Commercial Contractors trust their awning projects to ArtBilt-Awnings; ArtBilt understands deadlines and accuracy with plans. As well as providing our services throughout the entire state, we often visit the larger cities in the Tampa Bay area . It is our awning products that you will see when you come out to visit Ocala's newest elite shopping locale, Market Street at Heathbrook.  We have worked directly with United American Realty to enhance the architectural style of the center. You can see our louvres on the walls at DSW, or enjoy the various shades and patterns of our awnings that are spattered throughout the marketplace. Incidentally, Market Street at Heath Brook is located just west of I-75 and East 350.

For all of the intricate details involved with commercial projects; unmoveable scheduled dates, building permits, engineered drawnings, and the ability to accurately interpret a contractor's plans, you need to be able to trust and rely on the company you choose.  ArtBilt-Awnings can take the pressure off; let the experienced, licensed and insured team handle everything. Artbilt- Awnings provide innovative, practical solutions to your architectural design needs. All of our designs meet building code requirements, and many satifsfy Miami-Dade requirements as well. Every year there is construction and renovation related fraud. This situation could be avoided simply by verifying that you are hiring a licensed contractor.

Since owning property for businesses as well as homeowners will surely be one of your largest investments, you want to maintain, if not enhance the beauty and value of your property. The hardest test when chosing a company for your awnings is to not automatically go for the cheapest bid or price. We all want to save money, especially in these lean times, but remember the old cliche, "You get what you pay for." Unlicensed contractors save on expenses since they don't pay for worker's compensation insurance, and they aren't bonded, but is that who you want to trust such an important job to? Please verify whatever company you select with the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation to establish they are licensed and properly insured. It only takes a moment, and can save you thousands of dollars and a lot of heartache.

When considering all of your options, here are a few things to remember:

• It takes hard work to obtain a contractors license - Aside from passing a detailed examination, applicants are subjected to criminal history background checks.
• Property owners can report contractors for misconduct or sub-standard quality
• Property owners are able to apply for compensation to the Contractor's Recovery Fund,

Commercial Carports and Walkway Covers - Tampa Bay Area

Artbilt-Awnings are a favorite among the public school system for installing their required walkway covers; since we are licensed and insured, and comply with the local building code requirements for the locale we will be working in. Along with the Florida school system, many other private and municipal organizations throughout the state come to Artbilt for their aluminum carport and aluminum walkway covers. Since we are a custom manufacturer, the selection of styles are numerous. We will build to your exact needs and specifications, always providing the necessary engineered drawnings to ensure a perfect fit as well as compliance with the local building departments. We guarantee our work proudly, using the most experienced craftsman to fabricate our products. We also take care of the required building permits, from applying for the permit, all the way through to the final inspection, eliminating the aggravation for you.

Aluminum walkway covers add value to your property, and with the option of so many styles, can accent you existing architecture as well. They have become quite popular, and almost expected in most commercial situations. Artbilt-Awnings have installed walkway covers in Jacksonville, Clearwater, Ocala, and many other major cities throughout the state. They provide protection for students in schools, employees at their workplace, patients and doctors at hospitals;  in all kinds of weather, sun or storm. For the school system they cover bus stops, sidewalks leading from building to building, access ramps, and give you a protected path to the parking lot. We have also provided carports for churches, hospitals, office complexes, industrial plants, and municipals, including the military. All of our walkway covers are strong enough to walk on, and contain the proper drainage system for rain, with almost no visibility of unsightly gutter systems.

Artbilt-Awnings have several styles of commercial aluminum carports, ranging in size from 2-3 vehicles all the way to accomodating the larger apartment and condo complexes. It is a known fact that renters are willing to pay a little more for the protection of their vehicles, and would prefer that protection more than saving a few dollars on their rent. With the unforgiving sun that Florida must tolerate, a carport preserves the value of vehicles, and reduces depreciation. Artbilt's commercial carports are used in many types of facilities, from the various types of residences aforementioned, to all types of municipalities. The advantage of aluminum is the fact that it never rusts, can be powder-coated in any shade desired; they are long-lasting with virtually no maintenance. With the light weight that aluminum carries, installation of our carports takes less time than other carports made of heavier metals, yet they hold up to our raging storms. You have many choices with your carport installation; we install free-standing carports, which will, of course, meet the Florida Building Code requirements, including the Miami-Dade area, and we can attach to your existing host structure as well. Another advantage to Artbilt being a custom manufacturer, we can manufacture "carports" that are large enough to protect boats, RV's, and even airplanes. With Artbilt's staff of experienced fabricators, the possibilities are endless, and your satisfaction is our number 1 priority. Artbilt-Awnings guarantees your satisfaction!
