Homeowners in Carlisle want shade that works as hard as they do—something that cools interiors in July, stands up to four-season weather, and looks great from the street. Our awning installs solve exactly that. We custom-measure for Carlisle’s mix of historic homes and newer builds, then fabricate durable, powder-coated frames with long-wear acrylic fabrics that resist fading and mildew. Motorized or manual, fixed or retractable, every awning is engineered for reliable wind performance and easy operation. Expect lower cooling costs, protected patios and storefronts, and year-round curb appeal. We handle permitting and HOA coordination, mount to masonry or siding safely, and leave you with a clean, warrantied installation that’s built for Central PA living.
Carlisle’s story stretches from frontier crossroads to college town and Army hub. The borough served as a Revolutionary War munitions depot and later evolved into Carlisle Barracks, among the nation’s oldest Army posts and today home to the U.S. Army War College. In 1783, physician and patriot Benjamin Rush helped charter Dickinson College, the first college founded after the new United States was formed. The town figured in national struggles too: in 1794, President George Washington gathered troops here during the Whiskey Rebellion, and on July 1, 1863—hours before Gettysburg—Confederate cavalry shelled Carlisle during the Battle of Carlisle. From 1879 to 1918, the controversial Carlisle Indian Industrial School operated at the Barracks; athlete Jim Thorpe’s teams drew national attention. Modern Carlisle pairs preserved architecture with parks, markets, and a vibrant downtown. Learn more at the borough’s official site and Wikipedia.
