild soap and water, and retract during severe weather to prevent damage.
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.
