FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What styles of fabric awnings do you build?
We manufacture multiple designs to match your specific architecture. Our custom options include traditional, rollfront, dome, California, gable, patio, and swayback canvas awnings. If you are looking for the premium canvas Anderson locals rely on, we fabricate every style entirely in-house for a flawless, drum-tight fit.
Do you provide design mockups before fabrication?
Yes. During your consultation, we use specialized software to create a digital rendering of your selected design directly on an image of your building. This helps you clearly see the final result before we build anything.
Can I add a logo to my commercial canopy?
Yes. We apply custom artwork designed to last the lifetime of the structure. We use a matching base coat and bake premium paint directly into our fabric covers to prevent color bleeding. If you choose a vinyl canopy, we apply premium vinyl graphics for sharp, durable branding.
Do you handle building permits and engineering specifications?
For commercial projects, stamped engineering spec sheets and building permits are not included in the standard proposal. Our team can easily add these services to your overall project scope for an additional fee upon request.
What is the typical lead time for a new project?
Once you approve the design and provide the 50% deposit, our lead time typically ranges from three to eight weeks. This timeframe varies depending on the current season and the complexity of your custom build.
How are the frames secured to the building?
We engineer every mount for extreme durability. Our installers bypass the exterior siding and anchor the frames directly into your building’s structural framing using heavy-duty hardware. We also use lead shielding for masonry and seal every mount with permanent silicone caulk to prevent leaks.
How long do your fabric covers typically last?
Our fabric installations generally last between 15 and 25 years. We use premium 100% dyed acrylics, such as Sunbrella and Tempo Test. These materials come with a 10-year warranty. The total lifespan depends on sun exposure and regular maintenance.
Will the colors fade over time?
Some bright colors, like red and orange, may show minor fading within five to seven years. Darker shades such as black, brown, blue, and gray will retain their rich appearance well past the 10-year fabric warranty.
How do I clean my new awning?
Maintenance is simple. You can easily clean the exterior using a gentle cleaning solution and a soft-bristle brush. Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup and extends the material’s overall lifespan.
What warranties do you provide?
We offer robust warranties across all our product lines. For our retractable units, we use heavy-duty Sunflexx frames from Eastern Awning Systems, which come with a 15-year warranty. Fabric covers carry a 5 to 12-year warranty, depending on the exact material chosen. Standing seam metal panels include a 20-year warranty. We also provide a comprehensive one-year installation warranty, so your new structure experiences full four-season weather protection.
Can my awning be repaired if it becomes damaged?
This depends on the age of your awning and the extent of the damage. We offer a five-year warranty on our fabrics and a one-year warranty on workmanship. We diagnose all repair requests on a case-by-case basis to determine the most effective solution for your structure.
