Welcome To The Cushion Doctor
Awning Repair in Sarasota
Florida weather destroys awnings. That constant sun, the afternoon storms, the occasional hurricane scare… it all adds up. Torn fabric, busted seams, frames that won’t retract properly. We fix all of it.
Small tears turn into big problems fast once water starts getting in. We repair torn fabric and fix separated seams before the damage spreads. Sometimes a good repair saves you from having to replace the whole thing.
A bent or damaged frame is more than annoying; it’s a safety issue. Frames that don’t operate smoothly can fail, usually at the worst possible time. We repair and restore frames so they work the way they’re supposed to.
Sometimes the fabric is just done. Sun-bleached, brittle, torn in multiple places. When that happens, we can replace it with new material that’s actually built for Florida conditions. Fresh fabric can make an old awning look brand new.
Fixed awnings, retractable awnings, canopies, shade structures… we work on all types. Each one has different stress points and failure modes, and we’ve seen most of them.
Florida Takes Its Toll
Awnings in Florida have a tough job. They’re protecting your windows and doors from that brutal afternoon sun, but they’re also taking the full brunt of UV exposure themselves. Add in storms, wind, and general wear, and it’s not surprising when things start failing.
The good news? A lot of awning damage is repairable. Tears can be patched or sewn. Seams can be reinforced. Frames can be straightened and adjusted. You don’t always need to start from scratch.
When we take on an awning repair, we look at the whole setup. Sometimes fixing the obvious problem isn’t enough if there’s another failure waiting to happen. We’ll point out anything else that needs attention.
How It Works
Give us a call and describe what’s wrong with your awning. We’ll need to come look at it to give you an accurate assessment and quote.
We’ll tell you what we can fix, what needs replacing, and what it’ll cost. Then you decide if you want to move forward. Simple as that.
About Us
We do upholstery work on furniture, boats, RVs, and outdoor stuff. Awning repair fits naturally with what we do because it’s all about working with fabric and frames in demanding conditions.
Good Selection of Outdoor Materials We stock fabrics designed for outdoor use. Different weights, different sun resistance levels, different looks. We can show you options that make sense for your situation.
Local Service We’re based in Sarasota, which means we understand what awnings deal with here. The sun intensity, the summer storms, all of it. We’re not working from some generic playbook.
Why Work With Us for Awning Repair
We Know What We’re Doing: Awning repair takes specific skills. You’re dealing with heavy fabric, mechanical frames, and everything has to handle wind and weather. We’ve done enough of these repairs to know what works and what’s just a temporary patch.
- Proper Materials: Not all outdoor fabric is the same. We use materials designed for constant sun exposure and weather. The cheap stuff might save money upfront, but it’ll fall apart in a year or two. We’d rather do it right the first time.
- Honest Pricing: Awning repair is often way cheaper than replacement, but not always. We’ll tell you straight up if a repair makes sense or if you’re better off with a new awning. No point throwing good money after bad.

I can’t rave enough about the cushion doctors! I called them when our baby dropped a ring inside the cushion of my swivel chair. There was no way to get it out by hand. I called the cushion doctors and they had me bring it right over and took it apart, got the ring, and put it back together while we waited. It looks like new and my nieces wedding ring is back on her finger where it belongs! Thank you thank you!
