The Abercrombie Hotel – Broadway – Heritage Replication
We had Shelter Awnings undertake a complete replacement of the heritage awning to the Australian Hotel in Chippendale. Camille, Nathan & Cameron showed great care and attention to detail throughout the entire process. From taking the lead in structural design, heritage coordination as well as being involved in safety risk workshops, the Shelter Awnings team provided a phenomenal full package service leaving both builder and client very happy. Considering the amount of detail required for this project, It was very clear that Shelter Awnings are a team of specialists in in the supply and installation of awnings. I would highly recommend the team for any similar work in the future.

The Downing Centre – Heritage Restoration
The team at Shelter Awnings have been fantastic to work with throughout the refurbishment of the Downing Centre heritage awning. Nathan has taken control of the project with exceptional site management, maintained worker safety and overall an end product that perfectly meets the design brief set out by the heritage architects. The knowledge and methodology provided throughout the duration of the job has made it much easier for myself and the team at Intermain to manage the project from a high level and we look forward to working with the team again!

Shelter Awnings have completed a number of complicated awning projects for AJ Bristow and Sons. All aspects of their service including site safety, structural design, certification, fabrication, installation, liaison with local authorities, obtaining permits and traffic/pedestrian management and working in congested CBD situations, has always been consistently professional, reliable and to high quality standards. Complex and difficult jobs are not a problem. Nathan, Camille and Cameron are a pleasure to work with and are highly recommended as your preferred awning contractor.

Just a quick note to both congratulate and thank yourself and Camille on the work completed at Aaron’s Hotel. The scaffold and gantry have been removed on this large heritage listed building and the results are amazing. The work that Shelter Awnings completed was not only timely, clean and professional but the advice we, the builder received on ways to solve problems left not only Structor, but our engineers and heritage architects in awe.

Workhouse – Sussex St – Haymarket
Shelter Awnings was instrumental in the design and making of a beautiful and meaningful street awning, which was a significant part of the refurbishment of a commercial building in Haymarket Sydney called WorkHouse. Despite challenging and relentless site and building conditions, including strict council requirements, Shelter Awnings kindly assisted us in making the impossible, possible. Their lateral thinking and solutions were invaluable. The final outcome was second to none in terms of quality and attention to detail. The conscientious team of Shelter Awnings was also friendly and fun to work with. We consider our long-term relationship with Shelter Awnings as important. Not only that we cannot recommend Shelter Awnings highly enough, but we also swear by it!

Berowra Heights
I had the pleasure of contracting for the first time Camille and Nathan from Shelter Awnings to complete a substantially sized awning to the shop front, as part of our commercial/residential project at Berowra Heights. Their pricing, workmanship, completion timeframe and general demeanour at this project was excellent. It was very refreshing to see a contractor who was very honest in their work whilst being very good at what they do. The very large and high awning seemed to go up effortlessly. I sincerely thank the boys at Shelter Awnings for their professionalism and will have no hesitation in contacting them on the next project.

Fendi – RJA Collaboration
RJA engaged Shelter Awnings to undertake our latest Luxury Shop Fitout on one of Sydney CBD’s busiest junctions, the awning stretched across 2 street frontages and was installed on an extremely old heritage building. The team were extremely professional all across the board, their onsite management, safety, high quality, and ongoing ability to work with local architects and engineers was what really stood out the most. The expertise and knowledge that Shelter Awnings provide is an important reassurance to have in this industry and certainly made the project easier for myself and the RJA team. I look forward to working with Shelter Awnings again in future!

Rose Bay
It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for the team at Shelter Awnings. We manage a strata building in Rose Bay that has a large awning on 3 sides of the building that needed major works. We had various quotes and from the beginning Shelter Awnings stuck out in the forefront, due to their prompt service, professionalism and knowledge of the works, together with the best way to work with council to get the approvals needed. From start to finish they kept us, the strata manager informed of the progress of works and any unforeseen challenges they faced. They were flexible in their approach and offered quick solutions, supported by photos and worked with the engineer efficiently to achieve the works needed. They went the extra mile in order to deliver the project to the highest standards and for that we are extremely grateful. Shelter Awnings were referred to us and we would be more than happy to give a reference or talk to anyone that is thinking of using them. Thanks again to all and look forward to working together again. Well done!!!

Dunkirk Hotel – Pyrmont
Shogroup Hotels went about an extensive due diligence process in selecting an awning repair, maintenance and construction outfit at the Dunkirk Hotel. Shelter Awnings came highly recommended and I was immediately impressed with their work at other hotels in Sydney. Upon acquiring the hotel, heritage listed pub was in a derelict and unsafe state and from day one the team were always on the front foot ensuring coordination of council approvals and permits, our timetable, and workplace safety. These guys are specialists in what they do and we could not be happier with the result. That’s why they’re the best at what they do.

I really appreciate that you worked through the details with us to achieve the right proportions and especially the vast knowledge you brought to the job. We look forward to working with you again on future projects.

Haymarket
It is with pleasure that we provide a recommendation for Shelter Awnings. Back in 2020, one of the commercial buildings under our management required a new awning. We were very impressed and completely satisfied with their professionalism, quality of work and consistent communication throughout. From the beginning, we felt very comfortable with their approach. They also kept us informed the whole way through. The project manager, Nathan Rahme, made sure we were up to date in what was going on and also what was needed from us, such as choosing colours, placement of new lightboxes. Any arising problems were dealt with little disruption and concern to us. Since then, we have been using Shelter Awnings for other projects. We would highly recommend Shelter Awnings.

St Ives
Shelter Awnings did a terrific job on the 5 x Retail Awnings on our mixed development project at 169-177 Mona Vale Rd, St Ives. They took care of the whole process from detail design, supply, manufacture, installation and certification. The Shelter Awnings team worked in with us seamlessly and were great to deal with on site. Thanks again to Camille and his team for a great outcome!

North Bondi
Engaging an awning contractor was something quite daunting, at least initially. Not knowing what to look for or what questions to ask made me feel vulnerable. Our job was not necessarily straightforward, with a number of factors including the age and condition needing to be considered as part of the process. A contractors dream in many respects when it comes to costing up a job… In saying this Nathan, Camile and Cameron were exceptional from the outset, explaining the process (upfront) and making us comfortable with the manner in which they would approach the job at hand. They also kept us abreast of the progress and considerations for the job working through the project so that we were aware. Read More

Raglan St, Manly – Restoration + Eave Replacement
We had Shelter Awnings complete an awning and later Eave replacement. With major tenants very sensitive to disruption and much pedestrian and vehicle traffic to be considered Shelter were able to complete on time without any compromise to workmanship. Working on a thirty year old Building near the ocean Nathan’s team was confronted with many unforeseen Remedial issues which they dealt with efficiently and professionally. I have dealt with other companies and have found Shelter to be the best in this field.
David Ryals | Principal – Red Property
Gordon – Pole Cut
Shelter Awnings is hands down top of their field.10/10. We had used a couple of other contractors before working with Shelter Awnings but none were as professional and at a competitive price. For modifications on existing awnings there is no one better. From the start of the job with complying paperwork to being self-sufficient to Engineers certificates for all works completed for us. All projects we have done together have been completed within the time frame and to a very high quality of workmanship. I wouldn’t look any further than Shelter Awnings.
Wayne McAulay | Director – CIVX Pty Ltd
Mosman – Awning Restoration
We had Shelter Awnings conduct remedial works to the current awning at Mosman Mews. From the first meeting when Nathan attended to discuss the proposal with all Owners, the works were advised in great detail and with great confidence. From the beginning to the end of the works, the team conducted the works with great professionalism and excellent communications along the way. The works completed is exactly what was explained from the outset. The Strata Committee made no hesitation to recommend Shelter Awnings to anyone. From the Strata Committee of Mosman Mews.

Woollahra
Located in Woollahra Council’s Heritage Conservation Area, Shelter Awnings completed two entry awnings to the 1930s brick residential flat building to a very high standard. A more contemporary addition, Shelter Awnings demonstrated a high level of attention to detail. Shelter Awnings are a professional, reliable and experienced company.

Shelter Awnings were engaged by Christie Civil to complete the modification of an existing awning along Devlin Street in Ryde. Nathan and his team completed a very professional job in a timely manner meeting all of the requirements of TfNSW along the way without issue. They provided exceptional service and both ourselves, TfNSW and the building owner were extremely happy with the outcome! We would have no hesitation in recommending Shelter Awnings in future!
