Our Mission:

Leger's Awnings is dedicated to enhancing commercial properties with custom awning solutions that improve functionality, aesthetic appeal, and energy efficiency, creating inviting and professional environments.

Project Details:

• Client: RE/MAX Grey Bruce Realty Inc.
• Location: St. Clair
• Scope: Installation of Commercial Awnings
• Installed: December 2021

Our Process:

• Client Consultation: We began with a detailed consultation with the property manager to understand their vision and specific requirements for the awnings. This step was crucial for aligning our design with their aesthetic and functional needs.
• Site Evaluation: A thorough site evaluation was conducted to assess the condition of the existing awnings and frames. This evaluation helped us identify key areas for improvement, such as rust removal and outdated materials.
• Design Customization: Our design team created custom awning designs that provided a clean and uniform look, incorporating the property’s branding elements. Multiple design iterations were presented to ensure the final product met the client’s expectations.
• Material Selection: We selected galvanized frame awnings with backlit material and energy-efficient LED lighting. These materials were chosen for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and energy-saving benefits.
• Logistical Planning: To ensure the awnings were transported safely, we utilized an enclosed trailer to prevent damage during transit. This step was crucial for maintaining the integrity and appearance of the awnings.
• Frame Refurbishment: The old, rusted frames were meticulously cleaned and repainted in our steel shop. This step was essential for ensuring the longevity and durability of the frames.
• Professional Installation: Our experienced installation team carefully installed the awnings, ensuring they were securely attached and properly aligned. This step was crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and visual appeal of the property.
• Post-Installation Review: After installation, we conducted a comprehensive review with the property manager to ensure all aspects met their expectations. Any necessary adjustments were made to guarantee a flawless finish.

The Challenge:

The primary challenge was to update the rusted, outdated awnings while incorporating modern materials and energy-efficient lighting. Additionally, preventing animal nesting was a critical requirement that needed to be addressed in the design.

Innovative Solution by Leger's Awnings:

We developed a comprehensive solution that included the use of galvanized frames, backlit material, and energy-efficient LED lighting. The mesh soffit was an innovative addition that effectively prevented animal nesting, ensuring the awnings remained clean and functional.

The Outcome:

The new awnings have significantly improved the curb appeal and functionality of RE/MAX Grey Bruce Realty Inc. The clean, uniform look has enhanced the building’s professional appearance, while the energy-efficient lighting has contributed to cost savings. The property manager and tenants have praised the updated exterior, noting the increased aesthetic appeal and practical benefits.
