Custom Metal Awnings in Medina, WA
About Metal Awnings
Metal Awnings in Medina, WA
Medina is entirely residential. There are no retail corridors, no restaurant strips, no commercial buildings to speak of. What the city does have is a concentration of large, architect-designed homes on generous Lake Washington lots where every exterior detail matters and the standard of finish on any new work must match what is already there.
Clients in Medina typically approach us in one of two ways. Some are working through an architect or designer who has included an awning in a broader exterior renovation, and they need a fabricator who can read a set of drawings, provide shop drawings for approval, and hold the specified finish to close tolerances. Others come directly to us with a clear idea of what they need and want a straightforward conversation about materials, hardware, and timeline. We work well in both situations.

Full Metal Awnings
Full Metal Awnings in Medina, WA
A full aluminum awning on a Medina waterfront home is a 30 to 50 year installation. The structure will be there through ownership changes, renovation cycles, and decades of Lake Washington weather. That permanence is exactly why the fabrication quality and material selection have to be right from the start. A frame that is slightly out of square, a weld that is ground unevenly, or hardware that corrodes in year eight is not acceptable at this level and it is not how we build.
Full metal awnings on Medina properties are most often found at motor court entries, covered walkways between main and guest structures, boat dock access routes, and front door entries on homes where a glass or plexiglass panel would not suit the architectural language. For contemporary homes with strong horizontal lines, a clean aluminum awning with no infill is often the right answer.
- Front entry canopies designed to the home’s specific architectural profile and finish palette
- Motor court covered entries and covered port-cocheres on larger estate properties
- Covered walkways connecting main residences to guest houses or detached garages
- Boat dock access covered pathways and lakeside entry canopies
- Pool equipment structure covers and outdoor service entry canopies
- Covered transition structures between interior and landscape elements

Metal and Plexiglass Awnings
Metal Awnings with Plexiglass in Medina, WA
Polycarbonate panel awnings are the right choice on Medina properties where the primary goal is covering a large outdoor area while preserving as much natural light as possible. Many of the homes here have lake-facing outdoor living areas with wide spans that would be prohibitively heavy to roof in glass.
- Wide-span lakeside patio and terrace covers on waterfront properties
- Pool area covered structures that allow maximum light while blocking rain
- Outdoor kitchen covers and covered entertainment area structures
- Greenhouse-style walkways connecting structures across larger estate lots
- Covered entry vestibules where natural light is a priority over opaque roofing
- Garden structure covers and covered landscape transition elements
Local Experts
Medina and Surrounding Communities
Medina is a small city and every property we work on there is different. The lot sizes, the architectural styles, and the proximity to the lake all vary block by block in ways that make each project its own design problem. We do not carry assumptions about what a Medina project should look like from one job to the next. We show up, look at the property, understand what the homeowner or architect is trying to achieve, and design around those specific conditions.
We also work regularly in the communities immediately surrounding Medina, including Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point, Hunts Point, and the western edge of Bellevue that borders the lake. The residential character and material requirements in those areas are similar to Medina, and clients there often come to us through word of mouth from previous Medina projects.

Customer Reviews for Custom Metal Awnings in Medina, WA
See What Our Customers Are Saying
Posted on Google Kristina G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're so thrilled with our new stair railings! Custom Railings WA and Mike's team did a high quality job from start to finish. We got the black powder coat finish with hemlock handrail in natural stain, which looks so elegant (see attached photos). The powder coat finish is really attractive, and we like that it's durable and not easily scratched. We were a little nervous that the wood color/characteristics on the top rail might turn out to be inconsistent across such a long run of railing, but the hand rails on all of the railings match beautifully. Thank you, Mike and team for taking such great care of us! Our new stairs are the perfect touch for our new farmhouse.Posted on Google Adele FesanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used this company for the second time, and this was our first time ordering railing for an outdoor deck. The service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the team was easy to work with, and everything was completed exactly on schedule. The installation crew was highly professional, respectful, and left the area clean after completing the job. It was truly a pleasure working with a company that operates with such care and professionalism. The quality of the railing is top-notch — a very high-end product that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future.Posted on Google Leyla HasanovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered glass railings for our parents’ home in Seattle. We were choosing between two options, glass or modern metal railings, and in the end we decided to go with glass. We’re extremely happy with that choice. The team helped us understand the differences, guided us through the design, and completed the installation on time. The railings look amazing. Great experience overall!Posted on Google Zamina BabayevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first day, they were professional and easy to work with. Mike always replied quickly, and the team made sure every detail was just how I wanted. In the end, we got beautiful glass railings that fit perfectly with our modern home in Bellevue. Thank you, Custom Railings WA, for making the whole process smooth and enjoyable!Posted on Google J BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a good experience getting outdoor railings for my front concrete steps and for my stone steps in the back garden. I had put off doing this for so long and thought that railings might detract from the aesthetic look of my yard, but I was so wrong. I absolutely love my new railings, and loved working with all the guys who came out - to measure, to bend the metal and dig post holes, and finally to install the finished railings. Thank you!Posted on Google Jill SprattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Mike and his crew at Custom Railings WA. From design planning to installation they were knowledgeable, patient, helpful and professional.Posted on Google K CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Start to finish top notch work, excellent communication, very professional crew, wish all companies operated with such integrity, truly a pleasure to work with!Posted on Google Hanaa Abou OufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have beautiful new railings thanks to Custom Railings. Good communication, beautiful product, and they made sure everything was clean before they left. I will definitely use them again in the future!Posted on Google Cathy MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Custom Railings WA. They replaced our outdated railing with a new custom designed railing that fit our dreams and our budget. Communication was always clear and timely. They even worked around the chaotic schedule of other contractors working on our bigger remodeling project that impacted when the railing could be installed. Very Happy with our railing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle multi-structure properties where an awning connects to an existing covered walkway?
CustomRailingsWA2026-06-17T06:37:01-07:00This is a regular situation on larger Medina estate properties where covered connections between a main residence, guest house, or detached garage are part of the project scope.
Can you work with my architect on the awning design?
CustomRailingsWA2026-06-17T06:36:20-07:00Yes, and we prefer it on complex Medina projects. We work from architect drawings, provide shop drawings for their review and approval, and fabricate to the approved spec. If the awning is part of a larger exterior metalwork package that includes custom railings, gates, or other fabricated elements, we can handle all of those from one shop, which simplifies coordination considerably. We have worked with several Eastside architecture firms on residential projects in Medina and the surrounding area and the process is well established.
