Custom Awnings in New York City

Built for the building they go on, not cut down from a standard size.

Built for your storefront,
not off a shelf

A custom awning can completely change the look of a storefront while also giving customers protection from sun, rain and the weather. At Sign It NY, we build awnings specifically for the building and storefront rather than trying to make a standard size fit.

Some customers come to us knowing exactly what they want, while others just know their storefront needs an upgrade. We can help figure out the style, size, material and colors that make the most sense for the space.

Most of our awnings are completely custom. We look at the width of the storefront, projection, mounting height and overall proportions so the finished awning looks like it belongs on the building.

Materials and construction

We offer traditional fabric awnings as well as more architectural-looking options. Frames can be fabricated from galvanized steel or aluminum depending on the application, with a large selection of fabric colors and finishes available.

Lettering, logos and other branding can be incorporated directly into the awning.

Sizes and typical setups

There really isn't a standard size. A small entrance may only require a compact awning, while a restaurant or retail storefront may need an awning running across most of the building.

We regularly work with restaurants, retail stores, schools, commercial properties and residential customers throughout New York City and the surrounding area.

Lead time

Most straightforward custom awning projects generally take a few weeks once measurements, artwork, colors and materials are finalized. More involved fabrication or specialty materials can require additional time.
