Custom Metal Awnings in Redmond, WA
About Metal Awnings
Metal Awnings in Redmond, WA
Redmond has gone through a significant commercial and residential transformation over the past decade. Downtown Redmond has added restaurants, breweries, and retail at a pace that tracks the broader tech-driven growth of the Eastside. The Overlake neighborhood hosts one of the densest concentrations of corporate campus buildings in Washington State. Education Hill, Bear Creek, and Grass Lawn have seen steady new construction on existing residential lots.
All of that activity creates consistent demand for custom metal awnings, and the standard that Redmond clients bring to the conversation is high. Tech-industry workers and the businesses that serve them tend to know what good design looks like. We build to that level: clean welds, correct powder-coat application, proper seal at every penetration point, and structures sized for actual load conditions rather than minimum spec.
Custom Metal Awnings
Custom Metal Awnings for Redmond Homes and Businesses
Redmond’s commercial buildings, particularly in Overlake and along 152nd Avenue NE, were largely built in the 1990s and early 2000s to corporate campus standards that prioritized function over architectural character. Many of those buildings are now being upgraded by new tenants or ownership, and entry canopies are a consistent item on the renovation list. A well-fabricated aluminum and glass awning over a corporate building entrance changes the first impression of the space considerably.
On the residential side, Redmond’s growth has put new construction next to mid-century homes in many neighborhoods. Homeowners on Education Hill and in the Willows area who are renovating older homes often want exterior metalwork that reads as intentional rather than afterthought. That kind of result requires custom fabrication.
Full Metal Awnings

The commercial density in Overlake means a large number of buildings with flat or low-slope rooflines and long, uninterrupted entry facades. A full aluminum canopy on that kind of building needs to be engineered for the full span, properly anchored at multiple points along the wall, and finished in a way that does not start looking tired after a few Pacific Northwest winters. We build for 30-plus years of that exposure.
Downtown Redmond is a different environment: a walkable restaurant and retail street where storefronts compete for attention on a human scale. The awnings we build for businesses on Cleveland Street and Leary Way NE serve as both weather protection and brand signal. The powder-coat color, the profile depth, and the trim details all contribute to how the business reads from the sidewalk.

Metal and Plexiglass Awnings
Metal Awnings with Plexiglass in Redmond, WA
Redmond sits at the edge of the Sammamish Plateau and its residential neighborhoods carry the PNW tree canopy that comes with that geography. Education Hill in particular has significant Douglas fir coverage on many lots. When we are designing a patio or deck cover for a home in that area, impact resistance is part of the brief. Polycarbonate handles falling debris in a way that glass cannot, and that matters when a fir branch drops on a November storm.
For the large-footprint homes that have been built on Bear Creek and Willows Road over the past decade, wide-span patio covers are a common request. Running those spans in glass requires heavier framing, more anchor points, and considerably higher cost. Polycarbonate panels at the same span cut the structural load significantly and keep the frame profile from dominating the backyard view.

- Elevated rear deck covers on properties in the Willows and Bear Creek areas
- Covered entry and side-yard structures on larger residential lots in Grass Lawn
- Outdoor covered dining structures for restaurants in downtown Redmond

Local Experts
Redmond Neighborhoods We Serve
Our Redmond work divides fairly cleanly between the commercial density of Overlake and downtown, and the residential neighborhoods that extend north and east from the city core. In Overlake, the projects are almost always commercial or corporate: entry canopies, covered parking structures, and walkway connections on campus buildings that house thousands of employees. Those jobs require coordination with facilities teams and often need engineered drawings. We handle both.
Downtown Redmond is an active restaurant and retail street that has grown considerably as the surrounding residential population has densified. The storefronts on Cleveland Street and Leary Way are a mix of old buildings with new tenants and new construction, and the awning requirements differ building to building. We do a site visit for every commercial project because the structural conditions at each building are different.
Education Hill, Grass Lawn, and the neighborhoods along the Sammamish River corridor are largely residential, with a mix of older ramblers, renovated two-stories, and newer builds. The awning work there tends toward front entries, covered rear patios, and occasionally carport structures on the larger lots. These are straightforward jobs for our crew and the site visits are usually quick.

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.

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.
