8 Retractable Awnings to Install This Summer

Retractable awnings are a practical, energy-saving investment—and they give your home an elegant finishing touch that may even help increase your property value. They dress up windows and doors like icing on a cake—a scalloped valance with white piping will give you a classic look, while a black-and-white striped one can offer Paris bistro vibes—and they provide more shade for your patio or deck than a standard cantilever umbrella or patio umbrella.

While retractable awnings can certainly be a major expense if you go for a high-end motorized model, there are plenty of lower-cost options on the market that’ll only set you back a few hundred dollars, even if you have a large area to cover. And, buying one on the cheap doesn’t mean you’ll have to sacrifice quality or style.
