Sunmaster of Naples

What Sunmaster of Naples does

Sunmaster of Naples is a custom architectural fabrication company founded in 1969 in Naples, Florida, operating from a 24,000 square foot facility with approximately 35 employees. The company is organized into four product divisions: Architectural Canvas (custom awnings, canopies, and fabric accents), Architectural Metals (custom staircases, railings, trellises, pergolas, gates, and decorative metalwork in aluminum, brass, and stainless steel), Storm Protection (exclusive Collier County distributor of Nautilus Roll Shutters, plus Bahama and Colonial shutters), and Titan Screen Motorized Retractable Screens. Sunmaster serves both residential homeowners and commercial clients (restaurants, hotels, country clubs, marinas, and institutional facilities) across Southwest Florida, with products engineered to meet Florida Building Code high-velocity hurricane zone requirements and to integrate with home automation platforms including Crestron and Control4.

The company's revenue model is project-based custom manufacturing and installation: every product is designed, fabricated, and professionally installed by Sunmaster's own teams following a free, no-obligation in-home consultation. Pricing is quote-based on verified measurements and site inspection, with no publicly disclosed price points. Distribution occurs through direct sales and installation, a physical showroom at the Naples headquarters, and an authorized Titan Screen dealer network for the proprietary motorized screen product. Sunmaster holds exclusive territorial distribution rights for Nautilus Roll Shutters in Collier County and uses Somfy motors exclusively in Titan Screen systems.

The company is a subsidiary of the Hoffmann Family of Companies, a diversified family-owned conglomerate. Leadership transitioned in 2012 when founders Mark and Darlene Miller retired and John Wilkinson (President, Certified General Contractor, 20+ years tenure) and Dave Rinker (Co-Owner and chief developer of Titan Screen) took over operations. Sunmaster has accumulated 60 International Achievement Awards from the Industrial Fabric Association International and 2 Ernest Wiemann Top Job Awards from the National Ornamental and Miscellaneous Metal Association, reflecting multi-decade design and fabrication recognition.
