FAQ

Service questions, answered straight

Which product should I start with, awning, screens, or patio cover?
Start with the problem you feel most. Brutal afternoon sun on the patio calls for a retractable awning or a patio cover overhead; heat, glare, and insects pouring through open patio doors call for motorized screens. Most of our customers end up with a combination, an awning or cover overhead plus screens on the sunniest side, because each product solves a different problem. The free estimate is where we sort it out: Richard measures the space, watches how the sun moves across it, and recommends the setup that fits, with a written quote for each option.
Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?
Yes. Patio covers and some commercial installs need permits, and many HOAs want to see the plans before anything is built. We prepare the drawings, submit the paperwork, and deal with the inspectors, it is part of the job, not an add-on. If your HOA has an architectural committee, we have been through that process many times and know what they want to see.
Which of your services carry the 15-year warranty?
Retractable awnings and motorized power screens carry our 15-year warranty, frames, hardware, motors, and fabrics on the Quality Improvement Products line. Patio covers carry a 3-year installation warranty and a lifetime product warranty when built with Duralum. Everything is American-made and installed by our own crews, which is how we can stand behind the work in writing.
How do I get a quote?
Text us at (909) 325-3110 or call Richard Gutierrez, our project manager, at (949) 378-6642, se habla español. We will schedule a free on-site estimate, measure everything, talk through the options, and leave you a written quote. No pressure, no obligation, no same-day-close games.
What is the typical timeline from estimate to install?
Most retractable awning and motorized screen installs are done in a single day. Patio covers and larger commercial projects take longer, and Richard will give you a straight timeline at the estimate, then the crew shows up when they say they will. No vanishing for a week mid-project.
Do you repair awnings you did not install?
Yes, fabric replacement, motor swaps, and frame repairs on most major brands. If the awning is not worth saving, we will tell you that instead of selling you repairs. Honest advice first is one of our operating rules.
What brands and products do you install?
We install the Quality Improvement Products line of retractable awnings and motorized power screens, American-made, Somfy-powered, and backed by our 15-year warranty. Patio covers are custom-designed and engineered for your home. Everything is selected for how it performs in Southern California sun, wind, and Santa Ana season, not for what is cheapest to stock.
What areas do you serve?
All of San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, from the coast to the desert edge. Our crews are based in Eastvale, right in the middle of it all, so service calls and warranty visits run on a normal local schedule. If you are outside those counties, reach out anyway: we work with trusted local contractors in additional areas and can point you in the right direction.
