What we cover

Four kinds of commercial job.

Restaurants & bars

Covered terraces that keep seating usable through summer. We work around service hours and get the space back to you open.

  • Heater and lighting provisions
  • Misting and fan mounting
  • Health-department clearances

Retail & shopping centers

Storefront canopies and walkway covers with consistent finishes across an entire center — long runs matched end to end.

  • Multi-tenant scheduling
  • Matched finishes per centre standard
  • ADA-compliant clearances

Apartments, HOA & multi-family

Walkway covers, carports and pool-area shade structures built to survive heavy shared use and the Inland Empire sun.

  • Phased builds around residents
  • HOA board documentation
  • Low-maintenance finishes

Offices & institutional

Entry canopies, courtyard shade and break-area covers where the structure has to match the architecture, not fight it.

  • Architect and GC coordination
  • Knotwood timber-look finishes
  • Custom colour matching

Common questions

Before you ask.

Do you pull permits for commercial patio covers?

Yes. Commercial work is built to engineered, permit-ready plans and we handle city submittal and inspection coordination as part of the job.

Can you build while our business stays open?

Almost always. We phase commercial installs around service hours, tenants and customers — most restaurant and retail projects never close the business.

What areas do you serve for commercial work?

We are based in Oak Hills and work throughout the Inland Empire, San Bernardino County and Riverside County, and travel further for multi-site commercial clients.

Are you licensed and insured for commercial projects?

Yes — CSLB license #996932, bonded, with active workers' compensation coverage. Documentation is available on request for GC and property-manager prequalification.
