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.

Custom Metal Awnings

Custom Metal Awnings for Medina Homes

Every property in Medina is custom. The homes vary significantly in architectural language, from mid-century modern to contemporary glass-and-steel construction to traditional Pacific Northwest residential. An awning that reads correctly on one of these properties has to be designed from the building outward, not from a product catalog inward. We do not stock awning sizes or prefab frames. Every dimension, every profile, and every hardware choice is specific to the project.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

This 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.

Yes, 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.
