How to update old aluminum awnings.

I d leave them as is i think they will grow on you. It might end up peeling off which would be worse. I think those awnings are aluminum. I ve recently had some repairs and refurbishments completed on my aluminum sided home after a tree fell on my property.

Aluminum awnings are maintenance free and are guaranteed to not chip fade crack peel or blister. However when we started to prep that side of the house for painting and we removed the awnings every little sprinkle hit the windows and there was no keeping them open. Awnings are often made out of a metal including aluminum. Then after all that if the awnings still look off i would experiment with adding a exterior grade clear protective finish on top of the existing paint.

The awnings offer wonderful protection from the rain on the windows as well. Luckily there was no major structural damage but the repairs included minor roof work new siding on the front of the house and replacement of the storm door and an awning over the front porch that got crushed. They are also sometimes used to provide cover for decks. If you want to remove the ones in the front see about taking them to a metal recycling place you might be pleasantly surprised at what you will get for them.

I don t know how well paint would stick to them. Awnings are generally used to provide protection over windows and outside doors. Because they are outside and exposed to the weather awnings will occasionally have to be repainted. Give us a call for your free quote today.
