How to Get Your Quote in 2 Business Days
The 2-business-day clock starts when we have enough information to price the job. Here's what to send:
- Upload your plans. Architectural elevations, wall sections and the canopy schedule, if there is one. A marked-up PDF works.
- List the size and count. The projection, width and quantity of each canopy type, plus the mounting height or clearance.
- Pick a canopy style. Cantilevered, hanger rod, post-supported walkway or standing seam awning. Not sure? Tell us what the architect drew and we'll match it.
- Tell us what it attaches to. CMU, concrete, steel stud or structural steel. Wall type drives the brackets, anchors and engineering.
- Choose a finish. Give us a powder-coat color, or write "standard color OK" to keep things moving.
- Share the job location and date. The job site address, whether you need installation or delivery only, and when the canopies need to be on site.
Missing a few details? Send what you have. We'll send a budget number within 1 business day and confirm the firm quote once the open items are answered.

- Each canopy type with its size, quantity and support style
- Attachment scope: brackets, anchors, flashing and engineering, each marked included or excluded

- Installation or delivery terms for your job site
- A full schedule, not just one lead time

Canopies We Quote
- Cantilevered canopies for entries and storefronts, with no visible rods
- Hanger rod canopies that hang from the wall above
- Walkway canopies on posts, for covered paths between buildings or to parking
- Standing seam metal awnings on aluminum tube frames, with 24-gauge standing seam roofs
- Custom canopies built to the architect's design
Tips to Keep Your Quote Fast
- Confirm the wall type early. Questions about the wall cause more delays than anything else. If the plans don't show it, a photo of the existing wall helps.
- Use standard parts where you can. Standard profiles, rods and colors price faster and build faster than one-off details.
- Name one point of contact. We'll have a question or two. Same-day answers keep you on the 2-business-day track.
- Ask about stamped engineering. If your city requires sealed calculations, tell us up front so they're in the quote and on the schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I get an aluminum canopy quote?
Sharchs sends a firm aluminum canopy quote within 2 business days of receiving complete plans. If you need a number sooner, or some details are still open, we can send a budget number within 1 business day.
What's the difference between a budget number and a firm quote?
A budget number is a price range based on rough sizes and stated assumptions. It's good for early planning and owner budgets. A firm quote is a fixed price with full scope, attachment details and schedule, ready for a bid or contract.
What do you need to quote an aluminum canopy?
Send the plans or elevations, the size and count of each canopy, the support style, the wall type, the finish color, the job location and your required on-site date.
Can you quote from a sketch or photo instead of plans?
Yes, for a budget number. A sketch with rough sizes and photos of the wall are enough to start. A firm quote needs dimensions and the wall type confirmed.
What counts as a business day?
Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Plans received after 4:30 PM Central count as received the next business day.
How long does it take to build the canopies after I approve the quote?
Submittals usually take 7–10 business days. Production runs 8–10 weeks after submittal approval. Expedited production is available.
Do you install, or only fabricate?
Both. We install in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico, and ship fully fabricated canopies anywhere in the U.S.
Do you provide engineering?
Tell us whether your project needs stamped calculations. We'll include the engineering and attachment details in the quote so they're clear before the job starts.
