A patio without cover in Southern California is a patio you use three months a year. The rest of the time it’s too hot, too bright, or both, while you’re paying a mortgage on every square foot of it.

A custom patio cover changes the math completely. It turns that dead zone into genuine outdoor living space, morning coffee without squinting, afternoon shade without retreating indoors, evening dinners that don’t end when the sun drops behind the roofline. Done right, it doesn’t just add comfort; it adds the feeling of an extra room to your home.

We build both solid covers (complete sun and rain protection, a true outdoor room) and lattice covers (filtered light with airflow). Every cover is custom-measured and engineered for your home’s dimensions, span, and style, with colors and finishes chosen to look like the cover was always part of the house.

Now the honest part, because we’d rather earn your trust than win a bid with fine print. Most patio-cover projects are designed up to 12 feet of projection from the edge of your house, which handles the vast majority of patios. If your space runs deeper than 12 feet, or needs additional structural work, the extra scope is quoted separately during your on-site estimate. Every quote matches the dimensions we measure on site. No surprises, no “oh, we didn’t account for that” halfway through the job.

Many of our patio cover customers go one step further: motorized screens on the open sides and LED lighting overhead. Prefer flexible shade instead? Compare our retractable awnings, or automate the whole setup with Somfy smart controls. The result is a fully finished outdoor room you’ll use more than your living room. Ask us about it during your free estimate, and ask about financing, too. With flexible financing options for qualified buyers, the complete setup doesn’t have to wait.

Reviews

What customers say

Verbatim, word for word from Google and Housecall Pro.

“We had shades installed throughout our house, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the initial consultation to the final installation, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The quality of the shades is excellent, they look amazing, and they fit perfectly. The installer was punctual, knowledgeable, and made sure everything was done right. Our home looks so much better, and the shades have made a huge difference in both appearance and comfort. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality window shades and exceptional customer service!”

FAQ

Patio cover questions, answered straight

What does the 12-foot projection rule mean?
We're straight with you: most patio-cover projects are designed up to 12 feet of projection, that's 12 feet out from the edge of your house. If your space requires a deeper span or additional structural work, we'll identify that during the site review and include it clearly in your custom estimate. Every quote matches the dimensions we measure; if your actual space is bigger than planned, we'll re-price honestly before any work starts.
Solid cover or lattice, which is right for me?
Solid covers give you complete sun and rain protection, a true outdoor room. Lattice (open-beam) covers filter sunlight while keeping airflow and some sky. During your free estimate we'll look at your sun exposure, how you use the space, and your home's style, then recommend what actually makes sense.
Will a patio cover match my house?
Yes. We custom-fit every cover to your home's dimensions and style, with color and finish options to complement your exterior. It should look like it was always part of the house, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Can I add screens or lighting later?
Absolutely, and it's smart to plan for it. Many customers pair a solid cover with motorized side screens and LED lighting for a fully finished outdoor living space. We can install everything at once or pre-wire for future additions.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
Possibly both. Attached patio covers often require city permits depending on your municipality, and many HOAs require architectural approval before exterior changes. We'll walk you through what's needed in your area during the estimate, we've done this across Riverside, Orange, San Diego, LA, and San Bernardino counties and know the local requirements.
Are aluminum or wood patio covers better?
For most Southern California homes, aluminum, it won't warp, crack, or attract termites, and it holds its finish for years with minimal upkeep. Wood has a classic look but needs regular staining and is vulnerable to sun and pests. We'll show you both options during your estimate so you can compare for yourself.
What determines the final project scope?
Your site review does: the cover's size and projection, how it attaches to your home, structural needs like footings or ledger reinforcement, and any electrical or lighting you want built in. We'll measure everything and give you a clear written quote before you commit.
Can the cover be customized for my home?
Yes, every cover is custom-fit to your home's dimensions and style, with color and finish options to complement your exterior. Add-ons like ceiling fans, LED lighting, and motorized side screens can be built in now or pre-wired for later.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We partner with Enhancify and Wisetack so qualified buyers can get flexible financing options, with 30+ lenders competing for your business. Apply once and pick the payment terms you like best.
