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

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

Can I use my awning during light rain in Hanover?

Yes — Sunesta fabric is treated to shed light to moderate rain when pitched correctly. We typically set Hanover installations at a 14–25° pitch, which provides positive drainage. Heavy rain or pooling water should trigger retraction; the wind sensor optionally pairs with a rain sensor for fully automated handling.

Can you install on a brick or stucco wall in Hanover?

Yes — our Hanover installers regularly mount into brick veneer, structural brick, stucco, and concrete block. Each substrate uses different anchors and depths; the on-site assessment determines the specific approach for your Hanover home before factory production begins.

When should I add an awning to a newly built Hanover home?

Most Hanover new-build homeowners install in year one or two, after observing how the sun actually moves across their specific lot. Builders rarely orient northwest corridor new-construction lots for optimal solar exposure, so retractable shade becomes a clear add after the first summer.
