Response from Superior Awning Inc
“Ridiculous price” is not a complaint we hear often. We are California’s largest manufacturer of fine custom shade products, with the volume and buying power to produce the highest quality awnings at highly competitive prices. While we have had an occasional caller with a specific need for a cheap and/or temporary shade product (which is not our market)...they usually understand very quickly that we build permanent, structurally-substantial awnings with the best warranties in the industry. When building weather-exposed structures, materials like corrosion-free metals, Sunbrella fabrics and lifetime thread make a huge difference in durability, utility and appearance. Yes, you can find cheaper products on the market...but you will not find an equivalent product at a better price than Superior Awning. Since on-site consultations are free, we invite quality-minded customers to get multiple estimates, make sure you’re comparing apples to apples, and decide for yourself who offers the best value for your money.

The awning removal process took place when scheduled. A 50% down-payment was due and paid. Once painting and gutter work was completed as scheduled, we had considerable difficulty talking with anyone who could commit to a time to install the new awnings. A young girl who answered the phone offered to take my name and have someone call me to set up an install time. As I was about to give her my name she said " wait, THEY don't even have a pencil here". I wasn't sure who THEY were, but I did not receive a return call after two days. I called repeatedly, talking with different voices each time, always being told to give my name and someone would call me and set up a time. We were anxious to finish the job before our scheduled vacation. After a week of this, we finally got a call and agreed on an install time for an afternoon the following week. Well after the scheduled time Superior Awning called saying they were running late and would not be able to install that day. However, we were told we were scheduled for their first appointment the next morning - about 8 AM. They did not show up, nor did they call. Our calls to their office said that the "they were running late and wouldn't arrive until mid-afternoon". So much for their plan that we were their first morning appointment. They did complete the install that afternoon. All of this is an old story experienced by most of us more than once. However, there are contractors out there that are prompt and communicate well - among them are Lou Lenz Painting Company and The Rain Gutter Specialist. They did our paint and gutter work on schedule and were very accessible to us. Superior awnings did a fine job restoring our two awnings, but their communication skills and promptness needs a lot of work. We could recommend Superior Awnings for workmanship - but if scheduling is critical, be sure to plan well ahead. We did this and were still disappointed.
Description of Work: The job was to remove two canvas awnings and their metal frames, refinish the frames, cover with new canvas fabric, then reinstall. The old awnings were to be removed prior to our house exterior being painted and the rain gutters removed and replaced.

The sales rep was a pleasure to deal with as was Customer Service. The installers arrived right on schedule and did a great job. They were done in less than an hour and the end result is gorgeous. They offered to fix the stucco from where we removed the old awning but we declined as our awesome handyman will be taking care of that. I would use Superior Awning again in a heartbeat. Can't recommend them highly enough.

They did a very good job. One of the awnings is 21 feet long and goes out about 15 feet. It has three metal poles on it and it is hooked to our house. It is huge. The other ones are on the side of the house and then we have one that is retractable.
Description of Work: They put awnings to keep the heat out of a new portion of our house that we added on.

A person first came out and measured everything and to help me choose and awning that would fit. He did not say whatever I wanted and I asked him what his opinion and he gave me one, which was really nice. He helped me pick out a color that would blend in and look good, but not in a pushy way. He was like a friend and he was really nice and said when it would be done. He left his card and phone number, so he was easy to contact. They came out when they said they would, did a really nice job putting it up and everything was perfect. I spent about $1600 on that service and I thought that it was reasonable.
Description of Work: I used Superior Awning Inc. in January and they put two canvas awnings on, one over the front porch and one over the deck.

I really like this company; they have a good web site which is important to me because I had to do everything from out of town. I selected a few fabric choices and they sent me samples in the mail (those took a while because they had to order them first). Once I selected the fabric everything went really smoothly and quickly. The quality of work was excellent. I would use them again, and even though it ended up costing me a bit more than I had planned on, the results were worth it (see pics).

Excellent service from the time that Jerimy Finger came out to give us a quote to the installation. They were prompt when they indicated a time to be here they were here. Something that you do not see this day and age. The materials and workmanship were excellent. The installers took the time that was needed to make sure the awning worked the way it was intended to and cleaned the area when they left. Can not say enough about the professionalism and promptness of this company.

We couldn't have been more impressed with Jeff's honesty and professionalism. While other awning companies were eager to do the work, regardless, Jeff explained why an awning wouldn't work over our door because of the degree of slope of our roofline and the area in front of the door. He said it would look bad and it would cause problems. We understood exactly what he was referring to when he explained. Wish ALL contractors could be relied upon to be so honest and professional!! If I ever have an appropriate awning project, this is without question the company I will use.
Description of Work: We were interested in having an awning placed above our front door to protect the area from water seepage. Jeff explained why an awning would not work well in that location.

We had three estimates to cover our back patio and this company stood apart from the start. They were friendly and accommodating to set an appoinment. The salesman knew the products well and had several ideas we hadn't thought of. Their paperwork was neat, professional and organized. Their licenses were all in order (we checked). Their price was in the middle but their turnaround time was the fastest and their overall impression on my husband and I was by far the best. The quality is top notch. Very pleasant experience all around.

I called Superior to make an appointment to get an estimate for May 8 at a specific time. When she did not arrive, I called the company and was connected with Carla who said she left a message to call her back. The message I got was "confirming our appointment today". The message said nothing about calling her back. She offered no apology, and wanted to argue about it but I went on to say that I wanted her to come that day, it was still early. Reluctantly, she agreed. Even upon her arrival, she offered no apology for the miscommunication and wanted to further tell me it was my fault for not returning her call. I refused to engage. Carla measured and gave me a price. I agreed, and gave her a 50% deposit. The installers came on May 14; a quick turnaround I thought, which pleased me. The curtain was too short. They remeasured and left. I was out of town for 2 weeks. The installers came back on June 1. The curtain was too long. They re-measured and returned the same day with a corrected curtain. ***On 7/6/09 I received a call from the owner of Superior, Bryan, who was very concerned when he read my review on Angie's List. After his call and his sincerity, I feel I could give this company further business.

I am looking for something to protect the substructure of a patio/terrace on the back of my house. The house is a vintage Tudor so I was hoping I might get something compatible to the style. The area that needs to be covered is a little quirky so I was looking for someone with the expertise to evaluate what will really work there. I was pleased with the rep. in terms of his punctuality and his ability to visualize what might work. Unfortunately, the suggested solution, which may indeed be the only thing that would work there, is a little too incompatible for the current structure since it is metal and too modern looking. I was hoping to get something in fabric but appreciated that the rep was able to size up the situation and decide that fabric would not work. At this point, we will probably not go with the cover, but may call the company for a couple of window awnings (while he was there, I requested an additional estimate for that).

The young woman who gave me the estimate certainly knew her craft and made a very exacting diagram of the awning and how it would be supported. The installers (3) were on time as scheduled and the main guy was a perfectionist and an expert in his job. Overall I was extremely pleased with the service and product.
Description of Work: Replaced an existing balcony patio awning and framework with new steel frame and supports and a new canvas awning of the highest caliber. The frame itself was a marked improvement over the previous one.,

Ultimately we were very happy with the final results, but there was some miscommunication along the way about our expectations, which led to them having to come back out and uninstall the awnings, take them back, repair them, and reinstall them a second time a week later. The most noticeable (and surprising) miscommunication was that they hadn't done one of their own recommendations, which was to install down tubes to keep the straight valence from twisting. On two awnings they installed tubes in the front, but not against the house, so the awning still twisted, and on the third awning, the installed the tube, but did not connect the awning to it, so it too twisted. The first time they reinstalled them, we were not home, or we would have noticed the problems at that time. That said, when I called to describe what we were not satisfied with, they immediately arranged a time to come out and take the awnings back and modify them. I followed up with a detailed fax so that there would be less chance of miscommunication, but did not get a confirmation from them that they understood the requested modifications. Because they only do work on weekdays, it was inconvenient because they required me to be there for a half day when they came to reinstall them. Had our expectations been understood, they would have been able to reinstall them without our being there, which we would have preferred. Also, when they first took down the awnings, the crew left the screws they had taken out in planters near where they had been, and some had been dropped and left on the ground. We mentioned this and were told they would be more conscientious the next time, but the second time they took them down, again they left the screws around. When they reinstalled them the final time, there were metal shavings left on the ground. Any one of these items was not that significant, but collectively it was enough that I could not justify an "A" rating on quality or professionalism when compared with other suppliers, despite their eagerness to make the changes once they had been told that we were not satisfied.
Description of Work: They removed three existing awning frames, repainted them and recovered them with new Sunbrella awnings, and reinstalled them on our single-story house. They made suggestions to improve the longevity of the awnings by installing wind pockets and installing short down tubes to keep the straight valence from twisting.

SUPERIOR AWNING removed my old patio awning one week and then replaced it with a new one the next week. Their workers were polite and very careful. I actually received an estimate from another company first, but after giving me an estimate, they called back and changed the material from the 8 year guaranteed vinyl to a 5 or 3 year guaranteed vinyl. But the price remained the same. I agreed to pay the higher price just to get it done. Then they called back to say they couldn't get the awning replaced before Christmas after all, and I would have to wait until next year. I said I'd let them know if I still needed their help. Then I called SUPERIOR AWNING who came the next day, gave me an estimate, returned the following week to remove the old cover and replaced it the following week. It was cheaper and more professionally done. We are VERY happy with SUPERIOR AWNING.
Description of Work: SUPERIOR AWNING came to my residence and measured my patio for a new vinyl rain-proof cover. They gave me an immediate estimate and then guaranteed the material for 5 years. They removed the old cover one week later, then attached the new cover the following week. Everything was completed before Christmas as I requested. They also used specially sewn sleeves on the cover to slip in aluminum slats that would be attached to the patio roof. Other companies just nailed wooden slats on top of the cover to hold it down. SUPERIOR AWNING'S WORK WAS QUICK AND PROFESSIONAL!

I called the top two rated awning companies in my area from Angie's List. The first one didn't want to come out to the house when I could meet with them (either early mornings or on during the weekend), but gave me an estimate over the phone. Superior Awning's representative did come to the house, recommended a color based on our home's color, and also gave us a great quote for the product (installed). Luckily, I happened to come home for lunch the day the awning was being installed. The workers had placed the awning so that the bottom of it was only 5'-11" high (my tall friends would have had to duck to get under it). Unfortunately the workers had already drilled holes into the stucco (stucco that was recently completed). However, the workers were able to use the left over stucco mix and repaired the old holes pretty well. Otherwise, the awning looks just as promised.
Description of Work: Superior Awning installed a 7' wide by 3' deep by 18" high awning out of sunbrella fabric.
