A MESSAGE FROM LOUISIANA'S #1 BATON ROUGE AWNING REPAIR TEAM:
Baton Rouge, LA property owner,
We repair, recover and replace awnings for storefronts, restaurants and homes. Sound frames usually only need new fabric, which costs a fraction of a full replacement, and we will tell you honestly which one you are looking at before you commit to anything. We work across Baton Rouge and the towns around it.
Either the weather got it or time did. Wind and hail tear fabric and bend arms, and sun fades a colour until the whole storefront looks tired. The question is always the same one: is the frame still good. If it is, you are buying fabric, not a new awning. You want somebody who turns up, tells you straight what it needs, and does it properly the first time. The typical Baton Rouge property dates to around 1975, so the housing stock here is mostly seventies and eighties. With July highs near 92°F, heat and sun exposure age this work faster than the brochure says.
Somebody comes out, looks at the actual condition, and measures what is there. No quoting off a photo.
You see what the work covers and what it does not, so you can hold any quote next to it and compare like for like.
If it does not need doing yet, we will tell you that. If it needs more than you were hoping, we will tell you that too.
You might know this as awning recovering. Same work, either name. Everything below is work we handle directly, not passed to a third party.
Every awning gets field-measured, since frames drift out of square over time. Patterns cut from old fabric are unreliable because the old cover has shrunk and stretched.
Old cover stripped, frame inspected and repaired, new panels sewn or heat-welded and stretched over the bars. The most common commercial job by volume.
Rewelding cracked joints, replacing rusted outriggers, and repainting or powder-coating tube. Done while the frame is bare, because doing it later means pulling fabric twice.
Painted, heat-applied vinyl, or sewn appliqué copy and logos. Appliqué costs more up front and outlives applied vinyl, which chalks and peels at the edges.
Patching tears, resewing blown seams, and relacing fabric to the frame. Worth doing on fabric under about five years old and still holding color.
Taking the frame down, hauling it to a shop, and rehanging it. Some jobs are recovered in place on a lift when the frame cannot come off the wall.
A cross-section of the jobs we handle around Baton Rouge — different sizes, different conditions, same standard.
We work Baton Rouge and the towns around it every week. We also cover Central, St. George, St. Gabriel, Zachary, Prairieville, Baker, Denham Springs and Merrydale. We know what the buildings here are like and how they age.
Everyone who turns up is licensed, insured and ours. Nothing gets farmed out to a subcontractor we cannot vouch for.
Awning Repair is what we do, not a sideline bolted on to something else. Someone measures the frame in place, photographs the brackets and wall attachment, and confirms whether the frame can come down or has to be covered in place.
Quoted before we start, and held there. Anything that would move it gets shown to you and agreed before we carry on.
Anything to do with awning repair. To start with: frame survey and measurement, fabric recover on existing frame, frame repair and refinishing, graphics and lettering, spot repair and restitching, removal, disposal, and reinstall. If you need something that is not on that list, call and ask – we can usually quote it or tell you honestly who should.
We cover Baton Rouge, LA and the surrounding towns – Central, St. George, St. Gabriel, Zachary, Prairieville, Baker, Denham Springs, Merrydale, Addis, Brownfields, Gardere, Plaquemine, Port Allen, Monticello, Brusly, Watson, Erwinville, Gonzales, Rosedale, Walker, Slaughter, Sorrento, Livingston, French Settlement, and more. If you do not see your town listed, call anyway and we will tell you straight whether we can get to you.

Which one is right depends on what we find when we look at it, and we will walk you through the trade-offs rather than picking for you.
Frame survey and measurement is the one we are asked about most often in Baton Rouge. Every awning gets field-measured, since frames drift out of square over time. Patterns cut from old fabric are unreliable because the old cover has shrunk and stretched.
Most jobs land between $100 and $5,000 per awning frame, depending on condition and scope. We come out, look at it, and give you a written estimate at no charge. We are not the cheapest outfit in Baton Rouge and we will not pretend to be – but you will know exactly what you are paying for before anything starts.
Fabric grade and warranty: Solution-dyed acrylic and heavy laminated vinyl cost several times what economy polyester does, and carry five to ten year warranties instead of one or none. On a frame you plan to keep, the cheap fabric is the expensive choice. That is usually the biggest single swing in a quote, which is why we look before we price.
Yes. We stand behind what we do and we put the terms in writing with the estimate, so the guarantee is not a handshake you have to remember later.
Call us at (225) 432-1359, or fill in the quote form on this page. We will get back to you, set a time that suits, and come look at the job.
Free estimate, in writing, from a Baton Rouge team that does this every day.
Call us whenever suits. We handle every size of job, residential and commercial, across Baton Rouge and the towns around it.
