More Time Outside, Less Time Battling the Sun

If your deck or patio sits empty during the hottest parts of the day, you're not alone. Most homeowners in Colorado Springs lose hours of outdoor time simply because the sun makes it unbearable. Colorado's sun is intense, and that heat doesn’t stop at your back door. When sunlight streams through patio doors and windows, it raises indoor temperatures and puts extra load on your air conditioning.

A retractable awning addresses both sides of that problem at once. At Around The House Home Solutions, we install custom Sunesta retractable awnings that provide shade when you need it, without permanently altering the look or feel of your home. When extended, it dims your exterior and reduces heat gain inside. When you want full sun, it retracts in seconds, giving you the flexibility to enjoy your space on your terms.

Retractable Awning in Colorado Springs (With Drop Shade!)

Practical Benefits That Go Beyond Shade

There are several ways a well-designed awning improves your home beyond just keeping you cool. Here’s what homeowners consistently notice after installation:

  • Outdoor settings become usable throughout the day, not just in the morning or evening.

  • Patio furniture, flooring, and interior finishes last longer with reduced UV exposure.

  • Views stay open when the awning is retracted, unlike permanent shade structures.

  • Interior temperatures stay steadier without relying on blinds or curtains.

  • The system blends into a variety of home styles thanks to Sunesta's compact frame.

With hundreds of fabric colors and patterns to choose from, your awning can feel like a natural extension of your home rather than an afterthought.

Sunesta Retractable Awning Models

Sunesta offers several models to fit different homes and budgets. Whether you're working with a small balcony or a sprawling back patio, there's a system for your situation.

The Sunstyle

The Sunstyle is the ultimate all-rounder, engineered for versatility without the bulk. It’s the perfect solution for tricky layouts, spanning up to 40 feet while maintaining a low-profile design that won’t interfere with window frames or door headers.

For those who want to preserve their investment, the available Smartcase adds an extra layer of protection, tucking the fabric into a sleek housing that blocks out the elements and keeps the material looking brand new.

The Sunesta

When "standard" isn’t enough, the Sunesta steps in to claim your largest outdoor areas. Boasting a massive 14'8" projection, this model creates a sprawling, open-air sanctuary without a single pillar or post to trip over.

Because the space remains entirely unobstructed, you have total control to arrange your lounge sets and dining tables how you like, all while maintaining a panoramic view of your backyard.

The Sunlight

The Sunlight proves that a massive footprint isn't a requirement for premium comfort. Created specifically for intimate environments like balconies or cozy side decks, this model provides up to 10 feet of shade where you need it most.

While it stands as our most budget-friendly entry point, it refuses to compromise on quality. You get the same elite hardware and custom fabric choices found in our flagship models, only scaled to fit your specific nook.

Define Your Outdoors.

How This System Stands Apart

Not every retractable awning is designed to last for years of daily use. Sunesta systems are crafted with durability and performance in mind, and the warranty reflects that confidence. Here’s what comes standard with every system:

Heavy-Duty Construction

A robust frame and arm system keeps the awning stable and secure in Colorado's unpredictable weather.

UV-Resistant Fabric

Purpose-built materials retain their color season after season, even under intense sunlight

Custom Sizing

Every awning is built to your exact dimensions, not adapted from a stock size, so the coverage is always accurate.

Lifetime Frame and Arm Warranty

Coverage that transfers to a new owner if you ever sell, making it a long-term investment in your home's value.

Some sun angles are harder to block than others, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. For situations like that, select Sunesta models can be paired with a drop shade along the front edge. It adds vertical coverage while still allowing air to flow through.

Motorized or Manual: Choosing the Right Operation

When it comes to operating your awning, there's no wrong answer between motorized and manual. It really just depends on how you live.

Motorized awnings are operated by a remote, so extending or retracting is as easy as pressing a button. If you're constantly moving in and out, hosting friends on the weekend, or want the freedom to adjust your shade without thinking twice, motorized is probably your speed. It's the option most of our customers land on, and once you've used it, it's hard to go back.

Manual awnings use a hand crank and are a solid choice for coverage that doesn’t require constant adjustment. They're straightforward, reliable, and get the job done without any electrical components involved. For some homeowners, that simplicity is what they're after.

Why Choose Around the House Home Solutions?

Being locally rooted and family-owned is not just a talking point for us. It shapes everything, from how we work to how we treat every home we walk into. There's no revolving door of sales reps or rotating crews. You work with people who know Colorado Springs, understand how these systems function in this climate, and have a real stake in making sure you're happy with the outcome.

We also believe the process should feel as good as the finished product. That means giving you honest recommendations instead of upselling you on things you don't need, answering questions directly, and making sure everything looks and works the way it should before we consider the job complete.

And when the installation is behind us, we don't disappear. You can still reach our specialists if something ever needs attention. For many homeowners, that accessibility is what tips the scales. It’s a huge relief knowing you don’t have to hunt for a stranger if you need help. The team that knows your home best is still just a phone call away.

I highly recommend this company for awnings. It has the best customer service of anyone I have ever used. Jack has responded quickly to my inquiries even after installation. I had a small malfunction a year after installation and it was repaired quickly and with no extra charge. I love my awning and love that I can use my deck all summer long.

Had a great experience with Around the House using them to purchase and install a Sunesta awning. Jack was great to deal with. Had clear explanations, no hard sell, even got a senior discount. The installers Todd and Ethan were friendly and professional. Made sure I understood how to work everything before they left. Great communication throughout!

Your installers Leon and Todd did a great job installing our new retractable awning. They thoroughly explained the operation and made several adjustments until the pitch of the awning was in the perfect position. They were also very courteous and took the time to answer all of our questions. They are both an excellent representation of your company.
