?...i hosed it off last year. It should be good for a while."
?...it just rained this week, so they look pretty clean."
If only it were that easy. A simple rinse, wheter by a hose or Mother Nature, can't remove all the dirt and build up on your awnings caused by everyday pollution. In reality, because of the condition of our environment, rain water can actually have an acidic affect on the fabric, trapping the dirt and grime, and eating away at the threads holding your awnings together. Replacing an awning will cost much more than what you would pay for an entire year of service with us. This amount of savings can fit into anyone's budget.
AWNING CLEANING
- Soaping & Brushing of top of all awnings
- Heavy rinsing
- Rinsing sidewalk after service
- Brushing of undersides (NOTE: This will only be performed if there are no obstructions, such as grates, electronic equipment, lighting fixtures or bird repellant devices.)
- Squeegee of windows upon request only.

Soaping & Brushing of underside

Application of Protectant Coating (NOTE: New awnings come with coating already applied. However, it does wear off over time. Fabric manufacturers recommend re-application about every 2 years.)

Complete window cleaning
To keep within your awning's warranty guidelines refer to your awning manufacturers recommended maintenance procedures. Let us know what you would like to set up. Any custom schedule is welcome.
- HIgh Traffic Areas - The pollution from the car exhaust is filtered through your awnings, which causes a building up on the fabric. The more cars, the more build up.
- Ocean Breeze - The ocean air can cause mildew to grow on your awnings, due to the constant moisture from the ocean waters. Also, the salt in the air can eat away at the fabric.
-
For most residential customers, we suggest 2x per year or annually cleaning, unless you live near a mayor boulevard or the ocean. In that case, Quarterly cleaning would be the minimum frequency.
-
For an average commercial building, quarterly cleaning is recommended or at the very minimum, 2x annually may be sufficient to keep your awnings sparkling.
-
For businesses in high traffic areas or with heavy foot traffic, we suggest no less than quarterly, but a more frequent service would be beneficial
