Why Knoxville Homeowners Choose Volunteer Decks for SunPro
SunPro builds some of the most refined motorized shade products on the market, but the install is what makes or breaks the result. As a Knoxville-based deck and outdoor-living contractor, we know exactly how to mount an awning or screen to a real deck, fascia, soffit, or masonry wall so it operates smoothly for years and looks like it was always part of the home.
We handle everything in-house, from the on-site measure to power, motor setup, fabric selection, and final walkthrough. You get one local team that already understands East Tennessee construction, our weather swings, and how to integrate shade with the decks and porches we build every day — so your SunPro investment is dialed in from day one.

Precise on-site measuring and mounting for clean, square, drift-free operation
Motor, remote, and sensor setup configured and tested before we leave
Help choosing the right fabric, color, and mount type for your space
Seamless pairing with new or existing decks, porches, and outdoor kitchens
One accountable contractor for the whole project, not a chain of subs
Screens to Enclose It. Awnings to Shade It.
Screens are what we do most — drop-down enclosures that turn a porch into a bug-free, three-season room. Pair them with retractable awnings for on-demand shade over an open deck, and we install both.
Enclose Your Porch or Lanai
Motorized retractable screens drop down on hidden side tracks to enclose a porch, lanai, or pergola at the push of a button. Choose insect, solar, privacy, or clear weather fabrics to block bugs, sun, wind, and prying eyes — then roll them away when you don't need them.

Shade Over Your Deck or Patio
Motorized retractable awnings extend over your deck or patio for instant shade, then roll away when you want the sun back. Wireless remotes, optional wind and sun sensors, integrated LED lighting, and Sunbrella fabrics in housing colors that match your home.
Explore AwningsTurn Your Covered Porch Into a 3-Season Room
SunPro retractable exterior screens drop down at the touch of a button to enclose your porch, lanai, pergola, or patio, then disappear completely when you want the open air back. Track-guided side rails and sealed bottom bars create a tight, edge-to-edge enclosure that locks bugs, sun, wind, and prying eyes outside.
Choose insect mesh to beat the bugs, solar fabric to cut glare and heat, privacy fabric to shield your space, or clear weather vinyl to push your outdoor season into the cooler months — every screen runs on quiet Somfy or Dooya motors with optional sun and wind sensors.
Beat the Bugs
Fine insect mesh and sealed track guides give you a fully enclosed, no-gap barrier against mosquitoes, gnats, and Tennessee no-see-ums.
Tame the Sun and Heat
Solar and sun-control fabrics block damaging UV and cut glare and radiant heat, protecting furniture and flooring from fading.
Instant Privacy
Privacy fabrics let you screen out neighbors and the street with the press of a button, creating a secluded outdoor retreat in seconds.
Block Wind and Weather
Clear weather vinyl walls hold back wind, rain, and chill, turning a covered porch into a true 3-season room.
Effortless Motorized Control
Quiet Somfy and Dooya motors raise and lower each screen from a wireless remote, with optional sun and wind sensors.
Disappears When You Want It Gone
When the screen retracts, it rolls fully into its housing and out of sight, preserving your view and your home's clean lines.
Choose the Right Screen for Your Opening
Recessed (Hidden) Housing
The roller tube and housing tuck up into the soffit or framing for a clean, built-in look with no visible box — ideal for new builds and porch enclosures where the screen vanishes completely when retracted.
Open-Roller Housing
A surface-mounted roller with an optional curved hood mounts directly to the wall, beam, or column — the fast, flexible choice for retrofitting screens onto an existing porch, lanai, or pergola.
Hurricane-Rated
Reinforced tracks and locking bottom bars stand up to high winds and storm-driven debris, sealing the opening tight when the weather turns — engineered protection that doubles as everyday bug, sun, and privacy screening.
Manual Operation
Prefer no motor? A manual pull-and-lock screen delivers the same track-guided, sealed enclosure with a simple hand-operated bottom bar — a budget-friendly option for smaller openings.
Built to Seal, Engineered to Last
Track-Guided Side Rails
Choose Standard, Recessed, or Self-Adjusting side tracks. The guides hold the screen edge captive for a tight, no-gap seal that keeps bugs and wind out while the screen runs smoothly over its full travel.
Sealed Bottom Bars
Heavy-duty extruded aluminum bottom bars carry the fabric down evenly and seal against the sill with brush and weather seals, available in multiple colors to match your housing and fabric.
Somfy & Dooya Motors
Quiet, reliable Somfy and Dooya tubular motors drive each screen from a wireless remote, with optional sun and wind sensors and smart-home app control for hands-free, automated operation.

Blend the housing into your trim, soffit, or fascia.

Premium SunPro Awnings, Installed Over Your Deck or Patio
Tennessee summers bring relentless heat, glare, and humidity. SunPro motorized retractable awnings give you instant, on-demand shade across your deck, patio, or poolside, then roll cleanly away at the touch of a button when you want the open sky back.
Engineered with quiet Somfy and Dooya motors, wireless remotes, and optional sun and wind sensors, these lateral-arm awnings extend smoothly to cover your outdoor living space and retract automatically when the weather turns — with integrated LED lighting to keep the evening going long after sunset.
Shade On Demand
Extend full coverage over your deck or patio in seconds, then retract just as fast to reclaim the open sky.
Beat the Tennessee Heat
Block harsh sun and glare to keep your outdoor living space noticeably cooler and more comfortable all summer long.
Smart Wind & Sun Sensors
Optional sensors automatically retract the awning in high wind and respond to changing sun, protecting your investment unattended.
Effortless Motorized Control
Quiet Somfy and Dooya motors with wireless remotes let you open or close your awning without lifting a finger.
Built-In Evening Ambiance
Integrated LED lighting along the arms turns your covered space into a warm, inviting retreat after dark.
Protects Your Furniture & Floors
Cutting UV exposure shields patio furniture, decking, and interior rooms from fading and sun damage over time.
Engineered Down to the Details
Integrated LED Lighting
Warm LED strips run the length of the arms, lighting your deck for late evenings and entertaining without any added fixtures.
Automatic Wind Sensor
A discreet wind sensor signals the motor to retract the awning in gusty conditions, guarding the frame and fabric automatically.
EZ Pitch Adjustment
Set the awning's angle to chase low-morning sun or steepen for rain runoff, dialing in the perfect pitch with ease.
Multi-Use Front Bar & Drop Screen
The front bar doubles as a built-in drop screen, lowering a shade panel to block low, direct sun at the edge of your awning.
Sunbrella Fabrics in Every Shade
Choose from a wide palette of fade-resistant, water-repellent Sunbrella acrylic fabrics, from clean solids to classic stripes, with an optional valance to finish the front edge. Built to hold their color through Tennessee sun and storms season after season.

One-Touch Control, Set-and-Forget Automation
Every SunPro screen and awning we install is built around quiet, dependable motorization — with the sensors and smart-home options to make your outdoor space run itself.
Somfy & Dooya Motors with Wireless Remotes
Quiet, reliable motors extend and retract your awning or screen at the press of a button. No cranking, no straps — just smooth one-touch operation from a handheld remote or wall switch.
Sun & Wind Sensors
Optional sensors react to changing conditions automatically. Roll out for shade as the sun climbs, and auto-retract when winds pick up so a sudden Tennessee storm never catches your awning out.
Smart-Home & App Control
Pair compatible motors with your phone or smart-home system to set schedules, group multiple units, and operate everything from indoors or away from home.
Automatic Wind Protection
When a wind sensor trips, the system retracts on its own to help protect the fabric, arms, and hardware — peace of mind on breezy lake days and stormy afternoons.
Integrated LED Lighting
Built-in LED lighting on select awnings turns your shaded area into a usable evening space, so the deck stays comfortable and lit well past sunset.
EZ Pitch & Multi-Use Front Bar
Adjust the pitch to chase low sun or shed rain, and use the integrated front bar with an optional drop-front screen for extra coverage when the afternoon glare gets intense.
