At $4,913, this project sits in the 22nd percentile of the 2,807 retractable awning estimates we've analyzed — a "below average" market position. The national average for comparable work is $6,795, putting this estimate 28% below the typical retractable awning cost.

Specifications include Bronze 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 $4,913, below the $6,177 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for California: this is a Mediterranean / coastal climate, which means mild coastal temperatures inland heat, and salt-air corrosion near the coast. A well-spec'd awning for this region should account for the local wind exposure (moderate, with sundowner and Santa Ana events in southern regions) and UV load (high UV at altitude and in inland valleys) — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The SAXON CASCADE 4884-0000 fabric on this estimate is a reasonable match for Mediterranean / coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics handle California's sun (high UV at altitude and in inland valleys) better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Estimating in the spring of 2022 is typical for California — most awning installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
