Are You Thinking About Installing an Awning Over a Window, Patio, or Deck?

If so, give your local Mr. Handyman a call for all your awning installation needs! A new awning can transform your outdoor deck or patio into a whole new environment. The right awning can take your outdoor home space to the next level, all while protecting family and friends from UV rays and helping everyone get relief from the heat.

An awning helps to create a cool outdoor space for you and your family to relax. Shade from an awning can make a space up to 20 degrees lower than a space in the direct sun. The additional shade from an awning will also help cool your home, helping to keep home energy costs low.

But awnings can be tricky to install, especially if you’re trying to do it on your own. That’s why it’s important to hire the right experts to do the job!

This includes answering your questions about home repairs, maintenance, and improvements. Here are answers to some of your most frequently asked questions about exterior awning installation & repair services.

Can I install an awning myself?

Maybe. You may be able to install an awning yourself if you have experience with residential or commercial construction projects. However, installing an awning can be more complicated than other DIY projects. You also run the risk of falling when attempting to install an awning above a door or window. Finally, some awning installations require specialized equipment, such as drill bits that can penetrate stone or concrete. Others involve electrical or motorized components that demand an experienced professional.

With that in mind, it’s best to invest in professional awning installation services from trained contractors who have the knowledge, experience, and tools needed to install an awning securely at your home or business.

How is an awning attached?

Awnings may be attached in numerous ways, depending on factors like the type of awning you’re installing and the building material. Some of the most common awning attachments include:

  • Self-tapping anchor screws: Anchor screws are threaded and often used to attach awnings to buildings made of brick, though they also work with metal or wood.
  • Expansion bolts or anchors: Expansion bolts and anchors feature a wedge mechanism inside the metal that expands when drilled into or struck with a hammer.
  • Through-bolts: Through-bolts are typically drilled into structural material and then held in place with a nut.
  • Hook-end anchor bolts: These bolts are usually set in fresh concrete and dried into place.
  • Lag screws: Lag screws come in a range of sizes and strengths. They are often used when a through-bolt can’t be employed due to thick backing material or other factors.
  • Brackets: Brackets are often used with retractable awnings. They can be installed on rafters or studs in the walls.
  • Epoxy: Finally, strong epoxy may be used to glue an awning in place in some scenarios.

How often do awnings need to be replaced?

How frequently your awning needs to be replaced depends on the type of awning you have. Some fabric awnings may require more frequent repairs or replacements, while awnings made of sturdier materials may last anywhere from five to 15 years with proper maintenance.

If you’re not sure if your awning needs to be replaced, ask yourself the following questions:

  • Are there holes, rips, or tears in the awning?
  • Is the frame bent or broken?
  • Are the fasteners holding the awning to the building loose?
  • Does the motor work in a retractable awning?
  • Is the awning still visually in good condition?

If you notice any damage, the motor doesn’t function well, or your awning is faded and worn, call for professional, reliable awning service and repair.

Do awnings increase home value?

Awnings can increase the value of your home in several ways. First, they can be visually appealing, boosting your curb appeal. Second, awnings can also create more usable outdoor space by offering protection from the sun and rain. Awnings can also help keep your home cooler by blocking direct sunlight.

How long does it take to replace an awning?

The time it takes to replace an awning varies depending on factors such as:

  • The awning’s size
  • The type of awning you want to replace
  • The difficulty of the installation

For instance, replacing a smaller awning that’s attached to wooden studs may take less time. On the other hand, replacing a large awning attached to brick or stone may be more challenging.
