Real January 2023 retractable awning estimate from a verified contractor serving Fort Worth, Texas. Total cost came to $6,885 across 1 unit (20×12 ft).
Compared to the 2,712-project national dataset, this $6,885 estimate ranks premium — specifically the 76th percentile. The national median is $5,793 and the average is $6,812, so this project comes in in line with the mean.

Specifications include Bronze frame, MORELAND TAUPE 4880-0000 fabric. Project scope (1 unit) is smaller than the typical 1.1-unit retractable awning project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $6,885, higher than the $6,192 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Texas: this is a hot summer / mixed climate, which means long hot summers, severe spring storms, and significant temperature swings between coast, hill country, and panhandle. A well-spec'd awning for this region should anticipate high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf and high UV exposure most of the year — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The MORELAND TAUPE 4880-0000 fabric on this estimate is a reasonable match for hot summer / mixed conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the high UV exposure most of the year typical of Texas better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Estimating in the winter of 2023 is typical for Texas — most awning installations book in the shoulder months, when installer availability is better and material lead times shorten to 3–6 weeks.
