Answers

FAQ

Do you make custom-shaped awnings?

Yes. We fabricate frames and covers for any storefront straight-drop, dome, gable, and concave shapes, with or without printed lettering and graphics.

Can you re-cover an existing awning frame?

Often, yes. We inspect the frame, clean and reuse it where structurally sound, and fit a fresh printed cover usually the most economical refresh.

Are retractable awnings worth it?

For patios and seasonal coverage, motorized retractable systems extend usable space without permanent structure or permit complications.

Do you offer illuminated awnings?

Yes internally illuminated (backlit) awnings combine shade, branding, and night-time visibility in one structure.

Do awnings need a permit?

Most fixed commercial awnings over public walkways require a municipal permit. We prepare drawings and manage the application across Greater Vancouver.
