Worth Knowing
EZ-Pitch, The Cassette And Our Guarantee
A Retractable Awning is for anywhere a permanent roof isn't wanted, which describes many of the decks and slab patios behind the ranches and splits in South Kansas City. It gives full shade over an uncovered patio, mounts to the house with no posts in the yard, and rolls back on the days you'd rather sit in the sun. We have 30 Sunbrella fabrics in stock and over 300 to choose from, and we bring them to your home so you can choose against your own brick and trim.
EZ-Pitch is the feature many clients end up using most. The included crank handle changes the angle of the awning with no tools and no ladder, tilting it down against the low sun at the end of a July evening, and the same adjustment lets water run off one side in light rain. The integrated cassette closes over the rolled fabric to keep it dry and protected from insects and birds. LED lights come standard under the arms, and every awning we install is motorized, with the wiring completed to the closest outlet.
An awning is made for sun and light rain, and it comes in for storms, which a wind sensor can do for you. Every Retractable Awning carries our Five Year Service Guarantee, and our Carefree Guarantee applies, with the price held for 180 days from the quote. One unit runs from 10 to 40 feet wide with an 8, 10 or 12 foot projection. We plan on 6 to 8 weeks from order to installation, and our own full time Install Techs mount it, set the pitch with you and take the packaging away.

Straight Answers
Retractable Awnings questions from South Kansas City homeowners
Yes. It mounts to the wall of the house above the door, extends out over the deck and never needs a post to the yard, which works well for the raised decks off the kitchen in the split levels around Hickman Mills and Ruskin Heights. Your Design Specialist checks the wall at the consultation so the mounting is sound.
Yes. With EZ-Pitch you lower the front edge of the awning with the crank handle and it blocks the low light instead of letting it slide underneath, then raise it again for midday. On a west facing deck behind a South Kansas City ranch, that adjustment makes the deck comfortable at six.
Yes, an awning should be retracted in real wind, and a wind sensor can retract it for you when you're not home. Every awning we install is motorized, so bringing it in yourself is one press of the remote. The cassette closes over the fabric and keeps it dry once it's rolled up.
Yes. Dimmable LED light strips come standard under the arms of every Solar Shield Blinds Retractable Awning, with their own remote, so you can have dinner under the awning in August without dragging a lamp outside.
Yes. Retractable Awnings carry our Five Year Service Guarantee, and our Carefree Guarantee applies too, including the 180 day price hold and Life Happens, which covers one unintentional damage event within five years at no charge. The coverage transfers with the house if you sell.
