Austin Mohawk’s Canopies Are a Step or Two Better

In this industry, what you pay for is what you get. Considering the following, our canopies offer the best overall value.

  1. No Structural Failures – We read the newspapers and count the dozen or so canopies that have had structural failures this past winter. These failures involved a number of name brand companies but not a single Austin Mohawk failure. In fact, in our 30 years in the Canopy business we have never had a structural failure. We feel the reason for this is because we engineer that extra steel into the product to avoid such failures.
  2. On Time and Complete Shipments – We hear more often than not our competitors frequently do not ship 100% complete jobs. We also hear that we provide better packaging for our materials, which reduces incidences of damaged materials. If we ship it complete and on time, your job can be completed on time, the store can open on time, and you get paid on time.
  3. New Faster Quote Turn Around – It has been a long, arduous task but we have completed a complicated re-development of our Canopy “Quote Program”. This means we can now quote all but a few unique canopies much more quickly and accurately. Give it a try. I know our inside sales team is thrilled!
  4. A couple of not so little things that mean a lot:

    1. Our Canopy gutters are 10” wide where many competitors use a 6” gutter. Like L.L. Bean’s hands-on experience with the hunting shoes that built their company, our hands-on experience, strongly supported by installers, is that a wider gutter is easier to make leak tight when being installed. It is also easier to clean out over time.
    2. Speaking of gutters, our perimeter gutters are the same heavy 20 gauge materials as the decking, not a thinner 24 gauge gutter used by some competitors. The gutter may not look like it is a weight bearing area of the canopy, but the gutter is where the heavy ice and snow collect. It is this weight that breaks leak-tight seams apart and causes leaks. We feel our heavier gauge gutters pay for themselves at least once every winter!
  5. We are proud to hear installers tell us we do a better-than-competitive job of shipping our Canopy product, but we are always striving to be the best! In 2011, we are adding an in-house incentive plan to promote our goals.

Thank you for your support.

  • Our channels are Canopy 10 "wide, where most competitors use a 6" gutter. As experience with LL Bean boots hunting have built their business, our experience, strongly supported by the installers is that a channel width is easier to get tight when installed. It is also easy to clean over time.
