Real June 2025 cross-arm retractable awning estimate from a verified contractor serving Colorado Springs, Colorado. Total cost came to $5,566 across 1 unit (10×12 ft).
Compared to the 18-project national dataset, this $5,566 estimate ranks above average — specifically the 67th percentile. The national median is $4,842 and the average is $7,846, so this project comes in 29% below the mean. Within Colorado specifically, the average across 5 comparable projects is $11,484 — making this estimate 52% below the local norm. That works out to roughly $56.71 per square foot of coverage.
Specifications include Bronze frame, SILICA GRAVEL 6063-0000 fabric. Project scope (1 unit) is smaller than the typical 1.1-unit cross-arm retractable awning project. Per-unit cost on this estimate is $5,566, below the $7,133 national per-unit average.
Worth knowing for Colorado: this is a high-altitude continental climate, which means intense UV, large diurnal temperature swings, and chinook wind events. A well-spec'd awning for this region should anticipate high, particularly along the Front Range and very high at altitude — both of which influence the long-term cost-per-year of any installation.The SILICA GRAVEL 6063-0000 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 summer of 2025 is typical for Colorado — most awning installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
