Patio Covers
If you have a patio on your home, you may not use it very often because it’s exposed to rain and the sun’s excessive heat. No matter how nice your patio may be, if you don’t use it, it doesn’t do you much good.
Start enjoying more outdoor time on your patio with a patio cover installed over it. It will allow you to enjoy an outdoor meal, watch the kids playing in the yard or pool, or simply relax, all underneath a shaded ceiling. No more sunburn, ruined meals, or leaves falling on your furniture.
Benefits
of Patio covers
When you have a patio cover installed on your home, you will find that you will enjoy your time outdoors even more than ever before. This is because patio covers have many benefits to offer, such as:
Weather Resistance
Without a covering, rain, or even a light drizzle, can force the party inside. Patio covers are rain-resistant so you can enjoy being outside – rain or shine.
UV Protection
We all love the sun, but exposure to its rays can be dangerous. Protect your skin with a patio cover.
Insulation Against Heat
Insulated patio covers can deflect some of the heat, making your time outside more comfortable.
Shade
Avoid the glare of the sun and keep the surface of your patio much cooler with a patio cover that offers plentiful shade.
Beauty
Patio covers are very attractive and are available in a variety of colors, styles, and designs.
Versatility
It’s easy to convert a patio cover into a fully screened enclosure.
Choose the Right Patio Cover
Whatever your reason for adding a patio cover, choosing the right construction system is the first step. Although some individuals may rely on temporary tent structures or awnings to shield them from the sun on their patios, these are not a good long-term investment. It’s easy for these flimsy structures to become tousled, ripped or even completely blown away by heavy winds, hail, or rain. They will also easily fade from sun exposure after a short while.
A more viable solution would be to invest in a strong, durable patio cover that is constructed of high-quality materials made to last for many years. This type of permanent structure will serve you well for a long time. They will protect your patio from sun and rain so you can use it more often.

Aluminum vs. Wood/Vinyl
Patio covers can be made of several different materials. The 3 most popular ones are aluminum, wood and vinyl. They all have their pros and cons.
Durable Products
3"x12" Riser Flat Plans
- Underside view is flat with ribs approximately every 2” and is preferred over corrugated systems. Looks very much like tongue & groove planks.
- Both of our mounted gutter systems have less area to clog and are more accessible for cleaning than the w-pan gutter. Roll-Form gutter & valance are available in cedar embossed and smooth finished. For added strength & durability, choose extruded gutter and valance.
- Gutter braces provided a standard with each order to support both the extruded and roll-form gutters.
- Patio cover can be enclosed and insulation can be retrofitted to the unit at the time of construction or later, using the Insulator Pan System. Adding insulation to other patio systems reduces headroom under the cover, produces inconsistent temperatures and requires bug plugs which constantly pop out of place.
- Rich baked-on finish is available in smooth and cedar-embossed in various colors. This aluminum roof system is very low maintenance, only requiring an occasional light-pressure wash to rinse off dirt and debris.
- Custom rolled to exact lengths from 4’10” to 30’.
- Attaches easily to any structure.
- Pans are boxed on one end to help prevent wind-blown water from entering wall header.
- Roof pitches as low as 1/2” per foot.
Snap-N-Lock™ Insulated Panels
- Smooth and level surface both top and bottom. No cavity areas to hold debris as in other patio roof systems.
- The continuous insulated foam interface makes the design of the panel extremely energy efficient. Temperatures underneath the cover are dramatically reduced. Built-in insulation makes converting to a screen or glass enclosure quick & easy.
- The aluminum skins of Snap-N-Lock™ panel are machine rolled to form a unique locking system that simply snaps together. Sealant is encased in the joint, protecting it from ultraviolet destruction and forming a waterproof seal.
- Foam acts as a thermal break between metal skins at the seam eliminating condensation problems inherent in other systems.
- Several color selections are available with a stucco or cedar embossed baked-enamel finish. The aluminum roof system is very low-maintenance, only requiring an occasional light pressure wash to rinse off dirt and debris.
- Both the extruded fascia and gutter have a built-in drip channel that allows water to escape easily. Covers are available with fascia trim completely around the perimeter or gutter along the front and valance on sides.
- Adapts easily to any structure, installs quickly and easily and offers a great deal of design flexibility.
- Extensive and rigid testing ensures that the Snap-N-Lock™ panels can withstand winds as high as 150 m.p.h., support loads up to 72lbs. per sq. ft. and exceeds industry fire standards.
- Walkway covers utilizing the Snap-N-Lock™ roof system with gutters, post and beam components from RainTight are an affordable and durable alternative to expensive extruded-roof walkway systems.
- With this sealed system, roof pitches as low as 1/4” per foot can be achieved.
- Optional skylights, electrical chaseways, and fan beams.
- 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Standard Patio Covers
As a result of being cooped up indoors during the long winter months, many Midwesterners do whatever they can to make the most of the warmer seasons throughout the year. As soon as the temperature starts to warm up, most of us are eager to get out and enjoy some fresh air. Whether we’re grilling out with our neighbors, or watching our kids swim in the pool, there’s no better feeling than being outside. Patio covers can actually make this experience even better and can add to the value of your home.
Custom Patio Covers
All of us want to get as much fresh air as possible during the late Spring and Summer months. At the same time, we want our homes to be attractive, and reflective of our values and style. There’s no reason that you can’t have the best of both worlds. Our custom patio covers can make it easier and safer for you to spend time outdoors while still matching with the general style and design of your property.
