Retractable Awnings In Blue Springs
Retractable Awnings in Blue Springs, MO
Retractable Awnings turn a bare patio in Blue Springs into a shaded, usable space. The newer homes at Eagles Ridge and Chapman Farms came with a concrete patio, young trees and no roof, and our Solar Shield Blinds motorized awnings put full shade over that patio and roll back in at the push of a button.
Where It Fits In Blue Springs
Where retractable awnings fit in Blue Springs
Bare patios behind new builds, decks that never got a roof and kitchen glass facing west all get shade without a permanent structure or a single post in the yard.
- Patios behind new buildsAt Eagles Ridge and Chapman Farms the trees are young and real shade is years off. An awning shades the patio this summer and rolls back when you want the sun.
- Decks without a roofA deck off the kitchen of a Waterfield or Plaza Estates two story is hard to use after lunch in July. Put an awning over it and the deck becomes a place to eat dinner in summer.
- West facing kitchen glassAn awning over the patio door shades the glass from outside, so the kitchen and breakfast nook stay cooler on a summer afternoon.
- Slab patios on raised ranchesA concrete patio off the back of a 1970s Kingsridge home gets full shade from an awning mounted to the house wall, with nothing set in the yard.
Worth Knowing
Full shade over the patio, with the features that come standard
A retractable awning is the answer for a patio where you want shade without a permanent roof, and that describes a lot of back yards in Blue Springs, from a 1970s raised ranch to a house that went up last year. Run it out for afternoon shade, then bring it back into its cassette once the evening cools or the clouds roll in. On a raised deck off a two story, it does the same thing one floor up and keeps the direct sun off the kitchen glass.
Each awning is built to a custom width between 10 and 40 feet and projects 8, 10 or 12 feet, sized from the measurements your Design Specialist takes of the wall and the patio. Every awning is motorized, and we wire it to the closest outlet during install. Standard on every awning: EZ-Pitch for setting the angle with the included crank handle, a cassette housing that closes over the rolled fabric, and dimmable LED lights under the arms with a remote of their own.
Awnings are meant for sun and a light rain, so bring yours in when the wind rises, or let a wind sensor handle it. If you want a covered deck sealed off from wind, rain and bugs, that job belongs to Exterior Patio Shades. We offer over 300 Sunbrella fabrics, three frame colors at no extra charge, and a straight or sea wave valance. Plan on 6 to 8 weeks from order to install, and your quote holds for 180 days.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from Blue Springs homeowners
Yes, that's the patio it's made for. A Retractable Awning mounts to the house wall, extends out over the concrete and covers the seating area in full shade through the afternoon, then rolls back when the sun drops. No posts or footings go in the yard.
No. Every awning we install is motorized and runs from a remote, and our Install Techs wire each one to the closest outlet. Our awnings are heavy and reach a long way from the house, so a hand crank for extending them isn't advised. You'll only use a crank to set the EZ-Pitch angle.
Yes. An awning is made for sun and light rain, so roll it in when the wind comes up. The motor makes that one button, and a wind sensor can do it for you when nobody is home.
Yes, with EZ-Pitch. You lower the front edge with the included crank handle so it blocks the low western sun, then raise it again for midday, with no tools and no ladder.
A good rule for planning is 6 to 8 weeks from order to install, and we do our best to install it as soon as your awning arrives. Book the consultation in spring and the awning is up before the Fourth of July.
Yes. Every Retractable Awning carries our Five Year Service Guarantee as part of the Carefree Guarantee, so a defect in that time is fixed at no charge, and it's installed by our own full time Install Techs.
