This is a real retractable awning project with actual pricing data from a professional installer. Estimated May 14, 2025. Total project cost: $12,403.
Colorado Springs homeowners planning a retractable awning installation in the spring of 2025 can use this $12,403 estimate as a real-world reference. The scope: 2 units (14×10 ft), Bronze frame, SILICA SILVER 6062-0000 fabric.
At $12,403, this project sits in the 95th percentile of the 2,712 retractable awning estimates we've analyzed — a "premium" market position. The national average for comparable work is $6,812, putting this estimate 82% above the typical retractable awning cost. Within Colorado specifically, the average across 115 comparable projects is $6,880 — making this estimate 80% above the local norm. That works out to roughly $46.11 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Bronze frame, SILICA SILVER 6062-0000 fabric. Project scope (2 units) is larger than the typical 1.1-unit retractable awning project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $6,201, higher than the $6,192 national per-unit average.
For context, Colorado homeowners installing a awning are working with intense UV, large diurnal temperature swings, and chinook wind events. That shapes what specs actually matter: wind rating (high, particularly along the Front Range), UV-stable fabrics (very high at altitude), and corrosion-resistant hardware where salt-air or humidity is present.The SILICA SILVER 6062-0000 fabric on this estimate is a reasonable match for high-altitude continental conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the very high at altitude typical of Colorado better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Estimating in the spring of 2025 is typical for Colorado — most awning installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
