Already Bought an Awning? We’ll Install It.
Bought a retractable awning from Amazon, Costco, or another retailer and need it professionally installed? You’re not alone — and AVI Design is one of the few companies in New Jersey that offers this service.
DIY awning installation can be frustrating, time-consuming, and risky. Improper mounting can damage your home’s structure, void the manufacturer’s warranty, or cause the awning to fail in wind. Our crew ensures proper attachment to your home’s framing, correct leveling, and reliable operation — so your investment is protected.
Whether it’s a basic manual model or a high-end motorized unit with sensors, we have the experience to install it safely and correctly. Bring us what you bought — we’ll make it work perfectly.
Benefits
What an Awning Does for Your Home
An awning isn’t just shade — it’s an investment in comfort, efficiency, and property value.
Extend Outdoor Living Space
Turn a hot, unusable patio or deck into a comfortable outdoor room. Eat, relax, and entertain outside even on the hottest summer days — your retractable awning creates shade on demand.
Reduce Cooling Costs Up to 25%
Awnings block direct sunlight from entering through windows and doors, reducing indoor temperatures and lowering your air conditioning costs. The Department of Energy estimates savings of up to 25% on cooling.
Protect Furniture from UV
UV rays fade indoor furniture, flooring, and artwork near windows. Awnings block up to 98% of UV radiation, preserving your interiors and outdoor furniture alike.
Add Property Value
A professionally installed awning is a visible home improvement that enhances curb appeal and adds functional outdoor space — both attractive to future buyers.
Sunbrella Fabrics Built to Last
We use Sunbrella fabrics — the industry standard for awning fabric. Fade-resistant, mold-resistant, and backed by a 10-year warranty. Hundreds of colors and patterns to match your home.

Common Questions
Homeowner Awning FAQ
Can you install an awning I already purchased?
Yes — this is one of our most popular services. If you bought a retractable or fixed awning from Amazon, Costco, or any other retailer, we’ll install it for you. We ensure proper mounting, leveling, and structural attachment so your awning performs safely and lasts. Most companies won’t install product they didn’t sell — we will.
What is the difference between motorized and manual retractable awnings?
Manual retractable awnings use a hand crank to extend and retract. Motorized awnings use an electric motor operated by remote control, wall switch, or smart home integration. Motorized models can also include wind and sun sensors that automatically retract or extend based on weather conditions — protecting your awning and providing shade without lifting a finger.
Can you help with HOA approval?
Absolutely. We provide detailed drawings, fabric samples, and specifications that HOA boards typically require for approval. We have experience working with HOA communities across northern New Jersey and can help you navigate the process smoothly.
What is the Sunbrella fabric warranty?
Sunbrella awning fabrics come with a 10-year limited warranty against fading. The fabric is also engineered to resist mold, mildew, and staining. With proper care, Sunbrella awning fabric can last 10–15 years while maintaining its color and performance.
How long does the installation take?
Most residential awning installations are completed in a single day. For custom orders with Sunbrella fabric, the lead time is typically 3–4 weeks from fabric selection to installation. If you already have an awning that needs installing, we can usually schedule within 1–2 weeks.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes — AVI Design provides free, no-obligation estimates for all residential awning projects. We visit your home, take measurements, discuss your goals, and provide a clear written quote. You can also visit our showroom first to explore options.
Can I visit the showroom before deciding?
Yes — our Nutley, NJ showroom is open for homeowners to browse Sunbrella fabric swatches, see frame and hardware samples, and watch motorized awning demonstrations. No appointment necessary. It’s the best way to choose colors and materials with confidence.
