It expands your living space.
A retractable awning turns a sun-baked patio into a cool, comfortable outdoor room you'll actually use — for entertaining, family dinners, or just a quiet drink at the end of the day. It's like adding another room onto your house, only it folds away when you don't want it.
It's versatile — covered or uncovered, your choice.
Want full sun this morning and shade by 3 p.m.? With one push of a button the awning extends in under a minute, and tucks back into its cassette just as easily. No poles to drag out, no canopy to take down before a storm.
It looks fabulous.
Extended, the canvas brings a sharp, custom-tailored look to your patio in stylish Sunbrella® fabric and a graceful aluminum frame. Retracted, the slim cassette tucks against the wall and disappears into your home's architecture — no bulky hardware on display.
It blocks heat where it matters.
Sunbrella canvas blocks UV and dramatically cuts solar heat gain on south- and west-facing walls — keeping your patio (and the rooms behind those big sliding doors) noticeably cooler in Texas summers, and easier to cool with the AC.
Looking for a fixed welded frame instead?
If you want a permanent shade structure that never needs to retract, we also build welded aluminum patio canopies, gazebo-pergola covers and storefront awnings.

Retractable Awnings FAQs — Texas, TX
How wide can a retractable awning be in Texas?
+
We commonly build motorized retractable awnings from about 8 ft up to 24 ft wide, with projections from 8 ft to 13 ft. Anything wider than ~24 ft is typically built as two awnings side by side so you keep the slim, single-cassette look without overstressing the arms.
Will a retractable awning hold up to Texas wind and storms?
+
Lateral-arm retractable awnings are not designed to ride out high wind — by design, you retract them. We strongly recommend our optional wind/sun sensor that automatically retracts the awning when gusts hit the threshold you set, even when you're not home. For year-round, no-touch shade in windy locations we'll steer you toward a fixed welded aluminum patio canopy instead.
What fabric do retractable awnings come in?
+
We sew our retractable awning canvases from premium Sunbrella® acrylic — the same marine-grade, UV-stable, mildew-resistant fabric we use on our welded storefront awnings. You pick from solids, stripes and tweeds; we'll bring swatches to your free on-site measurement.
Can I operate it from my phone or with Alexa / Google Home?
+
Yes. We use Somfy-style 110V motors with a handheld RTS remote standard, and we can add a smart-home hub so you can extend or retract the awning from your phone, Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home, and put it on a daily schedule.
Do you install retractable awnings in San Antonio, Austin and the Hill Country?
+
Yes — we're based in Seguin and install motorized retractable awnings across San Antonio, Austin, New Braunfels, San Marcos, Boerne, Kerrville, Fredericksburg and the rest of Central & South Texas.
How do I get a free retractable awning quote?
+
Send a few photos of the wall and patio plus rough width measurements through the form on this page, or call +1 (830) 390-9588. On-site measurements are free across our Texas service area.
What motor options are available?
+
Every awning ships standard with a quiet 110V Somfy-style tubular motor and a handheld 5-channel RTS remote. Optional upgrades include a hardwired wall switch, a wind/sun automation sensor that retracts the awning automatically, and a smart-home hub that lets you operate the awning from your phone, Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home — and put it on a daily schedule. We can also build a manual hand-crank version on smaller widths if you prefer no electrical work.
What drives the price of a retractable awning?
+
Four things: (1) width and projection — bigger awnings need heavier arms and more canvas; (2) Sunbrella® fabric choice — solids are the most affordable, premium tweeds and woven stripes cost more; (3) motor and automation — a basic remote setup is included, while wind/sun sensors and smart-home control add a small upgrade; (4) mounting and electrical — wall mounts on stucco or wood are straightforward, while soffit/fascia brackets, brick, or running new 110V power adds labor. Most residential motorized retractables in Texas land in the mid-four-figure range installed; we send a written quote with line-item options so you can pick what matters to you.
What areas do you install retractable awnings in?
+
We're based in Seguin, TX and install across the entire I-35 corridor and the Hill Country — San Antonio, New Braunfels, Austin, San Marcos, Schertz, Cibolo, Boerne, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, and out toward the Gulf Coast (Victoria, Cuero, Gonzales). Free on-site measurements anywhere in our Texas service area. If you're outside that radius, send photos and we'll let you know if we can still build and ship for self-install.
What kind of warranty comes with a Texas Made Shade retractable awning?
+
Welded aluminum cassette and lateral-arm frames carry a 10-year structural warranty. Sunbrella® canvas carries the manufacturer's 10-year limited warranty against fading, mildew and UV breakdown. Somfy-style motors carry a 5-year manufacturer warranty. Our installation workmanship is warranted for 1 year. We service everything we install — if anything ever needs adjustment or a part replaced, you call us, not a 1-800 number.
