If you are searching for patio covers near you, West Coast Awnings has been building custom aluminum patio covers for Sacramento Valley homeowners since 1985. We are local patio cover installers, not a kit retailer, and every cover is measured on site, engineered for your roofline and permitted before we build. Solid insulated, solid non-insulated, lattice and combination covers, nine Duralum colors, four cut styles, lifetime warranty. We serve Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Rocklin, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks and Granite Bay.
Our aluminum patio covers in Sacramento are constructed of embossed aluminum with a textured woodgrain finish. They are built with heavy header beams, are weather-resistant, and easily withstand sun, rain, wind, and extreme temperatures with virtually no maintenance. Sacramento is known as the City of Trees, and our aluminum patio awnings help preserve our environment because we use recycled aluminum. Unlike real wood, aluminum patio covers will not burn, crack, peel, warp, rot, or attract termites. Homeowners who want shade over a window or door rather than a full cover can compare options with a local awning installation near me search on our awning company page.
Our aluminum patio covers come in three styles to suit your needs. If you want added shade but still want to enjoy sunlight and a breeze, a lattice patio cover is an ideal solution. For more protection from the elements, a solid roof patio cover is a great fit. A combination cover gives you the best of both, sun when you want it and shade when you need it, so you can enjoy your outdoor living space even when the weather is not ideal.

West Coast Awnings designs and installs custom aluminum patio awnings and patio covers for homeowners across the Sacramento area.

Aluminum patio covers are a reliable way to add shade, comfort, and curb appeal to your home. Popular options include lattice covers for filtered sunlight, solid covers for full protection from sun and rain, and combination styles that balance light and coverage. Aluminum is ideal in Sacramento because it will not rot, warp, or attract termites the way wood can.
Patio Cover Styles We Build
We build three core aluminum patio cover styles so you can match the cover to how you use your yard, plus window awnings and privacy walls to round out your outdoor space:
- Solid patio covers (non-insulated) give full shade and rain protection, ideal for a dedicated outdoor room.
- Solid insulated patio covers (IR3) add an insulated roof panel that keeps the space noticeably cooler under the summer sun.
- Lattice patio covers filter the sun and let air move through, a great fit for gardens, walkways, and open seating.
- Combination covers blend both, with solid coverage where you sit or grill and open lattice across the rest.
- Aluminum window awnings cut heat and glare at your doors and windows.
- Privacy walls add shade and seclusion to the side of a patio.
- Louvered System-Apollo adjusts to give you sun or shade on demand.
Choose From 4 Cut Styles
The fascia, the front edge of the cover, can be finished in one of four cut styles so the cover matches the lines of your home.
Select From 9 Brilliant Colors
Each cover is available in nine woodgrain and solid finishes, so you can match your home's exterior. A few of the most popular are shown below.
Color note: due to different monitors and calibrations, colors may vary slightly from the images above. We cannot guarantee that on-screen colors exactly match the true color of the product.
What Affects the Cost of a Patio Cover in Sacramento
Every patio cover is custom built, so there is no single price. The main factors that affect cost are the size of the cover, the style you choose (lattice, solid, or combination), how it attaches to your home, the color and finish, and any add-ons such as lighting, fans, or built-in speakers. The most accurate way to get a number is a free on-site consultation, where we measure the space and walk you through the options with no pressure.
What the Installation Process Looks Like
Most projects start with a quick conversation about your goals, measurements, and style preferences. From there, we recommend a patio cover style, color, and finish that fits your property. We pull the building permit with your jurisdiction and fabricate the aluminum components in our shop to your home's exact dimensions. Once the design is confirmed and the permit is in place, our team schedules the install and completes the work efficiently, usually in one to two days, so you can enjoy the results quickly.
Built to Last in Sacramento's Climate
Sacramento summers run hot and dry, and winters bring rain. Aluminum handles both without the problems wood runs into. Our covers will not burn, crack, peel, warp, rot, or attract termites, and they need virtually no maintenance from year to year. Every cover is built with heavy header beams to stand up to sun, rain, and wind, and is backed by a fully transferable lifetime warranty from our manufacturing partners. We also use recycled aluminum, a more environmentally friendly choice for the City of Trees.
How much weight does a patio cover add?
Our covers are light. On average they weigh about 0.62 pounds per square foot, so a 12 by 30 foot cover (360 square feet) adds roughly 225 pounds spread across the structure.
