Your logo is cut and applied here, not sent out. That saves money, keeps turnaround quick and lets us stand behind the craftsmanship.

A graphics machine built for awning and canopy fabric, using 3M™ Scotchcal™ ElectroCut™ film.
Welded to the fabric

Metal awnings: aluminum & steelDo you need a permit for a commercial awning in Portland?
Often, especially for storefronts. Portland City Code Chapter 32.52 sets structural, clearance and maintenance standards for awnings, and attachments must meet the building code. We’ll tell you what applies to your building before you order.

Reviews from commercial customers
“Rose City Awning installed awnings at our Multnomah Village location to protect customers from rain. The work was excellent and the workers were very professional.”
“Our company has worked with Rose City Awning on multiple projects and I highly recommend them!… They are always eager to go the extra mile to come up with creative ideas to make our buildings look better without spending a fortune.”
“We ordered new awnings for our condominium property. The staff at Rose City was very helpful and patient including providing samples, measuring the current awnings and a prompt and efficient installation.”
Commercial awning questions
For owners, managers and condo boards. The shortest route to a bid is a straight-on photo of the façade.
Add photos in thecommercial bid formDo you work with property managers and condo associations?
Yes. We work directly with property managers, building owners and condominium associations, from measuring existing awnings and providing fabric samples to installation. Include the owner’s or manager’s contact when you request a bid, and see the permit notes above for storefronts.
Can you put our logo on the awning?
Yes. We cut and apply awning graphics in our own shop on an SGS 100 graphics machine, using 3M Scotchcal ElectroCut film welded to Sunbrella fabric. Nothing is outsourced, which keeps costs down and turnaround quick. Graphics can go on a new awning or a recover.
Can you recover our storefront awning with a new logo?
Yes. A recover puts new fabric on your existing frame, and we can add new graphics at the same time. If we built the awning, we likely have its specs on file and can recover it without taking it down to re-measure.
Do you build retractable awnings and screens for restaurant patios?
Yes. We install motorized retractable awnings and motorized screens for restaurant and venue patios. Mississippi Studios and Millennium Music have our motorized retractable patio awnings; Stormbreakers and Providence Park have our motorized screens.
What types of commercial awnings do you build?
Storefront and restaurant awnings on welded aluminum or pipe frames, entrance and walkway canopies, motorized retractable awnings, motorized screens, bolt-on metal awning systems and specialty fabric work such as industrial curtains.
