Charlotte Tent and Awning was started by W.E. Price, making tents, awnings, and wagon covers. Hence the name, Charlotte Tent and Awning. The company was located on 4th Street and the telephone number was 343. In WWII Charlotte Tent and Awning supplied M1 carbine pouches for the military. Then in 1960 R.P. Steffey bought the company and moved it to W. Trade st. in downtown Charlotte.
Charlotte Tent & Awning Company offers a variety of awning products for your commercial building needs. We custom-build both canvas and metal awnings to your exact specifications. Our canvas awnings include traditional fabrics, such as "Sunbrella" and "WeatherMax", as well as back-lit vinyl fabrics.

Our goal is to make you smile, so we take our time to make sure we go through every step necessary in completing the installation from start to finish and leaving you with a worry-free result.
Just a quick note to say how much I appreciate Bek. I'm 75yo and often I'm talked down to, or otherwise treated disrespectfully. Bek is a shining example of professional, courteous, and friendly all at the same time. He's very knowledgeable and explains things so his audience easily understands the information.

Very professional company. They keep their promises. They show up on time and take care of their customer. They did a beautiful louvered canopy for us. They put it up in 2 days as promised, before the Christmas. Installing LED lights, on the other hand, took some time though due to some delivery issues however Bekir and Rodney was always in contact, and let us know the progress of the issue. Bekir is an excellent person who kept us in the loop during the process of installation, from the beginning of the project. Hard working guys! They are customer oriented. Excellent, excellent job!

Just a quick note to say how much I appreciate Bek. I’m 75yo and often I’m talked down to, or otherwise treated disrespectfully. Bek is a shining example of professional, courteous, and friendly all at the same time. He’s very knowledgeable and explains things so his audience easily understands the information. Kindness is his middle name. He has a genuine desire to please his customers and that ranks very high up on my list of attributes for a good salesperson. Thank you for sending him my way, and I’m hoping the 3other ladies I sent him to will also be getting your product.
Most sincerely

I understand that North Carolina is a fire at will but when you know you have hired a handicap person and notes need to be wrote to communicate with them and you say they were let go for refusing to do a task and no notes were written that's wrong. When a meeting has been planned and you only take the word of one person what happened that's wrong. Thank goodness concerns for the handicap person for his safety he told me when he was threatened. Place needs to do a surprise drug test on everyone.

I'm thrilled with my new awnings! Shane and Robby did a outstanding job with the installation and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Charlotte Tent & Awning Company for doing such an excellent job as promised.

15 years ago we got an Awing from you guys and had it replaced with a new one today. The whole experience was great. The quality of the material is really good and the installation was great. I know how hard it is to get good people and you hit a "home run" with Beck. He is personable, and obviously takes pride in what he does. If you ever decide to run him off send him to me. I'll take him in a heartbeat.

Had a problem with our Awning. Bek came out that day and took care of the problem. He was very professional and courteous. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Jeff came out and was able to beat all other quotes that I had been given. Very professional and a great company to work with. I will call Jeff for all my future awning needs.
