Our Story
Covering the Carolinas since 1977.
A second-generation family business, built one awning at a time — from Cape Fear to the Lowcountry.
Who We Are
The Carolina coast's trusted source for outdoor living.
Wilmington Awning, Shutter & Shade has been the Carolina coast's trusted source for custom outdoor living solutions since 1977. For nearly five decades, we've specialized in fabric and architectural awnings, decorative and hurricane-rated shutters, motorized screens, and a full range of shade systems — all designed to keep your home or business comfortable, stylish, and protected year-round.
As the area's leading fabricator and installer, we combine premium products with expert craftsmanship to ensure every project is seamless from start to finish. Each solution is custom-tailored to your space, with a wide variety of styles and colors available to match your exact needs.
Our team is made up of full-time, year-round employees — never subcontractors — and every member is fully covered by Worker's Compensation and Liability Insurance. When you choose Wilmington Awning, Shutter & Shade, you're choosing a company committed to quality, safety, and service you can trust.
Shade Coast
A growing footprint, the same standard of work.
In February 2023, Wilmington Awning, Shutter & Shade proudly acquired Shade Coast, formerly Affordable Awning Systems, a trusted name in the Grand Strand and Lowcountry. With this addition, we can bring the same quality products, expert installation, and dedicated service to customers from Myrtle Beach all the way down to Hilton Head.
Whether you're looking for shade solutions, hurricane protection, or motorized screen systems, our combined teams deliver the region's best outdoor comfort and protection products.
Our Process
Five steps from "what if" to "we love it."
We've made the path from idea to installation as straightforward as the products we build. No pressure, no surprises — just expert design, careful fabrication, and a crew that does what it says it will.
