Are your fabric awnings falling apart?  Is the thread on your seams or binding rotting in the harsh Florida sun?  Maybe it's time for a replacement cover for those tired looking awnings with a fresh new color or style.  Acrylic (canvas) fabrics by Sunbrella and Sattler are better than ever before, now offering warranties up to 10 years.  We have over 300 colors and styles to choose from.  If you are looking for something waterproof, then maybe a vinyl fabric with a 5 year waranty is more your speed.  Ask us about our thread that is guaranteed to outlive the life of your canvas or vinyl fabric.  As seen on the pictures below, fabric canopies can make a real statement on the exterior of your home or business.  Replacement fabric can provide a face lift to residential or commercial properties alike.  Whether you live in St. Pete, Clearwater, or Tampa, we are here to provide the same high quality service we have since 1957.

We were blown away when we saw the finished product on our recent job for Boizao Steakhouse in Tampa, FL.  There are three radius marquee awnings facing the street, and three small dome awnings above the entrance way.  The black and white Sunbrella fabric was treated for flame retardancy and then sewn together foot by foot to create the dramatic blocked stripe effect.  Florida Building code calls for flame retardant fabric on all commercial buildings, so be sure your awning provider is providing you with a flame certificate to prove it.  In the event of a fire, the local municipality and insurance company will be looking for places to point the finger and you don't want that to be you.  The graphics were heat applied in order to ensure longevity on the Sunbrella fabric.  White custom flags/penants with a red Boizao logo were added to provide some contrast to the black on the awnings.  Overall, a very upscale look for a great restaurant.

We worked with our friends at RCC & Associates to set The Pub apart from the other establishments on Bay Street at the International Mall in Tampa. The black, fire retardant fabric was the perfect back drop for the custom graphics on blade style awnings.  It was a challenge working with the limited installation windows while the mall was closed to the public, but as always, we got the job done right.  The installation team can always sleep on the weekends, right? You can check out the finished product in person while enjoying the atmosphere of The Pub, or take a look at the photos below.

We were recently delighted to hear from one of our satisfied customers down in St. Petersburg.  They were blown away away by the great quality, service and installation of their new retractable awning.  They went on to say that the product performs exactly as promised by the salesman; providing a noticeable temperature difference of 15 degrees or more under the shade of their new awning.  Retractable awnings are a great way to increase the livable area of your home.  They provide shade when you want it and sun when you don't.  The customer's was so pleased, they referred to the their retractable awning as the "best improvement to [their] home [they] have ever made".  It makes our day to hear from satisfied customers like this one.  Hoping to hear from many more in 2011.
