You know the feeling. It’s a beautiful day in Tamiami, but your patio is unbearable by 10 AM. The sun beats down relentlessly, making your outdoor furniture too hot to touch and your sliding glass doors work overtime against the heat.
A properly installed awning changes everything. Your patio becomes usable during the day. Your air conditioning bill drops because you’re blocking heat before it hits your windows. You can actually enjoy morning coffee outside without squinting or sweating.
The difference isn’t just comfort—it’s reclaiming space you already paid for. Your outdoor area becomes an extension of your living room, not a furnace you avoid most of the year.
We bring over 15 years of experience to South Florida, with established operations in NYC and Toronto before expanding here. We understand what works in this climate and what doesn’t.
Based in Hallandale Beach, we’ve seen every challenge Tamiami homeowners face with outdoor shade solutions. The humidity that destroys cheap installations. The sudden storms that test every bracket. The UV exposure that fades inferior materials within months.
We’re fully licensed and insured, handling all permits required in Miami-Dade County. Our installations meet local building codes because we know them inside and out. When you work with us, you’re getting professionals who’ve been solving these exact problems for years.
We start with a consultation at your Tamiami home, measuring your space and discussing what you want to achieve. No pressure, no gimmicks—just honest assessment of what will work best for your situation and budget.
Next comes design and material selection. We’ll show you options that make sense for South Florida’s climate, explaining the differences in durability and performance. You’ll see exactly what you’re getting before any work begins.
Installation day is when our licensed team handles everything. We arrive on time, work efficiently, and clean up completely. Most residential awning installations are completed in one day, weather permitting. You’ll receive operation instructions and our contact information for any questions.

Our awning installation service includes everything needed for a complete, code-compliant installation in Tamiami. You get quality materials specifically chosen for South Florida’s demanding environment, including UV-resistant fabrics and corrosion-resistant hardware.
Installation includes proper mounting to your home’s structure, ensuring safety and durability. We handle all permit applications required by Miami-Dade County and coordinate inspections when necessary. Your installation comes with operation instructions and our ongoing support.
Tamiami homeowners particularly benefit from our experience with the area’s building requirements and weather patterns. We know how to properly pitch awnings for drainage during the frequent afternoon storms, and we use installation methods that accommodate the natural expansion and contraction that comes with temperature changes throughout the year.
Awning installation costs in Tamiami typically range from $1,400 to $4,400, depending on size, style, and features you choose. Basic retractable awnings start around $1,400, while motorized options with premium features can reach $3,500 or more.
The total cost includes the awning itself, professional installation, and any required permits. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find the investment pays for itself through reduced air conditioning costs and increased usable outdoor space.
Retractable awnings perform best in South Florida because they can be retracted during storms and high winds. We recommend motorized retractable awnings for convenience, especially since afternoon storms can develop quickly in Tamiami.
The fabric should be solution-dyed acrylic or similar UV-resistant material that won’t fade or deteriorate under constant sun exposure. Hardware must be marine-grade or powder-coated aluminum to resist corrosion from humidity and salt air. We only install awnings with proper drainage pitch to handle heavy rain without pooling water.
Fixed awnings can work in protected areas, but retractable options give you flexibility to protect your investment when severe weather approaches.
Most residential awning installations in Tamiami are completed in one day, typically taking 4-8 hours depending on the size and complexity. Simple window awnings might be finished in 2-3 hours, while large patio awnings with motorization can take a full day.
Weather can affect timing since we won’t install during rain or high winds for safety reasons. We schedule installations during stable weather periods and communicate any necessary delays immediately. The installation process includes mounting, electrical connections for motorized units, testing all functions, and cleanup.
We handle all permit applications in advance, so there are no delays waiting for approvals on installation day.
Most awning installations in Tamiami require permits from Miami-Dade County, especially for permanent installations or awnings over a certain size. We handle all permit applications as part of our service, ensuring your installation meets local building codes.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks and covers structural requirements, wind load calculations, and electrical work for motorized awnings. We coordinate with county inspectors when required and ensure everything passes inspection before considering the job complete.
Working without permits can create problems when selling your home or filing insurance claims, so we always ensure proper documentation for every installation.
Regular maintenance in South Florida’s climate involves monthly cleaning with mild soap and water, checking for any loose hardware, and ensuring proper drainage. Most importantly, always retract your awning before storms or high winds to prevent damage.
For motorized awnings, we recommend annual professional maintenance to check motor function, lubricate moving parts, and inspect electrical connections. The fabric should be allowed to dry completely before retracting to prevent mold growth in our humid climate.
We provide detailed care instructions with every installation and offer maintenance services to keep your awning performing properly for years. Most quality awnings last 8-12 years with proper care in South Florida conditions.
Retractable awnings can extend and retract as needed, giving you flexibility to adjust for weather conditions and sun position throughout the day. They’re ideal for Tamiami’s variable weather since you can retract them before storms and extend them when you need shade.
Fixed awnings are permanent installations that provide constant coverage but can’t be adjusted. They’re typically more durable and less expensive but offer no protection during severe weather. In South Florida, we generally recommend retractable awnings because of our frequent storms and changing weather patterns.
Motorized retractable awnings offer the ultimate convenience with remote control operation, while manual retractable awnings use a hand crank. Both styles protect your investment better than fixed awnings in our climate.
