Our Story
A Family Business Built On NYC's Toughest Standards
Capitol Awning Company was founded in 1947 — just two years after World War II ended — in Jamaica, Queens. For nearly eight decades, we’ve been building custom awnings and canopies for the businesses and homeowners that make this city run.
We’re a family-owned operation, and that means something. Every project we take on gets the same level of attention, from a single storefront in Brooklyn to a multi-location national account across all five boroughs. We design, fabricate, and install everything in-house — no outsourcing, no middlemen, no quality gaps.
When other contractors walk away from difficult jobs — rooftop installations, complex DOB permits, tight Manhattan logistics — we get to work. We carry $5 million in insurance because our clients demand it. We know the NYC permit process because we’ve done it hundreds of times.

Why Capitol Awning
What Sets Us Apart From Every Other Awning Company In New York
Nearly 80 years in this business has taught us what NYC clients actually need — and what most competitors can’t deliver.
$5 Million Insurance Coverage
Required for rooftop installs, high-rise work, and major commercial projects. We carry it, and we can prove it. Many competitors don’t qualify for these jobs at all.
NYC Permitting Expertise
DOB filings, building management approvals, co- op board requirements, we’ve navigated all of it hundreds of times. We handle permits in-house, so your job doesn’t stall.
100% In-House Fabrication
We design, build, and install every awning and pergola ourselves at our Jamaica, Queens facility. No subcontractors, no outsourced fabrication, no quality gaps.
Premium Materials Only
Sunbrella, Cooley, and Tempotest fabrics. StruXure aluminum systems. Every material we specify is built to survive NYC winters, UV, salt air, and years of heavy use.
AutoCAD Design + Renderings
Before a single piece is cut, you see exactly what you’re getting — full-size engineering drawings and full-color photo renderings of your finished project.
Nearly 80 Years of Relationships
Our clients include independent restaurants, national chains, hospitals, property managers, and homeowners — many of whom have been with us for decades. That trust is earned project by project.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

have questions? Call us directly.
Do you handle NYC permits and DOB filings?
Yes — permitting is handled entirely in-house. We’ve filed hundreds of DOB permits across NYC and understand the requirements for commercial awnings, building canopies, and rooftop structures. This includes navigating co-op boards, building management, and landmark district approvals.
What areas do you serve?
We serve all five NYC boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island) plus Westchester County. For StruXure pergola projects specifically, we also cover northern Westchester. We do not service Long Island or New Jersey for most products due to dealer territory agreements.
How much does a commercial awning cost?
Commercial awning pricing depends on size, material, fabrication complexity, and installation requirements. A standard single storefront awning typically ranges from $1,500 to $6,000. High-rise or rooftop installations cost more due to logistics and permitting. We provide free, itemized estimates — contact us for a no-obligation quote.
How much does a StruXure pergola cost?
StruXure pergola projects typically start around $25,000 and range upward depending on size, configuration, integrated lighting, heating, and site complexity. Rooftop installations in NYC may carry additional costs for permits and logistics. These are high-value outdoor living investments — we’ll walk you through pricing clearly during your consultation.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, financing options are available. We offer a financing program that can help spread the cost of larger awning or pergola projects. Interest rates vary — contact us to discuss your project and we’ll walk you through the options available.
How long does installation take?
Most standard commercial awning installations are completed in one to two days. Larger projects, walkway canopies, or pergola installations typically take two to five days. Projects requiring permits may have a longer lead time due to DOB approval timelines. We’ll give you a realistic timeline before any work begins.
What makes Capitol Awning different from other companies?
Three things: we’ve been doing this since 1947, we fabricate everything in-house at our Queens facility, and we carry $5 million in insurance — which is required for the type of high-end commercial and rooftop work many of our clients need. We don’t outsource design, fabrication, or installation. Everything is under one roof, with one team accountable.
