Thank you to Calvin at Acme Awning for assisting me with recycling an old awning. He was professional and a great communicator. I definitely plan on seeking his assistance when I replace future awnings.

Need an awning? Definitely call Acme in Highland Park. Our awning (purchased from a company no longer in business) needed new brackets and Kris found and ordered the exact brackets we need. The installation team was excellent and our awning looks amazing again. Office manager, Peri, is organized and efficient with scheduling. We had a great experience with Acme.

Ordered a custom awning from them. Took twice as long as promised and then was poorly installed. When I complained, they were difficult and rude. Took multiple tries to get it right. It's still not perfect but I finally gave up. Avoid at all costs.

What a positive experience! I had a positive impression of Acme Awning Co from the very start based on my initial call to 'Kirk' who was both courteous and highly professional. Kirk answered all my questions and scheduled a service call immediately and at my convenience. He came out and was very knowledgeable and, as we discovered, thoroughly trustworthy. We had awnings which had been installed in the past and were subsequently taken down, washed and stored away because we had been convinced by a well-known, competing north shore awning company that their awning cleaning service was unable to get all the stains out and that our awnings were not suitable for re-installation . They of course sold us a whole new set of awnings for our house which have since seen their better days. I decided to look elsewhere to replace them as I had my suspicions regarding the previous company who seems to think they are the only awning company on the north shore. While we called Acme with the intent of purchasing all new awnings from them, my husband showed Kirk the previously stored awnings we still had: he checked out each one of them, said they were in excellent condition and were nearly pristinely clean. Instead of selling us all new awnings, Kirk scheduled his team to come out the following week to install our old, cleaned awnings at approximately 20% of the price new awnings would have cost. We saved a subst amount, the awnings look great and Acme came out at exactly the day and time scheduled, completIng their work efficiently and with great competence. We were so impressed with the superior level of service Acme provided and we couldn't help but remark how rare it is to find that kind of honesty these days. To top it off, Peri, who manages the office, is a delight to deal with, as well. I have already recommended Acme Awning Co. to other family members and I wish this independent business continued success. They've earned it!

This review is long overdue. We had several issues with the company that initially installed our awning. Long story short, we then called Acme. Let me tell you that they over delivered!!! They received and installed the parts before the projected date. They did a great job! It is now a year later and we could not be happier!

From the first time I inquired about awnings, I was steered towards the Acme co. When Peri began working with us, her ability to listen and feel where and how we wanted to go with the project, left an air of confidence that I had landed on the right craftsmen shop. The crew made sure that measurements were exact and that the graphic renderings Peri designed were spot on. Kris and Steve ensured a quality frame to support our 30' structure and Peri proofed the design several times to be certain the large awning would "Pop" while still being respectful of the building architecture.

I recommend Acme whole heartedly. We could not be more pleased with our experience and the finished product. They were extremely timely, professional and friendly. We got several bids for a patio awning and Acme was almost half the cost of the highest bid. Peri and Kris were great to work with. Our new awning was installed last week and looks absolutely great!

A+ experience from beginning to end. Nice workmanship replacing a commercial awning that had been damaged by a power washer. Perfect match to the others on our building. Expectations were exceeded & turnaround time was quick - thank you!

Excellent service, communication and craftsmanship. Family-owned business that has been in the area for decades - and that was important to us and our decision making process. They provided us with an updated canopy shade and new framework and we are extremely pleased with the final result. Would recommend.

I got my first set of Awnings fron Acme Awnings in 1996. Today they were replaced with new ones. Acme Awnings has always been great to work with. The Arend family was so helpful with assisting me with my selection. They look beautiful and really complete the look of my home. With my previous awnings they repaired and removed them for me Always so friendly and accommodating . I recommend them highly.

I don't review restaurants, I review the uncommon things that are uncommonly good and at some point very necessary. Like Acme Awning Co. run by Kris Arends. Old fashioned service, and as a family business Kris knows everything there is to know about fabrication, replacement and repair. I just had some snaps replaced and this small job was treated like it was mission critical. For your home, business or boat. They do it all right there.
