Established in 1946 by Al Andrews, AA Sign & Awning earned renown for its quality and service. Al’s legacy lives on with “The Al Andrews Award,” given annually by the Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce and the City of Warwick. After Al’s passing in 1986, George and Carolyn Daubmann took over, spurring significant growth. They expanded services, diversified into residential and commercial awnings, and relocated to a 15,000-square-foot facility in Warwick, Rhode Island. In 2023, Darryl Lindie found AA Sign & Awning as a business with the strong track record, a high standard for products provided, and many opportunities to grow. He decided to acquire the business and became the new owner in July 2023.
