Who We Are

Our History of Awnings, Canopies, Signs, and More

Since 1933, Thomas Awning has been the trusted name for awnings, canopies, banners, signs, and more in the area around Washington, D.C. With over 92 years of experience, we have designed, manufactured, and installed protection and marketing elements for some of the Capitol's most famous establishments.

Our customers have included every type of structure in the area. This includes embassies, country clubs, restaurants, exclusive shops, elegant residences, and even an airport or two.

Now in its second generation, Thomas Awning is a family business with a large staff of professionals and craftspeople. From concept to installation, we do it all. Our artists create the designs, our metal shop fabricates the frames, and our fabric shop cuts and sews the material. Every awning and canopy is fitted and tailored to perfection before it leaves our premises, assuring quick and trouble-free installation.

Local Service From Local Experts

While many of our competitors turn to outsourcing, we still manufacture shades, awnings, and banners in our own facilities. We have grown into over 10,000 square feet of production and office space located in Montgomery County, MD.

With a blend of old and new tech, our spacious shop uses computer-aided design tools to design awnings and create renderings to show clients in advance exactly what they will get. Old cotton canvas has given way to a variety of modern synthetics that are far more durable and attractive. The material is still sewn with time-tested machines and people, and the bulky but sturdy frames are still hand-wielded. Our skilled crews assemble the finished product on-site.

Thomas Awning is one of the few businesses in America still making its own awnings and canopies, which ensures quality craftsmanship and superior service for our customers. Past and current customers include Reagan National Airport, White Flint Plaza, Wheaton shopping districts, and many of the area’s major hotels, restaurants, and country clubs.
