A well-built patio cover turns a hot slab into the most-used room in the house. We design and install attached and freestanding covers in powder-coated aluminum and wood, including adjustable louvered systems that open to the sky and close against rain, with integrated lighting, fans, heaters and speakers.
Cover styles
Solid insulated aluminum covers provide full shade and rain protection and can carry fans and recessed lights. Louvered pergolas have motorized slats that rotate to control sun and close to shed rain. Lattice and open-beam covers offer filtered light. Attached covers tie into the house fascia or wall with proper flashing; freestanding structures work over pools, kitchens or fire features.
Engineered and permitted
Patio covers are structures and need to handle wind and seismic loads. We provide engineered plans, pull permits where required, pour footings to spec and flash every connection to the house. Powder-coated aluminum in black, bronze or white never needs painting.
Make it a room
We run electrical for ceiling fans, dimmable recessed lighting and infrared heaters, add privacy screens or motorized shades, and pair the cover with pavers, turf and an outdoor kitchen so the whole space works together.

Patio Covers questions, answered
How much does a patio cover cost in Los Angeles?
Solid insulated aluminum covers typically cost $12,000 to $30,000 installed depending on size and electrical. Motorized louvered pergolas usually run $25,000 to $60,000. We quote after measuring on site.
Do I need a permit for a patio cover?
Most attached covers and larger freestanding structures require a permit in Los Angeles. We handle the engineering, permit and inspections.
Aluminum or wood?
Aluminum is maintenance-free, termite-proof and available in insulated panels for a cooler space. Wood offers a warmer look but needs periodic sealing. We install both and will walk you through the trade-offs.
