Retractable awnings give you the best of both worlds! Let your patio, deck, or even home through the windows have natural light when you want it. When you don’t, you can simply open your awning and block UV rays, the heat from the sun, and even light rain. Enjoy the outdoors much more with a new awning!
Our CEO, Rick Baker, has two retractable awnings on his own home! With motorization especially, they’re easy to use and worth every penny.
Imagine coming home after a long day’s work. You open an app on your phone and tell it to open your awning at home. By the time you’ve arrived home, you can set down your briefcase or bags, kick off your shoes, grab a cool drink, and head outside. Because you opened your awning in advance, your patio is already cool and shaded. Perfect.
Awnings create shade – this much is true. However there’s so much more to love about having one installed!
Awnings provide:
Awnings make spending time outdoors just more comfortable! If you wish you spent more time outside, an awning could be your solution.
All awnings will help provide shade, reduce heat, and more. But why a retractable awning?
In the winter when it’s cool, letting sunlight come in through windows can help provide additional heat into your home which can reduce your heating bills. With a stationary awning or cover, you don’t have this option. This money-saving feature along with enhanced curb appeal means awnings can add value to your home.
With a retractable awning, when bad weather picks up you can protect it by retracting it. This helps extend its lifespan and reduce any repairs or replacements. While our awnings have been tested in independent laboratories to withstand winds of 50-75mph, we recommend retracting it when wind kicks up. You’re not going to be enjoying your yard when it’s really windy, so protecting your awning – unlike a stationary cover – is simple to do.
Unlike stationary patio covers or awnings, having the flexibility to control coverage is a benefit that you can really appreciate.
Not everyone does, and we’ve still got you covered!
We offer free-standing awnings that also retract. This awning can be placed pool-side, or wherever you need shade the most.
While free-standing awnings lack some of the size options that attached awnings do, otherwise they offer the same great benefits:
No sacrifices are made by choosing a free-standing awning over an attached awning, other than the ability to block heat and sun from entering your home. However, when it comes to making time outdoors more enjoyable, they’re perfect.
Hopefully we’ve already given you plenty of reasons to understand why Southern California residents choose retractable awnings for their homes!
To make things even better, just know that we have some very popular accessories you can add on to make your life even easier, or extend your outdoor enjoyment well into the evening.
Yes, we do! As authorized SunSetter dealers, we are able to install your awning to SunSetter’s exact specifications. Unlike general contractors, our awning installation team works on awnings every single day. They know the ins-and-outs of our awnings and will be able to easily identify the ideal mounting location on your home, advise you of any concerns they may have, troubleshoot any issues, and more.
They also program your motorized awning for you, and then teach you how to use the remote! Other companies charge to do this, but we believe it’s just good customer service.
If anything ever goes wrong, just give us a call, and we’ll take it from there.

"Great experience end to end with Galaxy. From the initial consult to the end product, communication was clear and everyone I interacted with was lovely. Highly recommended this company!"
"From scheduling our appointment to meeting with our designer, Bernadette, and the installer, Alfredo, we were met with professionalism and comforted in knowing we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing. Arrival times were well within the two-hour window. Bernadette shared her knowledge and expertise to help us choose the window treatments that best fit our needs and budget. We are so pleased with the final result and look forward to covering the rest of the window in our home."
"It was such an easy process from start to finish. I gave my vision and they gave me a few options to choose from. Easy to schedule. John our installer was so pleasant. Install was quick and easy. Motorized shades are my new favorite thing. Will definitely use Galaxy Draperies again."
"My wife and I recently moved and were in the market for new shades for our bathroom , living room and kitchen . We didn't really have a set vision so it was unbelievable when our designer Karen went through all the possibilities and showed us what would work well with the setup . Karen was not only very professional , she was personable and super knowledgeable about the products. I wish I could have her design the rest of our house ! Great product , great designer, great experience!"
"I had a great experience with Galaxy. The designer presented me with several options and was very helpful in designing my window treatments. The installers were very professional, courteous, and careful! I will definitely use them in the future!"
"I would like to say that Galaxy Draperies was the best choice we've made. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to thank Bernadette for the amazing service she provided. I was referred to her by my sister, which also happened to purchase through you guys. Not only did Bernadette make me feel comfortable but it felt like I was working with family."
"Ordered Roman Shades for five windows. Designer who came to our home was nice and professional, Roman Shades arrived on time, the installation was handled by their installer who called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment, which was great. He was friendly, professional and did a great job! Highly recommend this company."
"Galaxy Draperies was very professional, timely and responsive to the issue we had with one of the new shades. From their design team to the installation, everyone was very nice, informative and helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing new window coverings."
"I just used Galaxy Draperies. I had a very heavy window covering which was mostly impossible to use. We looked at options and Galaxy Draperies suggested we use a motorized window covering. The material is beautiful and it's made so well. You can't see through from outside in yet you can see outside from inside the house. It works so quietly and solved all my problems. The wonderful lady who came to our house was great and always returned calls and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend them."
"Everything about the experience was terrific - from the sales person, the measure to the installer. They made it easy, gave me several price points and advised me throughout the process. I love my blinds!"
