This is a real retractable awning project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated March 11, 2023. Total project cost: $5,389.
This $5,389 retractable awning project was estimated in March 2023 for a homeowner in Mansfield, Texas, covering 1 unit measuring 14×10 ft.
Compared to the 2,712-project national dataset, this $5,389 estimate ranks below average — specifically the 38th percentile. The national median is $5,793 and the average is $6,812, so this project comes in 21% below the mean.

Specifications include Beige frame, SAXON CASCADE 4884-0000 fabric. Project scope (1 unit) is smaller than the typical 1.1-unit retractable awning project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $5,389, below the $6,192 national per-unit average.
Texas's climate — long hot summers, severe spring storms, and significant temperature swings between coast, hill country, and panhandle — drives different awning priorities than the national average. High UV exposure most of the year pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf push hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.The SAXON CASCADE 4884-0000 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 spring of 2023 is typical for Texas — most awning installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
