If you want beautiful, long lasting awnings that really fit, this is the place to have them made…read more They use the best quality sunbrella fabrics that don't fade, and lifetime thread that really holds up in harsh weather. I have seen awnings made by another company, and they sag on the side, and just don't have the good, tight fit that Nicewonger's do. Their service is excellent, and they come within a couple weeks after your request, to hang them. Other companies sometimes make you wait six weeks to put them up. Nicewonger gives top priority to the customers who have had their awnings made by them. You may pay a little more, but if you want awnings that look great, last for many years, and like good service, this is the place to call!

We have hired Dean for many projects and he exceeded expectations every time. He has done beautiful…read moreawnings for us but he does so much more than awnings. He installed a handicapped accessible railing outside and inside for my parents to navigate our steps. He pressure washed and painted our fence and also pressured washed our bricks and our driveway and walkway. We plan to hire him this summer to install a patio cover and a new railing on our front porch. His prices are very reasonable for top quality work and that is so important in today's economy. You don't often find reasonable prices and quality work together. Would highly recommend Dean for any project.

They installed the valences and later an entrance double-scalloped canopy on my club with custom painted graphics and a gilded paint logo with excellent results. Kirk can do anything you describe for him. They do any private estates and clubs in the Ligonier area. There is a wait when they get very busy during the seasons of taking down and putting back up in fall and spring and there is a wait to get on their Pittsburgh schedule. It's worth it though. When I had a complicated job another company came up with a large canvas funnel that was unsightly, but Waugaman figure it out quickly and came up with a great proposal.

I am unsure what the other horrible review is from... because that is NOT what I have witnessed!…read more I bought a home with an awning. The previous homeowners used a different local company to take care of their awning. I found that they were so unprofessional. When it came time to get a new awning, I shopping around. I went to three different companies to get bids. Venango, while not the cheapest I found (and also not the most expensive), came out on top with professionalism and kindness! Today, March 26, 2020, I had my new awning placed. And, I couldn't be happier. I went through the process with Mike, the owner. He came to the house a few times to speak to me and show me the book of fabrics. Mike was just great. He understood what I needed and that the awning needed to be adjusted for my very tall husband. When the crew came today to do the work, I was pleasantly surprised with their professionalism! They spoke kindly and worked tidy. I wasn't uncomfortable being home with only my kids while strange men installed my awning. When they left, you would have never known anyone was here, aside for the awning, as my porch wasn't a dumping ground for cable ties. I am blown away by Venango! My awning is stunning. The work was impeccable. The people are just plain nice. I am thrilled. I will always go back to Mike and his crew for more shade work. They did an outstanding job.

The "service" rep even forges your authorization signature on his iPad.
