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.

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.

Customer Reviews for Custom Railings 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.

Metal Awnings FAQs
How long does installation take?
custommetals2026-06-10T01:00:10-07:00. We give you a realistic timeline during the estimate and keep you updated throughout fabrication.
Do you work with general contractors and developers on commercial projects?
custommetals2026-06-10T00:59:30-07:00Yes. 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.
Can you match the awning finish to my existing railings?
custommetals2026-06-10T00:57:54-07:00Yes, 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.
