Residential Awnings and Canopies
Our Service Residential Awnings and Canopies
Walker Canvas Awning has been providing homeowners with custom awnings and patio canopies for over twenty years. Our designers can provide window awnings to enhance the beauty of your home while providing needed protection from the sun or we can create an outdoor living space protected from the sun and rain. Adding a window awning can significantly reduce heat gain, a door awning often helps with water intrusion, and a properly designed patio canopy is like adding an extra room to your house.
Fabric awnings are a classic and sophisticated look that softens the hard facades of our concrete structures. Fabric can be striped to match a club aesthetic or can feature more modern shapes and designs such as curved shade like framing or wrapped valances. Let one of our designers work with you to create your ideal shape.
Please take a look at some of our recent projects.
