Patio Covers

Our insulated aluminum covers typically reduce temperatures underneath by 15-20 degrees compared to direct sun. The foam-core insulation prevents radiant heat from penetrating, making a noticeable difference even on 100-degree San Antonio days.

An insulated cover uses foam-core panels that dramatically reduce radiant heat — you can feel the difference the moment you step under one. Non-insulated covers (lattice, single-skin metal) provide shade but still transfer significant heat. In San Antonio, insulated is worth the upgrade.

Almost none — an occasional rinse with a garden hose is all that's needed. The powder-coated finish resists fading and won't peel, chip, rust, or attract termites. No painting, staining, or sealing ever.

Attached covers connect to your home's roofline and are the most common and cost-effective option. Freestanding covers sit on independent posts, giving you more placement flexibility but requiring additional footings and engineering — typically 20-30% more than comparable attached covers.

Absolutely. Our covers include fan beams engineered to support ceiling fans, and we integrate recessed lighting, pendant fixtures, or LED strips directly into the structure. Electrical rough-in is part of the project.

Most patio covers are installed in 1-3 days after posts and footings are set. The full process from estimate to completion is typically 2-4 weeks including permitting, which we handle entirely.
