Backyard living
The everyday case: turn an unusable slab into the room the house is missing.
Residential
The room your house is missing.
Backyards, poolside pergolas and outdoor kitchens across the Inland Empire — built to the same structural standard as our commercial work.
Where a cover earns its keep
Four places it changes the house.
Poolside & freestanding
Detached structures that put shade exactly where you want it, not where the wall is.
Outdoor kitchens
Solid covers over grills, islands and bars — shade plus real weather protection.
Entry & front elevation
Gables and porticos that change how the house reads from the street.
Pick a roof
Five ways to cover it.
LatticeEvenly spaced beams that break the sun into bars of light and shadow. Air moves through it, so the space stays cool without feeling closed in.Backyardswalkwayspoolside seatingSolidA sealed roof panel that blocks sun and rain outright.

Common questions
What homeowners ask.
How long does a residential patio cover take to build?
Most straightforward residential covers install in a few days once materials are on site. Larger louvered or custom structures take longer; we give you a date range in the quote, not a guess.
Do I need a permit for a patio cover?
Usually yes in Inland Empire cities, and we handle it. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and by whether the cover is attached or freestanding — we confirm during the site visit.
What is the difference between Alumawood and real wood?
Alumawood is powder-coated aluminum with an embossed woodgrain finish. It looks like painted timber but will not rot, warp, split, or need re-staining, and termites have no interest in it.
Can a patio cover attach to my existing roof?
In most cases yes. We check the fascia, rafters and attachment points during the site walk and engineer the connection accordingly — that is exactly what the site visit is for.
Do you offer motorized louvered roofs for homes?
Yes. We are an Authorized Equinox dealer — the blades rotate from fully open to sealed watertight, giving filtered light at midday and solid cover when the weather turns.
