I hired Bob's Canvas to replace an awning canvas that was damaged from painters. Danny at Bob's Canvas did an amazing job. I got a total of 3 estimates prior to choosing Bob's Canvas, but what separated Bob's Canvas from the other 2 companies is that they were the only company out of the 3 that mentioned anything about my awning frame. Included with the price quoted to replace the awning canvas was a complete inspection of my frame, and repairing any issues. Turns out the painters who damaged my canvas also put a long scratch in the powder coat finish plus they got paint on the frame, and somehow

Love my backyard canvas. Forget 5 stars......I give them 10. I cannot even imagine ever not having it. It brings the heat down so much - it's wonderful. They did an excellent job, cleaned up perfectly and it didn't take that long to put up. We love it.
