Lenoir Awnings & Patio Covers

Lenoir has a long history of making things — furniture, textiles, craftsmanship. We respect that. We're The Awning Shop, based in Shelby, and we've been building custom awnings since 1984. Same kind of work ethic, same attention to detail, same commitment to building things that last instead of things that look good for a season and fall apart.

Carolina foothills summers are no joke. Between the heat that makes your patio unusable after 11am and the afternoon thunderstorms that come out of nowhere, your outdoor furniture and front porch take a beating. Without proper shade and protection, deck furniture fades in one season, windows bake all afternoon driving up your cooling costs, and your outdoor space becomes a place you avoid instead of enjoy.

A good residential awning or patio cover changes all that. It'll drop the temperature on your deck by 15-20 degrees, keep rain off your grill and outdoor furniture, protect your windows from UV damage that fades carpets and furniture inside, and cut your cooling bills all summer long. You get outdoor space you'll actually use, furniture that lasts for years, and a home that stays cooler without cranking the AC.

We custom-build every awning in our Shelby shop — about an hour from Lenoir — using commercial-grade Sunbrella and TempoTest fabrics. These are the same materials used on high-end boats and resort canopies, rated for 10 years but honestly, most last way longer with proper care. We've got over 100 colors and patterns to choose from, and we can match just about any architectural style from historic homes to modern builds.

For homeowners, we do door and window awnings, patio covers with optional retractable curtains for wind and rain protection, and bahama shutters for serious sun control with coastal style. For businesses, we do storefront awnings with custom graphics, backlighting, and signage that turns your awning into a 24/7 marketing asset. Great for restaurants, retail shops, and professional offices.

We serve homeowners and businesses across Caldwell County, from downtown Lenoir to Hudson, Granite Falls, and out toward the High Country. Give us a call and we'll drive over to measure your space and talk through your options.
