Serving Calgary and Southern Alberta, MountainView Outdoor Living provides different types of awnings to give Albertan homes great outdoor living space. We were glad to have found this company because it offers many residential and commercial property choices.

If you’re building a new home or planning to renovate, we appreciate that they can work directly with your builder. Since the awning can be a part of the building process, this will result in a cleaner look for your outdoor area.

As for their choices, you’ll be glad to know they offer fixed and retractable awnings. In addition, they have aluminium pergolas, retractable screens, and security shutters, giving you options for what you need for your home.

It’s worth mentioning they have a manufacturer’s warranty for all their products. Aside from that, they offer a 2-year installation warranty for all product installations.

According to our surveys, MountainView Outdoor Living provided excellent customer service. The team was accommodating and communicated well with their clients regarding the schedule.

To add, the team was approachable when interacting with past clients. They also showed professionalism when it came to the installation process.

On the downside, we would like a price list readily available online for convenience. Adding this will benefit potential clients browsing through different awning services.

We also heard instances of difficulty when ordering accessories. If you need these, it might be better to order them along with the awning so they can be delivered to you at once.

Lastly, if you need financing options, you’ll be happy MountainView offers payment plans through Financeit. Also, you can check their social media pages for available discounts if you plan to save on a budget.

The Awning Factory has over 40 years of experience in the industry. It is a family-owned business that provides quality workmanship for Calgarians.

We’re glad to have come across this company because they won the Best of Houzz Award in Service from 2017 to 2021. Aside from that, they are accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) with an A+ rating.

We’re happy to inform you that they have many types of awnings that will be perfect for your home. They offer motorized and fixed awnings, each carefully selected and tested to provide their clients with the best quality.

Furthermore, they offer fabric awnings from the brand Sunbrella, famously known for mold and mildew-resistant materials.

What’s great about this is the fabrics have a 10-year warranty. We like that this ensures you will be able to change it when it starts to fade or rot due to the ever-changing Calgary weather.

Additionally, their products have a manufacturer’s warranty available. They also offer a 10-year warranty on workmanship to ease your mind.

Another thing worth noting is that they have a helpful staff that provides good customer service to clients. Their products’ quality has also been highly praised for being sturdy and aesthetically pleasing while being reasonably priced.

But a drawback we found is their showroom is only available by appointment in November, December, and January. Their Saturdays are also open only from April to August. 

Finally, we would like to see prices for practicality. We believe this will significantly improve the client’s experience when canvassing for awning services.

A family-owned company, Awnings and More has a wide variety of awnings for different kinds of weather. They service residential and commercial properties in Calgary and its surrounding areas.

It’s good to know that BBB accredits them with a rating of A+. On top of that, they are certified by RenovationFind, which means they are continuously monitored and able to maintain a high level of workmanship and customer service standards.

We appreciate that they ensure clients are kept in the loop throughout the process, from consultation to installation. They will also do a 1-hour onsite presentation to ensure all questions you might have are answered.

Furthermore, they will do a follow-up visit for any adjustments needed. We appreciate this added service since not many companies from the same industry provide follow-ups.

According to clients we surveyed, their team showed excellent customer service and provided recommendations based on budget. In addition, we like how they went above and beyond with aftersales, even doing a follow-up one year after the installation.

We think it’s worth highlighting that besides your typical awning systems, they also have Soft Integrated Retaining System (SIR system). What’s great about this is it can withstand powerful winds of up to 75 mph.

Now, while everything is fine and dandy, we hope they can provide estimated pricing for their products in the future. We would also like to see warranty details for workmanship and products to give clients peace of mind.

Alberta Tent & Awning has provided services to residential, commercial, and industrial properties for over 75 years. Aside from awnings, they also offer covers for RVs, ATVs, boats, and outdoor furniture, among others.

It’s worth mentioning that this company supports the community through a partnership with artisans. Their products are locally handcrafted using traditional techniques.

As for their awnings, they make fixed and retractable ones. They offer many designs at different prices to provide options based on your budget.

They also make coverings for terraces or decks if you want more privacy. Also, we appreciate that this option has a robust structure that can withstand strong winds.

Moreover, their products are known to have exceptional craftsmanship, as praised by past clients. The materials were also considered superior quality, ensuring you get the value for your money.

However, we would like the estimated pricing readily available, even though they have been noted to provide reasonable prices. Currently, you need to get a quote through an online form.

To add, they don’t have warranty information available online. We were disappointed about this since we expected this to be readily available since Alberta Tent & Awning makes many different types of products.

But on a positive note, you can come to them if you need custom-made products. You can choose the colour and design you want to match your home perfectly. 

First established in 1928, Calgary Tent & Awning Ltd. started with a small team. With over 90 years in the business, they have expanded and exported their products worldwide.

Aside from being accredited by the BBB, they also have an affiliation with the Manufacturer’s Health & Safety Association. This means that their technicians are trained in proper health and safety protocols.

What’s great is their awnings are locally made while manufacturers supply all hardware. We also like that their fabrics have contemporary designs in different patterns and colours that can easily match your home.

Furthermore, they offer window awnings to provide shade and more privacy. Finally, we like the option of having fixed or retractable awnings, which can be moved manually or motorized.

Additionally, they promise the installation three to four weeks from the order date. We think this can significantly help you arrange your schedule for your new awning.

As for their customer service, we were told their staff has been helpful and polite. In addition, they were highly knowledgeable with any questions they were asked.

However, we did hear complaints regarding incorrect quotes. For example, a few clients mentioned they were charged more than the initial quote.

Aside from that, they also charge just a tad higher than similar companies. This is why we feel it’s essential to provide estimated rates to prevent miscommunication regarding prices.
