Seasonal care
A spring and fall routine that extends awning life
Pennsylvania’s changing seasons are tough on outdoor structures. Wind, moisture and debris wear down fabric and strain moving parts, so we recommend an inspection in early spring and late fall.
01
Inspect in early spring
Look for mildew, rust and mechanical strain before the season starts, and check that the arms extend smoothly.
02
Clean gently
Use mild soap and water, never bleach or harsh chemicals, and let the fabric dry fully before you retract it.
03
Test the controls
On motorized units, test the remote, sensors and motor. Manual systems should crank without resistance or misalignment.
04
Close out in late fall
Retract the awning before freezing temperatures arrive and clear debris from the housing and joints.
Troubleshooting
What kind of problem is your awning having?
Most awning issues are electrical, motor-related or cosmetic. Knowing which one helps you decide whether to call us.
01
Electrical
The cause may be a blown fuse or a short, and it may not start in the awning at all. If a new fuse does not solve it, a professional may be needed to find the cause.
02
Motor
Minor motor issues can be repaired, while major ones may need a replacement. Motor problems more often need a professional look.
03
Fabric and cosmetic
Small flaws can often be patched yourself. Large rips or tears, or an awning carrying several patches, are usually better served by replacement fabric.
Repairs
Replacement fabric and arms, handled for you
Sunesta offers replacement fabrics that match your taste, so a worn or torn awning can look new again. Awnings are large and the fabric can bunch, so replacing it is a job that takes care and more than one pair of hands.
Replacing an awning arm is more technical still, and it can be difficult and time-consuming. If you notice fading, bunching or mechanical resistance, call us. We will assess whether a repair, a part replacement or full refacing is the right answer.
Cleaning

- Keeps the fabric bright and the structure sound
- Clears the dirt, dust and pollutants that cause gradual wear

- Helps your awning last longer before it needs replacing
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
What are the most common signs my awning needs repair?
Fading fabric, tears, rusted hardware, uneven retraction and motor failure. If your awning struggles to open or close smoothly, or water pools on the canopy, call the office at 610-287-1623.
Can you repair both manual and motorized awnings?
Yes. We work on manual awnings and on motorized units with remotes and sensors, whether the issue is mechanical or electrical.
How often should I schedule awning maintenance?
Twice a year: once in early spring and again in late fall. Routine care includes fabric cleaning, hardware inspection and lubrication of moving parts.
Is maintenance different for motorized systems?
Yes. Motorized awnings need extra attention to the remote, sensors and wiring. We test every function during a maintenance visit and check that the motor is protected from moisture and debris.
Are repairs covered under warranty?
Many Sunesta components carry manufacturer warranties. Manufacturer warranties apply separately; ask us for the details on your specific model, and we will check coverage during your inspection. Our workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee.
