Todd Smith - Jacksonville, FL - Superior Metal Awning

Todd Smith 

With 40 years in the awning industry, Todd began his career at Awning Systems of North Florida. In 1995, eleven years after learning the trade, he started his own company, Advanced Awning & Design. After successfully building the company into the largest awning company in Jacksonville, Florida, he expanded his product line from fabric awnings to a wide range of custom metal and fabric products. 

 

In 2019, by the time Todd sold Advanced Awning and Design, the company offered fabric and metal awnings, canopies, retractable awnings and screens, Bahama Shutters, trellises, and more. 

​

Gaining and retaining nationwide accounts in his years of experience, Todd became the "go-to awning guy" for companies such as, Ale House, Steak and Shake, Metro Diner, Bonefish Grill, Perkin's, and Dunkin' Donuts. All of which required him to travel nationwide to survey, install, and service each account. 

​

After he sold his business and taken a year off, he still had the desire to continue working in the trade. He then  reunited and joined forces with a former employee, Jeremy Thole, which led him to where he is today at Superior Shade & Awning.
