Our heartfelt thanks to Cheryl and the Atlantic Awning team. Oh, what grief we could have saved, had we contracted with them earlier. Thank you for making our project viable after two years of delays.

Everyone was very helpful from start to finish. Special thanks to Kate and also Charles who were very thoughtful in the design. I cannot recall everyone's names but all were helpful and it is an architectural wonder! Thank you all and highly recommend Atlantic Awning to homeowners looking for solar shade.

Another year has passed and Cheryl still has our $8000 deposit that she won't give back. 2 years now since we started this project. We are now going to be taking them to court over our money. Do not use this company they are robbers. They have stole lots of peoples money just read their reviews. Search everywhere online and you will see that they consistently have taken peoples deposits and not returned the money or done the jobs. They also just shut off communication . The most incompetent group of people i have ever worked with.
