The Mud Room
Virtually any high traffic entry like kitchen doors, back entrances and employee entrances can benefit from a mud room. In addition to creating a space outside of the entrance for shoes, coats, and other items, a mud room creates an area which protects a building from changes in temperature. In cold months, […]
Awning Fabric Replacement and Repair
The winter months are a great time to consider minor repairs or replacement of your awnings, patio covers and outdoor screens. You’ll want that sun toasting the patios, porches and sides of your home or business anyway to cut down on interior heating costs. Rather than trying to let it go for […]
Winter Patio Enclosures
Flexibility is the key to success in both the natural world and in business. In the winter when it’s cold, we put on a heavy coat. When the weather changes, we dress in layers to peel off or add on to adjust to the temperature. In business we plan a budget to […]

Shade Awnings – A Practical History
More than two thousand years ago, awnings were used by the Syrians and the ancient Egyptians. Made of woven reeds, the awnings were sometimes free-standing on poles to shade market stalls, to create shaded areas on river boats plying their trade on the Nile, and built out from doorways and portals.
