Avoid A Price Hike: Order Your SunSetter Awning Now Order Now, Install In The Spring, And SAVE MONEY Not a big surprise: Prices tend to go up, on all kinds of products and services, around the first of the year. SunSetter retractable awnings are no exception. Of course, there are some sound reasons for this. For one thing, customers aren’t generally thinking about retractable awning installations around the end of the year… it’s a property improvement (and lifestyle enhancement) most people associate with the warmer months. This time of year, we’re all thinking about the holidays, and the weather has us enjoying our indoor living space more than the patio or deck that gets extensive use in the [...]

Run Up The Score With Protected Outdoor Dining Space Now’s The Time To Expand Your Restaurant’s Seating If you own or operate a restaurant, sports bar, or tavern/grill in the Denver metro area, you know all about it: Football season is prime profit season! If you’re not maximizing your floor space, your seating area, and your overall capacity to serve customers during this time of the year, you’re probably missing out on a sizeable chunk of revenue.  And once the football season has passed, so has the opportunity to make that money, at least for this year. That’s why your neighbors (including many of your fiercest competitors) are making the smart move of expanding outside, creating comfortable outdoor [...]

LED Awning Lights Can Extend Your Outdoor Fun Best Awning Company Can Help Light Up Your Evenings Summer is waving goodbye to us here in the Rocky Mountain west… and autumn is on our doorstep. As the days grow shorter, and the nights get cooler, there’s a temptation to move the party inside at times.  Folks may not get as much use out of their outdoor living space as they did a month or two ago… and it’s often with some regret that we bid farewell to those lovely summer evenings out on the deck. But that warm-weather enjoyment doesn’t have to come to an abrupt halt! Many of your neighbors here along the Front Range [...]

Forty Years! Time Flies When You’re Having SUN …Best Awning Company Has Been Covering Colorado Since 1979 Sometimes I have to shake my head in mild amazement when I realize it’s been four decades since Best Awning Company was founded. January 1, 1979, we embarked on our mission to provide our customers with the very “best” solutions for their home and business exteriors, starting by founding Conifer Gutter Service to provide expert gutter and downspout service throughout the west metro and Front Range areas. We’ve truly “grown up” with the home exterior industry.  These days, Best Awning Company is a separate, second firm.  We’re still known for high-quality work by both firms, and thanks to our cherished customers, [...]

Keep Your Cool This Summer … And Save Energy With A Retractable Awning Or Sun Shade Summer has arrived… and with it, all the fun outdoor activities that make Colorado such a wonderful place to live and work. Swimming… picnics by the backyard pool… cookouts on the back deck… and, for restaurants, a return to outdoor dining (and the extra revenue you gain by opening additional seating on your patio or deck). The heat is on! And, of course, so is your air conditioner. It’s not uncommon for a homeowner or business manager to set the indoor comfort system for their property to automatically maintain an acceptable level of coolness during Colorado’s hot summer months. As a result, [...]

Restaurants: Now’s The Time To Plan For Fall Profits A Great Awning-Covered Outdoor Space Is A Money Maker Nothing beats dining in the great Colorado outdoors. So why don’t more restaurants offer outdoor dining to their customers? Many do – and the restaurants that do outdoor dining right make a lot of money with it. Some restaurants make an effort at opening up a dining patio, but don’t really think it through… they toss some high-top tables and cheap umbrellas out there, and soon find customers complaining when a Colorado wind storm or rain cloud passes by. Before long, they’re right back to keeping a waiting list for customers who overflow their limited indoor seating. Still others don’t [...]

Springtime In Colorado: In Like A Lion Today’s Best Awnings Can Protect Themselves From The Wind Let’s shoot the breeze about a subject that gets a surprising amount of “air” time here in the Rocky Mountain West. I’m referring, of course, to the wind. According to The Denver Post, it’s not unusual for the Colorado Front Range region (including the Denver area, and particularly the western suburbs) to experience winds of 100 miles per hour (or more) at times during the stormy seasons. Citing information from the Colorado State University Climate Center, the Post notes that, while often presented in the form of brief gusts, strong (and even severe) “down slope winds” are common when air [...]

Do Retractable Awnings Work? You bet they do! But you need a good product, professionally installed. A good retractable awning is designed to operate reliably to enhance the comfort and beauty of your outdoor space, whether at home, your office “break area,” or your restaurant’s outdoor dining space.  Some of the best recent designs include weather-sensing technology which can close the awning during damaging wind storms, even if you’re away from home. And with the variety of awning products available today, you can have everything from a standard retractable deck awning, to a simple sun shade, to a retractable pergola cover, to a fully-enclosed outdoor “room.”  Awnings also form an excellent investment. They add value to the property [...]
