"From the earliest moment of engagement to the successful finish, North Country awning, its owner and his associates offered uparallelled commitment to both quality of work and adherence to time and cost commitments. The awning is gorgeous, and it has been installed with features we simply didn't have on our first awning."
"We were visited by Bob from Vista who did a great job working with us on what needed to be completed and price negotiation. This was certainly a package deal with windows/siding/tile work and masonry all being done to the home. Before the work started we also met with Brian who had some great recommendations on siding style and tile patterns. He mentioned he would have his "A" Team working on the job and overseeing the project. The siding and windows took only two days to complete and the results are outstanding. The "A" Team certainly lived up to it's reputation and had to battle 90+ degree to complete the job. The tile in the breezeway looks terrific as well as the masonry work on the front steps and the new awning. We've had quite a few compliments on the home. As with all large scale projects there are speed bumps along the way, but everything we requested to be modified or adjusted was addressed in a timely manner. Overall, it was excellent work. "

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.
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 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).
Metal awnings last much longer than fabric thanks to their durability and resistance to fading, sun damage, and damage from the outside elements. They also need less maintenance than fabric options. Both items add curb appeal to your home, but you shouldn't expect either type of awning to add property value to your home.
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.
