What does “recovering” an awning mean?

Recovering means replacing or restoring the fabric (canopy) of your existing awning while retaining the existing frame, saving cost versus a full replacement.

Do you clean awnings and shade fabrics?

Yes — we clean awnings, outdoor fabrics, and shade systems using gentle, fabric-safe solutions that remove dirt, mildew, and stains without damaging the material.

How often should I have my awning cleaned?

It’s recommended to clean your awning at least once a year. If exposed to heavy debris, pollen, or muddy conditions, you might benefit from semi-annual cleaning.

Can recovering extend the life of my awning?

Yes — recovering can breathe new life into your awning by replacing worn or faded fabric, improving its look and performance without replacing the entire system.

Is recovering cost-effective compared to full replacement?

Typically yes — recovering is more affordable since you're only replacing the fabric, not the frame, hardware, or installation labor.

Do you offer warranties or guarantees on recovered fabrics?

Yes — we offer warranties on the recovered fabric and workmanship. Exact terms depend on the fabric type and project scope, and will be outlined in your quote.

Will cleaning or recovering disrupt my outdoor space?

We aim to minimize disruption. Typically, we schedule the work at a convenient time and only require minimal access around the awning area for safe and efficient service.

High-Quality Retractable Awning Recovers & Cleaning in Denver CO

Recovers & Cleaning

Retractable awning frames and systems have functioned dependably for many years. Still, the attached fabrics wear with age, weather conditions, mildew, UV exposure, and sometimes mistreatment.

The pros at Mile High Shade also understand that home or business ownership and style preferences change, so whether your awning is worn, due for an upgrade, or you want a color, pattern, or style change, you can count on us for expert awning recovery. We can recover any functional retractable awning with new fabric quickly and affordably.

Our cleaning removes soil, mildew, bird droppings, and discoloration due to pollution, even when deeply embedded in the fabric. When we finish, your awning cover’s appearance will be revitalized and more closely resemble its original condition. When it’s all cleaned up, we apply a protective sealing treatment to extend the life of your awning fabric.

Braid & Valance Style Options

The valance is a piece of fabric attached to the front of the awning, which provides extra protection against the sun. It slides into a track on the front bar and usually measures 8 inches in length. Depending on the model you choose, various valance cut styles are available.
