From Consultation to Installation: How the Awning Process Works
Transforming your outdoor living space with a custom awning is simple. From your first consultation to professional installation, we make the process smooth, stress-free, and tailored to your needs.
Free Consultation
Save money right from the very beginning. Look for a dealer that offers free estimates upfront. While most reputable dealers do provide this service, it’s important to carefully confirm that there aren’t any hidden costs or additional fees that could surprise you later.
Site Visit & Measurements
A technician visits your home or business to measure the installation area, check the structure for mounting support, and evaluate sun exposure and wind conditions.
Design & Selection
This is when the fun comes in. It’s time to choose fabric colors, valance styles, frame finishes, and operation type (manual crank, motorized, smart automation). Look for a company that offers drawings, renderings, or samples to help visualize the final product.
Quotation & Order Placement
You receive a detailed quote that includes product cost, customization, and installation. Once approved, the order is placed with the manufacturer or fabricator.
Manufacturing / Fabrication
The awning is custom-made to fit your specifications. Lead times usually range from 2–6 weeks, depending on the company and design complexity.
Delivery & Scheduling
After your awning arrived at the dealer, they will call to set an installation date. They coordinate around your availability and any necessary permits (for some commercial or large installations).
Professional Installation
Certified installers mount the awning securely to your home or building. For motorized systems, they connect electrical wiring and test remote or smart controls. Installers ensure proper tensioning and operation. Electrical additions, may be an upcharge. Ask your dealer when signing off on the job.
Final Inspection & walkthrough
You test the awning with the installer to ensure smooth operation. The installer reviews care instructions, warranty coverage, and maintenance tips. If you have a motorized system, ask for leave behind instructions.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Regular cleaning and occasional tightening of hardware keep the awning in top shape. Many companies offer service packages for seasonal maintenance or fabric replacement.
✅ This process ensures you get a custom-fit, long-lasting awning designed for your exact outdoor living needs. Assess your outdoor space to determine what additions will best suit your lifestyle and enhance your property.
