WHAT IS A PATIO COVER?


A patio cover is an overhead structure designed to protect outdoor areas from sun, rain, and other elements. Unlike sunrooms, patio covers typically do not have walls, allowing you to maintain an open, airy feel while adding protection for furniture, plants, and guests.


Patio covers can be constructed from a variety of materials, including wood, aluminum, or composite options. Each material provides different benefits in terms of durability, maintenance, and appearance. Our team helps you select the material and style that best suits your home and outdoor needs.


A patio cover is more than just functional; it also adds aesthetic value. With options for decorative posts, beams, and roof styles, your patio cover can be designed to complement existing landscaping and home architecture, creating a seamless extension of your indoor living space.

MATERIALS & STYLES

WOOD PATIO COVERS


Wood patio covers provide a classic, warm appearance that blends naturally with your home and yard. Commonly used woods include cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated lumber. Wood offers flexibility in design and can be painted or stained to match your home’s exterior. Proper maintenance, such as sealing and staining, ensures long-term durability and preserves its natural beauty.

ALUMINUM & METAL PATIO COVERS 


Aluminum and metal covers are low-maintenance, lightweight, and highly durable. They resist rot, insects, and warping, making them ideal for long-lasting outdoor protection. Aluminum covers can be powder-coated in a variety of colors and finishes, providing both functionality and modern appeal.

COMPOSITE PATIO COVERS


Composite materials combine the aesthetic qualities of wood with the durability of synthetic materials. These covers require minimal maintenance and are resistant to fading, cracking, and weather damage. Composite patio covers offer a long-lasting solution for homeowners seeking both style and longevity.

PATIO COVER STYLES & FEATURES


Patio covers can be customized with features that improve comfort and usability, including:


• Sloped or flat roof designs for water runoff.

• Open beam or lattice-style roofing for light control.

• Ceiling fans or integrated lighting for evening use.

• Adjustable louvers for sun control and ventilation.


These features allow you to tailor your patio cover to your specific lifestyle and outdoor entertainment needs.
