Thompson Awning did a great job on my new awning. They were very polite, through, and expedite. My new awning is installed and it looks great! And Thompson was less expensive than others.

Started off great they came and did the awning. After the the first rain it leaked bad. They came back out and determined the material wasnt coated with the waterproof coating. How? They came back out and coated it several weeks after we made the complaint. Thought it had fixed it but after another rain it leaked again. We have sent emails and spoke with the owner and he said he would be sending someone out to fix the issue and we have not seen them. I would hold final payment until after the first good rain to see if the awning leaks.

If looking for retractable screens, stay away from a company that deals with Sunesta. Also go with a company that does screens only unless you have months to wait on completion and have months to wait on any warranty work that shouldn't have happened within 6 months!!! Not happy with this company- dealer blames factory, factory blames dealer-who do you believe???
