Awnings
Custom-Built for Strength, Style and Shade.
At Mid Michigan Awning & Upholstery, every awning begins with a concept and ends with a handcrafted structure built to last. Whether for your home, business, patio, or storefront, our awnings are designed to add beauty, functionality, and protection from the elements, all while standing strong against Michigan’s toughest weather.
Each project is custom-built in our Alma, Michigan shop, where our skilled team combines precision craftsmanship with industry-leading materials and techniques. From design to installation, we make sure your awning looks great, performs flawlessly, and lasts for years to come.
Awning Construction
Built Right Here in Mid-Michigan.
Every awning we build starts with a photograph, design concept, or on-site measurement and ends with a custom creation designed specifically for your space. Using high-grade aluminum and TIG welding, we create lightweight yet incredibly strong frames that never rust, even in harsh outdoor conditions.
We’re so confident in the quality of our frames that we back them with a lifetime warranty. Aluminum’s ability to bend, flex, and return to shape ensures long-term performance—even through Michigan’s wind, rain, sleet, snow, and occasional ice storms.
Designed to Last
Every awning we create is more than just a cover, it’s a carefully engineered system built for strength, longevity, and aesthetic appeal.
We take the time to understand your goals, create detailed renderings before production, and ensure the finished product enhances your property while performing for years to come.
No matter the size or complexity of your project, we’ll make your concept a reality, crafted locally, built to last, and backed by the quality Mid Michigan Awning & Upholstery is known for.
Our Staple-In System
A Smarter Way to Build Awnings in michigan.
Instead of using older sewn or laced systems, we use a modern staple-in method that significantly improves the strength, appearance, and longevity of your awning. Here’s how it works:
- The fabric is stapled securely into the aluminum tubing, locking it into place.
- A Zip Strip is then inserted into the channel, sealing it to keep out moisture and debris.
- This system prevents dry rot, extends the canvas lifespan, and allows for easy fabric replacement or repairs.
With proper care, you can expect your awning fabric to last 10–15 years or more, depending on exposure and weather conditions.
Stationary & Retractable
Style and Function for Every Space in michigan
We offer both stationary and retractable awnings, giving you flexibility to match your needs and environment.
- Stationary Awnings: Custom-built aluminum frames with fabric or metal coverings, perfect for windows, doors, patios, and commercial storefronts. These are fabricated in our shop and installed on-site for a perfect fit.
- Retractable Awnings: Ideal for decks and patios, providing shade when you want it and open sky when you don’t. We proudly install Future Guard and Mary Grove Awnings, known for superior construction, reliability, and long service life.
Our retractable systems are built from high-quality materials, not mass-produced, lightweight alternatives, and are designed to withstand the elements when properly retracted and maintained.
Premium Materials That Perform
We believe in using only proven, long-lasting materials. For most stationary awnings, we rely on Tempo Test and Sunbrella® fabrics, two of the most trusted names in the industry. These fabrics offer exceptional UV resistance, vibrant color retention, and strength that stands up to wind, rain, and sun.
Tempo Test fabrics are known for their durability and wide range of colors and patterns, perfect for both homes and businesses.
Sunbrella® fabrics come with a 10-year warranty and have earned a reputation for incredible performance and fade resistance. Many of our customers have shared stories of how their awnings have survived years of use, and even some unexpected “tests” from falling debris or construction materials!
Quality That Lasts
Every project that leaves our shop reflects the craftsmanship and pride that have built our reputation over the past 40+ years. We use only premium materials, such as marine-grade canvas and vinyl backed by 8–10 year warranties, so your upholstery will look great and perform well for years to come.
While warranties can’t cover “acts of nature” like animal damage or extreme weather, our team is always ready to help with repairs and patching to extend the life of your covers or upholstery. From boats and farm equipment to home furnishings and commercial seating, we believe quality work brings quality results, and that’s what we deliver every time.
