What is the price difference between manual and motorized awnings in Falcon Heights?

Motorized Sunesta units carry a modest upcharge over manual crank versions, but motorization is included as standard on virtually every Falcon Heights installation we complete. The Somfy motor enables wind-sensor auto-retraction, which protects the awning during the storms common across twin cities core Minnesota — your consultant will price both options at the in-home estimate.

Can a Sunesta awning survive Falcon Heights winters?

Yes — when retracted into its sealed aluminum cassette, your Falcon Heights awning is protected from snow load, ice, and sub-zero temperatures. The 6063-T5 aluminum frame and stainless hardware are tested across the full -30°F to 110°F range Minnesota delivers annually. No special winterization is required.

Are your Falcon Heights installers insured and certified?

Every crew member working at a Falcon Heights property carries Sunesta factory training, OSHA certification, and is covered under our $2M general liability policy plus full Minnesota workers' compensation. Our installers are W-2 employees — not subcontracted day labor.

Is a retractable awning compatible with Falcon Heights's aluminum siding?

Yes — aluminum siding common on mid-century Falcon Heights homes is mounted over wood sheathing in nearly all cases, which provides reliable substrate for awning lag bolts. We use standoff brackets to preserve the siding profile and maintain rainscreen drainage.
