Ensuring Longevity: Why Professional Installation is Crucial for Retractable Awnings

Choosing a retractable awning can transform your outdoor space, but the key to maximizing its benefits lies in professional installation. Expert installation ensures that your awning is securely attached and functions perfectly, offering both safety and durability.

Why Professional Installation is Crucial

Retractable awnings are mechanical systems requiring precise installation. Professional installers at Ocean Tailors have the expertise and tools to securely anchor the awning to your home’s structural framing, not just the surface siding. This prevents potential damage and ensures that the awning withstands various weather conditions, providing long-term value and functionality. Additionally, in order for the factory warranty to be valid, the awning must be installed by an authorized dealer and installed to factory specifications.


Customization for Perfect Fit + Maximum Shade

Ocean Tailors offers a variety of customizable options, including different frame styles, fabrics, and mounting locations such as wall mount, under soffit mount, and roof mount. This ensures your awning complements your home or business, enhancing both aesthetics and usability.


The Professional Installation Process

  1. Consultation and Assessment: Ocean Tailors begins with a shade consultation to recommend the best awning type and mounting location based on sun position, structural integrity, and design preferences.

  2. Site Preparation: The site is prepared by cleaning, removing debris, repainting surfaces if necessary, and checking for any structural features that might interfere with installation.

  3. Electrical Considerations: For motorized awnings, ensure an electrical connection is available. Ocean Tailors can guide you on outlet placement.

  4. Installation Day: The Ocean Tailors team securely attaches the awning using proper brackets and hardware, then extends and adjusts it for optimal protection and coverage.

  5. Final Adjustments and Testing: After installation, the team tests the awning’s mechanisms and provides instructions on usage and maintenance.
