We worked with Jimmy from West Coast Awnings and would highly recommend him and this company for awnings. He was friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. The production was on time and the installation came out great. We went with a decorative black metal awning to coordinate with our black metal roof. Thank you again for a great experience!

Our experience with West Coast Awnings of Clearwater was excellent. From our salesman, Jimmy, who made 2 housecalls, to the engineer who came and scoped out the job, and finally the installation team, Damien and Ken, everyone was friendly, professional and efficient. Damien explained how to work the awning and answered all my questions. I highly recommend West Coast Awnings of Clearwater!

Robert & Zach recently installed a retractable awning in our backyard. They did a great job. They got the job done in just a couple hours; they were super nice and accommodating; and they cleaned everything up before they left. We also got lots of good tips for efficient use and care of the awning. Great job, guys!

Very happy with the awning installation on our balcony. We thought it could not be done because a gutter was in the way, but Zach and Roberto made it happen. Thanks to Jimmy, too, who delivered earlier than expected. Great service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an awning cost in Tampa?

Awning costs in Tampa vary based on size, material, and whether the system is fixed or retractable. Most custom awning projects in the Tampa Bay area start in the low thousands and increase depending on design complexity. We provide free estimates to help homeowners in Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg understand exact pricing for their project.

Many awning systems are designed to handle Florida weather, but retractable models should typically be retracted during severe storms or hurricanes. For added protection, we also install hurricane shutters across Pinellas County, Tampa, and the surrounding areas. Our team can recommend the best solution based on your property’s exposure.

Installation timelines depend on the type of system and customization required. In most cases, projects in Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Petersburg are completed within one to two days after fabrication. Larger or more complex systems may require additional lead time.

Fixed awnings provide permanent shade and continuous protection, while retractable awnings allow you to extend or retract coverage as needed. Homeowners in Tampa Bay often choose retractable systems for flexibility and fixed systems for maximum durability. Both options are custom-built to fit your space and needs.
