Shade When You Want It, Open Sky When You Don't
Retractable awnings give you the best of both worlds — full shade over your patio or deck when the summer sun is blazing, and open sky when you want it. Extend the awning for instant, comfortable shade for outdoor dining and entertaining, then retract it to enjoy a clear evening or protect it from the weather.
And in Iowa, the seasons change fast. Our motorized awnings can include automatic sun and wind sensors that extend or retract on their own — protecting your investment during fast-moving summer storms, and they retract fully against the house to weather the Iowa winter. Matt handles the professional install and smart setup. Locally owned by Matt and Elise Anderson.

Frequently Asked Questions About Retractable Awnings in Eastern Iowa
Do retractable awnings hold up in Iowa weather?
Yes — our motorized awnings can include automatic wind sensors that retract the awning when high winds arrive, protecting it during fast-moving summer storms. When retracted, the awning is tucked safely against the house, out of the snow and weather through the Iowa winter.
What's the difference between a retractable awning and exterior patio shades?
A retractable awning projects out horizontally to shade a patio or deck from above and retracts fully when not in use. Exterior patio shades drop down vertically to block low-angle sun and add privacy. Many Iowa homeowners use both.
