I just wanted to say we really enjoyed the tent. But more than that your employees were nothing short of amazing!! The tent placement was challenging and they worked with us to ensure that it did not cause any property issues as well placed it perfectly with the patio making it visually perfect. Everyone was great to work with and the installers were very sweet and caring men!! You could tell they wanted everything perfect for our event!! Thanks -Mark-

EXCEPTIONAL service & communication! We rented a large tent, tables and chairs for a baby shower and everything went so smooth. Highly recommend this local company!

Writing this review, not about awnings or tents. Its about the great appreciation I have for the people who have made this company a success for 149 years. Their generosity has restored my faith that there are still wonderful people out here willing to help and not asking for anything in return.I asked them if they could modify my dog walking leach to better assist me with my walking at the Menands shelter.It will take a bit of heavy duty stitching and modifying but they offered to do it at no cost and were genuinely happy to do it. This may not sound like much to some of you but its folks like this that really made me happy today. Not because its free, but because of kindness. Anyway, I'm grateful to have crossed paths with them today.
