Residential awnings — custom shade for your home
Create a more comfortable outdoor space with a custom awning designed for your home — shade, curb appeal, and sun protection for patios, decks, porches, and windows.
Cooler home, lower bills
Energy-efficient shade that can help lower cooling costs
By blocking direct sunlight before it reaches your windows, doors, patio, or deck, an awning reduces indoor heat gain and makes your home feel more comfortable during the warmer months.
- Blocks heat before the glass — not after it’s inside
- Shades outdoor living space so it’s usable all afternoon
- Protects furniture, floors, and drapes from UV fading
- Retractable models give you sun when you want it, shade when you don’t

What our customers are saying
Connecticut homeowners on Manchester Awning
- ★★★★★
We absolutely love our new awning. It is going to allow us to enjoy our back deck on sunny days as it isn’t shaded at all until early evening. It looks beautiful and so easy to operate with the remote control. Manchester Awning was a pleasure to deal with. Very professional sales representative who wasn’t pushy at all, excellent installation team and LuAnn at the front desk is not only personable but informative as well. I highly recommend this company.

Five star service from Jeff and Manchester Awning. Jeff offered many suggestions and was mindful of the budget I set… The end result is absolutely perfect.

We purchased an awning from Manchester Awning more than 20 years ago and it is still holding up very well. This month we brought it in for a much overdue cleaning and minor seam repair. They did an excellent job and delivered it to us… and even offered to put it up. Would recommend them very highly. 5+ stars.
- ★★★★★
Excellent communication and follow through. Quickly received a quote and I received a follow up call seeing if I had any questions. Once decision was made and fabric was selected, the install occurred in about two weeks. Great service and responsiveness.

Questions
Residential awning FAQs
What areas of my home can awnings cover?
Awnings can be installed over patios, decks, porches, windows, doors, and other outdoor living spaces to provide shade, comfort, and protection.
Do I get to choose the style?
Yes. We offer different awning styles and solutions to match your home’s layout, look, and outdoor needs — retractable, stationary, and window awnings.
Can I customize fabric and colors?
Yes. You choose from a wide range of fabrics, colors, and finishes — including Sunbrella and other premium solution-dyed acrylics — or, if you would rather have shade that stays up all year with nothing to take down, an aluminum or metal awning — to complement your home.
Do you handle measurement and installation?
Always. We measure your home ourselves, sew canvas awnings to that exact opening in our Manchester shop or size a retractable to it, and install it with our own crew.
