    Advanced Awnings was founded in 1992 by Mike Cohen, after 17 years in the industrial fabric industry.  Mike has been an owner, operator in the industrial fabrics business in Coloma since 1978.  Operating as Champion Upholstery, Mikes projects included canvas and awning work, as well as custom fabrication projects for commercial, industrial, and residential customers.  Mike first purchased commercial property in Coloma in 1980, and built our current commercial building, of 2900 square feet, in 1987.
