Patio covers & shade

Patio Covers in Los Angeles

A patio cover turns a sun-baked slab into an outdoor room you’ll actually use. We install solid, insulated and lattice patio covers in aluminum and wood, plus retractable shade and privacy screens that fine-tune comfort.

Guide

Choosing the right kind of cover.

Most homeowners want two things from a patio cover: real shade in the afternoon and a structure that looks like part of the house. We’ll help you decide between aluminum and wood, attached and freestanding, and solid or lattice roofs, then add retractable shade or privacy screens where low sun or neighbors are a concern.

Solid covers

Full shade and rain protection over dining and lounge areas.

Insulated covers
