"This was a cold call in our neighbor. He saw we had an awning needed to be replaced. I held onto the card for a while When we called him the quote was so reasonable, that we hired to install another awing. This whole process was super easy, quick and resulting work is just beautiful. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Installation went very well, was completed in less time than originally estimated. Installers cleaned everything up and demonstrated features. Was completely happy with the installers and installation. Only issues I had were communication issues: The first appointment was set up for 10:30 am, then the morning of the appointment I received a call confirming our 11:30 appointment; and I called immediately upon receiving the awning to set up an installation appointment, a tentative date was discussed but I did not receive a call or e-mail confirming the date, I had to call back to follow-up to confirm the date.

Metal awnings are durable, low-maintenance, and provide shade and weather protection.
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.
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).
The average cost to build a pergola ranges from $2,200 to $6,400, whereas the average cost of an awning ranges from $1,400 to $4,400, meaning that an awning tends to be less expensive to build or install than a pergola. Ultimately, the less expensive option depends on a few factors, including size, quality of materials used, and location.
Clean regularly with mild soap and water, and retract during severe weather to prevent damage.
