A Family Business Built on Fair Pricing and Quality That Lasts
Sunbird Awnings & Shades is a family-owned and operated business with more than 30 years in the outdoor products industry. We treat every home like it's our own, because the people behind Sunbird are a family, not a franchise.
Where It All Started
In 1993, our family was shopping for a storage shed in Upstate New York and spotted an opportunity: quality outdoor products at fair prices were hard to find. We discovered the Amish craftsmen of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and what they built was second to none. That discovery launched Custom Sheds & Gazebos, a business our family ran for 20 years, expanding into outdoor furniture, playsets, and more.
When we relocated to Florida, history repeated itself. We went looking for a retractable awning and found the same problems we had seen decades earlier: poor salesmanship, inflated pricing, and quality that didn't justify the cost. Rather than settle, we kept searching, and found Aristocrat Awnings, an American-made product line with the craftsmanship and value we had built our careers on.
Sunbird Awnings & Shades was born from that search. The mission is simple: bring the best retractable awnings available to the Gulf Coast, install them right, and price them fairly, every time.
Run by Our Family, Every Step of the Way
Sunbird is run by our family, and everyone has a hand in it. That means when you call, you reach the people who own the business and stand behind every install. No call centers, no pressure, no passing you off. Just folks who care about doing right by their neighbors on the Gulf Coast.
What We Stand For
Fair Pricing
We give you our best price upfront. No negotiating, no games. You deserve to know what something costs before you decide.
Quality First
We partnered with Aristocrat Awnings because they build what we believe in, American-made, built to last, worth every dollar.
Family Values
This isn't a franchise. Our family is involved in every job. When you work with Sunbird, you work with us directly.
Proudly Partnered With
Aristocrat Awnings
Sunbird Awnings & Shades is a proud authorized dealer of Aristocrat Awnings, American-made retractable awnings, canopies, and shades.
Aristocrat is made by Craft-Bilt Manufacturing Company, founded in 1946 on a simple promise: a quality product, a safe place to work, and service that goes the extra distance. Craft-Bilt launched the Aristocrat awning line in 1986 and has spent nearly four decades refining it with equipment built specifically for retractable awnings. The result is widely regarded as one of the finest retractable awnings made in the United States today, exactly the kind of craftsmanship our family set out to find.
