Retractable Awnings

Shade When You Want It. Sun When You Don't.

Eastern NC's most trusted awning installer since 2002. Motorized & manual systems for any home.

Reclaim Your Patio from the Heat

Retractable awnings are the fastest way to transform an unusable sun-baked patio into a cool, comfortable outdoor living space. Unlike fixed structures, a retractable awning gives you full control — shade on hot afternoons, open sky for evening stargazing, and a clean look when fully retracted.

Hayward Outdoor installs motorized and manual retractable awnings from premium manufacturers with frames rated for coastal conditions. Our team measures, designs, and installs everything — no subcontractors, no surprises. Most residential installations complete in a single day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a retractable awning cost?

Most residential retractable awnings range from $2,500–$6,500 installed depending on width, fabric, and motorization. We provide a free in-home estimate with exact pricing.

Can retractable awnings withstand hurricane winds?

When retracted, awnings are fully protected. Most models have built-in wind sensors that automatically retract the awning when winds exceed a set threshold. We recommend retracting during named storms.

How long does installation take?

Most retractable awning installations are completed in one day. Larger projects with multiple units may take two days.

Do you service brands like Sunesta or SunSetter?

Yes — we are authorized dealers and service techs for leading awning brands. We also install and service most other quality brands.

What maintenance is required?

Clean the fabric with mild soap and water seasonally. Lubricate arms annually. Retract during severe weather. Awnings kept clean and properly maintained last 10–15+ years.
