When the beautiful weather on the East End gets a little too hot this summer, an awning can be the perfect remedy. Instead of retreating to an air-conditioned house, spend more time outdoors under the shade of an expertly installed awning. For helping East Enders stay cool—and protected from skin-damaging intense afternoon UV rays—these awning companies have been awarded the title Dan’s Best of the Best.

William Mills & Co. (74100 Main Road, Greenport, 631-477-1500, millscanvas.com) provides not only awnings for your home or business, they have tents, umbrellas, shelters and bags as well as sails, sun tops and a variety of covers for boats, large and small. No wonder William Mills & Co. is Dan’s Best of the Best platinum winner on the North Fork.

East End Awning (Red Cedar Road, Southampton, 631-725-8210, eastendawning.com) takes the gold because of its fantastic awning and quality service guarantee. All of the awnings purchased with this company come with a 10- to 15-year parts and labor warranty. Professional and friendly work is what’s in store with East End Awning.

For a pleasant and worry free installation, Brock Awnings (211 East Montauk Highway, Hampton Bays, 631-728-336, brockawnings.com), silver honoree, promises to do just that when a customer purchases their awnings. Architects, builders and interior designers alike recognize Brock Awnings’ reputation for excellence.

Located on the South Fork, The Awning Company Inc. (1668 Bridgehampton/Sag Harbor Turnpike, Sag Harbor, 631-725-3651, theawningcompany.com) is the platinum pick for a reason. This company provides not only awnings, but also umbrellas, storm shutters and awnings for all types of custom areas.

CE King & Sons (10 St. Francis Place, East Hampton, 631-324-4944, kingsawnings.com), winner of the gold, has served East Enders since 1948. With the use of the finest materials for creating awnings, freestanding canopies, shutters, window treatments and marine canvas this business is sure to meet customers’ every need.
