SPRING AWNING SEASON
WEATHER PERMITTING…
Installation will begin mid to late March or early April and continue through mid June. We will make every effort to have your awnings installed by Father’s Day.
If your awnings are stored at your home, you MUST call or email to schedule for installation. However, if we will be in your area for other installs, we will call to see if we can add you to our schedule.
If your awnings are stored at Kaplan’s, your awnings will be installed automatically. All special requests require a phone call or email and must be made by March 15.
A PHONE CALL IS REQUIRED IF:
1. Work is being done on your property and awning installation would be inconvenient or impossible.
2. You are having a Party or Special Event.
3. Road closures near your home.
Please Note:
We do not accept specific date or week installation requests. We will only accept requests made before March 15.
If you have moved or no longer own the property, please contact our office immediately.
FALL AWNING SEASON
WE WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY REMOVE ANY AWNINGS.
YOU MUST CALL TO HAVE YOUR AWNINGS REMOVED.
WEATHER PERMITTING…
Removal will begin UPON REQUEST and will continue until servicing is complete.
If you need to have your awnings taken down by a certain date, a minimum 4 weeks notice is required specifying the date.
We will only take down awnings when they are dry – otherwise they may become moldy if stored wet. Our schedule may change due to Mother Nature.
We do try, over the winter, to do any necessary repairs to the
awnings we service. We will contact the customer for authorization if there will be a charge.
We at Kaplan’s, appreciate your patronage and hope to continue serving your awning needs.
