I had my Cape Cod-style home in Boston re-sided in February 2025. The existing aluminum clapboard siding was installed over 40 years ago over the original wood shingle siding from 1953. I had these replaced with vinyl shingle.
The original awning was over 40 years old and I wanted something as close as possible to it. General Awnings was the only place I could find that was very similar and fit the style. Pricing, ordering, and delivery was great.
Thank you for helping me create a "new" home that still reflects the look and feel of my 1950's Cape. I am delighted with it! I have received many compliments from my neighbors.

I liked the your Economy Awning, It was fairly easy to put up. I did make one mistake putting it up, I should have looked at the pictures closer. When I had the two side pieces together and tried to mount it to the mounting rail I tried to mount it to the top side of the rail. I cut into the starter Pan to make it fit. Oops! any way it still went well.
I just retired and have not had time to work on our old house until now. There was a old awning there but a lot of wood rot around it that needed replacement so I looked for a awning that was like the one we had. It is a small bungalow 624 sq.ft. that is 75 years old so it had to fit the look of the neighborhood. I really like the look and is much lighter then the one that was there. We shall see how the snow does on it.
Thanks for making a great product at a very very good price.
PS it was really great that there was all the parts there. There is nothing worse then when there is hardware or parts missing. Big thumbs up to the packers/sorters.

The awning is beautiful!!! It took my sider and one worker 1-1/2 hours to put it together and hang it. They were pleased with the awning when they were done. It was also shipped in time stated. Thank you.

The awning worked out nicely. I installed it over my basement door which faces a north west direction and it catches a lot of punishment from rain, wind and snow. Since installing your awning the door and the area below has shown a marked improvement in protection from the elements. I would recommend your products as the workmanship is first class and the installation of unit quite simple and homeowner friendly.

When I received the kit and tried to figure out how to assemble it I was thoroughly confused when I tried to follow your instructions that came in the box. Not only that but there were several extra pieces that were not used in my installation. This was not explained in the instructions.
The only saving Grace was your instructions that were online. By following them and almost completely erecting the entire awning in my garage floor it turned out to be a great investment. I wasn't about to start the early step that said to drill into my wall until I did the above.
I love it and give it a 5 for quality and final finish a 2 for ease of installation.
