Thatcher Oaks Awnings began in 1984 on Thatcher St., in River Forest, IL. We are a family owned and operated business and serve our customers like family! Customer support and superior product quality are our central focus in creating “World Class Customer Service”. Through word of mouth and customer referrals we steadily grew to become the largest and most trustworthy commercial awning specialist in the Chicagoland area. Our motto, “We’ve Got You Covered,” has proved true, as Thatcher Oaks Awnings has long been the choice of the top restaurants, hotels, attractions, and franchises that have defined Chicago for many years.

We installed our first retractable awning over 20 years ago, and due to demand, founded Thatcher Retractables, to focus exclusively on manufacturing, installing, and servicing top quality residential retractable awnings. We pride ourselves on having the best product on the market, and making that product available to every budget. We guarantee the highest quality awnings at the best prices. Thatcher Retractables will show you how to push a button, and “Roll out a vacation in your backyard!”

Because all Thatcher Oaks employees are part of an extended family, we serve our company with pride. Our goal is always to provide an easy process for our customers, and we strive to make the best products on the market. We complete all work in-house, in our 40,000 square foot complex in Elmhurst; the quality always meets Thatcher Oaks’ standards and our customers are free to observe at any stage of the process. At Thatcher Oaks, you will never be greeted by an electronic answering service, but rather a friendly and helpful customer service representative. If you choose Thatcher Oaks, you are guaranteed that we will handle your unique project with expert care.
