Storefront Shade From a Shop in the Valley
A fixed canvas awning stays where it is built. No motor, no arms, nothing to roll in at night. For a restaurant, shop or office in Los Angeles, that usually means more usable space out front without the cost of a renovation.
We make ours at 7053 Canby Ave. in Reseda, inside the City of Los Angeles, and we hold an LA fabrication license. The same team measures the storefront, builds the frame, sews the canvas and puts it up.

We are Los Angeles's premier awning company.
What a Canvas Awning Does for an LA Storefront
A canvas awning blocks UV and keeps the room behind the glass cooler, which cuts energy costs and protects merchandise from sun damage. It also gives a plain building some shape.
The look depends on the street. A Beverly Hills boutique might want an elegant scalloped valance. A café on Ventura Boulevard might want clean, modern lines. We draw the awning to suit the building and the brand, then pick the canvas color and the lettering to match.
Canvas and Frames That Hold Up in LA Sun
We use UV-resistant canvas that resists fading, stretched over reinforced frames built to handle the wind we get here. The awning lasts longer and costs less to maintain, and for a business owner that's where the value is.
Fixed-frame awnings are a big part of our work. Our project showcase has them on Gelson's Market, See's Candies, Trader Joe's, Corner Bakery and Panera locations, among others.

Permits, Neighborhoods and a Free Consultation
Our locally based team knows the building styles and permit requirements across Los Angeles neighborhoods, from downtown to the beaches. Inside the City of LA, zoning, the building code and how the awning attaches all shape the review. Cities like Beverly Hills and Burbank run their own. We work out what your address needs before anything is fabricated.
Book a free consultation and we'll come look at the storefront. Our Los Angeles certified team measures, builds and installs every awning out of the Reseda shop. Nearby: Downtown LA, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks and Culver City.
