We repair torn fabric, failed motors, bent arms, and rusted hardware on all major brands.
Your RV awning fails at the worst times. You're camping and the fabric rips during a storm. Your electric motor won't retract and gets stuck halfway open. Wind damage bent the arm, and now it won't extend evenly. You call a dealership and they quote you three months and thousands of dollars. You try a mobile RV service and they patch it with a temporary fix that lasts two weeks.
Most shops don't understand how awnings mount to RV walls. They bolt things on without understanding wall composition or how water finds its way inside. A single bolt hole installed wrong becomes a leak that rots your interior.
We repair torn fabric, replace failed motors, straighten or replace bent arms, replace corroded hardware, and seal all mounting points so water stays out. We test everything before you leave. Your awning retracts smooth, extends tight, and operates the way it should.

We follow a clear six-step process. You know what we're doing and why we're doing it.
You bring your RV to our Commerce City shop. We walk out with you, test the awning in person, and diagnose what's wrong. Is the fabric torn? Is the motor failing? Is an arm bent? We give you an honest assessment right there on the spot. No surprises. No pressure. Just straight talk about whether repair or replacement makes sense.
We document all damage with photos and notes. We determine the scope of work. Is it fabric only, or do we also need to address arms, hardware, and sealing? We map out exactly what needs to happen and why.
We fix torn fabric with proper patches that blend in and seal tight. If the damage is too extensive, we replace the fabric on the existing frame. We straighten bent arms when possible, or replace them when they're compromised. We replace failed motors with quality units that fit your awning. We don't patch things that need replacing.
We address rusted bolts, corroded fasteners, and stuck mechanisms. We lubricate moving parts so your awning operates smooth. We replace any hardware that's compromised. Every bolt that holds the awning to your RV wall gets our attention.
This is where the fiberglass knowledge matters. We inspect every seam where the awning meets your RV wall. We look for water intrusion paths. We reseal mounting points to make sure water can't get inside your wall. A failed awning seal can rot out your fiberglass in months.
We extend and retract your awning multiple times. We test motor operation on electric awnings. We verify tension is even. We walk through the final product with you so you understand what we did and how to maintain it going forward.

Everything you need to know about RV awning repair at Fiberglass Worx.
Cost depends on the type of damage and what components need repair or replacement. A small fabric tear costs less than a full motor replacement with new fabric. Every awning is different, which is why we assess in person rather than quoting over the phone. Bring your RV to our shop for a free in-person assessment. Formal written quotes are charged at $175.
Most repairs are done in 1-2 weeks. Rush jobs may be available depending on our current schedule. We'll give you a timeline when you bring your RV in for the free estimate.
It depends on the tear. Small tears can be patched with reinforcement material that blends in and seals tight. Large tears, multiple damage areas, or damage along seams often require full fabric replacement. We assess it in person and recommend the best option for your specific damage.
Yes. We repair and replace electric motors on all major brands. A failed motor can often be replaced for less than a full awning replacement. We test everything before you leave.
We repair Carefree, Dometic, Solera, and all other major brands. If it's mounted on an RV, we can service it. Our fiberglass expertise lets us work on any brand because we understand the mounting principles.
Colorado sits at high elevation with intense UV exposure - about 15-20% more intense than sea level. We average 414 hailstorms per year and rank number one nationally for hail losses. Awning fabric degrades faster here, and hail and wind impact them hard. Regular inspection and maintenance matter more in Colorado than other states.
Failed seams where the awning frame meets the wall are the main culprit. Corroded bolt holes, stripped threads, or improperly sealed mounting points let water in. It gets behind the fiberglass and stays there, rotting the wall from the inside. This is why fiberglass knowledge matters. We inspect and reseal every mounting point.
Start with a free estimate. We'll assess the damage and be honest about whether repair makes financial sense or if replacement is the better move. If repair is the play, we fix it right. If replacement makes more sense long-term, we'll tell you and can handle that too with our RV Awning Installation service.
