AWNING PAINTING AND REPAIR

Carlson's Proficient Painting for Commercial Awning Painting and Repair Near St. Petersburg

A beautiful awning over any commercial property acts like a billboard to attract the eye of potential customers. The weather and elements in St. Petersburg and nearby towns cause awnings to fade or deteriorate. Painting and repairing damage to your awning keeps your property looking sharp and sends the message that your business cares about the details.

An Investment Worth Keeping

For many commercial property owners near St. Petersburg, awnings are a long-lasting investment. The cost of replacing an awning can be expensive. Reconsider replacing your awning as it is made of metal, aluminum, vinyl, or wood and may simply need a fresh coat of paint.

For example, removing a rusty metal awning could be time consuming and damage the building's exterior leading to costly repairs. Replacing it with a simple cloth awning may not have the same charm customers have come to love about your metal awning. Repaired and repainted, your awning can look like new. Before you remove and replace your awning, call the experts at Carlson's Proficient Painting in St. Petersburg.

We can help you pick the right paint colors and finishes to accentuate and protect your storefront's exterior. Many commercial property owners choose faux finishes that mimic the appearance of warm natural wood or patina copper. On-brand, bright eye-popping colors can grab the attention of customers quickly. It is just good business sense to invest in your awning's appearance.

Metal Awning Painting FAQs


What Kind of Paint Do You Use on Metal Awnings?

Use an oil-based paint over a premium primer. We suggest using two coats of paint. You'll want to wait until the first coat of paint is completely dry to the touch before applying the second coat of paint.

What Is the Best Primer for an Outdoor Metal Awning?

A premium primer designed for painting metal such as Rust-Oleum is the best choice for an outdoor metal awning. After gently sanding the metal surface with a 180-grit sandpaper apply the primer with a few thin coats. Allow each primer coat to dry completely before applying the next coat.

How Do You Prepare a Metal Awning for Painting?

After detaching, use a wire brush to remove stubborn dirt and areas where the metal has corroded. Patch any small holes with a metal patching compound such as Alvin metal repair putty. Allow the putty to fully cure before proceeding. Once the putty is dry, lightly sand the entire surface with 180 grit sandpaper. Use a rust treatment or other metal cleaner made to treat rust to thoroughly clean the surface. Then your metal awning is ready for painting.

Testimonials

  • reviewiconWe would give Carlson's 20 stars if possible!
    Eric and his crew were a pleasure to work with. He scheduled a day/time to come review the job. He was right on time! He kept in communication with his quote which was extremely reasonable, the timing of the job, and what we wanted for paint colors, etc. He uses high quality Sherwin Williams paint. On the first day of the job, he arrived with his crew, Eddie, Kurt and Mark to review the job with them. The guys were very professional, friendly, and paid attention to all the details. They cleaned up at the end of the day before leaving. They did an amazing job painting our condo. It looks brand new and we have had fun showing our neighbors and passing the word that they need to call Carlson's for their painting needs. (We live in a 55+ complex). We highly recommend Carlson's Proficient Painting. Thank you Eric and crew!!

    Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Negative: None Carlson's is not just Proficient, they're also Professional, Punctual and Personable, and, well, all around good guys. After getting multiple bids to paint our two-story house, we selected Eric and his crew. Not only did they offer one of the best prices, but they also provided the most detailed quote, as well as the most in-depth bid package from Sherwin Williams (which explained every step of the prep, repairing, sealing and painting process). It's obvious Eric truly cares about his work (and so does his crew). He's a man of his word, and won't stop until he gets it right. Integrity is a hard thing to find nowadays; Eric has it. We'll be using him again, and referring him to friends. We've had so many compliments on the job Carlson's did; heck, half the neighborhood wants him to do their houses!

    Mr. Carlson WAS ON TIME EVERY TIME!!! On our first meeting everything was explained, the time line the painting process the quality of the paint he would use and the equipment he would be using. Mr. Carlson also took the time to explain to my neighbors what he was going to do and any impact it would have on there property (there was none). The painting of my house meet all my expectations and more. No over spray on my plaints or grass, the cleanup process was undetectable! Mr. Carlson also painted my Aunts house with the same professional results. Job Well Done!

    If I could give Eric and Carlson's Proficient Painting SIX stars, I would. Reasonable prices, super efficient. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the results! Also, initially there was a little miscommunication about the color paint we wanted and he had already ordered the paint. However, he was super understanding and ate the costs of the other paint and ordered the paint we actually wanted without hesitation! He and his crew came back several times to do touch-ups to make it looks absolutely perfect. If you want a HIGH PROFESSIONAL QUALITY paint job at budget prices, Eric at Carlson's is your man!!
