Why Capitol Awning

The Standard Other Companies Measure Against

Since 1947, Capitol Awning has been the contractor NYC’s most demanding commercial clients trust — from JFK Terminal 1 to Mount Sinai Hospital to independent restaurant owners across all five boroughs.

Million in Insurance Coverage — required for rooftop installs, high-rise projects, and major commercial work. We carry it. Many competitors don’t.

NYC Permitting Experts — we handle DOB filings, building requirements, and permit approvals in-house. Your project keeps moving.

Fully In-House Fabrication — we design, build, and install every awning ourselves. No outsourcing, no quality gaps.

Premium Materials — Sunbrella, Cooley, and Tempotest fabrics. Built to outlast NYC winters, UV exposure, and heavy use.

AutoCAD Design + Full-Color Renderings — you see exactly what you’re getting before a single piece is cut.
