Design · Fabrication · Installation — Windermere, FL

Take back
the afternoon.

Custom aluminum awnings, canopies, and hurricane-rated shutters — designed at your kitchen table, cut in our Windermere shop, installed to the inch. Aluminum won't rot like wood or rust like steel.

What we build

Sun and storms. Built for both.

Awnings & Canopies

Fixed-frame awnings and walkway canopies that turn a west-facing oven into an outdoor room. Engineered shade — you can measure it in degrees.

6063-T6 extrusion · Powder-coat finish

Bahama & Louvered Shutters

Code-rated shutters that look like architecture and work like armor. Permit-stamped, inspector-ready, shading your glass all summer.

FL product approval · Code-rated

Integrated LED Lighting

Low-voltage LED channels machined into the frame at fabrication — not clipped on after. Your patio keeps working after sunset.

12V low-voltage · Dimmable

Design & HOA Packet

A scaled rendering of your own patio before you commit — and a submittal packet your HOA board can approve in one meeting.

The shop

Designed here. Cut here. Installed here.

Meridian isn't a parts reseller. Every awning, canopy, and shutter starts as raw extrusion in our Windermere shop — which is why the corners are mitred like furniture and the fit survives an inspector's tape measure.

01

Design

In-home consult. We measure, listen, and render your actual patio — you approve the drawing before anything gets cut.

02

Fabricate

Cut, mitred, and welded in-house. Powder-coated to the color your HOA already approved.

03

Install

Permit-stamped and installed to the drawing. We leave a clean patio and a paper trail.

The HOA letter, handled.

Drawings, wind-load calcs, spec sheets, submittal forms — and any revisions the board asks for. Our packets get approved because they answer the questions before they're asked. You never write a word.

Hurricane season

Protection first. Decoration second.

Bahama and louvered shutters give you engineered shade all summer — then close over your glass when a storm gets a name. Your insurer knows the difference between decorative and code-rated. So does the wind.

  • Code-rated aluminum, through-bolted to structure — every unit carries a Florida Product Approval number
  • Permit and inspection handled by us, start to finish
  • Shade by June. Protection by September.

After sunset

The sun sets. Your patio doesn't.

LED channels are machined into the canopy frame during fabrication, so the light looks built-in — because it is. Warm, dimmable, and sealed against Florida rain.

The same structure that gives you back the afternoon keeps the table set past nine.

Word of mouth

Three patios, back from the sun.

"Our HOA is famous for saying no. Meridian's packet cleared the architectural board in one meeting — and the awning matches our bronze window frames exactly."

Bianca F. Keene's Pointe, Windermere

"Our west patio was a four o'clock oven. Now we eat dinner out there every night. The mitred corners look like furniture, not hardware."

Wendell A. Gotha

"They rendered our exact patio before we paid a dollar. What got installed is what was on the drawing — down to the light channel over the grill."

The offer

See it on your house before you buy it.

The design consult is free and happens at your place. We measure, we listen, and we send you a scaled rendering of your own patio with the structure on it — plus a fixed quote. You commit when you can see it.

Service area

Eight towns. A dozen boards.

The fine print that matters here: every one of these towns has HOA boards and permit desks with their own tastes — Keene's Pointe alone reviews down to the fastener finish. We've filed with most of them, and the submittal packet is our paperwork, not yours.

Start here

Start with the consult.

Tell us what the sun is doing to your patio — or what a storm could do to your glass. We'll call the same day, book a window, and show up with a tape measure.
