Contact: (215) 334-3220 | Fax: (610) 284-4323 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday to Friday 8:00 AM–4:00 PM
Humphrys Awnings has served the area since 1874 and builds long-lasting awnings backed by strong warranties.
Their acrylic fabric comes with up to 12 years of coverage for color fading and manufacturing defects. It’s also great that their welded seams and stainless steel hardware are backed by a lifetime warranty.
They provide prompt quotes and handle any warranty disputes locally, which makes the process easier.
One homeowner we spoke with who recently hired Humphrys to cover a large backyard patio also praised the durable hardware and solid workmanship.
Just be aware that the warranty doesn’t transfer if you sell your home. You may also need to pay labor or shipping costs when replacing warranty-covered parts.

Terrill and James did an excellent job installing my awning. They were kind and professional instructing me about operation and answering all questions. They were very efficient and made sure to leave my place clean. The awning looks beautiful! Highly recommend.

“Excellent Awning Installation and Service”
Thanks so much to the Humphrys associates Terrill and Moutez for the excellent work they did on putting up my beautiful awning. First they arrived ready to work. They took their time and examined the place where the awning would go then proceeded to place it. After that Terrill put extra caulking around the gap between the wall and the awning which keeps the rain from seeping under the awning. I am well pleased. Thank you for such good work? It’s well appreciated! I would use your services again and let my neighbor’s see for themselves the great job done.

2. Phoenix Awning Company
Website: phoenixawningco.com
Address: 5145 North 2nd St.
Contact: (610) 296-4647 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday to Friday 9:00 AM–6:00 PM | Saturday 9:00 AM–4:00 PM | Sunday 9:00 AM–1:00 PM (Other Hours by Appointment Only)
If you want to improve your storefront or backyard without going through a middleman, Phoenix Awning Company is a good choice.
From what I’ve seen, they design, build, and install each custom awning themselves, which helps them keep a close eye on quality and offer strong warranties for both the materials and the installation.
Their solution-dyed acrylic fabrics last through Philadelphia’s changing weather. They also use their knowledge of local architecture to design custom awnings that fit each property.
They even handle the electrical work for motorized systems, so you don’t have to find another contractor.
The best part is that most projects are done in a single day, usually just a few weeks after you place your order.
On the downside, they only serve customers within 40 miles of the city. Also, their limited weekend hours can also make scheduling a visit more difficult.

3. Paul Construction and Awnings
Website: awningsdeckspatios.com
Address: 4093 Skippack
Contact: (610-287) 1623 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday to Friday 9:00 AM–5:00 PM
Paul Construction and Awnings makes outdoor projects easier by handling engineering, design, and construction in-house. This makes them a convenient choice for patio shade additions or projects involving home builders in Philadelphia.
What I like about their approach is that they hand-draw custom designs to match each home’s layout and back their work with a lifetime workmanship guarantee.
Beyond the design process, they’re actually one of the country’s largest retractable awning installers and offer smart home integration. Plus, the team’s knowledge of local permitting rules can also help projects move forward more smoothly.
However, they install only Sunesta products, which limits brand choices. Weekend closures can also make consultations harder for busy homeowners.
Customer Reviews
“Fantastic Job and Knowledgeable Service”

Address: 2520 Orthodox St.
Contact: (215) 798-3849 | Fax: (215) 289-2110
Hours: Monday to Friday 7:00 AM–2:00 PM (Available for Emergency Calls)
East Coast Awning is a good option if you need an awning project started quickly. They offer free same-day estimates, return calls within 24 hours, and provide emergency storm service when needed.
Along with fast service, their team brings more than 100 years of combined experience. They also back their work with a 10-year warranty against chipping and peeling, plus a two-year installation warranty.
Another helpful feature is their one-day installation service, which a customer praised for being quick and leaving no mess behind. Their Philadelphia location also makes visits more convenient.
Keep in mind, they close early on weekdays, and custom awnings usually take about two weeks to manufacture before installation.
Customer Reviews
“Quick and Professional Awning Installation”
Great experience with East Coast Awning..Dominic came to my home in Pennsauken NJ gave me an estimate and less than 3 weeks later my awnings were ready to be installed. His team came out and did an awesome job! Highly recommend.

“Great Value and Upfront Pricing”
East Coast Awning was a pleasure to work with. Their price could not be beat on an aluminum awning to cover my back door and bilco door on my twin home. Dominic (owner) was upfront, gave a free estimate, and delivered on time. Removal of my old one, and installation of my new one went very well. I would highly recommend them for any aluminum or fiberglass awning.

5. GENE LOCKHART & SON
Website: genelockhartawnings.com
Address: 3029 Ruth St.
Contact: (215) 423-1213 | Fax: (215) 423-5622 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday to Friday 8:00 AM–4:30 PM
Gene Lockhart & Son has served the community for more than 50 years, building custom awnings with durable galvanized Schedule 40 piping.
I particularly like that they create each canopy on-site and reinforce key stress points to help installations handle strong winds and storms.
They also offer a 5% discount for new customers, seniors, veterans, and first responders, making outdoor upgrades easier on your budget.
Even better, their team also provides year-round service and promises to respond by the next business day if you have questions.
However, they only install stationary canvas awnings, so they may not meet every project’s needs. The shop is also closed on weekends, which can make scheduling harder.
Customer Reviews
“Custom Awning Installation and Service”
We now live near West Point in NY. Lynn sent a crew to spec out my custom awning, then they came back a second time to do the install. We’ve used their product for 15 years. My mom In Philly has been with them for 40+. Great to deal with.
- Lily Winters | Google Reviews
“Amazing Customer Service and Repair”
When it was time this winter I ordered a new one, Lockhart put it up last summer and this winter the squirrels got to it. Holes as big as a watermelon. They came to the rescue again buy repairing my brand new awning and making it look like new. Yesterday they put it up and just charged a rehang fee. I was flabbergasted. I cannot give enough praise to this company for its amazing customer service dept. Love you guys!
