Planning Your Shade

We plan shade coverage around how you use the space: projection (how far the awning reaches), width, fabric and where it mounts on the wall or roof. Mounting on vinyl siding needs the right blocking behind it; read installing a retractable awning on vinyl siding.

Where the Sun Comes From Matters

Shade falls where the sun puts it, not straight down from the awning. A deck facing south gets high midday sun, so an awning the depth of the deck shades most of it. A deck facing west gets low late-afternoon sun, which reaches under the edge, so the table and chairs need to sit closer to the house or the awning needs more projection. Tell us when you use the space most and we plan the size around that hour, not the brochure.

What Sets the Price

Width, projection, manual or motorized operation, the fabric, and what the awning mounts to (vinyl siding, brick or the roof line) all move the price. You get a written quote before any work starts, and the same mounting questions are settled on the site visit so there are no surprises on install day.

Living With a Retractable Awning

A retractable awning is built to be rolled in when weather turns. Bring it in for strong wind, heavy rain and snow; Valley summer storms build fast, so roll it in when you leave the house. Brush off leaves and let wet fabric dry open before you store it rolled for long, which keeps mildew off. Through winter, leave it retracted.

Financing

Awnings can be financed like any other project, with soft-pull pre-qualification. See financing.
