Evanston Awning

About Us

Established in 1931, Evanston Awning Company is a family-owned business that has been providing sunshades and other coverings for decades. Edward Hunzinger, Jr. has been the president since 1981 and became the owner in 1992. His family history in the awning industry dates back to the mid-1800s, and he is proud to say that we are "one of the top awning companies in the Chicago area."

At Evanston Awning, we pride ourselves on our reputation, quality, and professional service. We would love the opportunity to work with you. Our services include providing different types of awnings such as residential, commercial, retractable, and custom projects.

Our Services

Residential Awnings

Our residential awnings enhance the architecture of any home and turn it into something special. Our custom awnings will help shade your windows, protect interior furnishings, and help control inside temperatures as much as 15-20 degrees. We will always have you covered on the inside and outside! Choose from a wide array of fabrics, colors, and patterns to meet your needs. Our awning materials are manufactured to be extremely durable and withstand harsh winters, hot sun, rain, and strong winds, of course, depending on the application.

The scope of our all-custom residential work covers window awnings, stationary door awnings, patio/deck canopies, screen rooms, retractable awnings, and canopies with manual or motorized operation. Residential design applications include, but are not limited to:

• Windows (Lift style, stationary, or retractable awnings)
