Retractable Awnings for Homes & Businesses in Prince George, VA
Retractable awnings may strike you as an ultra-modern convenience. But technically, they were in use as far back as the Roman era, when huge, manually operated fabric covers were drawn over seating areas of the Colosseum to protect spectators from rain and intense sunlight. The appeal of having shade and shelter on demand has continued through the centuries, and technological advances have fine-tuned the operation of retractable awnings so that 21st-century homeowners and business owners can get retractable fabric awnings that can be deployed at the touch of a button.

We’ve been outfitting local homes and businesses with custom shade solutions since our founding in 1899, when retractable awnings were bulky affairs that shopkeepers operated by hand using a rope-and-pulley system. The experts at Roberts Awnings have kept up with the times, and today we custom manufacture and install beautiful retractable awnings using high-quality outdoor fabrics from leading manufacturers in the industry.
Benefits of Retractable Awnings
Opting for a retractable patio awning will allow you to choose from a practically limitless selection of colors and patterns, which means you’ll be able to customize your awning to suit your tastes and flatter your home or workplace exterior. Retractable awnings can also:
- Protect outdoor seating areas or pool decks from intense solar heat and drizzling rain when needed but provide an ample view of the sky when the weather is fine
- Help cut cooling costs in the summer when they’re extended over windows, then reduce heating costs in the winter when they’re retracted to let the sun warm indoor spaces
- Be pulled in to protect your awning investment when strong winds and stormy weather threaten the Prince George area
