With over 30+ years of experience
Adjustable shade for Los Angeles patios
Extend the awning when direct sun reaches seating, then retract it when an open patio is preferred. Match manual or motorized operation to the size, frequency of use, and property staff or homeowner needs.
Sized for the wall and the patio
The awning has to be sized for the wall and the area it is expected to cover. Select fabric, frame finish, width, projection, and visible details that fit the building.

Retractable awning questions
How much does a retractable awning cost in Los Angeles?
Two choices shape the price of a Universal Awning retractable awning in Los Angeles: the size, meaning width and projection, and manual or motorized operation, along with any electrical work a motor needs. The fabric, the frame finish and the wall it mounts to count too, and we quote after reviewing photos of the wall and patio. The estimate is free, and what you get back is a fast, detailed proposal with 3D renderings and a cost breakdown. Send those photos through the quote form or call (818) 882-0027, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Our retractable awnings page explains mounting and sizing.

Does a retractable awning in Los Angeles need a permit?
It varies by property and scope. Los Angeles uses neighborhood Community Plans, and some properties also fall within Specific Plans, design overlays, sign districts or historic areas. Universal Awning works out the planning, building, sign and attachment requirements for your address before the retractable awning is ordered.
What is a retractable awning?
A retractable awning is fabric shade that opens out from a wall on a frame of folding arms and rolls back in when you want open sky. Universal Awning installs them on Los Angeles patios, terraces and homes where shade is useful for part of the day, with manual or motorized control.
Should I choose a manual or motorized retractable awning?
A manual hand crank suits a Universal Awning retractable awning when simple operation and little electrical work matter most. Motorized control suits larger units, frequent use, or properties that want easier daily control. The awning size, how often it moves, who runs it and where power is available decide the choice.
Can a retractable awning work on a Los Angeles street-level or upper-terrace patio?
Yes, when the site suits one. A Universal Awning retractable awning extends from the wall over street-level patios and upper terraces, then closes when the patio should be open. Because it is wall mounted, it keeps posts away from tables and doors where a freestanding frame would get in the way. It should not be treated as a permanent roof.
