Why should I choose you for my project?

We are a local, established company dedicated to personalized service and excellent craftsmanship. We use durable, high-grade materials and focus on delivering custom shade solutions.

Are your awnings only for summer use?

While awnings provide excellent relief from summer heat and sun, our products are designed for year-round durability. We also offer seasonal services, like awning removal and storage, to protect your awnings during the winter.

Do you work with residential and commercial clients?

Yes! We design and install custom awnings for all types of properties, from residential decks and patios to commercial storefronts and offices.

What are your awnings made from?

We use a variety of high-quality materials to meet different needs. Some of these include durable, weather-resistant fabrics like solution-dyed acrylic, as well as robust aluminum and metal components for frames.

What are the benefits of installing a residential awning?

Awnings dramatically increase the usability of your outdoor spaces and can help reduce indoor cooling costs by blocking direct sunlight. They can also protect your outdoor furniture from UV damage.

Can I choose the color and pattern of my awning fabric?

Yes! We offer an extensive selection of high-quality fabrics, colors, and patterns to ensure your new awning perfectly complements your home’s exterior.

What’s the difference between a stationary and retractable awning?

Stationary awnings are permanently fixed to the structure, offering constant coverage. Retractable awnings can be extended or retracted manually or electronically, offering flexible shade control.

Can you install an awning over an existing deck or patio?

Yes! We specialize in custom-fitting awnings and shade systems for existing structures, ensuring proper attachment and structural integrity.

What is the estimated lifespan of a quality awning?

With proper maintenance and seasonal care, a high-quality, custom-installed awning can last for 10–15 years or more, especially if a durable fabric is used.

How can a commercial awning benefit my business?

Commercial awnings offer several benefits. For example, they offer weather protection for customers, reduce energy costs, and act as a professional branding tool.

Do you offer custom graphics and lettering for commercial awnings?

Yes! Custom graphics, logos, and lettering are a core part of our commercial service. We can apply professional, fade-resistant signage directly to your awning fabric for branding purposes.

What types of commercial properties do you usually work with?

We work with a wide range of commercial clients. Some of these include restaurants, retail stores, office buildings, hotels, and apartment complexes. We provide everything from entrance canopies to patio covers.

What kind of maintenance do your awnings require?

We recommend regular cleaning with a mild soap and water solution to prevent dirt and mildew buildup. For retractable awnings, it’s important to ensure the fabric is fully dry before retraction.
