In 2025, the cost of installing an awning can range significantly based on various factors. For construction professionals, understanding these costs is crucial. Fixed aluminum awnings typically cost $25–$45 per square foot installed, while motorized retractable fabric options can range from $80–$120 per square foot. Custom pergola-style awnings may reach $110–$180 per square foot. These figures are influenced by material costs, labor rates, and local regulations.
