Our story
A Little History
Andrew was first introduced to the awning and signage industry at twelve years old, when he helped install an awning for his Father’s flag and banner company. Andrew immediately fell in love with the industry.
All throughout high school and college, Andrew always worked for his parents company – learning every aspect of the trade. After graduating Bentley University in 2012, he went to work for the family business full-time, heading the Sales and Marketing department.
After a family dispute, Andrew had an opportunity to branch off on his own and start his own company – that resulted in the founding of Lafuente Sign and Awning in the Spring of 2015.
First operating out of his Mother’s garage at her home in Somerville, MA, Andrew began diligently calling local businesses, looking for anyone to give him an opportunity to do their awning work – it took him several months just to sell his first job.
He would eventually lease a small commercial space in Stoneham, MA before purchasing a larger commercial building in Everett, MA.
Today, the company is Headquartered in Peabody, MA, serving both commercial and residential clients throughout Massachusetts, New England and the country.
Even as the company has scaled, Andrew still holds true to the same values that were important to him when he started the company, more than a decade ago: Respect, Integrity, Customer Experience and Quality of Work.
