Metal Awning Replacement – Perfect Style & Color Match for Side Entrance

Damaged Metal Awning Replaced with a Seamless Match

When a metal awning above a side entrance becomes damaged, it’s more than just a cosmetic issue. Awning systems protect entryways from rain, snow, and harsh weather — but they also play a major role in the home’s exterior appearance.

In this project, the existing metal awning above a side door had been damaged and needed full replacement. The homeowner’s biggest concern wasn’t just functionality — it was whether we could match the existing style and color of the home’s exterior metalwork.

The short answer?

Yes — and the result exceeded expectations.

Damaged Metal Awning Above Side Entrance – Before Replacement

The original metal awning above this side entrance had visible damage and wear. Years of exposure had compromised both its structure and appearance, leaving the entry unprotected and visually inconsistent with the surrounding metal-wrapped windows.

A closer look at the existing awning shows the deterioration and color fading. The goal was not only to replace the damaged section but to ensure the new installation would seamlessly match the existing exterior metal finishes.

New Custom Metal Awning Installed with Precise Color Match

The newly installed metal awning provides clean lines, improved durability, and restored protection over the entrance. Careful attention was given to matching both the style and the existing exterior metal wrap for a cohesive finish.

Custom-Fit Metal Awning with Coordinated Window Wrap Finish

From this angle, you can see how the new awning integrates naturally with the metal-wrapped windows. The consistent color and trim profile create a seamless transition that enhances the overall exterior aesthetic.

Precision Color-Matched Metal Awning Detail

Detail work matters. The final result delivers a strong, clean edge with a color match that complements the surrounding exterior metal elements — a finish the homeowner complimented multiple times for both style and accuracy.

Did We Match the Awning?

Matching exterior metal isn’t as simple as picking a “close enough” color.

We carefully selected materials that matched:

• The original awning style

• The exact tone of the existing metal

• The metal-wrapped window trim surrounding the home

• The overall architectural look

From profile shape to finish sheen, every detail was considered to ensure the new awning blended seamlessly with the existing exterior.

After installation, the homeowner complimented the match not once — but five times — specifically noting both the style and the color accuracy. That kind of feedback tells us everything.

When exterior elements don’t match, even slightly, it can make a home look pieced together or recently patched.

A proper match:

• Preserves curb appeal

• Maintains architectural consistency

• Protects long-term property value

• Makes repairs look intentional, not obvious

Our goal on every exterior repair or replacement is simple:
Make it look like it was always meant to be there.

Precision Exterior Work in Northeast Ohio

Weather in Northeast Ohio is tough on exterior metal features. Snow loads, wind, and seasonal expansion can all cause damage over time.

Whether it’s awnings, metal wrapping, trim, or siding details, we focus on durability and visual consistency — not shortcuts. This project is a great example of how attention to detail makes all the difference.

If you’re wondering whether damaged exterior features can truly be matched — the answer is yes, when it’s done correctly.

At DLR Construction, we don’t aim for “close enough.” We aim for seamless.
