How We're Different

Ask our competitors if they: 

    FOR QUALITY:

 Send a Manager to conduct a site survey of your premises.

     
We send a manager to each job site to conduct a field survey before the work on your awning begins.  By doing so, we verify the dimensions and details of your order. Remember the old adage; "measure twice - cut once"!  

  

Prepare computer aided design (CAD) shop drawings.

Shop drawings of all orders are prepared for your approval before manufacture continues.

 Conduct Engineering evaluations of Awning weather worthiness. 

Can our competitors provide you with a wind load certification from a Pennsylvania licensed professional structural engineer for patio/deck Awnings???  WE CAN!!!  Our Awning frame structures and covers are constructed differently in many subtle ways in order to provide the greatest serviceability.

 Maintain a “Buy American” materials purchasing policy.

WE DO!!!  Many of the Fabrics we offer are made in North & South Carolina.  With the exception of our Valerium brand retractable Awnings, we try to source our tubular goods from manufacturers in Indiana and our fittings from a manufacturer in Ohio.  We look for American goods… even if they cost us a little more.

 Have a formal Employee training, evaluation & advancement program.  

WE DO!!!  The number one complaint Customers have about home improvement contractors is scary looking unqualified workers who show up at their home in beat up old trucks that leak oil on their driveways and leave a mess.  At Laurel Awning, all Installation Employees undergo a formal, detailed in-plant Awning installation & service training program conducted by Company Managers.  In addition to proper installation techniques, trainees are taught how to conduct themselves appropriately around Customers and while at Customer homes.  Our installation employees are required to wear uniform shirts & hats bearing our Company logo while at your premises so you may identify who is on your property.

What’s more, we pay our employees a living wage with full benefits to work at jobs that can never be “exported” to other countries or to the “Sun Belt”.  This makes working for Laurel Awning a very desirable job to pursue in our community.  Consequently we are able to be fussy about who we hire!

 Design and install complex multi level irregularly shaped Awnings.

WE CAN!!!  Many other awning Companies refer Customers to us for complex jobs because they know we are the only Company that can handle such jobs.  Take a look at our website Photo Gallery for examples of our work.

 Maintain a formal Manufacturing Quality Control Program.

WE DO!!!  Each Awning Cover that is delivered is accompanied by an envelope which contains Awning Care Instructions as well as a copy of the Quality Control Inspection Record prepared by our Cover Shop Foreman.

    FOR SERVICE:

 Can provide you with FULL SERVICE for your Awning(s).

WE CAN!!!  In addition to winter storage and repairs, we are the only Awning Company in our service areas that operates an automated wet professional awning deep cleaning and treatment department that utilizes chemicals approved by the fabric manufacturer. Other Awning Companies merely “brush” or vacuum surface debris from Awning covers.

Can provide you with an Insurance Certificate to assure you that your valuable Awning(s) are covered while stored with us over the winter.

WE CAN!!!  We maintain sufficient insurance coverage to replace any Awnings that might be damaged while in our care and will be happy to supply you with a certificate from our insurance carrier upon request.

 Assign you your own Customer Service Representative.

WE DO!!!  By having your own CSR when you order new Awning(s), you have your own point of contact inside our Company who’s always available to answer any questions you might have, deal with any problems that might arise & make sure that your job is completed appropriately.

 Have a way  you can check your job's progress whenever you want.

YOU CAN WITH US!!!  First, your CSR will be in touch with you to let you know how your job is progressing each step of the way!  What’s more, we offer an exclusive portal on this website where we post the progress of your job.  You may check your job’s progress at any time by clicking on Order Status on our HOME Page!

 FOR VALUE:

        Provide you with all this at a competitive price.

                     WE DO!!!
