Why Retractable Awnings

Fixed awnings and pergolas provide shade but you’re stuck with it – even on overcast days or when you want to stargaze. Retractable awnings give you control. Extend them on hot sunny days to keep your patio comfortable and reduce heat gain through nearby windows. Retract them when you want full sun or before a windstorm.

For Kootenay homeowners looking to extend their outdoor season, a quality retractable awning is a worthwhile investment. Contact us for a free consultation and quote. We serve Nelson, Trail, Castlegar, Cranbrook, and throughout Southeastern BC
