How Much Does It Cost to Install Awnings on Your Home? Can You Finance?

Awnings are a worthwhile investment for any home, especially in Arizona. While the constant sunshine can be a mood-lifter, it can cast harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays into your home for prolonged periods of time, damaging not just your floor and furniture but your skin health as well. Awnings help to protect you and your family while still allowing you to relax and enjoy your outdoor spaces.

While awnings are invaluable for Arizona residents, they aren’t inexpensive. Regardless, many find that the long-term use and benefits more than make up for the initial installation costs.

Can I Finance My Awning?

If you want to invest in an awning solution or need to replace an awning but have a limited budget of liquid cash, then financing may be your best choice. The professionals at Arizona Awnings will help you explore your options and determine an ideal solution that prioritizes your needs. Retractable awnings

How Much Do Awnings Cost?

• Traditional Awnings: This standard style is permanently attached outside windows and doors, providing consistent shade and protection through an even plane of fabric. They typically cost between $500 to $1,500 to install, with prices dependent on things like size, fabric choice and style.
• Convex Awnings: Convex awnings utilize a slightly curved design with straight edges on the side to provide a sleek aesthetic and typically cost $1,000 to $3,000 to install.
• Dome Awnings: With a rounded shape, dome awnings offer a stylish look and functional shade. The range of installation expenses is especially varied, as it can cost anywhere from $800 to $2,500.
• Spear Point Awnings: Spear point awnings feature a European-like design with pointed metal rods and can cost between $1,500 and $3,500 to install, making them generally more expensive than other awning types.
• Retractable Awnings: Retractable awnings give homeowners more control over their shading, allowing them to adjust to let more sunlight in during the winter and provide more coverage during the summer. There are also manual and motorized variations, with automation typically costing extra. This added flexibility ultimately makes it one of the more expensive backyard patio awning options on the market.

Although installation can cost anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 or more, many find its convenience more than makes up for the initial expense. You can learn more about retractable awnings and their benefits compared to traditional awnings here[1] .

• Patio Cover Awnings: Patio cover awnings cover your entire patio and deck instead of targeted areas like outside your door or window. The cost is highly dependent on size, style and fabric choices, with installation costs averaging between $2,000 and $7,000.
• Canopies: Canopies[2]  – including cabanas and gazebos – are freestanding structures that offer a wider covering of shade and comfort and can cost $3,000 to upwards of $10,000 or more to install due to their larger size and construction material choices.

Types of Costs Involved in Awning Installation

Both the exact location where you want awnings on your house and the hardware required to install it will affect the project’s total cost. Because installing an awning on the second story requires additional equipment and manpower, it tends to cost more than a first-floor awning. Adding additional features to enhance your awning’s functionality – such as sun and wind sensors, motorization, drop valences or side curtains and LED lighting – will also affect the total cost.

Can I Install an Awning on My Own?

While it’s possible for DIYers to install a basic awning themselves, hiring a professional can ensure it is installed safely and securely without the risk of falling off or blowing off with a slight wind gust. Due to its heavy weight, if an awning fell off your home after being improperly installed, it could cause serious property damage and potentially hurt someone.

Hiring an expert can ensure your household’s safety while also guaranteeing your awning is of high quality, maximizing its lifespan and functionality to best combat the brutal Arizona sun.
