Services
Residential Awnings
Custom-designed residential awnings enhance home comfort and curb appeal while providing UV protection. Available in retractable and stationary styles with 200+ fabric choices and powder-coated aluminum frames. Our systems include built-in guttering and weather-resistant materials that withstand Connecticut's seasons while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Commercial Canopies
Durable commercial canopies boost storefront visibility and customer comfort. We create branded entrance canopies, window awnings, and patio covers with graphics-ready surfaces and structural integrity exceeding local building codes. Options include backlit signage, weatherproof enclosures, and modular systems for multi-tenant buildings.
Aluminum Awnings
High-performance aluminum awnings offer maintenance-free protection with classic styling. Our in-house manufactured systems feature powder-coated finishes, integrated drainage, and structural strength for year-round use. Available in roll-up, stationary, and harmonizing designs that complement both modern and traditional architecture.
Retractable Awnings
Motorized and manual retractable awnings provide versatile sun control for decks and patios. Systems support widths up to 40 feet with projection options up to 16.5 feet, featuring weather sensors for automatic retraction and fabric choices that block 98% of UV rays while maintaining outward visibility.
Solar Screens
Interior and exterior solar screens reduce heat gain while maintaining privacy. Our high-transparency mesh options filter sunlight without blocking views, while blackout-grade fabrics create climate-controlled environments for commercial spaces. All systems include track-guided stability and seasonal heat management benefits.

My family couldn't be more happy with our new awning. We'll spend more time outdoors. Scott was extremely helpful in suggesting the best awning for us. I will be recommending Awning Place to all my friends!

The Awning Place is awesome! Bob came out promptly to give us a quote and discuss options to fit our budget. They were installed quickly and look wonderful. I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for quality awnings and professional owners and staff.

We are thrilled with our awning and the entire team, from sales to installation. Having the electrician part of the package made all the difference, other quotes I received were priced the same but then I would have had the hassle of hiring an electrician (at my expense) and trying to coordinate the dates with the installation. Highly recommend Awning Place.
