Custom Canvas Awnings
Custom canvas awnings protect homes from sun and rain, reduce indoor temperatures by up to 20F, and enhance architectural aesthetics. Our team provides free consultations, on-site measurements, and tailored designs using premium, weather-resistant materials. These awnings improve curb appeal while offering long-term durability, with fabric warranties up to 10 years and a 10-year frame warranty.
Retractable Awnings
Retractable awnings offer adjustable shade controlled via motor or hand crank. Ideal for patios and windows, they combine functionality with style, using high-quality fabrics and durable frames. Installation includes a 3-year labor warranty and up to 10-year fabric coverage, ensuring reliable performance in varying weather conditions.
Commercial Canopies
Commercial canopies provide shade for storefronts, warehouses, and outdoor seating areas. Constructed with sturdy columns and weatherproof materials, they protect equipment and customers while promoting brand visibility. Our team ensures precise installation, with warranties covering frames and labor for long-term reliability and customer satisfaction.
Shade Sails
Shade sails create semi-permanent shaded areas over patios and decks using high-tensile fabric mounted on posts. They allow airflow while blocking UV rays, maintaining views without obstructing aesthetics. Installation includes durable materials with up to 10-year warranties, tailored to residential and commercial properties for year-round use.
Custom Covers
Custom covers safeguard outdoor equipment like grills, tables, and chairs with waterproof, fire-resistant materials. Designed to fit specific items, they extend product lifespan by shielding against weather damage. Available in various colors and patterns, these covers combine practicality with visual appeal for both residential and business applications.

I called to ask if they would install an awning that I had purchased elsewhere. I was told they only install products that they sell.

Had an awning installed by them 15 years ago which lasted until now. Just had them replace it a couple of days ago. Very well done in both cases. The installers were terrific.

I've been by for random repairs and assistance...and they've always been amazing over the 15 years I've lived here in San Jose. From canvas repairs, to nylon thread, to my Jeep canvas soft top...awesome. Thanks Bay Area Awning!
