Boise summers bring long, hot days with temperatures regularly exceeding 95°F from June through September. For homeowners with south- or west-facing patios, that afternoon sun can make outdoor living unbearable — and drive up cooling costs as heat radiates through sliding glass doors and windows. SunPro retractable awnings solve both problems at once, giving you shade when you need it and an unobstructed sky when you don't.
As Boise's authorized SunPro dealer, Boise Blinds has installed retractable awnings across the Treasure Valley — from the North End and the Bench to Southeast Boise and the Boise Foothills. Every installation is custom-measured, professionally mounted, and backed by SunPro's industry-leading 10-year non-prorated, transferrable warranty.
What Makes SunPro Different From Other Retractable Awnings?
SunPro retractable awnings are engineered for performance, not just appearance. They include Dooya and Somfy motor options (both with wireless remote control, Somfy adds voice control through Alexa and Google Home), built-in dimmable LED lights in the arms at no extra cost, Sunbrella fabric with 30 in-stock colors plus 300+ custom options, an anti-corrosion aluminum cassette housing in four frame colors, and EZ-Pitch adjustment to follow the sun angle throughout the day without tools.
Sizing Options for Boise Homes
SunPro awnings are available in a wide range of sizes. Standard retractable awnings span 9'6" to 40' wide with 8', 10', or 12' projection depths — covering everything from a small back porch to a full-width patio. Crossarm awnings range from 8' to 13'5" wide, ideal for smaller windows, side entrances, or narrow balconies. During your free consultation, we'll measure your space and recommend the right size based on your patio dimensions and sun exposure.
Smart Home Integration for Boise Homeowners
Both motor options support wireless remote control out of the box. The Somfy motor upgrade adds full smart home integration: voice control ('Alexa, extend the patio awning'), app control from your phone, optional sun sensors for automatic extension when UV levels rise, wind sensors for automatic retraction in high winds, and a manual hand crank backup for power outages. Many Boise homeowners pair their SunPro awning with MagnaTrack exterior shades on the same patio for complete sun control from every angle.
Front Bar Accessories
- •Drop Screens — A retractable screen that drops from the front bar to block low-angle sun or add privacy, perfect for west-facing Boise patios
- •Wind Poles — Stabilize the front bar in breezy conditions, allowing extended use in moderate wind
- •Wind Sensors — Automatically retract the awning when wind speeds exceed a safe threshold, protecting your investment when you're not home
The 10-Year Non-Prorated Warranty
SunPro's warranty is the best in the retractable awning industry — 10 years, non-prorated, and transferrable. If something fails in year 8, you get the same coverage as year 1. If you sell your Boise home, the warranty transfers to the new owner, adding value to your property. The warranty covers hardware, fabric, and motor — the three components that matter most.
