The patio you can use at noon in July.
A solid cover is a continuous aluminum roof panel on the same posts and beams as a lattice. It blocks the sun completely, sheds rain, and gives you a ceiling to hang a fan, lights or a heater from.
The roof pans are pitched to drain and finished in the same wood-grain colors as the rest of the structure, so from the yard it reads as one piece with the house.
- Full shade and a dry patio
- Fans, lights and heaters mount into the roof
- Attached to the fascia or freestanding
- Pairs with lattice in a combo cover
Seven colors, four edges.
Two choices shape how the cover looks from the yard: the baked-on color, and the profile cut into the end of every rafter. The finish sheds dirt, dust and stains and stands up to sun, salt and pollution, so the cover stays the color you chose.

The look of wood, minus the upkeep.
Alumawood is embossed aluminum. It reads as timber from the yard and asks nothing of you afterwards.
Insect-proof
Termites and carpenter bees get nothing to eat. There is no wood in it.
No painting
The color is baked on. It does not peel, so there is nothing to scrape or repaint.
Weather-resistant
Sun, wind and the occasional hard rain leave it as it was. Aluminum does not rot or rust.
Crack-resistant
It does not dry out and split the way wood does after a few Bakersfield summers.
Stays straight
Rafters do not twist, cup or sag as the seasons turn. The lines you saw on day one stay put.

Questions about solid patio covers.
No. It stops the sun reaching the slab and the furniture, which is where the heat comes from. If you want it cooler still, an insulated roof or a ceiling fan makes the biggest difference.
Yes. Fans, lights and radiant heaters mount into the roof panel. Say so at the estimate and the electrical is run during the build.
Yes. Power screens from several makers mount to the cover's beams and drop to block glare, wind and bugs, which is handy around a pool or an outdoor TV. They can go in with the cover or later.
Yes. LED lights, recessed or string style, wire into the rafters, and a ceiling fan mounts to a solid or insulated roof or to a fan beam on a lattice. Say so at the estimate and the wiring is run during the build, by a licensed electrician, to code.
Yes, with the clearances the heater's maker specifies. Alumawood is Class A fire rated. A gas or electric heater stretches the season into fall and early spring.
The cover itself is fixed, but the screens, shades, lights, fans and heaters you add to it can be tied to sun, wind and rain sensors or a smart-home hub. A screen can drop on its own when the wind gets up, and the lights can come on from your phone.
An attached patio cover in Kern County normally needs a building permit, and we pull it as part of the job. Freestanding structures under a certain size sometimes do not; we tell you which applies to yours at the estimate.
Labor and materials on the cover itself. If it stops working the way it should, we repair it at no charge. The details are on the warranty page.
