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

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

What happens to my New Hope awning during a thunderstorm?

If you're home, one button retracts the awning in under a minute. If you're away, the wind sensor handles it autonomously — and we've watched sensors fire during New Hope-area straight-line wind events that took down trees while the awning sat safely in its cassette. That's the case for never installing without the sensor.

How long does installation take at a New Hope home?

A typical New Hope residential installation is completed in 4–6 hours by a two-person W-2 crew. From initial consultation to install day the timeline is 4–6 weeks, which includes custom manufacturing at the Sunesta factory in Jacksonville, Florida — built to your exact New Hope home's measurements.

Will a retractable awning work on my older New Hope home?

Yes — our New Hope installers work weekly with the postwar housing stock common across this first-ring suburb: ramblers, split-levels, story-and-a-halfs, and tuck-under-garage layouts. We assess fascia depth, soffit overhang, and rim joist condition during the consultation to specify the right mounting approach.
