From Concept to Installation: What to Expect When You Work with Coastal Canvas Products
When you’re upgrading your home with a custom awning, retractable roof, or SummerSpace® Glass Enclosure, the last thing you want is a complicated or cookie-cutter process. At Coastal Canvas Products, we make it easy—from first consultation to final installation.
Since 1975, we’ve been designing and building custom outdoor living solutions, storm protection systems, and patio enclosures for homes and businesses across Savannah, Hilton Head, Charleston, and the surrounding coastal areas. Our approach is simple: tailor every project to fit your space, style, and needs—while delivering superior craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
Step 1: The Initial Consultation
Every great project starts with a conversation. When you reach out to Coastal Canvas Products, we’ll schedule a free consultation—either on-site or virtually—depending on your location and project type.
- Listen to your goals, ideas, and design preferences
- Assess your space and take initial measurements
- Discuss your options, from awnings to storm protection and beyond
- Answer any questions you have about products, materials, and timelines
Whether you're interested in a SummerSpace® Glass Enclosure, a custom aluminum awning, or a complete outdoor living solution, we’ll help you clarify your vision and determine what will work best for your home.
Step 2: Custom Design & Material Selection
Once we understand your needs, our design team gets to work creating a tailored solution that matches your space and style. Unlike big-box products, everything we do is custom fabricated—designed specifically for your home or business.
- A detailed design plan with sketches or renderings
- Material and fabric swatches to choose from
- Expert recommendations based on weather exposure, style, and function
- Optional upgrades like motorized retractable roofs, integrated lighting, or wind sensors
We’ll also walk you through how each product performs, including the benefits of aluminum fabrication for coastal durability, or how to pair awnings with patio enclosures for a cohesive look and feel.
Step 3: Precision Measurement & Fabrication
Once your design is finalized, we return to your home or site for final measurements. From there, our in-house team begins fabrication using premium, weather-resistant materials chosen to withstand coastal conditions. Because we fabricate in-house, we maintain control over quality and can ensure your product meets our high standards.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Installation is where your project comes to life. Our experienced, uniformed installers will arrive on time, ready to complete your project with care and professionalism.
- Clean, courteous crews that treat your property with respect
- Safe and efficient work practices
- Weather-appropriate scheduling
- A thorough walkthrough once the job is complete
Our team will ensure everything operates smoothly—whether it's a retractable roof, motorized shade system, or storm protection shutter—and that you know how to use and care for your new investment.
Step 5: Post-Installation Support
We don’t disappear once the project is done. Coastal Canvas Products stands by our work with reliable service, clear warranty information, and expert advice whenever you need it.
- Maintenance tips for long-term performance
- Warranty support and repairs
- Seasonal service for products like removable storm panels or fabric enclosures
- Easy reordering for additional awnings or accessories
