Estimated Cost Breakdown
Why trust our data?
We don't sell awnings. We aggregate national pricing data to give you the leverage you need during negotiations.
Real Market Averages
Our calculator is powered by verified regional quote data, adjusting for local labor rates and material supply chains.
No Brand Bias
Manufacturer sites hide prices to force a sales call. We show you the numbers upfront, completely independent of brand.
Hyper-Local Accuracy
Prices in Phoenix aren't prices in Seattle. We factor in your climate zone and regional contractor density.
Three Styles. One Right Choice for Your Home.
Every retractable awning uses one of three construction styles. The style determines protection level, price, and how the awning looks when retracted.
Open Roller
$Effortless, everyday design
A great choice for covered patios and sheltered spaces. Clean, low-profile look with the fabric and arms exposed when retracted — allows for easy service access.
Standard Features
- Wireless remote included
- Manual override for power outages
- Optional protective hood (50% coverage)
- White or bronze hardware finishes
Semi Cassette
$$Classic, versatile design
Top and sides enclosed; bottom open. Semi-enclosed housing shields fabric from rain and debris. Built-in LED lighting extends enjoyment into the evening. Spans up to 40' wide.
Standard Features
- Built-in adjustable LED arm lighting
- EZ-Pitch manual slope adjustment
- 30+ in-stock Sunbrella® fabrics
- Smart home automation compatible
- Optional wind sensor & drop screens
Full Cassette
$$$Sleek, contemporary design
Fabric, arms, and roller are fully enclosed when retracted. Maximum protection from UV exposure, rain, ice, and wildlife. Contemporary square profile — no exposed valance.
Standard Features
- Built-in adjustable LED arm lighting
- Fully sealed when retracted — no fabric exposed
- 300+ Sunbrella® custom fabric options
- Smart home automation compatible
Know before you buy
Two decisions drive most of the cost — and the regret. Read before you choose.
Motorized
$33/sqft
Manual
$30/sqft
Operation Type
Motorized vs. Manual: Which is actually worth it?
Manual awnings are left retracted 75% of the time. Motorized models cost slightly more — but the price gap is smaller than most people think, and the daily difference is significant.

Standard
Fades in 3–5 yrs
Sunbrella®
Lasts 10+ yrs
Fabric Quality
Standard Acrylic vs. Sunbrella®: Is the upgrade worth it?
Standard fabric fades visibly within 3–5 years. Sunbrella® is solution-dyed — color goes through every fiber, not just the surface — and holds for a decade.
