Awnings in Huntsville, AL

Extend your living space outside. An awning shades your patio, reduces heat coming through the windows behind it, and adds real curb appeal all at the same time.

We get it.

The sun hits the back of your house in the afternoon and turns your patio into an oven. Or it comes through a large window and bakes the room behind it. You've got outdoor space you're not using because of it, and you're paying the HVAC bill to make up the difference.

An awning solves both problems. It shades the outdoor area below it and reduces the solar heat gain through any windows or doors underneath, which means a cooler patio and a cooler room.

An awning might be right for you if:

  • You want to shade a patio, deck, or outdoor seating area

  • You want to reduce heat coming through a large south or west-facing window or door

  • You want to extend the usable life of your outdoor space through the Alabama summer

  • You want something that's retractable and easy to manage

How it Works

How Our Awning Installation Works

Step 1 | In-Home Consult

After an initial phone call, we come to you! We assess your space, discuss the opening size, sun exposure, and mounting situation, and walk you through your options. Awnings have more structural variables than interior treatments, we look at everything before quoting.

Step 2 | Custom Order

Every awning is specified and ordered for your exact opening. Fabric, hardware, and projection are all matched to your space.

Step 3 | We Install It

Our team handles the full installation. Awning mounting requires proper structural anchoring, we do it right.

Bringing you outdoor comfort

We added awnings to our lineup because clients kept asking and because outdoor comfort is an extension of the same problem we've been solving for 29 years. We're not an awning-only company, which means we can help you think through whether an awning, a patio shade, or a combination of both makes the most sense for your specific setup.
