Your patio doesn’t have to be off-limits during Florida’s peak sun hours. Professional awning installation transforms unusable outdoor areas into comfortable spaces where you can actually relax, entertain, and enjoy your property investment.
Quality awnings reduce your cooling costs by blocking direct sunlight before it hits your windows and outdoor areas. You’ll notice the difference in your electricity bills while protecting your outdoor furniture from fading and weather damage.
The right awning installation creates an outdoor room that works for your lifestyle. Whether you want a quiet morning coffee spot or an entertaining area for friends and family, custom awnings give you the shade and comfort you need year-round.
We bring over 20 years of experience from our established businesses in NYC and Toronto to Three Lakes, FL. We understand what works in Florida’s unique climate and building requirements.
As a comprehensive home design company, we handle everything from initial consultation to final installation. Our team knows the permitting process, building codes, and installation techniques that ensure your awning performs properly for years to come.
Three Lakes homeowners choose us because we’re not just an awning company. We’re design specialists who understand how awnings fit into your overall home improvement goals, whether that’s reducing energy costs, increasing property value, or creating the perfect outdoor entertaining space.
Your awning installation starts with an on-site consultation where we measure your space, discuss your needs, and show you options that work for your home’s architecture. We handle all permitting and ensure compliance with local building codes.
Once you approve the design, we custom-manufacture your awning using materials designed for Florida’s climate. UV-resistant fabrics, rust-proof frames, and durable hardware ensure your investment lasts through storms, humidity, and daily sun exposure.
Installation typically takes a few hours to a full day, depending on your project size. Our team arrives with everything needed, installs your awning properly, tests all functions (especially for motorized options), and cleans up completely. You’ll have full operation instructions and warranty information before we leave.

Our awning installation services include retractable awnings, fixed awnings, motorized systems, and custom designs for residential and commercial properties. Each installation includes proper mounting, weatherproofing, and operation testing.
Three Lakes homeowners particularly benefit from retractable awnings that adapt to Florida’s changing weather conditions. Morning shade for coffee, full extension during peak afternoon sun, and quick retraction when storms approach. Motorized options add convenience with push-button operation.
We install awnings for patios, decks, windows, doors, and storefronts throughout Three Lakes. Each project includes custom fabric selection, frame sizing, and installation techniques that account for local wind loads and building requirements. Your awning comes with manufacturer warranties plus our installation guarantee.
Most awning installations in Three Lakes take between 2-6 hours for standard residential projects. Larger or more complex installations may require a full day. The timeline depends on your awning size, mounting location, and whether you’re choosing motorized features.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your routine. Our team arrives with all necessary equipment and materials, completes the installation efficiently, and tests everything thoroughly before finishing. You’ll have your new awning ready to use the same day in most cases.
For custom or commercial projects, we’ll provide a specific timeline during your consultation. Weather conditions can occasionally affect scheduling, but we communicate any changes immediately and reschedule promptly.
Retractable awnings perform exceptionally well in Three Lakes because they adapt to Florida’s variable weather conditions. You can extend them for sun protection and retract them quickly when storms approach, protecting the fabric and frame from damage.
We recommend solution-dyed acrylic fabrics that resist fading, mildew, and water damage. These materials are specifically designed for Florida’s intense UV exposure and humidity levels. Aluminum frames with powder coating provide the best combination of strength and corrosion resistance.
Motorized retractable awnings are particularly popular in Three Lakes because they allow instant adjustment. Wind sensors can automatically retract the awning when conditions become unsafe, protecting your investment even when you’re not home.
Permit requirements for awning installation in Three Lakes depend on the size, type, and mounting location of your awning. Most residential awnings under certain size thresholds don’t require permits, but larger installations or those affecting building structure typically do.
We handle all permit research and applications as part of our installation service. We’re familiar with Miami-Dade County building codes and requirements specific to Three Lakes. This ensures your installation meets all local regulations and passes any required inspections.
We obtain permits before starting work and schedule any necessary inspections. This protects you from potential issues and ensures your awning installation is properly documented for insurance and property value purposes.
Quality awning installation can reduce cooling costs by 15-25% by blocking direct sunlight before it heats your home’s interior. South and west-facing windows benefit most from awning shading, as these receive the most intense afternoon sun in Three Lakes.
The actual savings depend on your home’s size, window placement, and current energy efficiency. Homes with large glass areas or sliding doors see the most dramatic improvement. Awnings also protect your interior furnishings from UV damage, reducing replacement costs over time.
Many Three Lakes homeowners notice lower electricity bills within the first month after installation. Combined with the extended usability of outdoor spaces, awnings typically pay for themselves through energy savings and increased property enjoyment within a few years.
Awnings in Three Lakes require minimal maintenance when properly installed with quality materials. Monthly cleaning with mild soap and water removes dirt, pollen, and salt air residue that can accumulate. Avoid pressure washing, which can damage fabric and seams.
Inspect your awning quarterly for loose hardware, fabric wear, or frame issues. Retractable awnings should be operated regularly to keep mechanisms functioning smoothly. During hurricane season, retract awnings when high winds are forecast to prevent damage.
Professional annual inspections help identify potential issues before they become costly repairs. We offer maintenance services for all our installations, including fabric cleaning, hardware adjustment, and motor servicing for motorized units. Proper care extends awning life significantly in Florida’s challenging climate.
Quality awnings can withstand moderate wind speeds, typically up to 35-45 mph when properly installed. However, hurricane-force winds require awning retraction for protection. Retractable awnings offer the best hurricane season flexibility by allowing complete fabric and arm protection.
We install all awnings with proper wind load calculations and secure mounting appropriate for Three Lakes wind conditions. Motorized awnings can include wind sensors that automatically retract the awning when dangerous conditions develop, even when you’re not home.
During hurricane season preparation, retract all awnings completely and secure any removable components. This protects your investment and prevents awning damage from becoming projectiles. Fixed awnings may require additional securing or temporary removal in severe weather situations.
