Questions
Aluminum Patio Covers FAQ
Will aluminum make my patio hot?
A non-insulated aluminum roof blocks direct sun but passes more heat than an insulated panel. If heat is your biggest concern, compare it with an insulated cover at your consultation.
Does it look like metal?
Wood-grain finishes and lattice designs look much like painted wood from the yard.
Can you replace my old wood cover?
Often, yes. We'll check the existing ledger, posts and footings during the consultation.
