Retractable Awnings
Our motorized retractable awnings provide customizable shade for decks, patios, and homes. Designed for durability with UV-resistant fabrics and aluminum frames, they block up to 94% of harmful rays. Custom-manufactured to your specifications, these awnings combine energy efficiency with aesthetic appeal to enhance outdoor living spaces.
Retractable Canopies
Freestanding or wall-mounted retractable canopies offer versatile shade solutions for pools, patios, or spas. Featuring durable aluminum components and weather-resistant fabrics, these structures provide privacy and sun protection. Customizable with side curtains and dual-layer covers, they are ideal for creating functional outdoor entertainment areas in any climate.
Window Awnings
Custom window awnings reduce indoor heat while adding architectural appeal. Available in adjustable drop-arm designs, they protect against UV rays and control sunlight exposure. Manufactured with maintenance-free materials and featuring a 12-year fabric warranty, these awnings enhance curb appeal and energy efficiency for residential properties.
Solar Shades
Solar shades block heat transmission through windows while maintaining visibility. Installed externally, they prevent interior fading of furniture and reduce cooling costs. Offering motorized operation and available in multiple configurations, these energy-efficient solutions provide sun protection and privacy for both residential and commercial buildings.
Fabric Replacement
Revitalize existing awnings with custom fabric replacements from our premium Craft-Bilt collection. Using UV-standard-certified materials with durable GORE Tenara thread, this service restores functionality and appearance. Available for any brand, it offers a cost-effective alternative to full awning replacement while maintaining warranty protections on frames.

Tony Damore and company represent the best when it comes to home improvement. Damore is a master salesman in that his customer service and engagement far surpass his extensive knowledge of awnings. He skillfully helps you select the best awning for your home and delivers on price and quality. If anyone else out there approaches you, STOP! Get an estimate from American Awnings and you'll be highly pleased! Their rates are competitive as they don't have the outrageous overhead that forces them to charge obscene rates for labor and materials. Do your homework and you'll realize, Tony's warranties

Overall great experience with American Awnings! Tony came out to our home and offered us a great selection of awning options to choose from. We ordered our custom awning and had it installed in three weeks (one week earlier than expected). The quality and service can't be beat! Our family has enjoyed our awning ever day from morning till night!

This is the greatest awning company. They were very helpful from start to finish. After shopping around they offered me a better product with a better warranty and a lower price. I asked them how this was possible and they stated that they only do awnings so they can beat the other companies that do awnings as a side business. We are very happy we found American awnings.
