Markham’s Modern Homes Deserve a Smarter Way to Control the Sun
Markham is one of the most tech-forward cities in Canada, and its homeowners expect their spaces to work intelligently. The beautifully designed homes in Unionville, Angus Glen, and Cornell come with large rear windows, open-concept layouts, and generous patio or deck footprints. But all that glass and southern exposure creates a serious problem: interior temperatures spike by early afternoon, and outdoor spaces become too hot to enjoy by mid-July. A ceiling fan isn’t a solution. A patio umbrella keeps tipping over. Markham homeowners want something that actually works and looks the part.
A motorized retractable awning is the smart home upgrade your Markham patio has been missing. Control it from your phone, set wind sensors to auto-retract in a storm, and integrate it with your existing home automation system. It’s a proper engineering solution for a properly engineered home. And it installs in a single day.
Above All Awnings has been serving Markham homeowners since 1995, from heritage properties in Old Unionville to the newer builds in Cornell, Berczy Village, Box Grove, and Wismer Commons. We bring the same precision to every installation: on-site measurement, custom-built awnings, and a crew that treats your home with respect.

Types of Retractable Awnings We Install in Markham
Whether you want push-button convenience or a simple hand crank, we have a retractable awning that fits your patio and budget.
Open Roll Awnings
The industry standard for high-quality shade protection. Our Adalia Open Roll awnings are manufactured locally in Vaughan, ON and built from extruded, thermally treated aluminum that’s immune to corrosion. Available with or without a heavy-duty hood cover, these awnings are vastly customizable to fit your exact space.
Starting at $3,500 installed.
Manual Retractable Awnings
A reliable, cost-effective choice that uses a simple hand crank to extend and retract. Manual awnings use the same premium frames and Sunbrella® fabrics as our motorized models—without the motor cost. Perfect for smaller patios and decks.
Starting at $3,500 installed.
Motorized Retractable Awnings
Extend or retract your awning at the touch of a button. Motorized models use whisper-quiet Somfy motors and can include built-in wind and sun sensors for fully automatic operation—your awning protects itself even when you’re not home.
Starting at $4,500 installed.
Cassette Awnings
The ultimate in retractable awning technology. Cassette models feature a fully enclosed aluminum housing that protects the fabric, arms, and motor when retracted. Ideal for homes that want maximum durability and a clean, sleek appearance on the exterior.
Starting at $5,500 installed.

4 years after installation, staff responded to emails and calls quickly and fixed the problem right away. Special shout to Al and Tony for always coming over with smiles. The owner Jamie responded quickly and professionally. Definitely recommend
After years of failed gazebos and umbrellas due to high winds, I decided to look into a retractable awning. Jamie answered all of my questions in great detail. The installation was done so quickly and smoothly. I was so happy with how it looked, the ease of use, and most importantly the shade.
Super pleased with our new awning. The entire experience with Above All Awnings was great from our first consultation with Jamie to the installation with Alistair and Tony. Jamie is fantastic — really amazing to deal with. He helped us with choosing our awning and was very patient. Alistair and Tony were exceptional.

Why a Retractable Awning Is the Best Shade Solution for Markham
Markham summers bring long stretches of heat and intense afternoon sun, especially in south-facing backyards across neighbourhoods like Angus Glen, Cornell, and Wismer Commons. Heritage Unionville sees reflected heat from brick and pavement, while newer subdivisions in Box Grove and Cathedraltown offer open yards with minimal natural shading, making a retractable awning essential for on-demand shade without permanently altering your home’s exterior.
Unlike fixed awnings or pergolas, which require a City of Markham building permit, engineered footings, and typically $15,000 to $30,000 in construction costs, a retractable awning installs in a day with no permit needed. Hosting a BBQ in the afternoon? Extend full shade. Want evening sun? Retract it completely. For tech-forward Markham homeowners who want control, it’s an easy choice.
Our retractable awnings feature powder-coated aluminum STOBAG and Rolltec frames engineered to handle wind loads well above Ontario’s typical summer storm gusts, with no wobbling or frame flex. Sunbrella and Sattler solution-dyed acrylic fabrics maintain their colour for 10+ years, with pigment locked into each fibre at the molecular level so they won’t fade, blister, or develop mold even through Markham’s hot, humid summers.
For Markham homeowners who have invested substantially in rear patios, stone landscaping, and outdoor amenities, the practical benefits add up quickly. Indoor rooms stay cooler, patio furniture lasts longer, and motorized options integrate cleanly with Google Home or Apple HomeKit. Your family actually uses the outdoor space you invested in.
