Shade that looks great and works hard. That’s what our custom awnings bring to Lancaster homes and storefronts. Summer sun can bake south- and west-facing windows, drive up cooling costs, and fade furnishings. Retractable and fixed-frame awnings create comfortable outdoor rooms, cut glare, and help HVAC work less—all while adding curb appeal that fits historic façades and modern builds alike. We’re mindful of Lancaster’s downtown historic fabric and common permitting needs, and we tailor materials and mounting to brick, stone, and siding so installs are clean, sturdy, and code-friendly. From storefront coverage that welcomes shoppers to backyard pergola shades for long, easy evenings, we make it simple to get shade where you want it, exactly how you want it.
Lancaster’s story reaches back to the 1720s, when the settlement—first called Hickory Town—was laid out by James Hamilton and later renamed for England’s Lancaster, adopting the red rose as its symbol. It became a borough in 1742 and a city in 1818. During the American Revolution, Lancaster famously served for one day as the nation’s capital (Sept. 27, 1777) when Congress fled British-occupied Philadelphia, and later was Pennsylvania’s capital from 1799 to 1812. Today, Lancaster is the county seat and a compact, walkable city known for its markets, arts, and education anchors.
