He does superb work. Even when our old cloth awning was installed, we knew we had been taken for a ride. It looked like a circus tent and we were never able to contact the company--they never returned our calls. Paul removed the old cloth awning and installed an awning that goes with our house. We couldn't be happier. He could not have been nicer. I would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: He removed the old torn cloth awning and installed a beautiful non-cloth awning over our front porch.

We called Paul about replacing an old worn out awning, but were also looking for alternatives such as a retractable awning, but something more permanent. Paul showed up in a pickup truck wearing work clothes. I was especially impressed since I wasn't looking for a suit and tie salesman who would send a wannabe installer out to do the job. He suggested an insulated patio cover that would be a permanent installation, and showed me a sample that he had in his truck. He explained in detail how the installation would go, and I was very impressed. I especially liked the idea of not having to store our patio furniture every Fall. He quoted us a price, and suggested that we check out his website, showing several of his installations. We liked what we saw, and gave him the order. After a short waiting period, he showed up with one other worker, and did the job in a very professional manner. During the waiting period, I had to call him on several occasions. If he didn't answer right away, he always got back to me later. We are very pleased with the installation, and would definitely recommend his services to others.
Description of Work: Furnished and installed an insulated patio cover.

Paul and his team were excellent! They had the awning up in less than 1 hour. They cleaned up and bagged all the trash for me. They also cut the delivery tubes in three pieces so the garbage collectors would pick them up. (They were 16 feet long and very rigid). I would hire them again.

Really excellent. I called around and got a few prices, Paul's was most competitive. They installed "freeport opaque" awnings, which have a really modern, sleek look, and also have these nice sky lights which let some of the light through. Great quality, great price, very good service overall.

Paul returned my call promptly and set up a time to come out and measure. He called ahead of time to let me know he was on his way, and arrived promptly. He did all of the measurements, and made some fabric suggestions. He very kindly came back when my wife was home, so she could make the final selection. (We went with his experience about a fabric which would show dirt less). We gave him a 50% deposit and he told us the awning would be ready in about three weeks. It was. He installed it yesterday, coming despite the bitter cold. It looks terrific, and is clearly much sturdier than what we could have ordered through the internet (the frame is welded). Paul's price also included removing our old awning. **By the way, if you don't receive his estimate by email, CALL him. He sent it out the same day he measured, but there was an error in the email address. Paul was very prompt, but we would have never known the email went astray if we hadn't called**
Description of Work: Looks great! He measured for / installed "staple stitched" (finished edges) canvas awning, and removed a beaten-up aluminum awning that came with our house.

He got back to me immediately after I left him a message. He scheduled the appointment and came on time. He gave me accurate information about the awning. He ordered it and it came within the time frame that he said, and then he came out and installed it. I was very satisfied with his service.

On Saturday, June 21, Paul came to my home to provide an estimate for three large exterior solar blinds for my deck and patio. He measured, provided product samples and said he would have an estimate the following Monday-Tuesday. Two weeks later I heard nothing from him so I reached out to him for a status of the estimate. He replied to my email saying he was out of town and would be returning July 14 and would get the estimate to me as soon as he returned. Today is July 21, one month later from original visit, and still no estimate nor communication of any kind.

Paul was very prompt in reply to my request. He is very knowledgeable and very courteous with his service. I would highly recommend Awnings by Paul for any awnings you may need. He quoted me a timeframe of 4 to 6 weeks and my awning was made and installed in 5 weeks. I will definitely use Paul again.

Provider was prompt, measured the space, returned in a couple of days with fabric swatches, and installed the awning when promised. In fact, he installed the awning even though we were not at home at the time. We had contacted the old well-known awning company in Pittsburgh twice and they never returned our call. The price for the awning by Awnings by Paul was VERY reasonable. If you're smart, you will get your next awning from Awnings by Paul.

Contacted Paul who was in Florida and he promised to take care of it on his return to Pittsburgh! He showed up February 4th, but the panel was frozen and he promised to be back in warmer weather which happened about a week later! True to his word, he reset the panel and used a device to attach it more firmly! Did not charge because he had installed the awning previously and was very gracious during the whole repair process!
Description of Work: We had a storm early in December or January that loosened a panel in our Aluminum patio awning! It slid down the awning and was in danger of falling off!

He was perfect, punctual, clean. It was like the dream kind of contracting person you want to work with. It really is nice. The one thing that was interesting, because we were sort of communicating via email. I had contacted him through Angie's List email, where you can go and send somebody an email. Then he was responding to me. At one point, I tried to get a hold of him while he was on vacation, but he got back to me even while he was on vacation. He came and brought samples. Everything he said he was going to do, he did. He was just delightful to work with.
Description of Work: He installed some framework for and a 12' x 22' awning, that comes down every season.

He was polite, on time, easy to work with, and did a beautiful job!
Description of Work: I called Paul for an estimate, and he came out the next day! I collected estimates from several companies to replace my extisting aluminum awnings. Paul had the best price. He let me know in advance what day he would be out and came exactly when he said. It took three non-consecutive days total. One day to remove awnings and two to put up the new ones. He always gave me at least 24 hours notice before he came. I had six awnings replaced in all. He gave me a choice of about ten different colors, which was great. I was disappointed he didn't offer dark navy blue, which is what I had before. But that wasn't on him, it is the manufacturer's choice. My only complaint is that one of his guys accidently damaged one of the plants by one of our windows with his ladder. Paul did apologize for this, though. There was also some paint from the old awnings left on the brick surface of the house I wish he would have cleaned off. However, he did drop the price several hundred dollars for me when I agreed to let him scrap the old awnings. He did a great job and I would recommend him to anyone and would use him again.
