Are estimates really free for Oakdale homeowners?

Yes — and unlike many east metro contractors, we send a measurement specialist (not a commissioned salesperson) to your Oakdale property. The visit takes about 45 minutes and you receive a detailed written proposal within 24–48 hours, with zero obligation.

What happens to my Oakdale 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 Oakdale-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.

Do you handle electrical hookup for motorized awnings in Oakdale?

For most Oakdale installations, motorized awnings are wired into an existing exterior outlet or hardwired into the nearest junction box. If your Oakdale property requires a dedicated circuit, we coordinate with a licensed Minnesota electrician — typically a half-day add-on that's quoted separately so you see the exact cost up front.

Do you offer financing for Oakdale homeowners?

Yes — Oakdale customers currently qualify for 15 months of no-interest financing on motorized retractable awnings and screens, with credit decisions returned during the in-home consultation. Your consultant will outline monthly payment options based on the exact configuration you select.
