Custom Awning Projects
We create bespoke awning solutions engineered for Hawaii's climate. Our custom systems use UV-resistant fabrics and corrosion-proof materials, offering protection from sun and rain while enhancing property aesthetics. Clients choose from hundreds of fabric options and attachment methods to match their architectural style.
Retractable Awnings
Our retractable systems combine functionality with modern design. Featuring motorized operation and optional upgrades like LED lighting, these awnings adapt to changing weather conditions. We offer multiple brands with precision customization to 1/8th inch measurements for perfect fit.
Vertical Shades
Eclipse and HD screen systems provide privacy without sacrificing views. These vertical shading solutions withstand winds up to 80 MPH and integrate with smart home systems. Available in motorized or manual operation with various fabric opacity options.
Pergola Installations
We install louvered and fabric-roof pergolas engineered for durability. Systems feature powder-coated aluminum framing with 20-year fabric warranties. Commercial-grade options include smart home integration and modular designs for unlimited coverage possibilities.

Our maintenance services extend the life of existing systems through fabric replacement, motor upgrades, and structural repairs. We service all awning types, often revitalizing older units at a fraction of replacement cost while maintaining original performance standards.

We are very happy with the new awnings that Awning Hawaii specified and installed for us! We first discussed with Tyler what we were trying to accomplish in reducing the sun bake on our lanai. He provided us with a recommendation and material choices. Later the awnings were installed and met our expectations in making our lanai more comfortable.

Michelle visited us in December 2020 and we are still waiting for our estimate. This company seemed great and we we would have loved to have our awnings installed by them, however, we are ready to start this project so needed to go with another company. Sorry to say that the experience was a waste of time.

Couden't be more happy with the work Awning Hawaii did to my bell tent! My bell tent roof got riped from the middle pole and i thought it's going to be a nightmare to fix it since i tried to call alllll tent/awening/roofing companeis on the island and nobody want to take this job!
Tylor, from Awning Hawaii were so friendly and honest! He tald me on the phone "yes i can check it out and i think the cost will be very low since is only a small hole". The next day i came to his shop in Wahiwa with the tent, took him 15 min to open this giant bell tent, fix it and pack it up perfectly

We had two very dirty awnings. I didn't know if we should replace or clean them. Tyler was VERY helpful and explained that we could get away with just cleaning them, thereby saving a full replacement cost for a couple of years. He and his associate, Kevin, worked FAST. Our awnings were taken down, cleaned, stitched, repaired, and put back up in TWO DAYS. Tyler even sent pictures and a video of the cleaning process. Call Awning Hawaii before you call ANYBODY else!

We had a medium sized project that needed to be completed and after searching around I decided to go with awning Hawaii. Tyler knew exactly what I was looking for and was also able to solve a few design issues. It was completed before the deadline and the results were exceptional. Tyler is both passionate and personable so it was a joy to have him working here. Now we want to do the other side of the house!
