Specifications include White frame, COLONNADE SEAGLASS 4823-0000 fabric. Project scope (1 unit) is smaller than the typical 1.1-unit retractable awning project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $5,079, below the $6,181 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for South Carolina: this is a humid subtropical / coastal climate, which means long hot summers, coastal salt exposure, and tropical-storm wind loads. A well-spec'd awning for this region should account for the local wind exposure (high along the coast) and UV load (high) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The COLONNADE SEAGLASS 4823-0000 fabric on this estimate is a reasonable match for humid subtropical / coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle South Carolina's sun (high) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Estimating in the summer of 2023 is typical for South Carolina — most awning installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
