Installation & Process

How long does the installation take?

Most awning installations take one to two days. Smaller window or door awnings may be completed in just a few hours, while larger patio covers or commercial canopies may take slightly longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.

Are your awnings custom made?

Every awning we install is custom measured and professionally fabricated for your home or business. This ensures the perfect fit, clean appearance, and reliable performance for years to come.

Can you install an awning on vinyl or aluminum siding?

Yes. Our team is trained to install awnings on a wide range of exterior materials, including vinyl, aluminum, brick, wood, and stucco. We ensure proper support and clean, secure installation on every job.

Materials & Options

What materials do you offer?

We offer high-quality materials designed for Ohio weather, including:

  • Aluminum – durable, low maintenance, great for all seasons

  • Retractable systems – motorized with wind sensors and optional additions

  • Steel and polycarbonate for select commercial installations

Are retractable awnings motorized?

Yes, as we provide a motorized retractable awning with remote control. Motorized systems also include a wind sensor for added protection.

Do your awnings come with a warranty?

Yes. All our products come with warranties, and we stand behind our installation work with additional workmanship protection. Warranty details vary by product, and we review everything during your estimate.

Maintenance & Care

How do I maintain my awning?

Most awnings require very little upkeep. We recommend:

  • Cleaning awnings and patio covers as needed

  • Rinsing fabric occasionally with clean water

  • Using mild soap for deeper cleaning

  • Checking hardware after major storms

We’re always happy to provide care tips specific to your installation.

Can my awning stay up through the winter?

  • Aluminum awnings: Yes, as they are built for all-season durability and can handle the heavy snow loads required for the Ohio winters.

  • Fabric retractable awnings: These should remain retracted during winter months, and the front valance and wind sensor can be removed easily to protect them during the winter.

Pricing & Estimates

How much does an awning cost?

Prices vary depending on size, materials, style, and whether the awning is fixed or retractable. Custom framing and installation complexity can also affect the price.
We provide free, accurate written estimates so you know exactly what to expect. We also provide an over-the-phone estimate. If you are looking for an estimate, it would be greatly appreciated to receive measurements of the area you are looking to cover. These measurements will assist us in providing a closer estimate before the consultation.
