Testimonials

For several years I have been managing my family summer home on Lake Erie all the way from Alaska. Twice a year I am in touch with the folks at Alexander Awnings scheduling my awning installation and removal. The staff is always easy to reach, helpful, communicative, and I always feel as if I am their only customer.

Thank you very much for your support, knowledge and skilled workmanship on the facade renovation at 48 Front St. in Thorold, Ontario. It is always a pleasure working with professionals who care about their clients and take pride in their craft. I’ve had many compliments on the building, most of them being on two styles of awnings installed on the ground and third floors. You’ve proven once again that we’re not just another job for you, the awnings are both functional and appealing to the eye, they are ‘the icing on the cake.’

Dave – what great service! Thanks very much. I don’t know if I ever told you how many compliments we get on our awnings. People walk by the house and tell me how great they look (from across the ravine). One lady even invited me to her house to see them. And another one told my neighbor that it looks like a resort over here. We are certainly pleased.

We have been enjoying our new sunroom for two weeks now. It has far exceeded our expectations. The personal attention we received in the planning stages was mirrored by the ease and efficiency of the installation. The installers were probably the best we have known to do work at our home. They were courteous, knowledgeable and answered all our questions, no matter how simple the question. Your dedication to your product and your job made the project a pleasure.

We have been extremely happy with the purchase of our awning from Alexander Awnings. Last summer we often would not eat outside on our back deck as it was just too hot. We would pull the drapes across the back sliding doors to keep the house cool and miss the beautiful setting sun. Now we extend the awning and open the drapes to allow the natural light to come into the house without the direct beating sun. I found that Dave listened to our specific needs and was able to design the right size awning with a drop down screen to solve our sunset glare issues inside the house and the extreme heat outside on the deck. Now we enjoy the beautiful setting sun over Lake Ontario from both inside and outside of the house with the drapes wide open.

Our Restaurant, @27 in Port Colborne was in need of a permanent awning for our patio. In early 2011, Alexander Awnings installed a permanent awning in order for us to maximize our patio usage. To date we are actually getting reservations requesting seats on the patio… something we have never had before. A side wall for windy days, extends it’s use as well. This was a great investment for our business and we had a great experience with this company.

I’m writing to inform you that recently my husband & I purchased awnings from Alexander Awnings & Sunrooms. I can’t tell you how very pleased we are with everything. The construction is beautiful and your crew that did the installations were professionals in their work, very clean and fast. I was most impressed, they were real great to have on our property. This has not always been the case for us in other situations. There isn’t a person that doesn’t go by that hasn’t made a compliment about our new awnings. It has made such a good impact on our curb appeal and our flower box under our front window. It also provides the shade we were both hoping for, and helps a great deal in keeping our home cooler, much more energy efficient. If more awnings are required I would most definitely recommend Alexander Awnings for any further purchases.

Alexander Awnings have been enhancing our windows for 16 years – their product is durable and beautiful – made with meticulous attention to detail – the staff are unfailingly helpful with selection, which is enormous, and their installers are expert workmen who know their stuff – our awnings have weathered many a storm with never a mishap – if you’re thinking about awnings – you couldn’t do better than Alexander’s… they extend that rare kind of service that makes the whole transaction a complete pleasure.

I am very happy with the new retractable awnings on the windows and deck – and several of the neighbors are too. I have received many favorable comments on how nice the awnings look and the improvement it makes on the appearance of the house. I am especially happy with the indoor temperature control gained by shading the windows from the sun’s heat. I have given the company name to two or three people who want to investigate similar installations for their homes. Thanks for all your help.
