How much does an awning cost in Portland?

Your price is the sum of six things
Change any one of them and the number moves. That’s why two awnings the same width can be priced very differently.
Size
Width and projection, or the width and height of each opening.
- How far it reaches out from the wall
- How many openings or windows
Type & frame
Retractable, fixed, screen or canopy, and what holds it up.
- Welded aluminum, pipe frame or bolt-on metal
- Hood or cassette on a retractable
Fabric
Sunbrella or Tempotest acrylics, solids or stripes.
- Pattern and color
- Hard-to-find matches for a recover
Operation
By hand, or a Somfy motor with a remote or switch.
- Wind sensor that retracts it for you
- Zip or non-zip screen system
Mounting
How it attaches to your building and what’s behind the wall.
- Siding, brick, stucco or a roof mount
- Access to the spot
Extras
The details that make it yours.
- Logo, lettering or a valance
- Permits for storefront work
Your quote, built for one wall
We price it once we know these six. Photos and a rough measurement cover most of them.

Five honest ways to spend less
None of these involve a cheaper awning. They’re how our customers keep good ones going longer.
Recover instead of replace
Most awnings fail at the fabric, the motor and limit switches, or the hardware rather than the frame. New fabric on a sound frame often makes an awning look new.
Awning repair & recoveringAsk about aluminum
Aluminum awnings mount on almost any exterior surface, are an affordable option, and generally take only a few hours to install.
Window & door awningsUse the specs we already have
If we built your awning, we likely have its dimensions and fabric specs on file, so a recover can skip the re-measure.
RecoversBuy the drive once
A stainless steel chain drive avoids the glued rubber belts that slip and stretch on budget retractables, the repair that often means pulling the whole awning down.
Chain vs. beltKeep it clean
Most fabric awnings can be cleaned in place. Regular cleaning and the occasional adjustment keep an awning going for years.

Cost questions
Straight answers, without a price list. For a number on your project, the fastest route is a photo and a rough measurement.
Build your estimate requestWhat is the typical cost of a retractable awning in Portland?
A retractable awning is priced on its width and projection, the housing, whether it’s motorized or hand-cranked, any sensors, how it mounts and the fabric. We quote after a free consultation; photos and rough measurements usually get you a ballpark first.
What is the average cost of a motorized patio screen?
Each opening is priced on its width and height, the system (zip or non-zip), the fabric and the controls. The consultation is free, and photos with rough measurements of each opening usually get you a ballpark before anyone visits.
What is the average cost of a window awning?
A window awning is priced on its width, shape, frame type, fabric or aluminum, and how it attaches to the house. After a free consultation we quote it; a straight-on photo of each window with a rough width is usually enough for a ballpark.
How much does awning fabric replacement cost?
A recover is priced on the awning’s size and shape, the fabric you pick, and any graphics or valance. If we built the awning, its specs are probably on file, which can spare a re-measure. Photos get you a ballpark.
Can you give me an awning price over the phone?
A ballpark, often. Size, projection, frame, fabric, controls and the wall it mounts to all move the price, so send photos and rough measurements first. A site visit and a written quote follow.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. Rose City Awning & Flag offers free consultations. Call the shop, email photos to sales@rosecityawning.com, or use the estimate form on this page to get started.
