Commercial Awning Removal and Replacement
To enhance the appearance of high visibility business and commercial buildings, many property owners believe awnings are a wise, long-lasting investment. But over time those awnings will age, fade, or become damaged and inevitably they diminish, rather than enhance the property’s appearance. Most frequently made of metal or canvas, time and weathering will also reduce the functionally of UV and snow or rainfall protection. Simple and economical new replacement awnings can breathe a fresh, attractive look that is sure to be admired.
How to Identify Commercial Awning Issues
As fabric awnings age, worn spots and splitting seams can be repaired as short term fixes. Rusty metal awnings can be repainted. However, when awnings no longer add conspicuous beauty, it’s time to remove and replace them. And, it’s important that the proper removal and installation methods are employed. Not properly removing your existing awnings can cause damage to the building exterior and make proper installation of replacement awnings all the more difficult.
Awning Removal and Replacement for Business and Commercial Properties
Installing replacement commercial awnings always starts with the safe removal of existing awnings. Not replacing an awning correctly may cause expensive, unnecessary damage to the exterior of your building, so before replacing an awning, it’s important to take the time to fix any existing damage to the commercial building’s exterior that may affect the new awning’s installation. Safeguarding the exterior during removal or installation will depend on your building’s exterior. Metal siding will require different skills than masonry. Also, the steps for installing replacement awnings depend on the type of awning selected and the building’s exterior soundness. The selection of a new awning type will depend on the climate of your location and personal preferences. Whether you decide to install a canvas awning or a metal one, it’s important to make sure the correct type of hardware and installation steps are used. Improper installation can be dangerous. Working with a professional commercial contractor who knows the proper installation methods – like those at CertaPro Painters® – can save you those headaches.
