New The Look of Metal
Standing-seam metal looks — in custom awning fabric

- Architectural curb appeal that reads as premium metal
- Custom-fit to any storefront — even curves
- Lighter, faster install · acrylic & vinyl finishes

Recover it instead — new fabric on your existing frame
Most of the cost of a new awning is the frame. Our recovering station fits a custom-sewn cover to the frame you already own — a fresh awning for a fraction of the cost of new.

Connecticut trusts Manchester Awning
- ★★★★★
We absolutely love our new awning. It is going to allow us to enjoy our back deck on sunny days as it isn’t shaded at all until early evening. It looks beautiful and so easy to operate with the remote control. Manchester Awning was a pleasure to deal with. Very professional sales representative who wasn’t pushy at all, excellent installation team and LuAnn at the front desk is not only personable but informative as well. I highly recommend this company.

Five star service from Jeff and Manchester Awning. Jeff offered many suggestions and was mindful of the budget I set… The end result is absolutely perfect.
- ★★★★★
We purchased an awning from Manchester Awning more than 20 years ago and it is still holding up very well. This month we brought it in for a much overdue cleaning and minor seam repair. They did an excellent job and delivered it to us… and even offered to put it up. Would recommend them very highly. 5+ stars.
- ★★★★★
Excellent communication and follow through. Quickly received a quote and I received a follow up call seeing if I had any questions. Once decision was made and fabric was selected, the install occurred in about two weeks. Great service and responsiveness.

Efficient, timely, informative, friendly… and the pattern choices were amazing. We now have another room to enjoy for months.
