Salisbury Awnings & Patio Covers

Salisbury's got one of the best-preserved downtowns in North Carolina — and that means property owners care about how things look and fit with the historic character. A good awning complements the storefronts on Main Street instead of clashing with them, and it makes the residential neighborhoods around Catawba College and the historic districts look even better while providing real functional value.

Carolina summers don't care about historic preservation — they'll bake your porch, fade your outdoor furniture in one season, and turn west-facing windows into solar ovens that drive your cooling costs through the roof. Whether you're a homeowner trying to keep your porch usable past mid-morning or a business owner who wants outdoor seating that doesn't turn into an oven by lunch, a custom awning makes a huge difference.

Our residential awnings and patio covers drop deck temperatures by 15-20 degrees — suddenly your outdoor space gets used all day instead of being abandoned at noon. Protect furniture from fading and UV damage so it lasts for years. Shield windows from afternoon sun that drives up cooling costs and damages interior finishes. Cut your summer energy bills while making your home more comfortable and your outdoor investment actually usable.

For downtown businesses, restaurants, and retail shops, storefront awnings add street visibility and brand presence, create curb appeal that fits Salisbury's historic aesthetic, and give you comfortable outdoor space that customers actually want to sit in. Turn sidewalk into seating. Protect window displays from sun damage. Add signage and graphics that work 24/7.

We build everything custom in our Shelby shop — about an hour west — using commercial-grade Sunbrella and TempoTest fabrics that won't fade, mildew, or fall apart after a couple seasons. Ten-year fabric warranty. Aluminum frames powder-coated in over 100 colors to match your home or brand. We also do bahama shutters for that coastal-Carolina look with serious sun control and storm protection.
