Retractable Awnings in Connecticut

A retractable awning gives you shade when the sun is on the deck and takes it back when you want the light. It is the awning most homeowners ask us about, and the one that changes how much you actually use your outdoor space.

Most decks and patios in Connecticut get unusable for a few hours a day in summer. A retractable awning fixes that without building anything permanent, and it folds back against the house when the weather turns.

We measure the opening, check what the wall or roof line can carry, and go through frame and fabric options with you before anything is ordered. Then we install it and show you how to work it.

What the job includes

  • On site measuring of the deck, patio or window opening
  • Frame and mounting options for wood, vinyl, brick and masonry walls
  • Fabric and color selection, including striped and solid acrylic options
  • Manual crank or motorized operation, with remote where you want it
  • Installation, testing and a walk through of how to use and close it
  • Service afterwards, including seasonal take-down and re-hang

What it costs to find out

Nothing. We come out, look at the job and measure it, then give you a price for the work with the options written down. If a photo is enough to price it, we will tell you that instead of making you wait for a visit.

Manual or motorized

Manual crank

Lower cost, nothing to wire, and it keeps working in a power cut. You open and close it by hand.

Motorized

A motor in the roller tube, worked from a remote or a wall switch. Easier if the awning is wide or you use it every day.

Sensors

Wind and sun sensors can be added to motorized units so the awning closes itself when the weather turns.

Questions About Retractable Awnings

How wide can a retractable awning be?

It depends on the wall and the projection you want. We measure on site and tell you what the structure will carry before you commit to a size.

Can it stay out in the rain?

Light rain is fine on most units if the awning is pitched to shed water. Heavy rain, wind or snow is when it should be closed.

Do you take it down in winter?

Yes. Fabric that sits out through a Connecticut winter is the main reason awnings need re-covering early. We offer take-down, storage and spring re-hang.

We cover Fairfield County and New Haven County. See the towns we work in.
