Expert Retractable Awning Installation in Denver & The Front Range
Reclaim Your Outdoor Living Space with Colorado’s Shade Professionals
Since 2009, Direct Awnings has helped homeowners across the Front Range transform their hot patios and decks into comfortable outdoor retreats. We are a full-service awning and shade company, meaning you have a single point of contact from your initial design consultation through professional installation and the lifetime maintenance of your system.
Why Choose a Custom Retractable Awning?
In Colorado, our sun is more intense. At high altitudes, a quality awning is more than a decorative addition—it’s a performance upgrade for your home.
- Cooler Outdoor Living: High-performance solar fabrics can make your patio or deck up to 20 degrees cooler, turning an unusable space into a summer sanctuary.
- Lower Energy Costs: By blocking the sun before it hits your windows and sliding glass doors, our awnings reduce solar heat gain and slash your air conditioning bills.
- UV Protection: Protect your family and your indoor furnishings from harmful UV rays with fabrics recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
- Unobstructed Views: Enjoy the shade without the clutter. Our retractable systems are self-supporting, meaning no vertical poles to block your view of the mountains or backyard.
