Frequently Asked Questions

The cost varies depending on the size and the fabric brand (like Sunbrella or Sattler). Generally, replacing the fabric is 40-60% cheaper than installing a brand-new awning system because you are reusing your existing high-quality frame.

While possible, we don’t recommend it. Retractable awnings are under high spring tension. Professional installation ensures the fabric is perfectly centered and tensioned to prevent sagging, water pooling, and mechanical damage.

With our premium 100% solution-dyed acrylics, you can expect your new fabric to look vibrant for 10 to 15 years. We also provide a 5-year limited warranty for peace of mind.

Most retractable and stationary frames from major brands can be recovered. During our initial consultation, we inspect your hardware to ensure it’s structurally sound before proceeding.

To keep it looking new, simply hose it off with water once a month. For deeper cleans, use a mild soap (like Dawn) and a soft brush. Always allow the fabric to air dry completely before retracting.
In many cases, only the fabric needs to be replaced. If your awning frame and hardware are still structurally sound and operating smoothly, a fabric replacement is a cost-effective way to refresh the look and extend the life of your awning. During our inspection, we’ll assess the frame, arms, and motor (if applicable) to confirm whether a recover is the right solution.

I love my new awning which I had installed just prior to our hot weather . It is attractive, well constructed and provides the shade I need for my west facing patio door and deck. My house is cooler when it’s been hot and I now can sit out on my deck which I could not before. Vitek was very professional and pleasant. I wish I had bought this awning sooner and highly recommend this company and Vitek to anyone needing an awning.

We had three large awnings placed 14 years ago by Vitek. They are still looking great. Over the years we have had two minor problems that Vitek has solved immediately. I would highly recommend Vitek to anyone. He is very professional, highly skilled and easy to work with. Ron Warner

We purchased our awning many years ago and it is still working perfect. Recently had an issue, likely caused by me, that the owner stayed on the phone with me for 40 minutes giving me various workarounds. We finally got nit going and saved me an on site visit. He is so helpful.

We highly recommend Arpella Awnings. My dad had awnings installed (by Arpella Awnings) at his cabin 25years ago and they are still holding up with no issues. My husband and I decided to have an awnings installed at our house 13 years ago. This past summer we discovered our awning needed the fabric replaced. We contacted Viteck, the company owner, and from start to finish we had new awnings up in 4 days. Viteck is professional, friendly, knowledgeable with old school customer service. Beautiful, high quality awnings.

We discovered our awning needed a fabric replacement just at the beginning of the summer heat. Start to finish was less than 4 days. We are so grateful for the fast and professional service! Excellent product and customers service.
