Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
What types of payments do you accept?
Please call the business directly to discuss payment options and any available special financing plans for your large-scale shading projects, such as aluminum patio covers.
Are retractable awnings durable enough for the Nevada wind?
Our high-quality retractable awnings are robust, but it is best practice to retract them during high winds or heavy storms to prevent damage to the unit. Wind sensors can be added to motorized models to automate this protection.
Can a new shade or awning help lower my home's energy bills?
Yes, exterior shading products like retractable awnings and solar screens block a large amount of solar heat before it enters your home, which significantly reduces the energy load on your air conditioning.
