Founded in 1870 in Chicago, Illinois, United States Awning Company has a rich history of producing innovative shade solutions for both residential and commercial clients. Initially established as The United States Tent & Awning Company, the company adeptly adapted its offerings from canvas tents for outdoor events to modern shade technologies, ensuring its longevity despite challenges like the Great Depression. In 1957, it relocated to Sarasota, Florida, where it capitalized on the thriving tourism industry, particularly servicing the Ringling Circus, which greatly influenced its growth during that era.
Today, United States Awning specializes in the design, fabrication, and installation of a wide range of shade products including fabric and metal awnings, retractable awnings, aluminum pergolas, and motorized louvered roofs. As the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of Sundance Louvered Roofs in Southwest Florida, the company is at the forefront of the outdoor living and shade solution market.
United States Awning operates with a commitment to quality, service, and innovation. All products are made on-site, ensuring excellent craftsmanship and durability. The company has also fostered partnerships with local businesses and is continuously involved in community initiatives, reflecting a deep commitment to its roots. With over 150 years of experience, the company not only enhances outdoor living spaces but also contributes to architectural aesthetics, making it a preferred choice for contractors, building owners, and homeowners alike. Customers can explore the wide range of options in their Sarasota showroom, or they can request quotes for custom solutions tailored to their specific needs.
