Our awning installation in Greenacres includes everything from initial design consultation to final warranty service. We offer both manual and motorized retractable awnings, fixed awnings for windows and doors, and custom solutions for unique architectural challenges.
Greenacres homeowners particularly benefit from our motorized options with weather sensors—when sudden afternoon storms approach, your awning automatically retracts to prevent damage. This technology is especially valuable in our area where weather can change rapidly.
We also provide specialized solutions for Greenacres’ pest challenges. Our retractable screens effectively block mosquitoes, flies, and the notorious palmetto bugs that make outdoor living miserable, while still allowing airflow and maintaining your view. The edge-to-edge design prevents insects from infiltrating your space while you enjoy the South Florida breeze.
Awning installation costs in Greenacres typically range from $1,000 to $5,000, with most homeowners paying around $3,400 for a motorized retractable awning large enough to cover a standard patio or deck. The final cost depends on size, material quality, and whether you choose manual or motorized operation.
Manual awnings start around $1,000 installed, while motorized versions with remote controls and weather sensors range from $2,500 to $5,000. Custom solutions for unique spaces or commercial applications may cost more. We provide detailed estimates during your free consultation, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
Yes, Florida requires permits for any type of overhang installation, including awnings, for both residential and commercial buildings. This applies to all awning installations in Greenacres, regardless of size or type.
The good news is we handle the entire permit process for you. Our team submits all necessary documentation to Palm Beach County building departments, coordinates inspections, and ensures your installation meets all local building codes and hurricane requirements. The permit fee is typically $25 to $100, and we include permit coordination in our service at no additional charge.
Florida’s intense sun, high humidity, and sudden storms require awnings specifically designed for our climate. We recommend solution-dyed acrylic fabrics that resist fading and mildew, paired with powder-coated aluminum frames that won’t rust in our humid conditions.
Motorized retractable awnings with weather sensors are particularly valuable in Greenacres because they automatically retract when wind speeds increase, protecting your investment from storm damage. For year-round use, we also offer awnings with built-in gutters to handle Florida’s heavy rainfall and retractable screens to keep out mosquitoes and other pests while maintaining airflow.
Most awning installations in Greenacres take one to two days to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your project. Simple window or door awnings can often be installed in a single day, while large patio awnings or multiple-unit installations may require two days.
Weather can occasionally delay outdoor work—we won’t install during rain or high winds to ensure proper installation and worker safety. We schedule installations with buffer time built in and keep you informed of any weather-related adjustments. Once we start, our certified installers work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring quality results.
Absolutely. Properly installed awnings can reduce cooling costs by 15-25% by blocking direct sunlight before it enters your home through windows and sliding doors. In Greenacres’ climate, where air conditioning runs almost year-round, this translates to significant savings on your electric bill.
Awnings can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 15 degrees on south and west-facing exposures, which are the most problematic in our area. They also protect your outdoor furniture, flooring, and interior furnishings from UV damage that would otherwise require costly replacement. Many homeowners see a return on investment of 50-70% through energy savings and increased home value.
Quality awnings require minimal maintenance when properly installed with the right materials for Florida’s climate. We recommend hosing down your awning monthly to remove pollen, dust, and salt air, and allowing it to dry completely before retracting to prevent mildew.
During hurricane season, retract your awning when sustained winds reach 25 mph or when severe weather is forecast. Check and clean the gutters if your awning has them, especially during heavy rain seasons. Annual professional inspections help identify any wear points before they become problems. With proper care, quality awnings in Greenacres typically last 10-15 years, making them an excellent long-term investment.
