ABOUT Discount
Awnings
OUR HERITAGE: Discount Awnings is a
branch of an awning company, EasyAwn™, which is a family
owned business with a sound foundation in the canvas awning
industry. The owner, Bill Bierbower, grew up working in the
family owned canvas awning business that was founded in 1946 as
Awnings by Schmitt.
OUR VISION: We knew that many awnings
for residential and commercial applications were often the same
size, style and color. We knew these could be designed to be
manufactured in higher volume with better quality and consistency,
and significant savings that could be passed on to the customer.
With a minimum sales charge of $350 for custom
products at Awnings by Schmitt, we knew many customers could not
afford the beauty, protection and cost savings of our custom
products. We committed to provide lower cost and higher
quality products than had ever been available. This early
vision led to a new company which was formed as EasyAwn/Discount
Awnings in 1991.
OUR GROWTH: EasyAwn, LLC. / Discount
Awnings is headquartered in Cumming, Georgia - Just North of
Atlanta. We are committed to providing great awnings at the
very competitive prices that are manufactured to the highest quality
standards, and backing that up with great service and support.
Each awning continues to be crafted with the highest attention to
detail - and GUARANTEED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. We learned
early that satisfied customers are better than any salespeople we
could ever employ at helping us grow our business.
OUR COMMITMENT: With a focused
commitment to God, our Families, our Company, and especially our
Customers - we continue as an innovative market leader with proven
products, great customer service and as always - GUARANTEED
SATISFACTION.
YOUR PRIVACY: Your privacy is as
important as ours. We do not sell, loan, swap or share our
customer information with anyone, in any way, Period.
