Custom Metal Awnings in Kirkland, WA
About Metal Awnings
Metal Awnings in Kirkland, WA
Kirkland works on two levels at once: a dense waterfront scene along Lake Washington where restaurants and boutiques line the marina, and a broad residential base spread across hillside neighborhoods from Houghton to Juanita to Kingsgate. Those two contexts produce different awning requirements, and we build for both.
Waterfront and near-waterfront properties need hardware specified for moisture. Restaurants on Central Way need clean commercial fabrication that can take a power wash and still look sharp in year ten. Residential homes across Kirkland’s hillside neighborhoods need structures sized for varied lot configurations and roof pitches. We build every awning from scratch in our Kent shop and install it ourselves, so all three situations are straightforward for us.
Custom Metal Awnings
Custom Metal Awnings for Kirkland Homes and Businesses
Kirkland’s growth has changed the city’s exterior architecture considerably. Older ranchers and mid-century homes in Houghton and Norkirk sit next to new construction townhomes and renovated craftsmen. The commercial strip along Central Way has added new restaurants and retail year over year. None of those applications fit a single prefab solution, and most of the interesting projects we get from Kirkland require something built to a specific dimension or finish standard.
We have installed awnings on century-old homes where the entry width was 52 inches and nothing off a shelf came close, and on new construction restaurants where the architect’s finish schedule called for a specific RAL powder-coat color. Both of those jobs started with a site visit, a measurement, and a drawing. That is how all our Kirkland work begins.
Full Metal Awnings
Full Metal Awnings in Kirkland, WA
Kirkland’s restaurant and retail corridor on Central Way is one of the most active dining streets on the Eastside. The businesses there turn over customers quickly and the entries take constant foot traffic, rain runoff, and daily cleaning. Full aluminum awnings built to commercial spec handle that environment indefinitely. Fabric awnings in that same setting need maintenance inside of five years.

Kirkland Neighborhoods We Serve
Downtown Kirkland and the Marina district generate most of our commercial work in this city. The restaurants and retailers along Central Way, Lake Street South, and around Kirkland Urban handle high customer volume and need entry coverage that holds up to daily use without constant upkeep. Metal is the obvious answer in that environment.
Farther east, Juanita, Kingsgate, and the Everest neighborhood are a mix of mid-century ramblers, renovated craftsmen, and newer builds on larger lots. The awning requests there run toward covered entries, rear patio covers, and in some cases full carport structures. Those jobs are straightforward but they do require site visits because the lot configurations and existing roof pitches vary considerably.

Customer Reviews for Custom Metal Awnings in Kirkland, 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. Fantastic experience. Could not be more thrilled with the work Custom Railings did. 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
Can you match a new awning to my existing cable or glass railings?
CustomRailingsWA2026-06-16T04:34:53-07:00Yes, and this is something we do regularly for Kirkland clients who already have railings from us or from another fabricator. Because we build railings and awnings in the same shop, matching powder-coat finish, aluminum profile size, and hardware style is a standard part of our design process. Many Kirkland homeowners order an awning and new deck railings at the same time to get a unified exterior. If you have existing metalwork, bring us a photo and we will get the finish as close as possible.
My home is on the Lake Washington waterfront in Kirkland. What hardware do you use?
CustomRailingsWA2026-06-16T04:33:54-07:00For waterfront properties in Kirkland's Houghton and Moss Bay areas, we use stainless steel fasteners and standoffs. The aluminum frame itself does not rust, but the connection points where the awning meets the building are where cheaper hardware fails first.
How much does a custom metal awning cost in Kirkland?
CustomRailingsWA2026-06-16T04:33:07-07:00We provide free on-site estimates, and the number we give you is based on your actual project, not a range from a phone call.
