Custom Metal Awnings

Custom Metal Awnings for Seattle Homes & Businesses

A custom metal awning is the right choice when a prefab product won’t fit your building. Seattle has a lot of that work: older craftsman homes in Ballard with non-standard entry widths, modern new builds in South Lake Union that spec architectural aluminum, and commercial storefronts along Capitol Hill or Fremont that need a distinctive look.

Custom doesn’t mean expensive, sometimes it just means we measure your opening precisely, weld a frame that fits perfectly, and finish it in a powder coat that matches your existing exterior. Other times it means full design work: engineered drawings, glass or plexiglass inserts, and hardware matched to your building’s aesthetic. Either way, the process starts with a free quote and an on-site visit.

Full Metal Awnings

Full Metal Awnings in Seattle, WA

A full metal awning is the most durable option on the market.  and in Seattle’s climate, it’s often the most practical. A properly powder-coated metal awning handles 150+ rainy days a year, heavy moss buildup, and occasional snow loads without degrading.

Common full metal awning applications in Seattle:

  • Front entry awnings for homes in Queen Anne, Madison Park, and Montlake
  • Open-tread stair runs in modern homes
  • Lofts and upper-floor overlooks
  • Office reception areas and meeting rooms
  • Hotel and condo lobbies near downtown Bellevue

  • Glass deck railings for elevated patios and walkout decks
  • Balcony railings on Bellevue condos, townhomes, and apartments
  • Rooftop decks above the Spring District and downtown Bellevue

Local Experts

Seattle Neighborhoods We Serve

We’ve installed custom metal awnings across Seattle, from dense urban storefronts in Belltown and Capitol Hill to residential homes in Ballard, Queen Anne, and West Seattle. Each neighborhood has its own architecture and building permit requirements, and we tailor our recommendations accordingly.

In South Lake Union and Belltown, we mostly work on commercial and mixed-use buildings where modern aluminum and glass canopies are the architectural standard. In Ballard, Fremont, and Wallingford, residential work dominates — front entries, covered patios, and deck covers on older homes that need long-term protection. In Capitol Hill, we see heavy demand from restaurants and retailers looking for distinctive metal storefronts.

Metal Awnings FAQs

. We give you a realistic timeline during the estimate and keep you updated throughout fabrication.

Yes. We work directly with GCs, architects, and developers across Seattle on commercial metal awning projects. If you're managing a new restaurant buildout in SLU, a retail strip in Capitol Hill, or a multi-family entry in the Central District, get in touch early.

Yes, this is one of our strongest differentiators. Because we fabricate both railings and awnings in-house, matching powder-coat color, metal profile, and hardware finish is straightforward. Many Seattle homeowners order railings and an awning together and get a fully unified exterior metalwork package. If you already have railings from us, bring us a photo and we'll match it exactly.

We provide free on-site estimates with no obligation. Contact us and we'll come out and give you a real number.
