This is a real retractable awning project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated August 20, 2023. Total project cost: $6,804.
This $6,804 retractable awning project was estimated in August 2023 for a homeowner in Weatherford, Texas, covering 1 unit measuring 20×12 ft.
Compared to the 2,712-project national dataset, this $6,804 estimate ranks above average — specifically the 75th percentile. The national median is $5,793 and the average is $6,812, so this project comes in in line with the mean. Within Texas specifically, the average across 129 comparable projects is $7,519 — making this estimate 9% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $28.90 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Bronze frame, KIAWAH SPA 4868-0000 fabric. Project scope (1 unit) is smaller than the typical 1.1-unit retractable awning project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $6,804, higher than the $6,192 national per-unit average.
For context, Texas homeowners installing a awning are working with long hot summers, severe spring storms, and significant temperature swings between coast, hill country, and panhandle. That shapes what specs actually matter: wind rating (high gust loads, particularly inland and along the Gulf), UV-stable fabrics (high UV exposure most of the year), and corrosion-resistant hardware where salt-air or humidity is present.The KIAWAH SPA 4868-0000 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 summer of 2023 is typical for Texas — most awning installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
