Premium Motorized Retractable Awnings for Homeowners in Springfield, MO, and Nearby Communities

You probably already have a good idea of the difference an awning can make for your outdoor living area. Shielding your porch, patio, or deck from the unrelenting sun can drop the feels-like temperature by 20 degrees or more. It can also reduce glare and protect against falling debris such as branches, leaves, and bird droppings. But did you know awnings can also increase the value of your home, boost its curb appeal, protect patio furniture and decking material from sun damage, and even potentially lower your home’s energy usage? With all these pluses, are there any minuses?

Manual awnings can be a bit of a hassle to raise and lower with a hand crank, but at Modern Exteriors, we don’t think that should be an excuse not to take advantage of all that awnings have to offer. That’s why we proudly offer motorized retractable awnings from Rainier. These premium products are custom-made to perfectly suit your unique needs and come in a vast array of fabric colors and patterns, so you can rest assured your retractable awning will complement your home and provide the ideal amount of shade for you and your family.

How Our Motorized Awnings Work

When the afternoon sun starts beating down on your patio, you shouldn’t have to wrestle with a hand crank just to get some shade. Motorized awnings make adjusting your outdoor space simple. With the push of a button, the awning extends over your patio or deck, giving you shade when you want it. When you’re ready for more sunlight or want to close the awning, the fabric retracts neatly back toward your home.

Modern Exteriors of Springfield installs Rainier motorized awnings, and depending on the options you choose, you can control your awning with a handheld remote or even your smartphone. Optional weather sensors can add another level of convenience by responding to changing conditions.

That easy operation is especially useful during Springfield’s sunny summers, when the amount of shade you want may change throughout the day.

Where Can You Install Motorized Awnings?

Motorized awnings work best in outdoor areas where you want flexible shade without permanently covering the space. If your deck feels great in the morning but becomes too sunny by midafternoon, for example, an awning lets you adapt the area to the weather instead of avoiding it.

Common installation locations include patios, decks, porches, and other outdoor gathering areas attached to the home. Because each Rainier awning offered by Modern Exteriors of Springfield is custom-made, your new shade solution can be planned around your home and the area you want to cover.

The Many Benefits of Our Motorized Awnings

A patio or deck doesn’t do you much good if intense sunshine keeps driving you back indoors. Motorized awnings give you more control over when and how you enjoy your outdoor living space. You can create shade for lunch with the family, an afternoon spent reading outside, or a weekend get-together, then retract the awning when you’d rather enjoy the open sky.

The retractable design also gives you flexibility that a permanent roof can’t provide. You decide when your space is shaded and when it’s open to natural light. Motorized operation makes those adjustments quick, so you won’t have to stop what you’re doing and work a manual crank.

Your awning can also be customized to complement your home. Modern Exteriors of Springfield offers numerous fabric colors and patterns, making it easier to find an option that fits your exterior and creates an outdoor space that feels like part of your home.
