Common Patio Cover Service Questions

Aluminum patio roofs can make noise during rainstorms, though how much noise they make depends on how heavy it’s raining and if the roof is insulated or not. Light rain falling on your roof might sound soothing but if you live in an area with serious and consistent rainfall, the novelty of the sound might wear off. In any case, the rain you'll hear shouldn't sound louder than a normal conversation or air conditioner, about 50 dB to 55 dB.

Because metal awnings can add time to how long you can enjoy the outdoors near your home (i.e. a deck in the warm summer months), they will definitely add property value to your home, so long as they are well maintained. Motorized metal awnings are especially attractive to homebuyers.

The cost of an awning is $1,400 to $4,400 on average. However, this cost could be as low as $100 or as high as $7,500, depending on a few factors. The type of awning you choose, the size you need, and your location all affect your overall cost. 

For example, portable awnings you can put up and take down yourself range from $100 to $400, whereas motorized awnings are more luxurious and cost between $2,000 and $3,500.

Repairing a fabric awning or patio cover typically costs between $150 and $1,000. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of fabric, the extent of any frame damage, labor costs, and whether replacement parts are needed.
