Awnings - Tampa, FL - Florida Awnings

Commercial Awnings and Residential Awnings were the genesis of West Coast Awnings growth into becoming the largest awning company in Clearwater, Pinellas, Tampa Bay, and now one of the largest shade structure and canopy manufacturers in Florida. West Coast Awnings is synonymous with Florida Awnings, and in fact if we had thought further ahead, we should have named ourselves “Florida Awnings” back in 1957 when we were founded in downtown Clearwater. While fabric awnings, and specifically Sunbrella window awnings, remain a stalwart in our product line, we also fabricate and install standing seam metal awnings, aluminum awnings, retractable awnings, canopies, and even vertical shade protection systems. We are much more than just an awning company now, and in fact we are Tampa’s leading fabricator of ornamental metal, custom welded railing, fence, gates, carports, walkway covers, and commercial SunShades. Our hurricane protection division, one of the oldest in the Tampa area, remains one of the leaders in Florida’s storm protection industry. The majority of our business is repeat and referral customers, and once you discover the advantages of working with Florida’s leading awning company, you will never consider using anyone else. Our awning showroom in Clearwater, Florida is open to the general public during the week and highlights some of our most popular products.

Florida Commercial Awnings - Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater

Commercial Awnings and Canopies in Florida must endure some of the toughest conditions in the world. As such, our commercial awnings meet the highest standards in the shade industry, underpinned by exacting awning engineering and premium awning shop drawings. In addition to commercial canopies and awnings, our commercial division also handles inquires related to commercial walkway covers and carports, as well as ornamental metal, and commercial railing & fence systems. We also receive a significant volume of quote requests from commercial clientele interested in retractable awnings for certain commercial projects. Our commercial awning division services projects throughout the state of Florida from Miami to Naples, Tampa to Orlando, and Jacksonville to Destin. If you need commercial awnings or canopy systems ANYWHERE in the state of Florida, you need West Coast Awnings! Not many commercial railing companies, let alone commercial awning companies are Florida State licensed & insured, but West Coast Awnings is. From Fabric Awnings, Metal Awnings, Standing Seam Awnings, Retractable Awnings, Vertical Shade Protection, and more West Coast Awnings quality is unmatched. Our commercial awning installation professionals undergo the most rigorous training in the industry and are held to a higher standard than our peers, leading to the highest quality awning and canopy installations for our customers. Our higher quality installations allow us to provide a comprehensive awning warranty, which has more merit than our competitors as we have stood behind the products we make for over 50 years! While we welcome large commercial awning, canopy, ornamental metal, railing, and fence opportunities throughout Florida, many of our awnings and canopies are still installed in local cities within Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties, including Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, New Port Richey, Lakeland, Sarasota, and Bradenton. Independent of location, the majority of our Florida commercial canopy and awning business comes from repeat and referral customers, many of which have discovered the benefits of using West Coast Awnings for all of their decorative metal needs, including commercial railing systems, commercial fence, gates, and commercial carports and walkway cover systems. Contractors understand the importance of communication, reliability, and meeting critical deadlines, which is why many Florida contractors won’t trust their commercial awnings and ornamental metalwork with anyone else!

Tampa Awning Companies

There are many awning companies in Pinellas/Pasco/Hillsborough, yet few are really qualified to install, let alone manufacture the products they are advertising. Yellow Pages throughout the Tampa Bay area, and Florida for that matter, are full of awning companies, though the majority are not licensed, and many do not even have their own showroom, let alone their own manufacturing facility. Many of the awning companies you see with the impressive looking Yellow Page ads do not even manufacture their own awnings, but rather outsource the fabrication to a third party fabrication shop. Some of these unsavory companies may appear legitimate when they come to your home for an awning estimate, but beware! Before dealing with any Pinellas awning companies, make sure they are registered with the Pinellas County Construction Licensing Board (PCCLB). If you are in Tampa, or Hillsborough County, you will want to check with your county’s corresponding licensing enforcement organization. Showrooms are also an important differentiator among awning companies. Feel free to visit our awning showroom in Clearwater, Florida and if you schedule ahead we can arrange for you to receive a tour of our awning factory.

Awning CAD Drawings - Awning Autocad Drawings - Awning Shop Drawings - Tampa, FL

West Coast Awnings utilizes cutting edge Computer Animated Design (CAD) software to design and engineer our awnings at a level most of our competitors can only dream of achieving. We accomplish this by using two separate computer drafting systems. The first system, AutoCAD, has been around for generations, and we continue to use this program due to its overwhelming popularity in the market. We often use this for standard awning drawings we provide to architects as most of them are currently operating from the AutoCAD platform. SolidWorks is our other CAD program, and it is rapidly gaining market share from AutoCAD, due to some of the distinct advantages it provides. Our ability to leverage both platforms allows us to communicate with those in the industry accustomed to AutoCAD while still benefiting from the advantages offered by SolidWorks. Visit our awning manufacturing facility in Clearwater, FL and witness the power of our awning design software firsthand.

Florida Awning Engineering

Permitting and engineering is a common bottleneck for construction in general, let alone awnings. We understand the rapid accumulation of costs that can arise from unforeseen project delays, such as waiting for awning engineering, and as such we utilize a proprietary network of highly skilled awning engineers, who are familiar with the nuances and intricacies intrinsic to engineering awnings. Our use of this network provides our customers improved turn times and higher quality engineering relative to our peers in Tampa and throughout Florida.
