Our Mission In Central Ohio
About Buckeye State Awnings & The Boval Family
Central Ohio Homeowners Deserve an Outdoor Space They Can Actually Use — That’s Why We Exist
Buckeye State Awnings was built on one simple belief — that every family in Columbus, Dublin, Dayton, and across Central Ohio deserves to enjoy every inch of their home, inside and out, in comfort and style, every season the weather allows.
The Boval Family
Meet The Boval Family — Owners, Buckeye State Awnings
The Boval family has always believed that the best businesses are built on two things — doing right by the customer and standing behind your word. That’s not a philosophy they learned in a boardroom. It’s the standard they held themselves to through a deep, multi-generation tradition of service: Jamie served in the U.S. Army, his son Brendan is currently serving in the Marines, Jamie’s father Ken is a Vietnam-era Army veteran, and his grandfather fought at Iwo Jima with the Marines — with two other family members having served in the Army Air Corps and the Coast Guard. That’s the same standard they bring to every consultation, every custom installation, and every follow-up call they make to make sure Central Ohio homeowners are completely satisfied.
With over 25 years of combined experience in the industry, the Boval family built Buckeye State Awnings around the values that military service instilled — precision, integrity, and an unshakeable commitment to getting it right. As a Top Rated SunPro dealer, they chose their product partner specifically because the quality reflects those same values. Built to perform. Backed by the strongest warranty in the industry. Installed with care that goes well beyond the job site.
Their approach is refreshingly direct. They’ll come to your home, listen carefully to what you need, give you an honest recommendation, and never steer you toward something that isn’t the right fit for your space or your budget. Central Ohio homeowners who’ve worked with the Boval family consistently describe the same experience — someone who showed up prepared, told the truth, delivered exceptional work, and followed through long after the last installation was complete.
That’s not a sales pitch. That’s just who the Boval family is.
This Page Is Really About You
You’ve invested real money building a home you love in Central Ohio. You chose your neighborhood, your layout, your outdoor furniture, your patio. You imagined warm evenings outside with your family, weekend cookouts with friends, quiet mornings with coffee before the day heats up.
And then Ohio weather showed up in full force. The storms that roll in without warning. The summer sun that bakes your patio by early afternoon. The short window between “too cold to sit outside” and “too hot to sit outside” that makes you wonder where the good weather actually went. Suddenly that beautiful outdoor space became the room you walk past on your way back inside.
That’s the problem Buckeye State Awnings was created to solve. You didn’t build your outdoor space just to look at it through a window — you want to actually use it, comfortably, for as much of the year as Ohio will give you. We get it.

Why We Chose Our Brands — And Why It Matters to You
Buckeye State Awnings doesn’t carry a shelf full of competing brands. Every retractable awning and motorized screen we install comes from one manufacturer — SunPro — and that decision was completely deliberate.
SunPro is the fastest-growing awning and screen manufacturer in America, and they’ve earned that position the hard way — by building a genuinely superior product, manufacturing it in the United States, delivering it faster than any competitor in the industry, and backing it with a 10-year non-prorated warranty covering hardware, fabric, and motor. No asterisks. No fine print. No diminishing coverage over time.
Jamie Boval has a direct relationship with SunPro and has seen firsthand how their products are designed and tested to perform through everything from summer humidity to Ohio’s freeze-thaw winters. That connection means Buckeye State Awnings customers get access to the full SunPro product line, the latest innovations, and authorized dealer support that box stores and independent retailers simply cannot offer.
When you choose Buckeye State Awnings, you’re not just getting a local installer. You’re getting Central Ohio’s direct connection to the best motorized awning and screen manufacturer in the country — installed by a family that puts their name on every job.
