Retractable awning prices online are all over the map, and most “from” prices leave out the parts a Florida installation actually needs: a motor, a wind sensor and a hood.

Three typical Florida budgets

  • Sheltered back patio, manual: a SunScape starting at $3,064.
  • Typical Florida patio, motorized with a wind sensor: a Shademaker Zeus from $4,322 plus a $308 wind sensor, or a Sunflexx from $3,473 plus motor and the Wind & Rain Package.
  • Restaurant or resort frontage: a Shademaker Hercules from $9,477 per unit, often with LEDs, linked across the patio.

What drives the price

  • Width and projection: the biggest factor. Projection (how far it reaches out) raises price faster than width.
  • Housing: open-roll < semi-cassette/hood < full cassette.
  • Motor and controls: remote, wall switch, smart-home integration, grouped controls for commercial jobs.
  • Fabric: Sunbrella® and solution-dyed acrylic options; specialty colors can move the price.
  • Mounting: wall mount is standard; roof or soffit brackets cost more.

Installation cost

Installation is quoted separately because it depends on your wall (block, stucco over block, wood frame), mounting height, whether power is already at the wall, and your local permit requirements. See the Florida installation guide, then install it yourself, use your own contractor, or use an authorized dealer.
