About Tom's Awning
Since 2005
The Bay Area's Trusted Awning Specialists
Tom's Awning was founded in 2005 with a single mission: to provide the highest quality awnings, canopies, and shade solutions to homeowners and businesses throughout the San Jose Bay Area. What started as a one-man operation has grown into a full-service team of dedicated installers, designers, and craftspeople.
Over the past two decades, we've completed more than 1,000 installations — from small residential window awnings to large-scale commercial canopy systems. Every project, large or small, receives the same level of care and precision that has made us the region's most trusted name in shade solutions.
