About AVI Design Awnings

Custom Awnings, Designed and Built in Nutley, NJ

AVI Design has been building custom awnings for New Jersey businesses and homes for over 22 years. Every awning we make is custom fabricated to your exact opening using Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic fabrics, powder-coated aluminum frames, or standing-seam metal. We do not resell off-the-shelf units. Each project is measured, designed, and built to fit.

Our in-house team handles site measurement, design, engineering, permit applications, fabrication, and installation. Commercial storefronts, restaurant patios, residential decks, window awnings, motorized retractable systems, and architectural door hoods are all built to match your brand, your building, and your local code.

We pull awning permits in Nutley, Bloomfield, Montclair, Clifton, and most Essex, Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic county municipalities. Sunbrella fabrics carry a 10-year warranty, our workmanship is fully insured, and every installation is completed by our own crews. If you already bought an awning elsewhere and need a professional install, we handle that too.

Common Questions

Custom Awnings FAQ

How much does a custom awning cost in NJ?

Custom awning pricing in New Jersey typically ranges from $800 to $3,500 or more depending on size, frame material, fabric grade, and whether the awning is fixed or retractable. Commercial awnings with custom graphics, lighting, or motorization run higher. We provide a clear written quote after a free site visit.

Do you handle awning permits?

Yes. AVI Design manages the full permitting process for commercial awnings across New Jersey. Cities we regularly serve include Nutley, Bloomfield, Montclair, Clifton, and many more across Essex, Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic counties. We prepare drawings, file applications, and handle municipal follow-ups so you do not have to.

What is the difference between a commercial and residential awning?

Commercial awnings are built to heavier specs for storefront wind exposure, often include branded graphics or illumination, and may require permits. Residential awnings prioritize shade, UV protection, and aesthetics for patios, decks, windows, and entrances. The frame gauge, fabric weight, and warranty terms differ between the two.

How long does awning installation take?

Most residential awnings are installed in a single day once the unit is fabricated. Commercial awnings typically take 3 to 5 weeks from approved design to installation, plus any permitting time. We provide a clear timeline upfront and keep you updated through every step.

What fabrics do you use?

We primarily use Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic fabrics, which carry a 10-year warranty against fading and degradation. For heavier commercial applications we also offer vinyl-coated polyester and metal standing seam options. Every fabric choice is matched to the climate exposure and use case.
