Awning Fabric and Materials
A reputable awning company will use fabrics that are:
- Fade (from UV), mold and water resistant
- Unlikely to rip or sag even in extreme weather conditions
- Available in a wide range of colors and patterns
- Energy-sparing, keeping the interior space cool in summer and warm in winter
Additionally, a reputable awning company will install high-quality supports and mechanisms that are rust resistant and rated for certain wind speeds. Ask about the manufacturer’s warranty on installation, parts, and labor.
Awning Contractor Reputation
An awning company that is truly professional will offer custom measuring and manufacturing of an outdoor covering suited to your home and your tastes. Avoid ready-made and cheaply-priced awnings from big home stores, as quality is not always up to par. Also, the sales representative should present references from past and current customers and offer a portfolio of completed jobs.
Inquire about the company’s design team. True awning professionals will aim to please your preferences, but they will also make suggestions on the best type, look, color, functionality, and durability for your particular situation.

Quality Online Reviews
Read up on the companies you are considering, and research them on consumer rating sites such as Angie’s List and the Better Business Bureau. It is important to see what other people have to say about the services they received. Getting a customer referral speaks volumes about how well your own experience with the company can go.
In addition, these consumer sites give an unbiased profile concerning years in the business, certifications, licensing, insurance, and other business details that excellent companies have in place. With diligent homework and a thorough interview process, you can pick a great company for a great awning installation process.
