Transforming a deck or patio into an inviting, functional outdoor space with a retractable awning will increase a homes value and ultimately create greater selling power. Awnings can also be the finishing touch to your deck or pario investment by creating an environment that will make for a more usable area, especially in an area like here in Texas where triple digit temperatures were the norm last summer.
Permenant home additions can cost between $150 and $200 per square foot, making it easy to spend over $20,000 on a simple 12 x 12-ft. room. Permanent additions also require significant upkeep and can limit future landscape options. In contrast, a retractable awning provides a cost-effective option.
Many designers and homeowners are incorporating awnings in an effort to create an affordable and appealing oasis that captures the defining characteristics of an outdoor room. Not only do awnings create a premium outdoor hangout for family and friends to gather, but the new space can increase the value with a low initial cost.
Dollar for dollar, the value of this investment is hard to match.
