You’ll finally have an outdoor space you can use year-round. No more rushing inside when the Florida sun becomes unbearable. No more worrying about UV damage to your furniture or family.
Your new awning creates a comfortable retreat right outside your door. Whether you’re hosting weekend barbecues or just want a shaded spot for your morning coffee, you’ll have reliable protection that looks great and lasts for decades.
The best part? You’ll see the difference on your energy bills. Less direct sunlight hitting your windows means your air conditioning doesn’t have to work as hard, especially during those brutal summer months.
We bring over 20 years of experience to South Florida, with established operations in NYC and Toronto. We understand what works in challenging climates and demanding conditions.
As a comprehensive design company, we handle everything from initial consultation to final installation. You’re not dealing with multiple contractors or wondering if everyone’s on the same page.

Florida’s building codes aren’t suggestions—they’re essential for protecting your investment and your family. We ensure every installation meets current hurricane-resistance standards while delivering the aesthetic appeal you want.
We start with an on-site consultation to assess your space, discuss your needs, and review local code requirements. You’ll see material samples and get a clear understanding of what’s possible within your budget.
Next, we handle all permits and design work. Our team creates detailed plans that account for your home’s architecture, local wind loads, and drainage requirements. Everything gets approved before we order materials.
Installation typically takes one to two days, depending on the project scope. Our certified installers arrive with everything needed, complete the work efficiently, and clean up thoroughly. We walk through the finished project with you to ensure everything meets our standards and yours.

Every awning installation includes professional site assessment, custom design, all necessary permits, and complete installation with cleanup. We use hurricane-rated materials that meet Miami-Dade approval standards for wind resistance.
Your installation comes with proper drainage systems, reinforced mounting hardware, and weatherproof sealing. For motorized options, we handle all electrical connections and provide remote controls with backup manual operation.
Kendale Lakes residents get the advantage of working with installers who understand local soil conditions, typical wind patterns, and HOA requirements. We’ve worked throughout South Florida and know how to navigate the specific challenges that come with our climate and regulations. Each project includes a thorough final inspection and warranty coverage for both materials and workmanship.
Awning installation costs in Kendale Lakes typically range from $1,400 to $4,400 for most residential projects, though the final price depends on several factors. Size is the biggest factor—a small window awning costs significantly less than a large patio cover.
Material choice also affects pricing. Basic fabric awnings with manual operation cost less than motorized retractable systems with premium materials. Hurricane-rated options that meet Miami-Dade standards may cost more upfront but provide essential protection and often qualify for insurance discounts.
We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific site and requirements. This includes all permits, materials, labor, and cleanup—no surprise charges later.
Yes, most awning installations in Kendale Lakes require building permits, especially for permanent structures or anything that attaches to your home’s exterior walls. The permit process ensures your installation meets Florida Building Code requirements for wind resistance and structural integrity.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. This includes submitting engineered drawings when required and coordinating with local building officials. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, but it’s essential for protecting your investment and ensuring insurance coverage.
Temporary or portable awnings under certain size limits may not require permits, but permanent installations almost always do. We’ll clarify what’s needed during your consultation and take care of all paperwork.
Quality awnings installed properly typically last 15-25 years in South Florida, with aluminum frames often lasting even longer. The key is choosing materials designed for our climate and maintaining them properly.
Hurricane-rated awnings built to Miami-Dade standards handle our weather conditions better than standard options. They’re engineered for high winds, intense UV exposure, and heavy rain. Premium fabrics like Sunbrella resist fading and mildew while maintaining their water-repellent properties.
Regular maintenance extends lifespan significantly. This includes cleaning fabric annually, checking hardware for corrosion, and retracting retractable awnings during severe weather. We provide maintenance guidelines with every installation and offer service packages to keep your awning in optimal condition.
Properly installed hurricane-rated awnings can withstand significant wind loads, but they’re not designed to stay deployed during hurricane conditions. Miami-Dade approved awnings are tested to specific wind speeds, typically 110-175 mph depending on the product and installation location.
The key is having retractable options that can be secured before severe weather arrives. Motorized systems often include wind sensors that automatically retract the awning when conditions become dangerous. Fixed awnings need to be engineered for your specific location’s wind zone requirements.
We install all awnings to current Florida Building Code standards, which were strengthened after Hurricane Andrew. This includes proper anchoring, reinforced mounting points, and drainage systems that prevent water damage. Your awning becomes part of your home’s hurricane preparedness plan, not a liability.
Retractable awnings offer flexibility—you can extend them for shade and retract them for full sun or before storms. They typically cost more initially but provide versatility that many homeowners prefer. Motorized versions operate with the push of a button.
Fixed awnings are permanent installations that provide constant coverage. They’re generally more affordable and can handle larger spans, making them popular for patios and commercial applications. However, you can’t adjust them for changing weather or seasonal preferences.
Both types can meet hurricane code requirements when properly engineered and installed. Your choice depends on how you plan to use the space, your budget, and aesthetic preferences. We’ll walk through the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation and help you make the best choice for your needs.
Yes, we handle both residential and commercial awning installations throughout Kendale Lakes and surrounding areas. Commercial projects include storefronts, restaurants, office buildings, and multi-family properties.
Commercial installations often require more complex engineering, especially for larger spans or unique architectural features. We work with architects and general contractors to ensure proper integration with existing building systems. All commercial work meets Florida Building Code requirements and ADA compliance when applicable.
Our commercial experience includes hotels, schools, and government buildings. We understand the importance of durability, appearance, and minimal maintenance for business applications. Each commercial project includes detailed specifications, warranty coverage, and ongoing maintenance options to protect your investment.
