What to Expect When Visiting Your Nearest Awning Store

Chances are your nearest awning store is on your phone. Most awning retailers and installers are home service providers similar to roofers or contractors.
You call them to schedule a free estimate. They come to your home, show you examples of past jobs they’ve performed and help you decide on a custom solution for your awning, patio cover or shade sail.
Working with an awning installer that doesn’t have a traditional brick and mortar showroom has some significant benefits for home and business owners. Showrooms, especially a showroom that contains awnings, requires a large building. In Phoenix that means a lot of extra overhead. Those higher operating costs inevitably gets passed on to the customer.
Most people also appreciate receiving customized solutions based on what works best for their home. All you really learn about a patio cover in a showroom is what an awning looks like in a display – it won’t be perfectly representative of how that awning might look on your home.
Customization Is Key When It Comes to Awnings
Awnings are very rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s one of the reasons people run into so many problems when they buy DIY retractable awnings on the internet and try to install them at home. Patios, windows and doors vary in size. You might want a shade screen that hangs between two pillars, or an awning that extend out four feet across a five-foot-long window, or a patio cover that extends out ten feet where you plan on extending your patio with pavers.
Every shade solution in Phoenix tends to be unique – or at least that’s the way your awning company should approach your job.
What Is a Free Estimate from Arizona Awnings Like?
In leu of a showroom experience we strive to offer attentive one-on-one design consultations by dispatching an experienced awning expert to your home. They’ll come out at a time that’s convenient for you, listen carefully to what you want to accomplish and offer several potential options that might work for you.
Once you’ve decided on the basic solution you can start discussing details. They can show you all the different fabric types, awning styles, valance styles and various custom options available for your awning job.
Many people find they need to take some time and think about exactly what would look best for their home and provide the right functionality. Some people call us knowing exactly what they want, but many others need to mull over the many options we offer.
Once you’ve decided, let us know and we’ll schedule your awning installation job as soon as possible.
What we don’t want to do is pressure you into agreeing to an awning you’ll regret. We believe in giving our customers a variety of customization options and then the space and time they need to make up their own mind.
